Hogwarts Herald

The Harry Potter series of books have once again been nominated in the Favorite Books category of Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards. The books were also nominated last year and were the winner last year. I cannot easily locate the older year’s of nominations and winners, so perhaps they have been nominated and won more than just last year. They are up against the Twilight Series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book. Personally, I think it is stupid to have the two Diary of a Wimpy Kid books as separate nominations when the other two nominations were series lumped together. I got to imagine they could have come up with something better, but then again it does seem that the Kid’s Choice Awards are very biased and the show is kind of like a giant commercial rather than a celebration of the great things from the previous year like other television awards shows are.

This is mainly shown in that in many categories the stuff is not from last year, which includes pretty much dead television shows (i.e. some nominated no longer make new episodes) and books not published last year. However, if they did not do that then there would be no Harry Potter nomination this year. I certainly would not be surprised if in 2010 we see the sixth Harry Potter movie as a nominee (perhaps even winner) in the Favorite Movie category and perhaps even an actor or actress or two nominated in the Favorite Movie Actor and/or Favorite Movie Actress categories.

By the way the show will be on Nickelodeon on March 28, 2009, at 8pm Eastern time.
