Last month, we told you of a contest that Amazon.com was holding, where you could win a trip for two to London, England, and read the special handwritten copy of “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” by J.K. Rowling. The contest required written entries, and fans can now read and vote on the 20 semi-finalists for this contest. You can read entries from 13-17 age group, here, and read the selections from the 18- and over group via this link.

Voting is for this round is open now until May 11th. On May 13 Amazon will reveal the final two contestants, where voting will run again for one week until the winner is announced on May 22. As a reminder, the “Beedle the Bard” tales were mentioned Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with Amazon the winner of the charity auction of one of the seven hand written Beedle books by J.K. Rowling. Until now, only photos of the book and short summaries have been revealed. You can see photos and read the summaries here via Amazon.
