Potter Fan To Get Top Role

One Harry Potter fan will be getting a wizard present this Christmas - a walk-on role in the next film.

He or she will appear in forthcoming blockbuster Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

Starting today, questions about JK Rowling's best-selling stories will be posted on the MSN website.

A new question will appear each week until December 20.

MSN entertainment manager Mike Lok said: "We're so excited about being able to offer this amazing prize to one Harry Potter fan."

"This really will make someone's Christmas dreams come true. Needless to say, we expect this to be a highly-contested competition."

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is the sixth instalment in Rowling's series and Daniel Radcliffe will star once again as the schoolboy wizard.

The film is due for release in November next year.
