y did she have to kill moody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o check out my site! www.mkgonagall.wor dpress.com www.hp7bookclub.wordpre ss.com

yay, im entering, i live right near NY yay! i love jo, if i won that would be like the happiest thing thats ever happened to me! oh and by the way, give me ur opinion, but, i have just been listening to the new rock version of "Time After Time" by QueitDrive, and it reminds me of the whole Harry-Ginny thing in book seven. it would be cool if they put it in the seventh movie at either the scene where harry and ginny are like missing each other (and harrys basically using the marauders map to stalk her) or if they show harrys wedding scene (or even when ron and hermione are dancing, about their relationship)........man, i almost cry listening to it.

OMG thats on my birthday!!! HOLY COW! I hope I win!! :D :D

I can't get it either and I don't feel like mailing one so I'll just "check back on July 30th" ! Hope I win (even though it probably won't happen!) I'm sorry! I'll stop being so pessimistic! Oh and np347 go get a life and stop bothering us!

Everyone: quick, go back to the topic "Your Deathly Hallows Reactions", open to the last comment page, and save it as a favorite, so we can all continue to comment even if the topic scrolls off Mugglenet's homepage. So far as of July 27 we have 10,400 comments. Keep our Deathly Hallows thoughts going until we can no longer think about it (which would be never?)

Hi guys, it is awsome, I live in Mexico, do you guys think that if I pay my trip to the US I could enter the Sweepstakes? and is this one also going to be for younger than 21? or can be older? I did not find the rules for this new Sweepstake, anyone knows where it is?

Looks like they're running out of pictures of Jo... they're starting to repeat.

I know this has nothing to do with the news, but if today is July 27th, isn't it Jessica Rowling's 14th birthday. Anyways HAPPY BITHDAY JESSICA. Hope it was a terrific one. She's only 8 days older than me! :)

Oh, thats so cool! Good Luck to whoever enters!

FIRST!

To clarify, yes, the form will not appear on the website until the 30th. "Scholastic will launch the J.K. Rowling Open Book Tour Sweepstakes on July 30, 2007. Visit www.scholastic.com/harryp otter beginning July 30 for information on how to enter and complete rules." Source: http://www.scholastic.com /aboutscholastic/news/pre ss_06142007_CP.htm Mug glenet staff - Might want to clarify this on the main page.

Oh man! I know the chances are really slim, but it would be an amazing experience. I am getting giddy just thinking about it. :D

OMG!!! I live in brooklyn so it's so close to carnegie hall!!!! hope i win!!!!

It's been a week now since DH was out. This time last week some of us were done the book and some of us were close.

I could not find the form. Scholastic should organize their site. I have no chance of winning, but it would be nice.

MUGGLECAST WAS AWESOME LAST NIGHT IN ST LOUIS

Another one in America? Ach, how about Scotland??? LOL! I know, I know, I've read people saying how lucky to live in Edinburgh and we can see her all the time but we don't really. Someone else from Edinburgh has claimed on another thread to 'meet her all the time' (yeh right), it's just not true. I'd love to meet Jo. I live in the same blinkin' area as her and I've never met her!!! Seen her from afar yes but never met her. Had a good gossip about her office (- sorry Jo) with the electrician who put in my burglar alarms who did some work for her and yet still I've never actually met her. I suppose I've got more chance than some though...but what would I say as we reached for the same pack of tomatoes in the supermarket...? It's a shame fans all over the world can't get real chances to meet Jo but can you imagine how exhausted she would be? I mean, there are MILLIONS of us!!! Good luck everyone if you enter, it will be such a thrill.

to the guy who keeps referring to sticking a gun to your head? Dont you realize that you dont bother any of us? You ramble on and on, and personally I just sit back and laugh, and continue on with the best website ever created, and smile away, becasue im happy, and im sure every other person on this site right now is happy, and you....you....well, I dont think your happy. sorry for you :o) now if you dont mind, im going to enter my contest and hope to win! Good luck guys

It would be so amazing, but there is such a slim chance of getting picked. and np374- hae you even bothered to read HP, you are such an idiot! Good Luck

Grrrr i can't wiat to enter online, especially because i live not to far from where it is. If only there was the teeniest chance of my winning

I'm thinking the entry form should be up on the website on the 30th? so i'm gonna try again monday

beaker : I'm a mom, 33, I will sign up with my own name. Greta: if carnaige capacity is 2.800, and they will give away a pair of 1000, there will be aroud 2.000 people, quite a crowd. really wish to be part of the crowd :D

Greta, if you have already seen JKR then don't enter and give other people like us a better chance! I really wish I could go, but i would have to bring a parent along so we would have to win 2 tick ets and that is not happening.

hey has anyone else noticed that Harry and Voldemort are actually related........Marvolo Gaunt marvels the ring because it comes from his ancestors the Perevells and Harry has the cloak because it's passed from father to son until it reaches Harry.....both come from the Perevells so truly Harry really is the Heir of Slytherin as well as Voldemort......they're like distant cousins I guess.

I cant find the entry form in scholastic!!!!!!

hey for all those people wondering how Ron opened up the Chamber of Secrets.....You remember right how Ginny opened it up through the Diary which had a piece of Voldemort's soul in it which allowed her to open it.......I guess nobody except me and a few others realized that Ron also had Hufflepuff's Cup with him which also has a piece of Voldemort's soul in it and that I think allowed him to enter the Chamber of Secrets....not all of the hissing but the fact that he had the Heir of Slytherin's soul with him.

Come to New Zealand Jo!!!! Pleeease

no, he open the COS by imitating harry's parseltongue when he asked the locket to open

great! - I would love to come, but I live in Denmark :P

oh me and my friend are so signing up..question does anyone know how you get the tickets? like will they be mailed or will we have to go there to get them??

The form should be on the Schlastic website on the 30th. This is from the website: "J.K. Rowling and the Open Book Tour Sweepstakes! Check back for more information on July 30". Whatever the odds, I'm gonna give it a go!

Can someone tell me exactly how to get to the sweepstakes page...there is way too much going on on the website. Thanks!

It's 12:23!!! It's technically monday!!!! I want to find the form!!!

OK, so where EXACTLY can we find the form on scholastic's website???? Thanks

Can't find the form anywhere? What am I doing wrong?

It is the 30th and I can't find the form. Please help me!!!

Has anyone found the form yet????

I have been searching high and low for that form and have had no luck. Even typing in the search field gives me no results. Ugghh. Help!

I just called Scholastic. The form is not available on the site yet, but no one I talked to knows why. They said they were going to "contact the NY office and notify them of the problem." They also told me it would be up sometime today - so keep checking back under the Events/sweepstakes category on their site.

Potterwatch07-thanks for the info. I have been going nuts thinking that I was doing something wrong. Good luck to everyone who enters!

thanx Potterwatch07 i was so confused. I really wanna win!

Thanks Potterwatch! Big Help!

Thank You Potterwatch, you saved us all a lot of grief searching and researching AGAIN :)

Thanks SO much Potterwatch! I was going all ove rthe site and couldn't find it, I was just hoping it WASN'T working so I wouldnt just be mising the deadline!! I seriosuly want to go, of course I'd need to find a way to GET to New York, me living in South Carolina. Or do plane tickets come with it? Anyone know?

Hey, guys, the forms up! I don't know that any of you will know or care to answer, but it says that if you're under 18 your parent has to be your guest, but by the time October rolls around I will have turned 18 - should I put my age as 18, since that's what I'll be for the event? Because I would much rather not bring my mom or dad as they wouldn't enjoy it much and I have much more deserving friends. Just wondering if you guys have any thoughts... thanks!

Um, I THINK you're looking at a different sweepstakes, because it's still saying to check in on the 30th for me... I think the one you're looking at is the sweepstakes that took place the 21st (?)

OMG, I went, found the Form, closed it in my stupidity as I ha dtpo go eat dinner, and when I came back and logged onto the site it was GONE. It just told me to check back on the 30th which is TODAY. GRRRRRRRR I am so upset:( What is going on with Scholastic.com???
