ok, congrats and all, seriously its awesome, but whats with heroin, seriously, its like the heroin the drug for crying out loud, don't you think they could have made a smarter name??? or just said female hero or something, i mean geez, you don't have to make it a sexist type thing by putting in on the end, it's just stupid if you ask me... they should just say hero, or if it's to be only against other woman, female hero i mean geez...
BUT CONGRATS HERMIONE/ w/e your real name is lol

A scan of the article can be seen here. *sighing* Yet again the world goes out of its way to show just how stupid it really is. Is everyone on crack or am I like the biggest feminist here? Seriously people...
#6 Edna Pontellier: The woman dies...she dies...OMG! For what? If she were smart she'd a pulled a Betty Davis and shot her husband...NOT DIED!!!!! Awakening is what the people who voted for her need.
#11 Scarlett O'Hara...WTF are these people on??? She should be #1 OMG! She's like the greatest literary heroine EVER!!!!
Juliet???? OMG!!! She died...what dead heroines are suddenly all the rage???
Nancy Drew totally rocks...but Mrs. Marple easily kicks her...bobbysocks.
Josephine March should have been #2, and Hermione #3 actually...Love Jo.
Daisy Miller???? Wasn't she stupid???
Teddy: Ill mannered, not unlike you Ottery when people knock Gwtw
Ottery: 
*sighing deeply* It was rigged against Scarlett...she's the ultimate heroine put them all in a room and she'd kick all their achooos. Sorry. She so would. Who's got time for prissiness, and manners *Teddy says: Or dying really* when you've got a plantation to save??? I tell, she'd kick all their...Jo would be the only one who could conceivably put up a good fight. And no I don't mean a wrestling match...Scarlett saved the South...hmm...beat that you other heroines...

Guys, it's heroinE not heroin which is the drug...
*looks at Ottery* I don't know what they were thinking with Juliet... she died because Romeo died. Not really what you'd want to consider a heroic move.
And I'm still bummed about no Eowyn. I mean, she kicked butt! She killed the Witch King!

Third Year | Ottery is...like a hundred the only impulse he has is not to die on you when ranting Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert
Eowyn??? Witch King??? Are we talking about Taran the Wanderer, and The Black Cauldron??? *Ottery's memory is faulty* I loved her character she was so quirky...not unlike Luna actually...but not exactly like her either...*last thing Ottery wants to do is start another idiotic JKR stole that character argument* She doesn't even read fantasy...JKR not Eowyn... 
And yeah, Juliet died people...sheesh...shouldya just got a new boyfriend...
R&J is all about the impetuosity of young love, they were younger than Ron and Hermione... fourteen if I recall...she represents the dreamy, girl wish fulfillment element of youthful romance...unlike Scarlett who is true woman and a poster girl for "You can do it" *in a whisper*it'll just cost you your love.

*smacks Ottery* LoTR! I can't believe you didn't know that. Eowyn was so great. Had an unrequited love for the hero, one of the heros, dresses like a man to go into battle, and kills the Witch King which no man could kill and yells, "I am no man!" And then finds love in a noble man.  Quite lovely, really.
I still really can't believe the Juliet thing. That's disturbing. Maybe one of us should write them - books.co.uk - and point out their disturbing mistakes.

Third Year |  Ottery is...deeply hurt that you didn't pick Eilonwy...LOL okay so maybe not... Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert
Eilonwy...is the one from those books and I know I mispelled that anyways... Yeah, well, the movie kind of sucked out the passion for the books, and uhm I read them a million years ago and only once, oh and this insipid little Lotr vs. HP thing which is soon to become CoN vs. HP...just cuz of C.S. Lewis' friendship with you know JRR...yeah...annoying. So no. She's not heroic either...just lucky, and she had the help of a hobbit you remember? So no. I'll stick with my choice of Eilonwy. 
I'm right and you know it. Agree and Obey. I am Obnoxious and trite and aggravating...wait a minute...*was reading Teddy's speech* You little...*chasing Teddy all over the forums*
