      SuperSleuth Contest


      Rules:

      • There is a secret code/clue buried in all copies of Wizarding World PressÇ Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter (Analysis of Books 1-4). MuggleNet has a 5-stanza riddle that tells fans how to locate the page where the code/clue is printed in WWPÇs Guide, or how to otherwise view the code if you don't have a copy of the Guide. Approximately every 3 days a new stanza will be posted on MuggleNet in the news until all 5stanzas have been released.

      • The object is to use the hints in the riddle to locate the code/clue and identify the exact code phrase. At a specified time, a form will be made available on the site. The first 200 persons to enter the exact, correct code phrase - one entry per e-mail/IP address - will be entered in a raffle.

      • 1 Grand Prize winner will win a trip for two (2) on the HP Fan Trips tour. The Grand Prize winner must be able to travel to England on the dates of the 3-day trip (see website), or a replacement winner will be chosen from the runner-ups. 5 runner-ups will win their choice of any WWP book (The Plot Thickens... Harry Potter Investigated by Fans for Fans, New Clues to Harry Potter: Book 5, or the Ultimate Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter), or a copy of The Sorcerer's Companion.

      • Participants under the age of 18 will be required to obtain permission from a parent or guardian in order to compete in the contest (this is especially important since the Grand Prize is an overseas trip). Participants outside the US are eligible for a maximum $1000 per person in plane fares.

      • The contest is sponsored by MuggleNet, who is not affiliated with or endorsed by Warner Bros., Scholastic Books, Raincoast Books, or Bloomsbury Publishing. Contest rules and selection of winners are the sole responsibility of MuggleNet, the sponsor of the contest, who has the final decision on all issues. Wizarding World Press will supply the Grand Prize, and those affiliated with MuggleNet, WWP, Beyond Boundaries, or other agents of MuggleNet are not eligible to win.
