Exclusive chance to report from JK book Festival

CBBC Newsround yet again have another Harry Potter themed competiton, this time for one lucky fan to report from the Edinburgh Book Festival in Scotland, on August 15th. You'll be able to hear JK read parts of OotP, have her answer one of your questions and get a book signed!

All you have to do in return is report on the event for Newsround Online.

The rules are as follows:

Quote:

Remember to try and make your question as original as possible as we going to get loads of entries!

You and your parent/guardian must be free on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 August.

Don't worry about travelling to Edinburgh, we'll sort that out for you.

But Harry up with your entry as this competition closes on Thursday 12 August at midday.

There doesn't seem to be an age limit, although CBBC is aimed at children and so the age line will probably be drawn at 18. They mention nothing concerning nationality so I assume that oversees fans can enter.

Good luck to all who enter!

I'd love to enter... but I seriously doubt my parents would pay for my plane ticket over to Scotland. Sometimes I really hate being an American Harry Potter fan.

Good luck to whoever enters, and if you're interested - I'll pay you to ask what Sirius' birthday and middle are.

I would be so great on a kids channel, I would even ask CBBC to put my name badge as Mad-Eye Kel when doing the report

That would be really funny Kel. SS members would get it, but I don't think your friends would let you live it down...

Don't they realise that us adult fans can be more fun than the kids!! uugghh *still pouting*

As a fifteen year old... I'm resenting that a bit. lol.

Just the once, otherwise it's considered cheating. Which it is....in a way

I don't think they'd pay for international travel, although they must realise they have overseas readers too. I dont know, but I'd say enter anyways, no harm can come of it and you never know your luck.
