Cool! I should enter! : )

cool beans!

cool beans!

awsome! but I want 3rd prize more than anything else.....

I like the second prize the best. =D

Haha, this should be fun to watch...I probably won't enter, though :p

AWESOME!! I might enter!!

Cool!

Wow, this sounds like a lot of fun! I think it'd be cool to enter, but I'm sure that there are people out there with more professional film stuff than me. I just make videos w/ friends for fun, and the quality isn't the best. Good luck to entrants!

Top 10?

Oooo, that's pretty cool.

Cool! Good luck to the entrants!

Ooh, this is great! I won't be submitting anything, but I'll definitely participate by watching all the finalists' videos. (:

Ooh, I wish this wasn't happening during exam time! Oh well, I'm going to try to do my best on it anyway. Does anyone know if we are allowed to use Warner Brothers music from the HP movies?

I think I'm going to skip school tomorrow to start writing the script...and I think I'll stay up tonight re-reading the books to pick a scene... This is gonna be AWESOME!

MESSAGE FROM MAGICAL TOURS: DO NOT use Warner Brothers music in the video production. We'll all get into hot water! Instead look for Harry Potter-ish music that will make your video more original.

Good! I was hoping we wouldn't be allowed to use their music. Now we have full reign to be as creative and innovative as we can be! Good luck everyone!

I just got an awesome new video camera (complete with all the equipment and editing software) for my b-day on wednesday! Perfect oppertunity to start using it all!!! Totally gonna enter

Good luck to those who enter! : )

I wish there was more time to do these. Like, another week or two. xD

this is so great, I can't wait to see what people come up with.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS LOOKING FOR A WOMAN FROM THE AFI'S! Earlier last year, Dan attended the AFI (Australian Film Institute) awards in Melbourne, Australia. The awards were presented at the Melbourne Exhibition centre... Dan presented an award for humour, and lately he has revealed that he was staring at a girl the whole time, who stared intently back at him. He's now LOOKING FOR HER!! I don't know the full details, but Rove has been totally taking the micky out of Dan on his show (Rove is a television show hosted on Ch. 10 in Australia, hosted by comedian Rove McManus). Apparently, Dan is speaking to ALL of the Australian press, and asking for help to find his, as Rove says... "MYSTERIOUS WOMAN." Lol that is sooooo funny.

TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON ROVE WHICH TALKS ABOUT "DAN AND HIS MYSTERY WOMAN," GO TO: http://www.rovedaily.com. au/video.htm. ONCE THE PAGE HAS LOADED, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE WEBSITE, YOU WILL SEE A BAR CALLED 'Home' WITH A VERTICAL LIST OF THINGS (eg, some of the listed things are - 'Help Me Hughesy!' and 'Roves Monologue'). CLICK ON 'Petespace.' Then watch the video!! It's basically Peter Hellia talking about Dan and his mystery woman, etc etc. It's SOOO FUNNY!

Can I enter from Australia or is it just for the USA?

It look pretty much awesome!! I think i'm gonna take part

Can i enter from Algeria?

Cool! Just two questions: Can we enter from outside the US? and does it have to be real people acting? I mean, can it be an animation, or puppets, or anything else? Thanks, and good luck to everyone who enters!

I predict an overwhelming amount of delusional fans trying to "finally make a scene of how it SHOULD have been". Harry and Hermione shippers ahead! NOOOOO!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! :O

MESSAGE FROM MAGICAL TOURS: The contest is open to anyone, all ages, and from any country! If your language isn't English, you may use sub-titles. You are free to use whatever suits you for your production: live animation, puppets, thumb puppets, toe puppets, cut-outs (like South Park), a live theater troupe, or a Scout troop. You are free to make it a ballet, opera, mime, or Kabuki. Your actors may be any age from little kids to old age pensioners. And a quick note to hpintwense06: don't underrate your work! You may just do videos with your friends for fun, but we might think they're really good. Go for it!

Dude, if you want them to be good you should give people more than 12 days during the school year. I directed the Grimmauld Project and I'd totally be all over this if I actually had time to organize my group and edit it.

those prizes rock!

You see Nimbuschick, we're paying attention! MuggleNet has extended the dates as follows: Video submissions by midnight May 21st; voting on MuggleNet May 22nd - 24th at midnight; winners announced May 25th. Just like magic...

WWHHHOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!! T

oooh! i wont enter b/c this isnt really my area of talent, but i cant wait to watch these!!

omg, i can't wait to watch these! harry potter videos made by fans are awesome! yay! xD

yeah, there are some formatting issues that need to be cleared up. If possible, I want to do a a series of narrated sequential images much like a storyboard. I also agree that prizes one and three are made of win, two not so much.

THANK YOU for changing the date! Hopefully, now, I'll be able to make something worth watching. And since everyone else seems to have commented about the prizes, here's my two cents: First Prize - very cool, Second Prize - Awesome!, Third Prize - Awesome! See you on the tiny screen, everybody!

yay more time! I wrote a rough draft today and I'm going to seriously work on it this weekend. Hopefully I will be filming by this time next week. How great is this contest? oh and phoenix_knight, how did I ruin your life exactly?

Whoa, all the prizes are so ... out there! ;) They're really nice and totally awesome. I can't wait to see what people do with this . =) It might be interesting to watch.

can it be a scene you made up that takes place right after the books ended?

Cool! Good luck if you enter! : )

Honestly, I think the 2nd/3rd prizes are much cooler than 1st place prizes. xD

ANSWERS TO CONTEST QUESTIONS: To EverettChronos - your "storyboard" approach is certainly within the guidelines. There is no requirement for the video to consist of characters in motion. The entire video may be a dramatic reading by one person or a cardboard cut-out if that's the choice of the film maker. To secrets_and_magic - as long as you can set up the scene to connect to the overall story and provide reasonable context, your scene does not actually have to take place within the pages of the books. It may be a "back story" that explains one or more events in the book(s), or a "post script" which describes events that you feel need expansion or were never mentioned. To Everyone: Try not to get caught up in a thousand "what-ifs". Follow the guidelines furnished regarding content, and you'll be fine. Mainly, BE CREATIVE. If it's not prohibited in the rules (eg. profanity, etc.) you'll be OK. If you think there won't be controversial plot issues in these fan-produced videos, you'd better think again! M-T

sorry J_Dizzle, ignore that, my mistake

Yeah 2nd prize rocks
