We
reported several weeks ago that
ITV were holding a contest to determine which lucky British child would interview J.K.Rowling on National TV.
A quiz show called '
Harry Potter at the Castle: The Quest for the Ultimate Potter Fan' will feature four finalists from this competition. Those four fans will compete for the chance to interview Rowling.
The programme will be aired on
ITV1 on Sunday July 10th at 5:15pm.
Quote:
Four of JK Rowling's biggest fans test their knowledge of the best-selling saga. The young contestants must also prove their journalistic skills as the winner will get to interview the author in an exclusive one-to-one chat to mark the imminent publication of the sixth instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Presented by Ben Shephard.

Thanks to
Kaz for the tip!

ITV UPDATE: An Irish
news site has quoted the presenter of the show as saying:
Quote:
"There's a lot at stake for the four contestants. To get this far is an amazing achievement but to be crowned the ultimate Harry Potter fan, to meet JK Rowling and attend the book launch is a chance in a lifetime."
