Harry Potter Quiz: Win 30 euros at Amazon

Harry by Ben, 7

The Barcelona Review presents the

Harry Potter
Quiz

TBR truly hopes that with its wide-ranging eclectic readership no one is asking the question "Harry Potter? In a TBR literary quiz?" The Harry Potter books may be many things to many people but one thing above all is that they, and the author J.K. Rowling, should be applauded for introducing millions to the extraordinary world of the printed word. She has set young minds working, given heart to a flagging industry, and hope and motivation for many a struggling writer. So for our 50th issue, please raise your glasses to J.K Rowling.

Harry by Amariah, 9

The quiz and drawings were done by predominantly pre- and early teen muggles. No wizards—computer or otherwise—were used. Spells to help win the 30-euros gift certificate from Amazon are freely available on the Wizard Wide Web but a good knowledge of the Potter books and a deft use of Google are the safest way to go —we would hate to send the prize to a very puzzled toad!

Deadline: December 31, 2005. In case of a tie, a name will be drawn.
