Bloomsbury Publishing posted on their Instagram about their House Champion contest, calling fans to celebrate the greatness of their Hogwarts house to mark the 20th anniversary of the original release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They are asking fans to post their favourite photo that shows why you should be dubbed the ‘ultimate House Champion’–beginning this week with Gryffindor House!

Fans are the ones selecting the champion, so make sure you post your best representation of Harry’s house if you hope to be this week’s “Chosen One!”

There are only a few rules: 

First, you have to tag @bloomsburypublishing in your post, and don’t forget to include #HousePride and #ChamberofSecrets.

Unfortunately, it’s only open to UK, ROI, AU and NZ residents, and they ask that you don’t feature any unofficial Harry Potter merchandise.

The winner of this week’s championship receives a beautiful Bloomsbury set of the Gryffindor House edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! Next week Hufflepuff House will have an opportunity to show off their house pride and compete for ‘ultimate House Champion’–followed by the other houses–all as part of the lead-up to the publication of the 20th anniversary House Editions coming to stores June 28, previously reported by Leaky here.

Take a look at the gorgeous House covers below and start plotting your submission for the House Champion contest!

Comment below and tell us if you’re entering–and remember, whether you win or not, you can be the proud owner of your House edition on June 28. And as a bonus, Leaky reported that those who pre-order their copy by June 27 at midnight (GMT) will receive a matching leather bookmark!
