England: Land of Silly (but oh-so-fun!) Polls.

Jareth_2From the Guardian:

Favourite movie wizards
1. Gandalf (The Lord Of The Rings) 44%
2. Dumbledore (Harry Potter) 17%
3. Harry Potter (Harry Potter) 9%
4. Merlin (The Sword in the Stone) 6%
5. The Wizard of Oz (The Wizard of Oz) 2%

Man, I'd TOTALLY vote for the D&D kid from Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors before I'd vote for the other guys on this list.  He was AWESOME.

If we open it up to book wizards:  I vote for Howl.

Actually, while we're at it, if we open the movie poll up to magic users in general... in that case, I vote for David Bowie's Jareth.  (As long as I avoid looking at his scary silver spandex.)
