First up: the candidates. I'll introduce the elves, my personal favorites, first. The good things about elves are as follows: they are like upgraded humans, they live for a very long time, they speak a cool and exotic language, and they are generally known for their speed and skills. On the other hand, there are the wizards. They rock because: they have all sorts of magic up their sleeves, most good fantasy stories have at least one wizard (or witch) in them, they actually are humans, and one word: Dumbledore.
Next, I'd like to say thanks to all the people who participated in my survey. I was very grateful when you took me seriously, and also a little bit surprised because I didn't get any questions regarding the survey. Everyone I asked just considered the choices and answered. So thanks, people, for making it relatively easy.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: the results!
Out of all 50 people who were surveyed, nine were undecided, twenty-one were for the wizards, and the other twenty agreed with me and voted for the elves. And because this is the website of a starving poet, and because the wizards did win, I present you with this:
Wizards
With magic up his sleeves,
and a feather in his cap,
on round, green doors,
with his staff he does tap.
A head of bushy hair,
and a loving, kindly heart.
Our favorite young witch
is impossible to out-smart.
And last but not least
comes the best of them all.
with words like oddment, tweak and blubber,
he heads Hogwarts Hall.

Congratulations, wizard-lovers! you've won (for now).
Thanks for listening!
