Countdown to Harry Potter 7:2 - Giveaway!

-
While we're busy waiting for the much anticipated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, I thought it would be fun to have a little giveaway. I've never done one before on this blog, and it won't be the last one. So it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

The Prize
It's a Harry Potter theme and seeing as how I make wands as a hobby ... it's a wand!

Hawthorn Wand 10 - 01
That's right, you can Accio one of these!
(Not necessarily this particular one, it's just to give you an idea.)

Wood, decoration, length and diametre is up to you. You can pick which ever one you prefer (except the alder ones with beaded handles) from the Thornfield Handcrafted Wands shop, and I'll send to you if you're the lucky winner. :)

All wands are all hand-made (cut, carved, sanded, decorated and oiled) from 100% solid wood, sourced from Nottingham (West Bridgford), Derby (Wilmorton) or Sweden (Bohuslän/Västra Götaland).

The Small Print
This giveaway is open worldwide, EXCEPT for Australia and New Zealand. I know there's lots of Potter love Down Under too, but your strict import laws makes it impossible to ship wood products there, unfortunately. Sorry! :( Any potential import duties, taxes, customs charges and so on incurred are to be paid by the winner. (Won't apply within the EU and as far as I'm aware won't apply anywhere else either, but just in case.) The winner will be chosen through a random number generator.

How to Enter
Enter by commenting on this post answering the following question: Which ONE spell from Harry Potter would you most like to be able to perform and why?

Giveaway closes on 7 July 2011. Winner will be chosen and contacted and with a bit of luck, has responded with an address so I can send the wand on 8th or 9th, hopefully in time for the premiere on the 15th.

Remember, I need to be able to contact you and get your postal address if you win, so if you're not on Facebook, Etsy, Twitter or any other way of getting in touch, it will be hard to let you know you've won, and so on.

Good luck! :)

    I would like to being able to perform the imperio curse. In my opinion it's the most powerful spell. You can do both good and bad. With the killing curse you can only kill people. Of course I would to my best to bring world peace and end starvation. ;)

    I would like to be able to perform the Patronus charm. First of all I would REALLY like to know what animal it takes the form of (I'm hoping it's an owl), and it would also be really cool to have a little guardian of happiness to protect me :)

    Maybe it's a bit boring, but I have to say Accio. The thing is that I loose things all the time and I would save so much time if I just could pick up my wand, say 'Accio!' and then just catch my keys, book, pen, or whatever I need. It just would be so extremely useful and I actually miss that spell every day.

    I'm gonna go with Accio on this one. Sometimes I can be really lazy and it's very useful when I can't find something.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
