BACKGROUND: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is my favourite of the Harry Potter series. Recently I have acquired another copy of the British (Australian) version of it, and as I already have both a children's and adult's copy of it, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to create a contest with the book at the prize! There are so many fantastic and talented Harry Potter fans out there, so I'm opening this up to anyone who wants to enter.
