| | | Amazon HP Kids Panel announced
Amazon recently held a contest to compile a Hary Potter Kids Review panel. The winners have now been announced. They are: Quote:
*Kaitlin Bennett, age 13, from Houston, Texas. Kaitlin thinks the novels really shine when Harry and his friends do pure, selfless acts to protect one another.
*Emily Collier, age 17, from Orange County, California. In the blink of an eye Emily can tell you how many stairs there are in Hogwarts and who the oldest Weasley family member is.
*Priya Farooq, age 15, from Westchester County, New York. Priya loved the explosion of emotion in the Shrieking Shack when Peter Pettigrew was confronted.
*Chelsea Guy, age 13, from Knoxville, Tennessee. Chelsea loves the Harry Potter series because it proves that when boys put their minds to it they really can accomplish things.
*Ben Johnson, age 16, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Ben believes that Sirius will play a role in Book 6, although he may not be alive, as will Pettigrew, who was conspicuously absent in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
*Aspen Ott, age 14, from Mesa, Arizona. Aspen is convinced that Harry should date Luna in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
*Rachel Purdom, age 10, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rachel has read all the Harry Potter books at least 10 times each and claims she can mentally scan them in her head to answer any Harry Potter question.
*Taylor Swaney, age 12, from Liberty, North Carolina. Taylor hopes that, in Book 6, Draco will come to need Harry, and that Harry will come to his rescue.
*Aliyah Weinstein, age 14, from Camden, New Jersey. Aliyah has her own Harry Potter theories Web site and is also the coeditor of a very popular Harry Potter Web site.
*Kendall Westbrook, age 11, from Dallas, Texas. Kendall loves Harry Potter books because they are "complicated, yet, so obvious" and are filled with suspense, humor, sorrow, and action.
Their video competition entries can be viewed on this page.

Cool! Congrats!
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Nice mixture of winners. I'll watch their videos later. Quote:
who the oldest Weasley family member is
Does she mean Arthur Weasley, or is it someone like Molly's brother? | |

They look like they have brought in a good slection of panel members and havent left out people just cause they are beyond a certain age catagory unlike some events I can think of. *cough* At least Amazon recognise that Harry Potter aint only for kids of 8 or 9 and that the teenagers are the true fans. Not that I'm saying that adults are not true fans either. I'll defend any adults out there too.

You mean why not .co.uk too? Good question. But it'd be under 18 year olds anyway.
