Scholastic’s J.K. Rowling and the Open Book Tour Sweepstakes begins today. The 1,000 randomly chosen winners will each receive a pair of tickets for a special evening with J.K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall in New York City on 19 October. At the event, Rowling will read from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, answer questions about the entire series, and sign copies of the final book.
To enter the sweepstakes, print out, complete, and send in the entry form available at www.scholastic.com/harrypotter—or print your name, home address, and phone number on a sheet of paper—and mail your the entry to:
