As previously reported, the winner of Warner Bros' Harry Potter DVD sweepstakes will have a walk-on role in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The Naples Daily News has this update
:
At first, Jeannie Van Buskirk wouldn't let her son T.J. watch any Harry Potter movies. Now he will be in one. T.J. Van Buskirk, 9, of Redding, Calif., won a trip to England for a walk-on role in the third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
In August, T.J., his parents and his two sisters Shae, 8 and Kaitlyn, 5, will spend seven days and six nights in London during the filming of third Harry Potter movie. "His face will actually be in the actual film. That will be really cool," mother Jeannie Van Buskirk said.
T.J., who has only traveled as far as Oregon, said he can't wait to see Stonehenge when he visits England. The prize also includes $3,000. Most of the money will be spent during the trip, T.J.'s parents said. But T.J. will get to spend some of it.

Argh! I'm so jealous, but I am from California too so at least we have representation in the film LOL. I'm sure he will be an extra. It says we'll see his face so he might sit next to Harry or Ron in class or something.

HpFrEaK.. I'm pretty sure he just has a walk on or "extra" role.. like someone else said, they do still want a complete british cast.. but with all the publicity Harry Potter is getting now, there is no doubt that there are going to be contests like this. And wangoballwime, his mom probably didn't want him seeing the movie because of the "witchcraft" people say is involved. I know 3 of my friends parents don't want them watching the movies for religious purposes. Personally, I would love to be in this kids shoes! It's a great oppotunity and I'm pretty jealous myself!

"I originally was never going to let them watch Harry Potter," Jeannie Van Buskirk said. "My mom talked me in to it." Good for Grandma. After watching it she found that it was a good movie. Good that the whole family gets to go. What an experience! Seven days and six nights in London, what a great prize. I’m glad he won, since it’s his dream to be an actor.
