Winner of the Harry Potter movie tickets!

Last week, for one of the Harry Potter Giveaways (for the Harry Potter movie tickets), I asked blog readers to name me all the characters (and the respective actors/actresses) in the order that they appeared on my blog when I attended the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows World Premiere in London on 7 July. 

The trip was sponsored by Windows Live / Hotmail / Microsoft Singapore! You can read all about it here!

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!)

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!
