Attention Canadians and Snape lovin’ fools who can’t get enough Potter cons this year!

As a prize for being voted Most Eligible Owl Bachelor in Avian Monthly, Snarky has obtained an extra ticket for Prophecy, the Harry Potter convention set to take place in Toronto August 2 through 5. Because he already planned to go to the convention with his new Canadian goose girlfriend, we’re giving the registration away to a Snapecast listener.

So, if you’re still hoping to register for Prophecy and would like to be entered in a drawing, give us a shout!

You can enter the drawing in any of the following ways:

-Vote and leave a comment for us on PodcastAlley
-Leave a comment to this post in our LiveJournal community
-Leave a comment on our MySpace Community
-Leave a comment on our website snapecast.com
-Leave us a voicemail on Skype (username: snapecast)

Just be sure to leave some way for us to contact you, and please only enter once. The drawing opens July 1, 2007 and will close on Saturday July 7, 2007. The drawing will be conducted immediately, the winner contacted and their eligibility verified. Remember attendees of Prophecy must be at least 18 years old so no underage witches and wizards may enter the contest.

The winners will be announced on our website by noon EST on Sunday July 8, 2007 and announced on our July 15 episode.

With the imminent release of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Snapecast is planning a medley for showcasing Snape Theories to air on our July 1 episode. We’ll be collecting audio Owl submissions until June 20 so there are only 5 more days left for submission. If you have a special Snape Theory you’d like to share, send us an email with a voice recording or leave us a voicemail on Skype answering the question:

What do you think will happen to Severus Snape in Book 7?

Answers can cover topics ranging from whether Snape will live or die, his true allegiance, or his role in the overall plot. Please keep your submissions to under 1 minute in length. Acceptable audio formats include .MP3, .OGG, or Skype voicemail. If you need a recording program we recommend Audacity. For emails with attached recordings please put “Snape Theory” in the subject line.
