Did you all hear about the new Harry Potter Sweepstakes on the official website?

(I thought this seemed like a fun sort of contest, if you're curious. Of course, I'd like to 
win, but I thought I'd put the fact that's even out there, here, so other people can enter at 
http://www.harrypotter.com/goblet) 
And the following little speech? It's kind of a joke. I thought it was funny =D)  

Dear Voters: 

    For those of you who don't know, the official Harry Potter site is running a contest 
where first prize is a chance to go to England and meet the cast of the Harry Potter films. 
The contest winner will be determined by who gets the most votes. I, Vera F, feel that you 
should vote for me. I will outline the reasons as to why here: 

1: My name sounds foreign.

2: I have a lot of free time. . . so I could probably squeeze a trip to England into my 
schedule.

3: I have free cake. *points to a table with free cake*

4: . . . Cause I asked you to. Don't be difficult. 

I would love to meet Dan, Emma, and Rupert. I think we would click so well. We'd be such 
good friends. Especially Dan, I can imagine our first meeting. . .  

Dan Radcliffe: Hello, you must be Vera.

Vera: Oh my god, it's Harry Potter!

Dan Radcliffe: Well. . . no, you see, I'm Daniel Radcliffe. I'm not actually Har-

Vera: I can't wait to tell all my friends I met THE Harry Potter!

Dan Radcliffe: Ah. . . I'm really more of an actor. . .

Vera: Oh my god. . . remember that time you killed that giant snake?!

Dan Radcliffe: That, that. . . that was a book. All I did was wave a sword in front of a green 
screen.

Vera: It was the snake of Slytherin's heir himself!

Dan Radcliffe: Um. . .

Vera: Remember? It was all:  "ahhh! I'm a giant snake, and I'm going to rip your gizzard 
out!

Dan Radcliffe: . . . The gizzard, huh?

Vera: And you were all: "ahhh! I'm the boy who lived for crying out loud! I'll rip YOUR 
gizzard out, see if I don't."

Dan Radcliffe: I think you're getting a little carried away. . .

Vera: Then the snake lunged at you, and tried to bite your face off!

Dan Radcliffe: Oh dear. . .

Vera: So you gave him a right hook. Bam. Punched him right in the nose. Then you said: 
"that's how we roll up in private drive!"

Dan Radcliffe: I don't seem to remember saying that.

(Vera's eyes narrow)

Vera: Wait a minute. You're not Harry Potter, you're an imposter! Imposter!

Dan Radcliffe: No, no, I'm an actor. I'm Daniel Rad-

(Vera dives at Dan Radcliffe's face, grabbing his hair in both hands, yanking.)

Vera: Wig! Imposter! Wig! Come off you stupid wig. . .

Dan Radcliffe: Oww! Dan Radcliffe has black hair too! Stop! Oh god it hurts! 

    Oh man. . . that would be a tad embarrassing. But you know, if I met them I might just 
freeze. Them being huge stars and all, it might make be a little nervous, and what if they 
decided to tease me? 

Emma Watson: So you're a pretty big Harry Potter fan, I hear?

Vera: Oh, yes. I love Harry potter.

Rupert Grint: If you're such a big fan, tell me. . . what does Harry say to Hermione in the 
third book on page 153?

Vera: Ah. . . Ah. . .

Dan Radcliffe: In the Spanish edition of the third book, of course.

Vera: . . .

(Vera starts crying.)

Emma Watson: Muggle.

Rupert Grint: Muggle

Dan Radcliffe: That muggle.

Vera: Wahhh!

(Vera cries hysterically.) 

Or. . .  

Vera: Emma, you're so pretty.

Emma Watson: Thank you.

Vera: Am I as pretty as you?

Emma Watson: Nope.

Vera: Wahhh!

(Vera cries some more.)  

Although, there's a good chance it could go like this too. 

Vera: Marry me, Dan.

Dan Radcliffe: Ok. 

Shut up, it could! 

So what are you waiting for? Vote Vera F! Just look at these real life testimonials from 
people who voted for me. 

Mark Markson: I voted for Vera. I feel marginally more handsome now. 

Bill Billson: I voted for Vera. It wasn't so bad. 

And look at these interviews I did with others who voted for me. 

Vera: How are you doing?

Ralph Ralphson: Good, I lost 3 pounds this week.

Vera: You voted for me, right?

Ralph Ralphson: Yes, I did.

Vera: So voting for me is probably what caused you to lose weight, right?

Ralph Ralphson: No. . . I started a new diet, it's working out great.

Vera: But. . . but voting for me might have been what did it, right?

Ralph Ralpson: I think that's doubtful.

Vera: But, it's not impossible, right?

Ralph Ralphson: No, I suppose not. . .    

And this one with my campaign manager, Kevin . . . 

Vera: So, you voted for me, right?

Kevin: No.

Vera: What?! You're my campaign manager!

Kevin: Sod off.  

So as you can see, not only do I clearly deserve your votes, voting for me will also make 
you cooler, and physically more attractive. How could you vote for anyone but me? . . . 
Seriously, vote for me. Just follow this link, and type in VeraF789 for the person you want 
to vote for. You can vote for as many people as you want, too. So you can enter the 
contest yourself. Vote for me, and I'll vote for you. *Charming smile*
