To coincide with the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the Today Show is asking
, "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.

:@( Why have you got to be under 13? I think that this website shows that most hp fans are actually 13 or above. Oh well...I could get my sister to enter! I live in the UK though, so I dunno if i could.

No fair!!! I'm 15 *pout*. It would be SO cool to go, though. No offene, but hard core HP fans are usually older, aren't they??
Also it's kinda short notice, isn't it??

That's kind of dumb. There are a number of Harry Potter fans that are over the age of 13. If the Today show does a competition for the fans under 13 then they should do a competition for the fans over 13.

You know I got really excited when I seen the article and then I clicked into it and the under thirteen thing made me cry. I'm very emotional today and this just didn't help.

Under 13? That sounds surprising. I kind of disagree with their age requirement but it's okay. Now, about the Today show I don't watch that much since I'm not that much of an early riser but I'll try to see the winner even though I don't know any that are under 13.

I'm available...but I'm definitely not under 13. Geesh, that's a little young to expect people to be able to pop up in NYC all at once. Of course, that's probably just sour grapes on my part!

Go me, Go me. Doubt I'll get it. **laughs** I mean think of all the little kids that will be entering and half won't be able to come. Did they ask for age? They should because kids under say 8 or so will be like, I dunno clueless and have stage fright when someone more worthy would be able to do it better.

Hey, I live in New York, my dad would do it with me, and I'm fourteen. Just one year later and I could go. Shoot. We should start a petition to raise the age limit.

Age Discrimination!! They always forget us older fans which is really a shame. I think I'm going to email and rant at them for a little bit. :D

Oh, come on! Give me a break! 13 years old or under? Why is it that older fans never get to participate in anything? Is it impossible that maybe one of us IS in fact the biggest fan? It's just SO unfair!

Why are they posting this article anyways. I'm 13, but don't they notice that most of us are not? Do they really want us to feel that bad about our ages?
