Alright, all you Wizards and Muggles out there. You know how awesome it could be to use your Wii-mote like a magic wand?. Well now you don't just have to imagine how cool it is, you can win a free copy of the Harry Potter game to find out for yourself!
All you have to do is pass your O.W.L. exam. It’s only one question but it’s a two parter broken apart across two sites. Part 1 is right here on Siliconera and part 2 is over on thebbps.com. Answering both is required to be entered in the drawing, and answering part 1 is necessary to figuring out part 2. Hey no one said passing the Ordinary Wizarding Level tests were easy!
So here's part 1:
"This movie star has played both a deceased significant other and a character involved with imaginary pugilists. What role does this person play in the upcoming "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix movie?"
Got it? Now take that answer and head over to thebbps.com for part 2!
