Drum Roll Please: Let The Oh Harry Giveaway Contest Commence
So, a week has passed from the end of our Scholastic Harry Potter Contest & Book Set Giveaway and I was finally able to get all three kids together to vote on favorites.Sad how busy we are!
Shamefully, I added it to my calendar as the 17th, but wrote the seventh. Mere Details! I know, I know.
Let's blame CG because it's always CG's fault, right??
Heh! Okay, must focus!
Drum roll please...
Let's start with the the pictures, shall we?
Memories: For three book sets being offered, only two of you readers submitted pics of "The best moments photos of you, your children, or your family either reading any book or in Harry Potter costume;" Yet, those people submitted so many pics from which to chose...
So easy to judge, you both won!!
Beki won for this adorable pic the kids loved of her daughter at a book signing:
And the second set goes to Lisa from Unfiltered Insanity for her pic of friends (close enough to family) with death eaters:
Fandom: Two sets were to be awarded for fandom. Readers told us your favorite Harry Potter moments from the books. I printed out all submissions with names removed
Molly said: My favorite part is at the end of I believe the fourth book (isn't horrible my old brain can't keep the story separted by volume much less remember the titles) when Harry is fighting Voldemort and their wand beams (?) strike and hold each other. That whole fight scene was awesome and amazing and can only be rivaled by poor Dumbledors demise with frozen Harry having to watch. my favs...geez talking about it makes me wants to go start all over again.
Tendrils said: I have so many, but probably the most magical are all from the 1st book when J.K. Rowling gets us hooked through descriptions of Diagon Alley, the Sorting Hat, Platform 9 3/4, etc.
Close Runner up was this:
Lisa Unfiltered said: And, my favorite moment from any book has got to be Harry and Ginny's first kiss after Gryffindor won at Quidditch. So. INTENSE.
Very close, but I figured since Lisa had already won with her pic, I had him chose another. I am thinking Lisa is very attuned to Harry...
Finally, we get to my favorite loyalty.
Loyalty: Ahhh, people who left me comments that they blogrolled me.
Little old me and this imperfect blog:
It makes me all warm and fuzzy.
So, we put you all in a hat and the winner was:
Jeanne Sager from Babble: Strollerderby where her article linking me and my struggle with our Grendel's cancer I deem was the same as a blogroll
So ladies, please kindly send me an email at:Add in the email your mailing addresses which I will send on to Scholastic and pretty soon you will hear the pitter patter of postal feet with parcels of adventure and magic in their arms waiting for you to share with your families.
Oh Joy! Happy 10th Harry Potter!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRIZE PACK GIVEAWAY
6 Witty Comments For Me:
Congratulations to all who won, although I'm sad I didn't! Thanks for the chance anyway!
Ohhh, don't be sad. I was rooting for you too, but I let the kids choose the stories and do the drawing. There's always next time! I have a cool toy maker giveaway coming up that I am sure you'll like. :)
Congratulations to all the winners :)I'll recommend your site to my friends and family members great job very appreciated..keep it up..
Congratulations to all who won! So hard to believe it's been TEN years since the boy with the strange mark on his forehead got millions of kids (and adults!) to discover the magic in books again. And to think the entire series started on paper napkins!
Now that the contest is over, I can tell how I got one copy of HP. I was in a combination drugstore and card shop in South Bend IN, which inexplicably had a standalone revolving wire rack of HP books. Cool - I'd get the latest one to read on the plane back to Kansas. I looked and looked but could only find copies of the two I'd already read. A clerk asked if she could help, I told her what I was looking for. She reached into the rack, into the center which *appeared* to be empty...really!...and when she pulled her hand back out, it held the book I wanted! There was a tiny electric shock when she put in in my hand, and she had the oddest smile. I'll swear to my grave there was a miniature 9 3/4 Platform in the center of that rack, because there's no other explanation.
Congratulations to all the winners..
My best wishes to them....!!!!
Congratulations to all the winners..
