Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince publishers are looking for the biggest Harry Potter fan to conduct the only UK interview with JK Rowling.

The lucky winner will be among 70 children from around the world invited to Edinburgh Castle to meet the Harry Potter author.

At one minute past midnight on the release date, JK Rowling will read a bit of the book - possibly the part where Dumbledore dies - to a group of children fans. She will also answer questions from the young Harry Potter fans.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for a true Harry Potter fan to meet their heroine and find out the answers to questions that they've always wanted to ask her," a spokeswoman said.

The competition to find the biggest Harry Potter fan is at full speed. Anyone who thinks that they love Harry Potter more than every single other member of the public has to answer these questions...

1) What makes you the ultimate Harry Potter fan? (Please keep it short - no more than 80 words)

2) Write one question you are desperate to ask JK Rowling

3) In one sentence, which parent or guardian would you want to help you with your quest and why?

Then, you should send your answer, along with your name, age, address and contact number to:

Harry Potter Fan
PO Box 54216
London
W14 0SQ
England

Dear adults: Harry Potter competition is for children aged between 8 and 16. Even though you love Harry Potter and already booked a copy at your local store, nevertheless it’s a children’s book, so you can't meet JK Rowling.
