As we previously reported, Bloomsbury’s competition for fans in the UK to attend the “Midnight Signing” with author J. K. Rowling has closed and the very, very lucky winners are starting to receive word that they have been selected. Owls have been going out with the great news, so if you’ve applied, be sure to keep a weather eye on your inbox for the prize email. The email being sent out by Bloomsbury contains all the information winners would need to know to accept their prize, and begins as follows:

I was wrong! They’ve actually put June instead of July, how amusing.

Congratulations Wimbly!

Rachel- someone said that Scholastic’s winners would be notified on June 26th I think, but don’t take that as correct =)

What sorta kinda bugs me is that this was only open to people under 21. Being 24 that really killed my hopes. What about the older fans too?

Oh well, I will just go stalk her in NYC come October.
