| | |  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. | |

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

“Dear Jo,
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. | |

This is brilliant. From the four people whose name Emma presented, I only know Peter Kay.  Oh well. But I'm so happy people think Jo worth preserving. She should have been a #1. She's the best of hem all. *huggles her*  Go Jo. You're brilliant.
Incidentally I voted for Dracula in the Favourite Bad Guy Poll.  He's my favourite, when you read all of his comedy + action + horror mix fiction.

Congratulations, JKR!! She so deserves to be remembered all throughout time, just not as a mummy or ice cube!

Wow!! She deserves to be in the list. But putting Wayne Rooney in the list is going to far, unless he helps England win the World Cup
