The BBC children's program Blue Peter has announced a new contest that will give one lucky kid the opportunity to meet Jo in their studio. To enter, you must be 14 years or younger, submit a question you'd like to ask Jo, and enter a picture of yourself dressed as a witch or wizard.
Good luck to anyone who enters! Thanks to everyone who sent in the details.

Wow!! thats great. i luv Blue Peter
AWESOME!!!! I'm young enough and have the PERFECT question! YES!!!
14?? just 14? Why the heck?? But so niiice that the " news" is rolling in...in a rapid speed. Keep it coming ;).
oh well too old... lol
Awesome!!!
...and then it turns out you had a 0% chance of winning :-D
you know, when i was under 18, all the contests were 18 and older. now its the other way around. thanks a lot, world. ...top 10?
I managed a top 10 whoo hooo ( i dont care about the news)
that woulda been fun
amazing so cool!
That should be cool...too bad I'm 17.
That should be really cool, sounds fantastic! I might enter, as i am under 14! Yes! Thanks Jo!
under 14? i want to meet jk rowling. make an over 18 contest.
oh i am soooooooooo going to enter!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man! What's up with these contests for young kids? What about us older kids?? This seems a little unfair.. after all, we're the ones who grew up with Harry and are J.K.'s biggest fans. *sigh* oh well.
omg this is soooo unfair!!!! why do you always have to be 14 or under??? there are older fans too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
YAAAAY!!!! Im 13!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!! I'm 13 and have a wand which I can use in the pic!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWWWWWWW!!!!!In the rules it says u hav to be in UK.......thas not fair....
Hallooo! Any chance for older fans??? I´m 19 but I love everything about HP and I would like to see actors or J.K.Rowling too! It´s really not fair!
yeah!! i`m 13!! I am so going to enter :D .....now wht 2 ask........
WHY is the entire Harry potter franchise geared towards young kids. The books came out TEN years ago which means all of the original fans are around TWENTY. Sorry it just annoys me how they still gear for a "10-12" year olds (like the movies or like this contest) like they've been doing for the past ten years.
Holy cow, is Blue Peter still on???? That show was on in the 70s!
But I'm 16 and the biggest Harry Potter freak in my school. Why are they counting me out. It's my lifelong dream to meet J.K. Rowling. I've had dreams about it. Don't they know that the think that is so awesome about Harry is that any age can enjoy them, not just little kids. I'd like to give this Blue Peter person a piece of my mind.
WHAT!!!! I turned 15 two weeks ago. That is totally unfair. :(
That would be SOOOOOOOOOO amazing! I am even young enough!
No way!! I looked at the website- only for UK! why is everything always for them??!!! I would do ANYTHING to win that!
HAHAHA! Perfect age AND perfect question!
NOO!! IT'S ONLY OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO MOVING TO BRITAIN SO I CAN ENTER!
noo fair it says u need 2 be in the Uk !! =[ y not open one 4 ppl in america!?? the should
Blue Peter is a British show aimed at children and maybe pre teens. To be perfectly honest, it would look a little bit strange if they got a 21 year old on the show to ask J K Rowling a question. Especially if that person was American, as Blue Peter is very British, people would get really annoyed if that particular competition opened to people outside the UK. There will be contests in America, just give it time. Then you can go all HUZZAH on us. I know I've been really irritated by American contests before, especially around when the GoF film was released! It's all just a bit game of give and take. That said, it really sucks to be 15 right now. XO
NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!! why cant people in the USA enter! i really wanted to enter...
You got me so pumped! I was reading the requirements, and besides the fact that I would be in camp on July 5, I was like, Yes! I might be able to do this! And then I came down to the whole "Have to a resident of the UK..." and my hopes shattered. Oh well. Great oppurtunity for whomever though. Good Luck to all eligible!
I was pumped too dglaney!!!!! I'm not going to camp till the 9th and I was like I CAN GO!!!! And then I read you have to be a resident of the UK... that SUCKS!!!! So any UK kids on here.... good luck.... I wish I could go.
i wish i wasn't over 12 :( but have fun for those who enntterr
i want to meet her. fun!!!!!!!!! :)
why am i 15? dang i would give anything to be 14 right now!
I'm with all of the older kids and over 21 year olds who think it's a bit unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be any "contest" for older fans to get a chance to do any of these fabulous things. Harry Potter isn't just for children....
darn! I'm 14, but im in the US....darn...
AHHH!!!!! I want to go SOO bad!!! Why is it only UK!?!?!?! The US has a larger population and more HP fans, so why can't it also be US!?!?!? I was all excited when I saw that I'm gonna be home on July 5th! Then, I HAD to scroll down and see that it's only available to UK citizens!!!!! I'm 14 in 2 days!!!! It would have been a good "congrats! You're now 14!" birthday present for me! SOOOO unfair!!!! Sorry had to vent all that out. Good luck to all you UK peeps!!!!
gahh i'm too old for this contest and i was too young for the other one!
aw man... i don't live in the UK. darnit!
darn im too old! i hope the person asks really good questions.
I'm 14 but i live in the US :(
darn it. I am Canadian and sixteen. drat.
dont sweat it people. Blue Peter fixes its competitions anyway. My partner's best friend's daughter just happened to be in the studio on the day a comp winner was to be announced and she was told she could have the prize if she accepted it in tv.
Psssh, I wish I was 14 or under.
UK Residents ONLY?? What kind of prejuicided people? I can't believe it! (me being just 14 and everything...)
that's not fair! I just turned 15! AND I'm not british! My life wish is to meet her. Oh well I heard she's going on a vacation with her family to the Galapagos Islands after the book release...I'm planning on flying to the islands and go searching for her...yeah like that would actually happen... my mom wouldn't let me skip school... and i guess she will be surrounded by security guards...... too bad :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
