Fans could only enter by submitting their letters through specially-designed postboxes at participating bookshops and libraries. The winner of the competition received one of these exclusive books and a family holiday to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

Also included is the original padded envelope from Bloomsbury in which the book was delivered and the entry returned.
