A poll conducted to mark the UK's Sci-Fi Channel's 10th anniversary has named Harry Potter the greatest
screen fantasy hero of all time. Potter beat out Spiderman, Doctor Who, Han Solo, Neo from The Matrix, Spock, Yoda and Batman.
The Daleks from Dr. Who toped the list of villains, followed by The Joker, The Terminator from the first Terminator film, Predator, Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon, Lex Luther and Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Wow. That's crazy. I can't say that I agree with the choice of Harry over all of that competition, but it's still quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!

I think Harry deserves it, then again I never did like Batman and those other traditional super heroes, the only one I would have voted for was Yoda. It's pretty cool that Harry beat out Yoda.

O.K. maybe Harry Potter is the best hero. Maybe. But I take serious objection to Darth Vader not being on the villian list! Come on!! Hal? But no Vader?

I have to agree. Harry Potter is the best fantasy hero ever. Harry Potter should be the best in the USA. I wonder which one it is here?

Wow, that's great for Harry Potter! I completely agree with the choice.
Though I'm disappointed that dear Voldy wasn't at the top of the villain list.

far as I'm concerned, he's the best fantasy hero in the US too. So much better than the animated-foul-mouthed punks hollywood churns out

It's quite a wonderful achievement. Though there have been many hero's within our times, JKR has identified Harry Potter as our [i] Modern everyday hero, whose convictions and hopes for those he loves, drive him to do great things! [i]

Oh! Yay! Even though I do love Han Solo too... But it's okay, he can be number two. Or they can both share number one in my heart... ;P
