Harry Potter Mystery

What were you thinking? Thinking it was a safe place you put the $100 your aunt gave you in the library book you just returned "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". It was still in the envelope with your name and address on it so Joey Booker, the next patron who discovered the book and the money, decided to write you a letter.

Dear Sam,

I read all three of the Harry Potter books and went to the library to get Book Four. I couldn't wait to start it. Imagine my surprise when an envelope with $100 inside and your name on it fell out onto my bathroom floor. I knew I had to give it back, but not without a little fun first. Here's what you must do.

Mail me a letter postmarked on the day the Harry Potter movie opens. What is that date again? Oh well, you'll figure it out. I'll need some things from you before I mail your money back to you.

Put the title of my little sister's favorite little book in the envelope. I can never remember the whole title. I think it is something about paper, and the author's last name is Cleary. Find it from you local library.

I am also going to need an article from the "Buffalo News" about Harry Potter that was written after January 1, 2001.

There is one more thing I would like. I have always wanted to know who the President of the United States was when I was born so can you bring that information too? I was born in 1988.

Yours Truly,
Joey Booker

Can you get all of the information you need to please Joey Booker and get your $100 back? Don't forget to use a variety of sources: the Internet, OPAC, Buffalo News Database, Encarta 2001, World Book Online, and InfoTrac Jr. Good Luck!
