| | |  J.K. Rowling comments on favourite Harry Potter character, Bloomsbury launches poll
Bloomsbury, the UK publishers of the Harry Potter books, has launched a new poll where fans from around the world can choose their favourite character from the series. J.K. Rowling herself was quoted in the press release, where she admitted that of course Harry is her favourite character, but out of the hundreds she's written about in the series, she'd love to have dinner and a chat with Albus Dumbledore the most.  Quote:
J.K ROWLING would choose: ‘Harry, although I believe I am unusual in this, Ron is generally more popular (I love him too, though) Now that I have finished writing the books, the character I would most like to meet for dinner is Dumbledore. We would have a lot to discuss, and I would love his advice; I think that everyone would like a Dumbledore in their lives.’
 Bloomsbury Publishing is launching the first official global search to find the world’s favourite character from the Harry Potter books.
Over the course of seven bestselling books Harry Potter has met a huge cast of incredible characters. Bloomsbury has drawn up a list of 40 of those characters which can be found on the home page of www.bloomsbury.com/harrypotter where visitors can vote. If a character is missing, then there is also the opportunity to add your favourite.
The poll opens on Monday 16th May 2011 and runs until Friday 26th August 2011. The winning character will be announced on Tuesday 30th August 2011. The poll will be supported by regular Facebook updates.

Funny enough the selection remains at "Gilderoy Lockhart" even when I click on other characters. He's not even my favourite! -_-

Ginny Weasley, she doesn't have a major role but I find her character to be the most interesting.

Ginny, Ginny, and Ginny :-)
As a side note, I thought that the descriptions of a lot of the characters at the Bloomsbury site were pretty lame. It's like they were written by somebody who did not actually read the books. For example, Harry is a "Student at Hogwarts. Famous for having survived an attack by Lord Voldemort in infancy." Really? That's all you got for us?

Hard choice, but I'd have to go with Snape.

This is kind of a hard choice ..  I surely agree with Jo though, Harry and Dumbledore are just ..

Can't pick between the twins, Dobby, Remus or Sirius. Can I do it once, then refresh the page 4 times?

Haha, true, everyone would like a Dumbledore in their lives  But I couldn't pick just one character, I'm so torn between Dumbledore/Snape/McGonagall/Hermione. All 4 of them are my favourite...
