Australian theatre Village Cinemas is offering one lucky Australian Potter fan the oportunity to win an appearance in one of the final Harry Potter films.
To be entered into the contest, Australian fans will simply have to purchase a ticket to this summer's release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince online on Village Cinemas' website and fill in their details on their purchase confirmation page to go into the draw.
The lucky winner will recieve two return economy class airfares to London, England from their nearest Australian capital city, six night's twinshare accommodation in a 4 star property (1 room only) with breakfast included, airport-hotel and studio transfers, Harry Potter on-set experience for two people, and travel insurance for two people.
The set experience will includes an opportunity to visit the film studios in England. The day will begin with a tour of the Harry Potter film sets to demonstrate all the magic that goes into making the films and will include a visit to the art department, costume design, and creature effects. There will also be a visit with many of the real animals that have appeared in the Harry Potter films.
Winners may even have the chance to meet Harry Potter cast members before they head off to makeup and wardrobe. Afterward they will step out on to a set for an exciting filming experience in which they will be directed and filmed in a role as one of the magical framed portrait characters that can be seen in the Harry Potter films.
For more details on the contest, which closes at 12:00am AEST, August 13, you can visit Village Cinemas' website
.
Thanks again to Sarah for the tip!

That is one spectacular prize!!!!
I don't care too much about meeting the actors but to see all of the creative departments would be top on my list.
It would also be great to be forever encapsulated in a moving portrait on the movie.
WHAT A GREAT ADVENTURE!!!
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Grrrrrrrr so annoyed, you have to be a member of the VCM club to do it, and i'm not. And I'm not going to join just for this competition *sigh* because my closest cinema is somewhere that I don't know where it is. SO I can't. Think I'm going to cry.

Sorry to double post, but this I find funny:

It's funny, because its winter here in Australia.. Ok, lame joke.

The competition is with Greater Union not Village Cinemas thankfully as there are not many Village Cinemas around! It's about time we got a competition like this! :)

It's always the Australians... Haha, I'm kidding, but kids from these larger countries get all these amazing opportunities. Then again, it makes sense since they have a larger base to choose from there, eh? Sort of relieving too, that small countries like mine never have these opportunities. I mean, if nothing's happening here, I'm don't have to beat myself up to make sure I try for it! Sounds lazy, but it's true!
