The winning entry
We got more than 100 entries for our Harry Potter contest, in which we asked young fans to write a short article predicting how the beloved book series would end, but it was 10-year-old Joe Wilson who cast a spell over our judges.
Deathly Hallows - Deathly Indeed
Rita Skeeter reports from an exclusive interview with Harry Potter's own teacher, seer Sybil Trelawney.
In a dramatic resolution to the Harry Potter saga, Draco Malfoy, 17, will turn against his fellows and kill Severus Snape, a former Hogwarts teacher. Harry will duel with a death-eater, while you-know-who sneaks up behind him. The Dark Lord will send a curse at Harry, only to be foiled by the sacrifice of classmate Neville Longbottom, 17. Harry will finish off the death-eater, then vanquish the Dark Lord ... however, a dark future awaits Harry...

Hey Jim,
Enjoy Mt bachelor with the wonderful powder that only the west can offer
As for the granite state primary, I do not think I could have scripted the outcome any more to my personal preference! We americans love a neck and neck race… I think it will cause more people to vote, feeling that their vote may actually make a difference (imagine that). I agree with you jim, I think cliniton’s inch out to the front of the line is to edwards favor and I will tell you why. In watching the NH debates, i could not distinghuish edwards from obama, they were completely symbiotic. It was a love feast between them. If the NH voter chose obama then it would be satement of obama over edwards.
My first reaction to hillary’s “moment” was.. you have got to be kidding me, then I thought this is what happens to people when they are sleep deprived. Although as I listened to her a sencerity came across that she needed to convey. The american voter desperately wants openess and honesty rather then the slick scripted stage performances we have come to expect.
