I, like so many, have enjoyed this series of books and movies, but I am not the ultimate fan, that would have to be my niece, Kaira. Hands down, no questions asked, that girl loves Harry Potter and everything surrounding him. If there was one person I know would truly cherish and appreciate the prizes in this contest it is her. It is impossible to count the number of times she has read the books, listened to the books, watched the films or drooled over the posters. She was first introduced to the wizarding world when her mom started reading the books to her when she was young. She was too young to see the first film in the theatre, her mom was worried about how she would react to the crumbling Professor Quirrell. Now at age 15, if she has a love in her life it would be Harry Potter. She has dedicated more time, energy, and worry to this franchise than anything else in her entire life. As the final installment approaches, those of us around her have learned to quickly cover our ears because everything Harry causes her to squeal with delight and excitement of anticipation. Her parents subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, and last week when the double issue dedicated to all things Harry Potter showed up in their mail the whole family had to suffer through several hours of squeaks and squeals as she delved into and soon engulfed each new article, detail and tidbit. Winning this contest would mean so much to her and I hope you will consider her love of all things Harry when making your decision. I, her aunt Melody, can be reached at melody@scarlettoad.com.
