JR Late Night Fictional Celebrities of the Year 2011

---

JR releases his first-ever Fictional Celebrities of the Year list; and Harry Potter leads it. It has been a decade of Harry Potter; and it can be rightfully named that Harry Potter will have the title Fictional Celebrity of the Year 2011 as it is the year when his adventures and stories finally ended. This might be his first and final appearance in this type of list as a lot of new fictional characters who are contenders for next year's #1 spot are emerging like those coming from The Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games novels. On the other hand, the list was dominated by popular TV fiction characters with nine entries namely Peter Griffin (#2), Dr. House (#3), Walden Schmidt (#6), Homer Simpson (#7), Chuck Bass (#8), Will Schuester (#9), Kurt Hummel (#12), Spongebob Squarepants (#13), and Mickey Mouse (#20). We also have two entries from the video game industry - Samantha from Cityville (#15) and Captain Alex Mason from Call of Duty: Black Ops (#11). Only one notorious Halloween character made this year's list. John Kramer, who was recently named JR's Fictional Celebrity of Halloween 2011, enters this year's list at #5. This is JR's first-ever list so all fictional celebrities are treated as New Members in JR's Fictional Celebrities of the Year list. It's now the time for all of fiction's elite celebrities to be revealed.

Though he is not anymore into wizarding, he is now venturing social media where he trains various individuals placed in either Gryfindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff in proper potion making, wand fighting, and spells acting in a website named as Pottermore. Though it is speculated that this will be his first and final appearance in JR's Fictional Celebrities of the Year lists, Harry Potter has indeed left a big indelible mark in the world of fiction."

Are music alter-ego characters the next big thing?
After two months of having movie characters dominating the list, two Lady Gaga alter-egos, three video game figures, and five TV fictional characters made this months list. Due to low publicity last month, Harry Potter drops to number two and Lady Gaga's male alter-ego Jo Calderone takes the top spot. This probably might mark the end of the Harry Potter era and the start of the Alter-Ego era. One surprising entry to this month's list was that of Bella Goth, one of Sims main characters. After the success of The Sims Social in Facebook, Bella Goth might ultimately defeat Samantha in terms of being the Most Popular Facebook Game Character. Also, Walden Schmidt, the new Two and a Half Men character made the list. He debut alongside with Peter Griffin, the Family Guy, and Captain Alex Mason, the captain in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Will Schuester returns while Captain Jack Sparrow, Mickey Mouse, and Kathy Beth Terry drops off this month's list. Will September bring us the biggest changes in Fictional Celebrity history?

About Dobby The House Elf

Dobby was a house-elf who served the Malfoy family. His masters were Dark Wizards who treated him cruelly. In 1992, he tried to warn Harry Potter of the plot to have the Chamber of Secrets reopened which he came to know via the contact between his masters and Lord Voldemort. Dobby had to keep punishing himself because he felt he was disobeying his masters. At the end of that school year, after Harry had vanquished the memory of Tom Riddle and the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, he tricked Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby by placing his own black sock into the diary of Tom Riddle; this was rudely handed to Dobby.

Following Dumbledore's death, Fawkes sang his Lament over the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and then left, never to be seen again. His tail feathers were the cores of the two twin wands which were held by Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. Fawkes has crimson feathers on his body and a golden tail as long as a peacock's. His claws and beak are gleaming gold and his eyes are black. The scarlet body feathers glow faintly in darkness, while the golden tail feathers are hot to the touch.
