To coincide with the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the Today Show is askingopens in new window, "Are you the BIGGEST Harry Potter fan?"

Well if you think you are and are under the age of 13 you may enter Today's Harry Potter Total Trivia Tournament. You will need to tell the Today Show in 50 words or less why you think you deserve to participate in the trivia tournament.

According to the site:

Hey all you muggles out there. Are you the BIGGEST Harry Potter fan? Do you think you have what it takes to be in Today's Harry Potter Total Trivia Tournament? This is no Triwizard tournament with dragons, eggs or mazes, but a test nonetheless. Well if you are under the age of 13 and have a parent willing to be your partner, then tell us in 50 words or less why you think you deserve to hold court on the plaza and vie for the crown to be the Harry Potter Total Trivia Tournament Champion. Include your name and contact number where we can best reach you. You must be available to come to New York City for the contest on Thursday, July 14th. Will our Goblet of Fire choose you?

Good luck to all who enter & if by chance you know of any who is chosen please let us know.

Thanks to everyone who let us know.

I think this is a great opportunity for a young person.
It would be so neat to go to New York for an event like this.
If only I was a kid again I would be trying my hardest to go.

Well, this is really nice for the kids, but why under 13? These books really aren't for little kids. They aren't for the 11 year olds so much anymore, because Harry has grown up! People just don't get that, they just assume it's a little kid thing. Ugh - ignorance is annoying.

How was it the Fred and George made themselves seem older? Maybe it would work to make someone look younger. AAAh I've got too many years to hide, though. Oh well. Hope one of you who are 13 or under wins!

Okay, I find this to be ironic since this is a site for people over the age of thirteen, right? However, I suppose parents can tell their children about it and get them involved in the contest. Right now my daughter isn't yet two years' old, so it's doesn't mean much to us, but it does sound very exciting.

Just thought the 13 yr. thing was funny.

Under the age of 13?? How odd is that - we all know that the HPANA'ers are the biggest Harry Potter fans, and we're all over 13 years..

How extremely odd.

They should have a contest for all of us over 13! Well, I might have to be in a contest for fans over 18, but still! I would think most fans are over the age of 13 anyway...oh well.
