J.K. Rowling

Joanne Rowling, aka J.K. Rowling, went from rags to riches after coming up with the idea for the Harry Potter series on a train in 1990. Her first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published in June 1997. Ask any questions dealing with the author herself, but please place Harry Potter questions in their designated category.

Who is the most evil dark wizard ever?

Harry Potter fans would cite He-who-must-not-be-named. I personally think the evilest dark wizard ever is Charlie Sheen.

According to novelist J K Rowling the most evil dark wizard was 'He who shall not be named' AKA Lord Voldemort.

But then, if we go by J.R.R. Tolkien, the answer would be Sauron.
