As part of their summer movie preview, Yahoo Movies has posted a gallery of 20 great movie creatures. Included on this list is a magical creature familiar to Harry Potter fans: Kreacher, the house elf at Grimmauld Place. Other creatures of note are Gollum from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, ET, Jabba the Hut from Return of the Jedi, the original King Kong from the classic film made in 1933, Asterious the Minotaur from the newly released Prince Caspian, and the Flying Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz (which in this editor’s opinion are still some of the scariest beings ever found in a children’s movie, but it could just be me ;)

Thanks Sasha!

I just noticed the picture on the article cycles through different people… It’s been Luna and Lucious and 2 other people… Heh I’m like “What are they saying about (person on the picture) anyway?”

Someone said before that Kreacher had more dimensions than Dobby.

Yes, but have we seen that in the films? If we are going by the film versions, in comparing Dobby and Kreacher you’d most likely pick Dobby.

The people who don’t read the books might find Kreacher as a choice confusing, whereas it’s understandable for us.. because we know what happens.

Flying monkeys get my vote; I still won’t watch that movie because they are soooooooo scary!!!!

Kreacher is ugly for sure, but hardly even seen in the movie. I think maybe I’d rather see Mrs. Black’s portrait nominated. Now that’s one scary _itch!!!
