The deadline approaches to enter our “International Harry Potter Day” contest!

by Keith Hawk · May 1, 2012

We are down to the final days for you to enter our latest contest: The ‘International Harry Potter Day’ CosPlay contest. We at MuggleNet, and many fans around the world, consider May 2 to be one of the most significant days in Harry Potter history; the day the Dark Lord was finally defeated during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. Therefore, we continue to push for this day to become known as ‘International Harry Potter Day.’

And to mark this day, we are encouraging fans to go out in the community dressed as your favorite witch, wizard or creature from the series… and of course capture it via photo! We know the Harry Potter fandom has some of the brightest and creative minds around, and we’re looking for unique, standout material… so show us what you’ve got!

You can submit your entries to mugglenetevents@gmail.com. We’ll put the top 15 (as determined by our staff) up for voting and the top 3 vote-getters will be rewarded!

The Top 3 winners will receive the following:

  • First Place: A Kymera Remote Control Wand from The Wand Company
  • Second Place: A Special gift from Alivan’s Wand Company
  • Third Place: The Harry Potter Lego: Years 5-7 Video Game for PS-3 from TT Games

Please submit your entry no later than May 3 at 11:59 ET. Voting will be open from May 5 through May 12. Best of luck to all who enter and most importantly, have fun!

Special thanks to The Wand Company, Alivan’s, and TT Games who provided the prizes for this contest!

HURRY! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
