hmm I'm not very surprised. I mean it's a bit obvious isn't it? Ever since she introduced Harry Potter. (OmG! I'm having a Hermione-ish moment) We all got hit and got addicted. It must be nice to be on that list. She was also on some list for one of the most richest and successful women in the world. I'm not surprised to see Oprah W. on the list either. :sorcererdragon: YAY JK!!

Actualy, Jo Rowling has far more power than any of those... She has the power to manipulate the mind using her books. She could end the entire universe of Harry Potter if she wanted, creating mass revoloutions of school children and adults even. All mel Gibson does is write movies and act in, sometimes pathetic films.
Oprah Winfrey!!!???!!! A boring talkshow host?!?!?
Society today... *grumbles*

Society today... *grumbles* ^ HEY! Oprah Winfrey is the one of the most influential and caring people in humanity!! She does all kinds of humanitarian work around the world. I think that when it comes to celebrity power, JK Rowling should be #1 and Oprah should be #2. :flowersmile:

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
