Three Canadian kids prepare for exclusive Harry Potter launch

The first three Canadian invitees to the exclusive launch of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have been announced this week: Eun Ji An of West Vancouver was the winner of the Raincoast sweepstakes, Emmy Chahal of Burnaby took the contest sponsored by The Georgia Straight and CBC, and Michael Farr won in the Chapters/Indigo contest. Three winners will travel to Edinburgh Castle to be the first to hear J.K. Rowling read from portions of the new book. The kids – 70 in total, with four from Canada – will then report to media on the event. The one other Canadian winner, from a contest sponsored by The Globe and Mail, have yet to be announced.
