Just in time for this new month, our September contest is here and ready to be announced. Many of us have dreamed of having our very own Harry Potter room in our home. Now is your opportunity to make that dream a reality with our newest contest, the Harry Potter Themed Decor Contest, which asks you to photograph a room or area in which you live that is decorated in an unmistakable Harry Potter style. Feel free to decorate with any commercially available Harry Potter merchandise or anything of your own creation. Imagination and creativity rule the day! Whether you’d like to create your very own Potions classroom or Hufflepuff Hallway, we’d love to see your work. This contest runs now through October 12th.

As with all of our contests, everyone ageed 13 or older who is not involved in the judging process may submit one original entry. Those interested may submit up to four photographs of the area they have decorated. Please be sure all photographs are in .jpg, .png, or .gif format format and adhere to our PG13 rating. Also, please include a short description of the area or room depicted in the photo. Email all entries to contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org no later than 11:59 pm EST on 12 October 2008, with “HP Decor” in the subject line. More information about this contest can be found right here and in the Contest forum of the Leaky Lounge.

Good luck to all who enter!

Oooh! I just moved into a new house. I’m kind of wishing I had painted the walls of my room house colours. Oh well, maybe I’ll figure something else out.

Can’t wait to see the entries! I’ve often thought about this myself, and have a lot of “Ravenclaw blue” in the house, stacks of books everywhere, candles – but it’s not really decorated in HP style. More. I think, what a Ravenclaw might do living in a Muggle world. I’d love to see some examples of people who’ve really gone all out with the idea.

I am really glad that I am not the only one that ever thought of this. It makes me feel either less like a nerd or more like one, but at least I am not alone in my nerdyness. I kinda want to make my guest bedroom into a Hogwarts dorm, with the curtained bed and tapestries. My husband would kill me if I did it, though if I didn’t tell what I was doing and only did inspired by I might get away with it, but probably not.

Awesome!!!! My room is Potter to the core! I’m so excited! Most of the time, my room scares the crap out of people, and now, I get credit for it! Sweet!

Finally all my hard work will pay off!! I have a wonderful Gryffindor Common Room that I love. I have been laughed at by my family for years. My son LOVES it though. I will be sending soon!!
