If your guess was Harry Potter, then guess again.

In a poll carried out by the cinema advertising company, Pearl & Dean, found that Harry Potter came in third with only 9% of votes out of 3,000 movie fans. The overwhelming winner was the white-haired wizard from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gandalf, with 44% of the votes. And coming in second was Harry Potter’s wizard teacher, Prof Albus Dumbledore.

So, being a boy wizard doesn’t instantly make you popular. Think Harry Potter needs to grow some facial hair before he can usurp the top two in the poll.
