Will Forbes and the Prize of Awesomesauce in OD

A couple of weeks ago, I entered, and won, a Twitter competition to win some Deathly Hallows Pt2 merchandise.

I had no idea what the actual prize was. On Friday, the box turned up (in good time as I was going to see the film that night).

So, what were the contents?

Special Harry Potter 3D glasses. Which I’ll never use, as watching films in 3D gives me a headache and besides, IT’S A FUCKING GIMMICK!

Harry potter headphones with 4 cable clips.

The bit of the headphones that makes them Harry Potter headphones.

And one of the clips.

Gringotts coin fridge magnet and the pouch it came in.

Close up of the magnet.

Keyring, with a Gringotts coin and a dragon.

Rubber stamps. One says Gringotts Bank, one says Avanda Kedavra and one says The Battle of Hogwarts.

The Battle of Hogwarts hat.

And the matching t shirt.

Voldemort t shirt. With green eyes, for some strange reason.

And the piece de resistance. My brand new golden snitch clock.

Another shot of it.

The clock open.

What else would it say just above the lip?

The box the clock came in.

In more Potter news to make you jealous, on Monday I was able to get one of the early regestration places for Pottermore and today I found out that I have won a Deathly Hallows Pt2 poster with my picture in it.

One more thing. Over the weekend, I was round at a friends house so her boyfriend could cut my hair for me. (In case you’re wondering how that went, bear in mind I usually post pics of my freshly cut hair here and on FB.)

My friend had saved up the free bumpf that comes through the letterbox for catching hair. We didn’t need it, as I had taken a paper with me, but I did take one of them home to scan in for you.

Can you spot the problem?

Apart from wondering who the hell would get a local takeout to cater a party, I’m not sure that’s how you spell special. Turn out, neither are they, cos this appears at the top of the same page:
