| | |  Rowling worth preserving for the future
In a survey involving 3,000 people J.K.Rowling was the only woman to make the top ten people most worth preserving for the future. The top four looks like this;
1) Wayne Rooney
2) Robbie Williams
3) Peter Kay
4) Freddie Flintoff
J.K.Rowling came in at 7th place.
In other poll-related news, Bloomsbury is conducting a survey to find out who is the vilest villain in literature. Both Draco Malfoy and Lord Voldemort are options in the poll. To vote for who you love to hate the most, go to this page. The winner will be announced on September 4th, coinciding with the release of H.I.V.E (Higher Institute of Villanous Education), a novel by Mark Walden.
Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet. | |

Hi! I’d just like to let you know I love you and your books so much I’d want to stick you in a freezer! Thanks, and please have a nice day  .”
How’s that for gratification? I’m surprised that she’s the only woman to have made the whole list- I would have thought there would be at least two or three.  That's so funny! I like that! I wouldn't quite like to put her in a freezer though! *side glance*

YAY! She totally deserves it! Haha, that villian survey is VERY extensive. I thought it'd never end. And then I could only pick ONE! lol... Sure does bring back some good book memories.

Preserving... like something cryogenic related? Anyways, awesome news for Ms. Rowling. She deserves the honor. 
Voted for Lord Voldemort. Although voting the others was very tempting.

I definitely would love for Jo to be preserved in the future. I would hate to have gone through this crazy HP fanatiscism (is that a word?) and then years from now live in a world where she's been forgotten. It would be dreadful.
There were a lot of baddies on that villain list but, of course, to me Voldy is the worst. | |

Why is Umbridge not on the list? WHY?! *feels murderous* I guess that's because she's not really the main antagonist in the series. But she's right down there with the worst of them.

Which baddie from a book do you
secretly love?
Haha, Draco and Barty Crouch Jr.
