That's cool! So the contest doesn't actually start until March 1st? I can't tell if the Sorcerer's Stone stuff is already available for download or not? Where are the rules and regulations for this contest? Ok, after reading the press release it says that the wallpaper and poster are available for download which is what I'm looking at now. So the sweepstakes must open up something new on march 1st. I can't wait, but it seems that who ever wins will be very lucky considering how many fans there are out there.

Oooooooooh! I want that iPod so much! My cousin owns that one and it holds 7000 songs or something. Also, he's watched an episode of Lost on his iPod to see what it looks like on the small screen. He says it's good for traveling.

I want to get that i-pod!!!!! I need one. I totally need that i-pod. But, I am glad that the paperback is coming out soon. I allready have the hardcover, but the paperback will be good for the people who couldn't afford the hardcover.
