The Wausau Daily Herald is running a competition from March to the release of HBP in July, where fans can win a copy of the book which they will receive for free, when it is released.
All they want you to do is to tell them which is your favourite character from the Potter series and why in under 250 words.
You also need to submit your name, age, residence and your email address or phone number.

^^ Love ur siggy! I've only seen that movie like twice, and the first time was when I was only like 5 or something. I still remember it though. Labyrinth...
Anyway, I would love to do the contest, but I'm not up to it. I don't have time to write essays. Besides, I think I'm too old to do that anyway. Is there an age limit on who can join?

Hmm.. maybe I should try writing a paragraph..but I'm not that good of a writer, and with exams coming up, I dont think I'll have the time. Eh, I'll just go and buy the book when it comes out.

I sent in my try! I've already ordered one, but I lent my OoP book to some relatives over the summer, and I haven't gotten it back yet, so two copies is a very good thing!

Heh heh! I like what they're calling the contest.
Maybe I'll give it a shot -- providing I can decide which character is my favorite. Harry? Hermione? McGonagall? But I don't like the fact that they're drawing names after making us go to all that trouble of writing a paragraph.
