The Today Show has launched a contest for young Harry Potter fans in the US to win a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter this spring. A video explaining the contest can be seen below.
Teachers from the continental United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), who teach students aged 5-18 are eligible. They must send in a 3-minute video explaining the following:

By answering the question “Why is my class extraordinary?”, you could be part of a group on a three-day, two-night trip to the opening celebration festivities of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida.
The judging criteria is based on the following: Originality and Creativity (30%), Responsiveness to Question (30%), Camera Readiness (20%), and Clarity of Communication (20%).
The deadline for entries is March 19. Winners will be chosen through online voting from April 23 to 29. [Editor's note: This would indicate that the Wizarding World will open in either May or June.] Complete rules can be found here.
Also, the Wizarding World's official site has been revamped, featuring concept art for all the attractions, including the shops, rides, and Hogwarts castle. The images can be seen in our galleries.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open this spring.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Eep! That's great! It all looks so good! One tiny thing though...why don't i live in USA?! It's not fair! I want to go! Good luck on all those that are applying!
AH! I have to convince one of my teachers to do this! Buuuut I really don't think any of my classes are that extraordinary I really hope it opens in June though so I won't have to skip school
Wait this is a bit confusing. Is it the class that makes the video or just the teacher??
