Daphne Maia's Mobile Blog http://www.daphnemaia.mobi Snapshots on the go! posterous.com Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:32:00 -0700 Winners of the Harry Potter Hogwarts Sorting Hat! http://www.daphnemaia.mobi/winners-of-the-harry-potter-hogwarts-sorting http://www.daphnemaia.mobi/winners-of-the-harry-potter-hogwarts-sorting
Last week, for one of the Harry Potter Giveaways (for the Hogwarts Sorting Hats), I asked blog readers to answer this question: 

What is the company that has sponsored my trip to London to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? 
For the winners selection, I entered all those who had answered the question correctly into a random draw. I used this website, to randomize the selection, and the draw was only done once.

Watch the video clip to find out who won! :) (You may have to download the small clip to see the winners' names clearly. Sorry about that!)

The answer to the question is: Helena Bonham Carter! (She acted as Bellatrix Lestrange, btw)

Congrats to the 2 winners! I will be emailing you soon! :)

BTW, I allowed all who answered with any of the following to enter the winners random draw: Hotmail / Microsoft / Windows Live

Oddly, quite a lot of people said that the trip was sponsored by Warner Bros! 

Congrats to the 2 winners! I will be emailing you soon! :)

Harry_potter_t-shirts

 

You might remember that last week I launched a blog giveaway contest for 2x Harry Potter T-shirts!

And...

The 2 winners are... *drum rolls*

Diana and Sook!

Read their answers to the question "Expecto Patronum! What should be the form of your patronus, and why?"

Diana says: My patronus would be an arctic fox because I tend to come off as shy from first impressions as I usually don't speak upfront and open up instantly when making new friends. But once I get into my comfort zone, I can become quite the social butterfly. Many people have told me that I can approach almost anyone effortlessly, but I prefer to have a small group of close friends who really mean the world to me. Like how I am, a fox tends to be a little bit playful but definitely someone who's willing to put up a fight when needed, especially to protect itself and its loved ones. Also, personality wise, as playful as a fox is, there are also times where it demands solitude, and hence I feel that the arctic fox really is a really great representation of myself.

Sook says: Pine marten!  Because it is one of the first animals that my significant other introduced to me and it always makes me happy when I think about it. Although simply adorable, it is still not a weakling little animal; it can be quite feral, which kind of gives me an impression it will be a good patronus to scare off dark things.  It also brings back good memories for me, of that moment when he showed me what a pine marten was. It represents a continuing process of discovery with him in our journey through life together!

Congrats to both for presenting your answers so well! I will email each of you about collection / delivery of the prizes!

They were fantastic. They really spent a lot of time with the fans, and signed as many autographs as they could. They even greeted us, instead of only just signing on books. I think they look quite dashing. ;)

Gringotts_magnet_in_pouch_1

If you haven't submitted your response for the Harry Potter T-Shirt giveaway, hurry do so now! :) 

Sorry that this giveaway post is a bit late! I've been super busy since we touched down in London yesterday evening! London is so exciting, and I've been updating about what we've done here so far. Keep a look out on the blog! ;)

For this giveaway, there are 2 pieces of these magnets, as shown in the picture! Original and official merchandise from Warner Bros!

If you want one of these magnets, just answer my question:

What is the company that has sponsored my trip to London to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? 

Email your answers to daphne.loo@live.com and I will select 2 winners who have given me the correct answer! :) All entries must be submitted latest by 10 July, 2359 hrs Singapore time! Winners must be situated in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or Philippines! I will mail the magnets and pouch to you. :)

Psst. Have you checked out Windows LiveSkyDrive? It's an cloud storage system that you can use for free just by logging in with your Windows Passport (that's your Hotmail or Live Mail account). Everyone gets 25GB of free storage space, which is honestly way better than the pathetic 2GB I'm getting from some other cloud storage system *coughdr0pb0xcough*
