| | |  Is your town potty for Potter?
Amazon is running a competition wherein they will donate a $5,000 gift certificate to whichever American town is most potty about Potter. They will measure this according to which town has collectively the most pre-orders for Deathly Hallows through their website. The gift certificate will be presented to a charitable organisation which serves the winning town.
The top ten towns at the moment are; Quote:
1. Falls Church, VA
2. Fairfax, VA
3. Gig Harbor, WA
4. Vienna, VA
5. Katy, TX
6. Media, PA
7. Issaquah, WA
8. Doylestown, PA
9. Pembroke Pines, FL
10. Snohomish, WA
Quote:
The company will use the most recent U.S. Census data and include all U.S. towns and cities with a population of more than 5,000 people. The winning town will be announced shortly after the deadline of 11:59 p.m. PDT on July 15, 2007.
The list will be updated weekly. Quote:
Our search for the 'Harry-est Town' is a fun way for us to acknowledge the town with the greatest Harry Potter following and benefit a charity that serves their local community.

What a neat idea! I used to live in Northern Virginia, and the cities there are doing quite well. California doesn't seem to be faring that great at this point, but we will see. Interesting!

^ That's because this is for American towns. I think they should do it at Amazon.co.uk too.
