Rowling receives unique Lego portrait
Over 48,000 bricks were used to create a lego mosaic of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling at the Legoland Windsor theme park. Rowling won the honor after landing first place in a poll looking for the "ultimate hero" of the past ten years. Local children were an integral part of putting the mosaic together."At Legoland, we actively encourage imagination and creativity and believe in making the children the heroes – just as Rowling does in her stories."
Other notable Potter stars who made top 10 in the poll were Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) at No. 8 and David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr.) at No. 9.
Thanks to Snitch Seeker for the tip!

wow, fancy and cool! I didn't know they could make legos so realistic.
SWEEEET! looks real too!
yay jo!
awesome, it looks like a real picture
Wow, How cool is that? Looks great!!!!
trippy..... hehe: )
Wow!! 'nuff said.
Wow! That looks really cool and really real! Must have been some hard work....awesome! And MuggleNet, how you have to log in every 3 hours to post comments is kind of annoying...can that be changed to like 6 hours or something, if possible? Thanks!
Wow that's really cool! I'm always amazed at what people can do with Legos and creativity! And that's a cool honor for Jo!
That's seriously amazing!!! Whoever did this must be very talented. Wow...JK Rowling definitely deserves it! And that's such a pretty picture of her!
One of the more weird perks of being a best selling author. She must've been like "erm, riiight..." when they told her they were going to do it.
Wow...that's pretty amazing--a little odd--but amazing.
I would of put David Tennant higher. He's been the best Dr Who ever!
wow. cool!
THAT IS FREAKIN' AWSOME!!! I was watching mythbusters and they had made a million brick ball roll down a hill and fail catastrophically. I LOVE LEGO. (I wish I had 48,000 bricks :-)
That's so unbelievably cool!
That's so unbelievably cool!
so darn cool! and so much better then another award
That is bizarre, and yet awesome. I would be flattered.
I wouldn't have done David Tennant, Luke, beacuse he's too self-engrossed! he's not a good Doctor who, and the new series is far too much aboutromance. a 900 year old and a 20 year old? but anyway, this is a harry potter site, so I'll just say...well done, Jo? quite a strange thing, I'll be sure to see it next time I'm down south!
a portrait out of legos?? sick!!! she deserves it !
