Wizardly Women

When Lev Grossman visited Babel Clash, we discussed the most powerful wizards in modern fantasy literature. Who would win the great wizard fight?
Looking back at that conversation, the names mentioned included: Gandalf, Quentin Coldwater, Harry Potter, Raistlin Majere, Richard Rahl, Bayaz, Dr. Strange, Doctor Fate, Pug, Belgarath and Rand al’Thor. All guys.
Where are the women? Who is the paragon of magical might among female characters?

Is Harry going to sweep everyone away?

I got to looking at what’s coming this summer, and though I think Trasformers is going to make a bang, I really think that Harry Potter is going to be the big earner here. Dudes, I’m living with a 50+ HP fan who has got all the movies on BlueRay. You know we’re going to see it. Live it. (grin) But what’s not to love here. We’ve watched little Harry grow up, and I’m ready to see him kick some Mr. V butt. –Kim
