Amazon Contest Offers A Chance To Spend Some Time With One Of The Seven-Of-A-Kind Book The Tales of Beedle the Bard
It caused
quite a stir around here when Amazon bought it for not one, but
two big boxes of galleons. Now Amazon is offering a chance to
spend some quality time with its copy of the artificially rare
The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
Here's the nutshell version: They're offering a trip to London for you and your very closest friend (win it and see just how many of
those you never knew you had!) to spend "a weekend" with the book and its personal security retinue. Oh, yeah, and a nice pair of white gloves each.
The contest is open to residents of twenty-four countries (dunno which ones), aged thirteen and up. It's an essay contest, and the specified topics are:
- What songs do wizards use to celebrate birthdays?
- What sports do wizards play besides Quidditch?
- What have you learned from the Harry Potter series that you use in everyday life?
Full details are available
here, along with a list of
FAQs and the
official rules.
If anyone here wins it, we
will be expecting a
full report.
No word at this time on whether you get to keep the gloves.
