| | J.K. Rowling immortalized in Lego as the ultimate hero (UPDATED)
As a reward for topping a poll voted on by children, who had to choose their ultimate hero, a large-scale lego-set model of J.K. Rowling's face was constructed at Legoland Windsor in the UK. Photos of the model can be seen here:
The head of Legoland said this of Jo's honour: Quote:
“Her books have been a great inspiration to children of all ages.
“We actively encourage imagination and creativity and believe in making the children the heroes – just as Rowling does in her stories.”
UPDATE: According to the The Telegraph, Dan Radcliffe came in at 8th place with 2% of the vote and David Tennant (Barty Jr) came 9th with 1% of the vote. Jo won with 37.4% of the vote. |

This is so awesome. I can't believe how life-like this mural seems, and the creator only used legos. I surely doesn't look like legos to me.
