A couple weeks ago
we told you that J.K. Rowling would be judging fan interviews. Here's a little more information about that.
I went down to the Harry Potter store
Whimsic Alley on Sunday so my daughter and her friend could videotape their responses to several Harry Potter-related questions, more than half concerning
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The interviews were conducted by Scholastic, and more will take place throughout the country. They will choose the best responses and edit them together into one video, which will then be sent to Rowling for her approval.
The video is being created to promote the
Harry Potter series to young, new readers and is part of Scholastic's publicity push for the 10th anniversary of the release of
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
The video is expected to be online in a couple of months on various websites, including Scholastic, MSN, Whimsic Alley and others yet to be determined.
