YAY! I'll vote!At least in some of the catgories.


Posted by kryntal Jun 14th 2008

Of course Harry Potter should win!! Go, Jo's legacy!!


Posted by joelwhyrock Jun 14th 2008

They seem to win so many awards, I can barely keep up! Definitely voting.


Posted by HPbrownLove1 Jun 14th 2008

haha harry potter wins so many awards. only proves how great and amazing it is. go JKR and harry potterr! =)


Posted by polkadots56 Jun 14th 2008

I am sorry, Emma, but Helena should def win for Sweeney Todd... she was amazingggg. But in all the other catergories HARRY POTTER WILL OWNNN.


Posted by janegallagher Jun 14th 2008

crap... as much as i love JKR, i really want douglas adams to win. JKR hasn't really had a lifetime of achievements yet. as amazing as harry potter is, she hasn't really written anything else. i feel like the other authors had long, varied careers, whereas JKR's career is just beginning. i think she deserves the award... just not right now.

huzzah!


Posted by whatupciz Jun 14th 2008

top ten! im glad hp is still being recognized for all its done!


Posted by felixfelicis888 Jun 14th 2008

awesome but what about rupert? he's always left out!


Posted by rooon Jun 14th 2008

Cool. But yeah, what about Rupert?


Posted by hpninjaskills Jun 14th 2008

Emma? Hm, this just seems like another popularity contest to me.


Posted by tiassa Jun 14th 2008

I agree with janegallagher.only Im not going ot vote for Adams. Im going with Wells


Posted by alex_c98 Jun 14th 2008

Oh, that's tough. I love Jo with all my heart but I'll be voting for Douglas Adams. Jo should and definitely will win this award later in life, but as janegallagher said, her career is only just beginning. RIP Douglas.


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Jun 14th 2008

thats awesome i hope they win but what about Rupert? He's just as good an actor as Dan and Emma.


Posted by amy_loves_rhr Jun 14th 2008

Considering that Emma can't act, I will have to kill someone if she wins over Helena Bonham Carter. Seriously. It is, like someone above me said, a popularity contest. And exactly, what about Rupert? He is far more talented than the other two, and quite frankly if I was him I'd be getting pretty pissed off at being constantly overlooked. Basically, if Emma wins, I will despair forever more.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jun 14th 2008

amy_loves_rhr - Its not that emma can't act. She can't act WELL. There is a small difference. ------------ Ten dollars says that Dan and Emma will win, even though the definitely shouldn't. Rupert should have at least gotten a nmoniation, seeing as he's a decent actor. Besides, do any of these peope, (Jo included) need any more awards? Where do they put them all?


Posted by ClintonDickinson Jun 14th 2008

I want Helena Bonham Carter to win. She's only one of my favorite actresses EVER! :-)


Posted by Mariami Jun 14th 2008

Whaaaat. Helena Boham Carter up against Emma Watson? That's the most hilarious thing I've read all week. I'm sorry, but I don't think Emma is that good of an actress. I do think Dan deserves a nomination, but if he does, so does Rupert, because he's just as good, and in my personal opinion, even better. But whatever. Good luck, Helena!


Posted by nickypotter Jun 14th 2008

well honestly idkkk about the JKR cat. that shes in . lol i dont know who the others are so obviously im going to go for her "/ umm well thats a tuffie between emma & helena . but i will say that its not that emma cant act & like it has been said she just doesnt act well, its that she for some reason doesnt put enough into hermoine AT TIMES, i mean i couldnt see anyone else playing hermoine but her & helena well i havnet seen sweeny todd but the way she acted in the OoTP she did GREAT & played her part well so who knows. & yay for dan (: he's got my vote & MOST def. where is ruperts recognition? i mean i think he is an AWESOME actor i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE him just as much as dan maybe a bit more , but he def. deserved to be atleast recognized and nominated :/


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jun 14th 2008

I wish them all luck, but all of these kinds of award shows have been turned into popularity contests now. Like, I think Rupert is a better actor than Dan, but he wasn't nominated.


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Jun 14th 2008

yeah Rupert should deffinately be nominated


Posted by halfbloodprincess96 Jun 14th 2008

This is pretty cool, so many harry potter related celebrities being nominated, Rupert deserves a nomination too, he is a really good actor and can play ron really well. {-:}


Posted by Zonkodude76 Jun 14th 2008

cool, any trailer with Hulk?? wasnt informed


Posted by the_shrieking_snack Jun 14th 2008

Coolness. :) I have to say though, they really shouldn't encourage David Yates and his antics......imo. >:)


Posted by trueligth Jun 14th 2008

I hope the winner is Daniel in the actor side for the actress I hope is Emma, sorry Helena but I am with the children this time. But who ever wins is good, I given my vote the 25th too.


Posted by love_u_harry Jun 14th 2008

emma watson being nominated for best actress is a joke. her name and best actress should not be mentioned in the same sentence. she ruined hermione for me.


Posted by trueligth Jun 14th 2008

I 'll do my duty when the poll is post, and also in US for the poll of democracy and all the things for the liberty of choice. GO HARRY!!!


Posted by Slytherin15 Jun 14th 2008

hmm...idk


Posted by Emma_Granger_Rulz Jun 14th 2008

Yay all of the harry potter's!!! I can't believe some of you idiots say that "oh i don't wanna vote for emma or jo coz they don't deserve it". I means what more losers can some of you be. Emma IS A GREAT ACTRESS!!!! And whether you like it or not, billions of people around the world LOVE Emma, they even like her more then rupert and dan!! It's some losers her, decide to comment that "oh, she doesn't act" or something. ARGHHH!! P.s The only reason y i'm using bad language is coz every time emma is nominated, people decide to diss AGAIN. And i'm really sick of it! I swear to god i'm not reading these comments every again...unless I need to!


Posted by merrymarge Jun 14th 2008

Oh, my goodness! How to decide? I like Emma, and Dan, and Rupert, and Neville and The Weasley twins. But they aren't even mentioned. And, I don't know that Dan and Emma do win the awards. It seems to me that they are nominated a lot, but do they win? I am sorry if I am wrong.


Posted by Rose37 Jun 14th 2008

Why have the news up now, when no-one can even vote yet??? Also I hope hp wins!!!


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jun 15th 2008

Emma_Granger_Rulz - Good thing your not reading these anymore. Seems like you can't handle criticism of celebrities well.


Posted by nearly_headless_nick Jun 15th 2008

Congratulatons to Jo and Daniel!! they are the only ones who deserve to win this, in my opinion!


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Jun 15th 2008

i hope Dan,Emma and Jo win...i just also think Rupert should be nominated because i think he's the best actor out of the trio.


Posted by VampireKisses Jun 15th 2008

Dan deserves a nomination - he's a good actor and so does JKR of course. OOTP, meh but I can handle it but I have to agree with everyone, Emma Watson should not get nominated - and I don't think she stands a chance with Helena. She just can't act! But of course EVERYONE knows my stance on this xD If you ask me, she's alot like those Disney stars - pretty and her biggest fanbase is a bunch of silly tweens who don't know any better. I give Rupes credit for all he's been through. And Emma_Granger, everyone has their fans and everyone has their fans, so maybe you could star accepting that alot of people who have actually good tastes in movies and actors don't like her at all. Helena and Rupert owns!


Posted by janegallagher Jun 15th 2008

can anyone explain to me why when Emma Watson comes up, people lose their ability to respect one another's opinions? the fans who hate her and think she's a terrible actress are often just as intolerant and immature sounding as the ones who defend her to the death. have a little dignity people, she's just a teenage girl, not a war criminal OR the second coming.


Posted by Mira Jun 15th 2008

no offense to emma, but she has no chance if she's going against Helena Bonham Carter. The way she played Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd was impeccable. But I hope j.k rowling and dan win :D


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jun 16th 2008

Emma is gorgeous and Rupert should be at least nominated!


Posted by nitrogen Jun 16th 2008

Yeah...Rupert is always left out. Every award they give to Harry Potter for best actor is always given to Dan, not Dan and Rupert, so whats up with that?


Posted by stellarstar Jun 16th 2008

Ummm....not an anti-Emma fan, I actually do like her, but why does she keep getting nominated for "Best Actress" in the HP movies? She has less lines and screen time, especially in the later movies, than Dumbledore. Perhaps "Supporting Actress" but if they give her that honor then why can't Rupert get that acknowledgement either? :( Unfair. Just a popularity contest like some others have stated.


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jun 16th 2008

Usually in the movies, well most movies I've ever seen anyway, they take the leading male role and the leading female role and those are the two that get nominated for the awards and things like that. In the HP films the leads go to Dan and Emma,so ofcourse they are going to get nominated. I'm not going to say that Emma is a bad actress because I couldn't imagine her character being played by anyone else. I think she does a good job playing the part and she goes well with Dan and Rupert . Helena is a good actress too but she not the leading lady in the movie so she should be acknowledged as "best supporting actress" at best. I think the same should go for the actresses that play Luna McGonagall Trelawney and Ginny. I think all of them play their part very well! I still stand firm on the fact that Rupert isn't recognized as much as he should be because he does one hell of a good job playing Ron! Oh and VampireKisses, you need to lighten up. Emma has the role and that


Posted by wicked87 Jun 17th 2008

Can someone please explain to me why Rupert is constantly overlooked and why Emma is constantly nominated? In my opinion, it should be the other way around.


Posted by merlinsYfronts Jun 20th 2008

WHAT ABOUT RUPERT?!?!?!
