Thats great for Voldie....
I suggest that many of you run, not walk to your local library and start reading....you are really missing out. Charles Dickens and Stephen King, how do you not know them???

Really? Big Brother's #1? I've read 1984 and I've got to disagree with that. Big Brother could hardly be counted as a villian since he never came in contact with Winston (protagonist). He's more like a Slughorn or a Fudge, but he's not in Voldy's arena. He's more like a bumbling politician or a pompus Caesar than a villian. I think O'Brien, the Ministry of Love, or the Spies fit the villian rank. Still, I can't see why he's #1. He's not even scary, it's the Party, anyone who read the book would know that. The Party hyped-up his image and the war. Weird...

Hmm, I think Voldy should be alot higher. He's a pretty scary guy, definately scarier than Bill Sykes.

I think the list is good the way it is. You have to factor in that many of these figures were created before our time, so really, so unless you're really literary, you probably haven't read all those books. Beyond that, you'll always be a little more afraid of villains in your childhood novels. So it stands to reason that older generations are more afraid of Big Brother, Pennywise, and Bill Sykes than they are of Voldemort, and we're more afraid of Voldemort than we are of the other villains. If they asked what the most terrifying villain of our generation was, then I'd be confident that Voldemort would top the list, but this is a poll of all time.
