Yay! Go Jo! Although I don’t know if she pays attention to these things anymore :p I won’t even bother commenting on Dan and Emma cause my experience tells me that people are going to get pretty nasty about them. Just remember that they’re just kids guys.

WOW nice achivement for Dan and Emma..I think we knew JKR was in this list, but good for Emma and Dan to make this list for the first time, and this is not only base on money but also on web hit, media interest, TYV coverage, etc…Dan and Emma fan base outside the fandom is growing fast!!

How is JK only at #48? Surely she should be higher than that especially since with her new book coming out? How much did she rank before? I don’t understand why she’s so low.

Cece, because people love them and are into them, it is because they are getting poweful celebrities by the year, it also has to do with how many people outside the HP world are interested on them, it seems that there are a lot of people that care more about Dan and Emma than Rupert.

Dan gets so much more a movie then Emma. He must be set for life with like one movie.

congrats to Dan and especially Jo (I am suprised she is so low on the ranking too) I’m not suprised with Dan on there being Harry and Alan Strang….but Emma? no offence but she really hasn’t done much has she? (I don’t usually keep up with this stuff…but I haven’t heard much come out of her) I just don’t get how she got that much publicity. I dunno it’s beyond me.

Well, I submitted these news but since they haven’t posted them, here it goes: The Borders newsletter which I am subscribed to, has some videos from an HP ‘book club’ that happened during Phoenix Rising, and which included our favorite trio; the PotterCast trio that it! see it here: http://www.bordersmedia.com/harrypotter/bookclub/default.asp

Enjoy! :-D

Jo deserves it. Dan. I’m not surprised. But why does Emma get so much attention? Has anyone noticed that even in the movies she gets more screentime than Rupert? This is actually one of the reasons they movies disappoint me so much. Ron is my favorite character and I feel like his character has been robbed in the movies by giving Hermione more time and attention. Plus lots of Ron’s really good lines that make his character in the book are left out. It annoys me.

Hmm. Dan and Rupert have both done movies, and Emma’s done a bunch of photoshoots. And yet Emma, not Rupert, is up there? Injustice, anyone?
