Ready. Set! Go!

Well, looking at the current ranking, it's hardly listed by the influence.
More like who got the most fanboys on the Interweb.

    Rowling has, if nothing else, encouraged a very large part of an entire generation to take up reading again, which is arguably more significant for the future of humankind than a lot of the nonsense that gets touted around as 'influential' ( cf: bono ).

    More like influenced a whole new generation to read Harry Potter. Then watch the movies and buy the LEGO sets and play the video games.

    Haha, it has to be Stephen Colbert for the simple reason that he will brag about it on the show forever <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
