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 does it always have to be under 13?! I think that we should write to them asking... no TELLING then to extend it to a 18!!!! (I'm 17). What do you say?! (haha)

That sounds like it might be fun for all of those who are able to enter. To bad they don't have one for 'older' fans. Good Luck to all those who enter.

Aww, too bad it's only for fans under 13 yrs of age... Also, I don't think I could go to New York if I was chosen. That's literally the opposite side of where I live in the US!!!!

I'm older than thirteen years. So I haven't a chance. But alas if I where it is to expensive and I don't know if I could join. Because I don't live in the United States. But that doesn't matter because I'm to old!

Darn, I missed it by 6 years. Oh well, good luck to the contestants.
Why is it always for people who are 13 years or younger?! What about us OLDER HP fans?!
I know. Maybe over 18, and in California?

Hee hee its hilarious that everyone is older than 13 years when the HP books were origionaly made for children, but it has touched everyone from all ages. I am well over the age of 13 but I would have loved to give it a try. There should be something for the older HP fans. The adults who say HP is for children are the adults who have not read the books. Its a shame how easy people dismiss books just because they are in the childrens section!

Again... under 13... this is completely cutting out the adult readers who make up an equal portion of their fan base...

I don't think I can pass for 13 any more. Somehow, being 5'10 and 30 years old puts you past that stage. *g*
