If you've been twiddling your thumbs and chewing the woodwork in anticipation of next month's release of the final film in the "Harry Potter" saga, here's a way to take the edge off while you wait: a good, old-fashioned betting pool full of witchy hijinks and wizardly whimsy! The godforsaken gambling addicts fun-loving folks over at MTV Movies Blog have opened up the bracket for voting, and now's your chance to throw in for your favorite characters in the epic battle of the Harry Potter World Cup.
Make no mistake: The actual outcome of the books themselves don't enter into this round of magical dueling. It's anyone's ballgame (or Quidditch match), and it's up to you (yes, YOU!) to determine who triumphs. Could evil Lucius Malfoy out-magic the bumbling Gilderoy Lockhart? Would Neville Longbottom's herbology knowledge give him an edge against Fenrir Greyback? Is anyone a bigger bitchwitch than Bellatrix?! Head over to the Movies Blog to get your vote on!
Could we be in line for an underdog upset, or will Harry still emerge from this wizardly slapfest as the Champion of All The Magic Things? Leave your predictions in the comments!
