The Forbes Fictional 15 list has been released and Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter books was on the list at #14 and Gringotts bank was #22 in Largest Fictional Companies.

#14 Lucius Malfoy
Net Worth: $1.6 billion
Patriarch of ancient wizarding family still standing after defeat of Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Malfoy, himself a convicted criminal and Azkaban prison escapee, miraculously managed to avoid being sent back to jail thanks to well-timed “donations” to charities supported by influential Ministry of Magic employees. Now reunited with family and unfettered by criminal charges, Malfoy is aggressively pursuing new business enterprises. In June, attempted to corner the global cauldron market. In August, sold short more than $1 billion worth of Galleons, forcing Gringotts Bank to devalue and withdraw the currency from the Wizardly Exchange Rate Mechanism. Member since 2005.

#22 Gringotts
Headquarters: London, England
Industry: Financial Services
CEO: Borgnuk
Est. 2007 sales: $4.4 billion
Reputation of Goblin bank left in tatters after successful break-in and burglary from one of its most highly secured vaults. Revelations that the theft was masterminded by Harry Potter (a.k.a. “The Boy Who Lived”) fail to reassure customers concerned that the bank’s much-ballyhooed security was compromised by mere children.

Newsweek magazine has named “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” their Best Book of 2007. They wrote (beware of a SPOILER in the little paragraph, it is in brackets if you dont want to read that part):

You could call it the most satisfying ending to a guessing game since the casting of Scarlett O’Hara. The seventh and final installment of the Potter series went in no radical directions [Harry didn’t die], but Rowling made it look effortless when she niftily tied off one plot line after another. The kids who grew up on these novels–and therefore can’t help but take them somewhat for granted–have no idea how lucky they are.

This is kind of random, but it amused me. The dictionary.com word of the day today is:

draconian: excessively harsh; severe.

Woohoo for Draco, that does fit him well, doesnt it?
