Previously we told you that Bloomsbury was holding a competition for lucky fans in the UK to hear author J.K. Rowling read from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at the midnight release of the novel in July. The competition is now closed. However, please note similar competitions being held by Scholastic, Raincoast and Allen & Unwin in Australia for fans to attend this midnight reading in London are still ongoing, but are due to close soon. Winners of the UK portion of this contest will be notified by June 18.
As a reminder, this contest is for a total of 1,700 fans to meet JKR and get her autograph on your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 500 of these lucky fans will get to hear Jo read from the last Harry Potter novel at midnight in the Natural History Museum in London, England.

Professor Potter Yep, good luck to everyone. Additional criteria to the winner is you MUST tell us all about the experience! Thats mandatory ;) I know I will if I win. I think this prize beats anything material including a 60" LCD TV with full surround speakers etc!! What can be better than an experience you wont forget? Oh apart from reading Deathly Hallows.....!

Naria Wait, does that mean that the competition is no longer taking people, or that Bloomsbury is canceling the competition?

Elizabeth The Allen and Unwin site for Australia hasn't got any details up about the contest!! It says "A further announcement will be made in coming weeks". If the contest is actually currently running could you please let me know via email or edit the post? That would be much appreciated. Thanks!
