In regards to the time frame, does it have to be within Harry's first and seventh years at Hogwarts or can it be within the scope of the time frame covered in the book (such as Dumbledore's youth). Thank you!

Thank you! Good question! The postcard needs to fall within the actual time frame of the books. Since you used Dumbledore as an example, I'll use him as well--you can't submit a postcard from a vacationing Dumbledore to Grindelwald while they were both in school. While Dumbledore's relationship to Grindelwald was mentioned in Deathly Hallows, it doesn't fit within the time frame of the books. However, if you submitted a postcard from Dumbledore to one of the staff at Hogwarts while Dumbledore was headmaster and while Harry was a student, then that would fall within the guidelines of the rules for this contest. --------------------  Devoted thanks to Dreamteam for the pics!

Ok since its a bit late for anyone to copy my idea (I don't think you'd want to anyway) I'll just say it. I had an idea of Dumbledore sending postcards to Snape of him looking for a horcrux but sadly I never started my entry. Oh well.

I'm sorry to be a bother yet again, but I'm putting the finishing touches on my postcard and my message is three words over the 50 word limit. Is that acceptable? Thank you.

All things being equal, we'll award to the entry that fully falls within the rules for the contest. -------------------- Devoted thanks to Dreamteam for the pics!

I understand, and technically the message itself is under 50, it's just the recipient of the postcard and the sender that takes it over. |
