Radagast-Aiwendil Gondor Sep 28 2012, 7:45pm Views: 1098 Who is your favourite Witch/Sorceress? Following from yesterday's poll, who is your favourite female witch/sorceress/spellcaster? Note: Once again, Tolkien characters are NOT allowed. This means that characters who fit into this category (such as Galadriel), cannot be used. Once again the options are generally only some of the most well known witches, so your preferences are highly valued! "Radagast is, of course, a worthy wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue, and he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds are especially his friends."-Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings.

FaramirAndEowynMorningStar Rohan Sep 28 2012, 7:57pm Views: 530 Hard decision Hermione Granger I would say... Lamia from Stardust is also one of my favourites. ......"Since the first time I met you, ..I couldn't seem to forget you. .......And lately I seem to find, ..That you're always on my mind. .......Whenever I see you smile, ..It makes my life so very worthwhile. ......And ever since the very start, ..You have always been there in my heart. ..Then I heard that you felt the same way, ........................................................................And those words were so easy to say."

Aunt Dora Baggins Immortal Sep 28 2012, 8:28pm Views: 525 I voted for McGonagall, but I'm also very partial to the Glinda in the Oz books (not the one from the movie or the one from Wicked). But I love McGonagall because she reminds me of me :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket. Dora was Drogo's sister, and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A Chance Meeting at Rivendell" and other stories leleni at hotmail dot com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aunt Dora Baggins Immortal Sep 28 2012, 8:33pm Views: 565 Oh, dang, I forgot Pratchett's witches! I love them all, but especially Granny Weatherwax and Tiffani Aching. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket.

Escapist Gondor Sep 28 2012, 8:58pm Views: 504 Samantha Stephens I like a "light touch" on magic use - and I like to see witches 'getting on with every day' life rather than having life revolve around magic. I think it is a sign of a stable, strong (and subtly clever) person if they can stay mostly 'under the radar' and fit into life well in spite of some kind of magical association they might have. http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0046058/

Magpie Immortal Sep 28 2012, 9:04pm Views: 498 can't pick a favorite these three would tie: Morgaine Minerva McGonagall Molly Weasley LOTR soundtrack website ~ magpie avatar gallery TORn History Mathom-house ~ Torn Image Posting Guide

Otaku-sempai Immortal Sep 28 2012, 9:06pm Views: 607 Granny Weatherwax... ...of Lancre, Discworld. 'Thus spake Ioreth, wise-woman of Gondor: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known.' - Gandalf the White

Aunt Dora Baggins Immortal Sep 28 2012, 9:20pm Views: 583 I love Granny Weatherwax!

Spencissimus Lorien Sep 28 2012, 10:01pm Views: 537 Nimue (from the myth rather than any film or tv show) What I particularly love about her is her relationship with Merlin, & how it is her that brings about his imprisonment in the glass tower

Donry Tol Eressea Sep 29 2012, 1:04am Views: 566 I love Bellatrix... and Helena Bonham-Carter does just a fantastic job with that character. I wish there was more of her. What's the matter, James? No glib remark? No pithy comeback?" www.onesecondleft.com @RDon1secleft http://donryfetor.blogspot.com/ @DonryFetor

Magpie Immortal Sep 29 2012, 1:59am Views: 551 I knew her as Niniane in the Mary Stewart novels yes. good choice. LOTR soundtrack website ~ magpie avatar gallery TORn History Mathom-house ~ Torn Image Posting Guide

DanielLB Immortal Sep 29 2012, 8:05am Views: 473 I voted Jadis The Magician's Nephew is the first book I remember reading by myself as a child (and having to do homework on it)! Want Hobbit Movie News? Hobbit Headlines of the Week!

zarabia Tol Eressea Sep 30 2012, 1:59am Views: 473 Voted McGonagall, but... I also love Hermione, Molly Weasley, and Luna Lovegood from HP. But you also can't beat Terry Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax with her "headology," and Nanny Ogg (This post was edited by zarabia on Sep 30 2012, 2:00am)

Annael Immortal Oct 1 2012, 3:33pm Views: 477 Granny Weatherwax!  Who else could move an entire kingdom ahead in time? Her apprentice Tiffany Aching is pretty impressive too. Not many witches can face down the Queen of the Fae at 11 years old.

diedye Grey Havens Oct 1 2012, 6:34pm Views: 478 Queen Bavmorda... ... from "Willow".... she just oozes evil. Blessed are the cracked, For they are the ones who let in the light!

dubulous Rohan Oct 1 2012, 8:11pm Views: 866 My vote is on Bellatrix too. "She was a witch, as Harry knew, with prodigious skill and no conscience." Just the way I like it.
