Get paid $1k to watch Harry Potter in one binge session

Sounds too good to be true — sit back during your enforced at-home quarantine and earn $1000 watching Harry Potter? Accio money!

You might have even just completed a Harry Potter rewatch on your own, but you’re trapped at home anyway by virtue of the CoVid-19 viral pandemic, and this is a seriously tempting offer. All you have to do is liveTweet using @getedsmart and the hashtag #getedsmart, and be prepared for 25 hours of consecutive sofa time.

A thousand dollars could buy a lot of toilet paper right now.

Sponsor EDsmart (a college ranking website) requires applicants to have an active social media life and a true love for all things Potter (and Scamander, one assumes). I’d guess, at minimum, make sure you can cast a solid handful of spells, know your School House, brew a successful Polyjuice potion, and could effortlessly hatch an Occamy/control a gaggle of Nifflers. Just saying.

Sorry, kids, you have to be 18 or older to apply. That means graduates of Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Ilvermorny are welcome. Five of the top witches and wizards will be awarded this outstanding opportunity. (Did you get all Outstandings on your O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S? <– if you know what this means, you just might win!)

One of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I’ve used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I’m not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don’t have to summarize anything when they get back!!

Swag and HP Merch? We’ll Take the Lot!

As if the money from Gingrott’s wasn’t enough incentive, you also get swag. Goodies include the entire series on Blu Ray, a GrubHub $100 gift card, a Gryffindor snuggie, Hogwarts alumni mug, Butter Beer caramel corn, Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs (with Wizard Trading Cards — I keep searching for the elusive Dumbledore), and gummy jelly slugs (remember Ron?). No Nimbus 2000 on the list, but hey, with $1000 you can probably source one.

It’s a heady overload of free goodies for the lucky Potterhead.

If someone applies from reading this post, please let RunPee know (at [email protected], or comment below), so we can root for you and cast lots of Charm Spells in your direction! And if you WIN, we’ll also give you a free Infinity Peecoin for unlimited Peetimes at RunPee. (That’s even better than $1000? Maybe not, but think of all the movies you won’t have to miss the best scenes from.)

Here’s the application again. Pip pip, off you go!
