Okay, everyone go vote for Hagrid....erm, I mean go vote for who you want

Can you tell I like Hagrid?

[Colli]

[Amberion]

Hagrid is :cool: :cool: :cool:

[lithorose]

Sirius. Though he isn't really returning;)

[Kristin]

What do you mean he isn't really returning?!?! :eek:

Well, I voted for him anyway. Sirius is my favorite. :swoon:

[Voldemort'sWand]

I have added a random quote generator to the front page, just above the news. There are 170 quotes right now. If you have quotes you would like to submit, PM them to me. :)

[lithorose]

Well, I have it on good authority that he's um, taking a really long vacation in book 5. yeah, that's it.

Seriously though, he can't return because it's his first appearance in the movies!:D

edit: almost forgot the obligatory Sirius :swoon:

[Kristin]

"he can't return because it's his first appearance in the movies!"

Ah, but the poll was about Order of the Phoenix! :p


Anyhow... it's that time again. A new poll is up. :)

For this one I voted for Gary Oldman... he's the only one I'm really sure about. I don't really know enough about Michael Gambon and I'm warming up to David Thewlis.. I just don't love the idea of him as Lupin.

[lithorose]

There are lots of new questions to be asked now that OotP is out. So let me know if you have some poll ideas. :D

[Kristin]

Interesting... more than half picked Umbridge. Add in some of the other votes and the zero for Voldemort, and it's obvious that the most despicable characters aren't necessarily the most evil.

And for those who voted "other" let us know who you were thinking of!

66 votes! I'm glad to see more people voting. :) Let me know if you have any good poll ideas. (A new poll is up.)

Voldemort might be evil, but it's an interesting character. Umbridge makes me think of someone scratching their nails down a chalkboard... *shudders* She's not even a likable bad-guy... like Snape or Lucius... love to hate them ;)

It didn't bother me much. - 13% - 6
