Harry Potter Contest Winners: Most Humorous: Libitina, 1st place: "With Voldemort dead and a questionable future lying in front of him, Harry Potter grimaced as he looked down at his wrist and realized his problems would never end, despite his efforts--for the result of all his wand-flicking was there staring at him: a carpal tunnel surgery scar." Honorable Mention: BSam and It Who Must Not Be Named (J) Closest to Actual: Sixteen, 1st place: "Looking around at Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the rest of his friends who he valued now more than ever, Harry was brought once more to touch his forehead in the place that, to him, symbolised the greatest amount of love anyone could feel; his lightning-bolt scar." (Chosen because 1- Harry still has his scar, 2- Harry touches his scar, 3- The other 3 friends are still alive and close to Harry.) Honorable Mention: Cybermystery and Liz Hollow Contratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who entered! It was a fun contest. Sixteen and Libitina, please PM me your mailing addresses, and I will send your prizes forthwith! Gigi is also making bannners for you, for gloating purposes.

I was really happy that Link posted the actual last two sentences of the book four days before it was released.
I have a lot of other things to say to him, but I don't want to get a strike.

Warning to Wizz for profanity.

Well, at least you took your punishment like a man; unlike Link, who deserved torture punishment that he didn't get.
