April Poetry Contest Now Open
ContestsToday, our wonderful contest crew has a new contest to bring you just in time for spring. As April is the National Month for Poetry, this new contest asks you to write a poem about the Harry Potter series. You can write about your favorite scene, favorite characters, or about anything Potter related you desire. All forms of poetry will be accepted, so do feel free to be creative and style your work as you please. Only one entry per person will be accepted, and please limit your poem to 150 words. As always, anyone not involved in the judging process and over the age of 13 may enter an original work. We ask that entries adhere to a strict PG-13 rating and be mailed to contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org by April 30th at 11:59pm (EDT) with “HP Poem” in the subject line of the e-mail. Complete information on this contest can be found right here.
Good luck to all who enter!

ooo, that’s really cool. It should be fun, actually. I’m tempted to try!
I’m actually going to try this out. But are there any prizes?
I don’t think there’s a prize… You do it because it’s an honour. And of course, to see your name in print.
I sure hope someone gets the reference :P
Yeah, as Sam say no prizes but an honour or more I would say a tribute to our love for the Harry Potter literatures. Plus it should be fun to write!
“Limit poem to 150 words”, I take that to be a maximum. Is there a minimum?
Is Leaky going to have a big gallery of entries besides the winners? That would be pretty fantastic!
I have attempted to contact the leaky on several different ocassions to donate wands for the contest prizes each month. These are top quality Harry Potter style wands from the makers of Wizard Wood Wands, complete with wand box and certificate of authenticity. But I have never received a reply. I would like to donate them to the Leaky Cauldron for FREE as a thank you for all the hard work they put into this website. I have been visiting for years and would like to give back. If you are reading this guys, the offer still stands (for the Leaky Cauldron only – please do not contact me about free wands). Here is a link to the product:
