News and commentary on books and writers


Monday, September 24, 2007

I know a lot of Harry Potter fans are anxiously checking the blog today… so I just wanted to post a quick not to say sorry that it’s taking so long to post the contest winners’ names today! We got an AVALANCHE of entries over the weekend, so it’s taking a while to sort through them all and remove the duplicate entries. We just want to make sure it’s fair for everyone. So be patient! We will be posting the winners’ names as soon as muggley possible today!

It’s been awesome to be hearing from so many HP fans - thanks for all your comments! I know the wait is hard… but keep your fingers crossed for a little while longer!

And if anyone knows the spell for making time pass more quickly, feel free to use it now! smile

Next entry: Finally! JK Rowling Contest Winners! Previous entry: And the Crowds Go Wild

Ah! Thanks for posting, I was scared! Still am… My fingers are crossed and I hope that my name’s pulled. Just a quick question: were we allowed to enter once every day on the weekend, or just once on the weekend? Thanks!

Oooooh I can’t wait!  All weekend I came checking back even though I knew nothing would be posted.  *gets nervous*

Alright, now I really, really wish I had a vile of Felix Felicis… *crosses fingers instead*

Siobhan, you rock! I’m so glad you’re understanding and that someone who actually seems to LIKESHarry Potter is working on this project. When I read this entry I laughed, because I’ve been refreshing this page ever since I got home from school too *insert dork face here*. Good luck on sorting out those entries, it’s probably been really tiring. Sorry!
With all my love,
Amanda

ah, thank you for the update! I was checking every 30 minutes at work~ big surprise
I have my fingers crossed, and I really hope that fortune will turn her face to me, not her back, as it always happens, plus it’s my birthday in a couple of days, that could be best gift ever! EVen if I don’t win, I still have the books, but… oh, well, I’ll cross my toes now! LOL

Does it mean that if we entered saturday, sunday AND monday our entries will be removed because considered as duplicate entries? Even if we entered only once every day? :O
But I thought it was one entry per person, per day!! (not per weekend...)

:(

snake Aww poor you!! If I had a Time Turner, I definitely would give it to you =)
Have fun sorting all those names out!

OoooOooo, another birthday! Birthday shoutouts to all HP fans out there, refreshing every five seconds!

Hey Emily - If you entered on the weekend, your name will be entered once.

Hi Amanda - Yes, I love HP too! It’s actually been my co-worker Monica who’s been slaving away on sorting those entries today. Monica’s a huge HP fan also, so hopefully that made it a little more fun for her. ;P

Fatma - If your dad wins, he can definitely bring you.

Germain - No worries, we’re just taking out duplicate entries. So if you entered twice, then we’ll remove the second entry. You’ll still be entered once in the draw, not disqualified.

SO GLAD that this was posted, I am going out of my MIND! I also have a question (since everyone seems to be asking) If I win, and I am say… 16, do I have to bring a Parent/Guardian who is over 18 or could I bring a friend who is also 16, who loves Harry Potter as much as I do, and considerably more than my parent/guardian.

Monica, you rock 50 billion more times than all the Weasleys combined! So do you just sort through all these comments then, Siobhan?

 on  09/24  at  03:38 PM

Do you guys need help with sorting emails or anything else HP related? If so let me know, I’m done with school and need some sort of hobby.

 on  09/24  at  03:45 PM

Matthew - I’m not sure… I think you’d have to get your parent/guardian to sign off on that.

Amanda - What a great compliment. Monica does rock!! smile

Goodnight you guys, sorry for being the obssessive fans that we tend to be! Sleep tight and be sure to dream up some good ones.

I made up a song.

Anticipation!Anticipation!
I am very anticipated. I really, really, do need to win!
Or else I will cry!!!
Anticipation!!!

(sung to the tune of the phantom of the opera)

WAH.
