This afternoon Bloomsbury have emailed with an update on the Vote for your Favorite Harry Potter Character campaign they are having. Voting runs until Friday 26^th August 2011. The winning character will be announced on Tuesday 30^th August 2011.

“It’s been three weeks since we launched the vote to find the favourite Harry Potter character from the books and we have had an amazing 45,000 votes in that time. Information on the first three week’s worth of votes has come in and two characters are taking an early lead. I can’t tell you who they are but a certain boy wizard isn’t quite making the grade at the moment! Interesting votes for characters not on the list include Buckbeak, Fawkes, Fang and, with a single vote, the Fat Lady in the portrait at the entrance to Gryffindor!”

You can also take part in smaller quizzes and polls by joining the facebook page at www.facebook.com/HPUKbooks

A couple of quick product notes for this morning. First, Hot Topic has started to stock some new items in preparation of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  You can view all their Harry Potter items at this page.

Second, the website GetGlue, which offers stickers for watching movies (as well as other activities) has teamed up with Warner Bros. to release stickers for the Deathly Hallows release. To get the stickers you must “check in” to say that you’re watching videos. Once you earn 20 stickers you can request actual copies of the stickers and they will be sent to you!

UPDATE: GetGlue have emailed with a bit more information:

You can earn these checking-in on different days to one of the previous movies via our app or website to unlock these magical stickers. And if you plan on attending the midnight screening of Harry Potter be sure to check-in again to share what you’re watching and to earn another coveted sticker.

Thanks Rupert-Grint.us!
