| | |  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.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

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. |

too bad Amazon.ca isn't doing that (or just not doing it in Canada).
My town still probably wouldn't win, but either way 
That's pretty sweet that Amazon is doing this tho!
-just wishes they'd do it in Canada as well instead of just U.S-
I USED to live in a neighbouring town of one of the Top 10 (well not neighbouring, but the same State. I think it was a few hrs away tho...)
