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...

What happen to the man of hope and inspiration? For years we had, don’t ask, secretive policies in the White House , now Obama wants to give us more, Bush/Chaney, but from him. He doesn’t believe that ones character, judgement and associations are important enough for the American people to ask questions about. He feels he is above approach. You can slash and burn Hillary , especially by Obama supporters, but no one is to touch him. He is afraid to debate Hillary, afraid questions that he wants hidden may surface again. He is unelectable because of it, the Republican will have a field day with him as the nominee. Its to bad the Democratic party, American voters and the super delegates can’t or won’t see that.

“He is running to change the nature of politics...” yet he and his campaign have used character attacks, misleading ads, disenfrancisement of voters, and two-faced policy flips that are beyond the pale. WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT CHANGE FOR… it is sickening.
Senator Hillary Clinton is superior in every regard, from policies, to compassion, to experience. People love her, respect her and want her to win the nomination. As Maya Angelou says, Hillary is a long distance runner and will RISE.

Check this out before you vote. Obama has never told the truth since he has been running for President.
