J.K ROWLING would choose: ‘Harry, although I believe I am unusual in this, Ron is generally  more popular (I love him too, though) Now that I have finished writing  the books, the character I would most like to meet for dinner is  Dumbledore.  We would have a lot to discuss, and I would  love his advice; I think that everyone would like a Dumbledore in their  lives’ Bloomsbury  Publishing is launching the first official global search to find the  world’s favourite character from the Harry Potter books.
