ONLINE GRUDGE MATCH
We compare two pop-culture subjects to see which you like better. To be included in next week's tally, vote for your favorite before noon on Monday. This week's match:
HARRY POTTER VS. SOOKIE STACKHOUSE
Wizard extraordinaire Harry Potter is the still-youthful veteran of an entire fantasy-adventure saga. Sookie Stackhouse is just your average wide-eyed, mind-reading Southern girl in the relatively new HBO series "True Blood." Both characters strive to use their powers for good, but sultry, small-town Louisiana is a long way from the academic halls of Hogwarts. Whose approach do you like better?
FAMILY HISTORY
Harry: Orphaned by murderous dark wizard Voldemort, he knows he must someday face this foe in epic battle.
Sookie: Her grandmother was whacked by a serial killer, so she seeks the security of the blood-sucking vampire bar scene.
LOVE LIFE
Harry: Nervous about his blossoming romance with - oh, crikey! - his best friend's sister. Awkward!
Sookie: Hopes her vampire boyfriend won't be too jealous about her one-nighter with the dude who can turn into a dog. (Yes, a dog. Don't judge.)
SUPER POWERS/WEAKNESSES
Harry: Has deadly aim with his magic wand, but can't figure out his dream about the giant snakes.
Sookie: Can hear other people's thoughts, but it's mostly just gossip, weather and grocery lists. Also, can not use contractions.
CAREER GOALS
Harry: Thinking about law school. You know, if he isn't killed in the upcoming battle for world domination and all.
Sookie: Figures she can always go back to being a mind-reading waitress if the whole "social-worker-for-the-undead" thing doesn't work out.
LAST WEEK: Bruno vs. Borat
Our pick: Bruno. He's new, he's fresh, he's accessorized.
Your pick: Borat won with 52 percent of the vote. Nice! High five!
