Well, not really Harry, but his creator J.K. Rowling. Scholastic, the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter books is sponsoring an essay contest for kids between the ages of eight and 17. The five winners and their chaperones will win a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, to attend an exclusive event at the National Library of Scotland. (See below for a picture of me at the library.) As part of the event the children will get to have tea with Rowling on December 4 where she will read from her new book Beedle the Bard and answer questions. All entries must be received by 5 p.m. EST on October 30. For more information check the Scholastic website.
