The Harry Potter film series finally wrapping up this July, and while we're a tad sad to bid adieu to the witches and wizards we grew to love, we're pretty grateful for all the eye candy they've given us the past 10 years. Yes, it's been a decade since the first film came out, and we've seen many of Harry Potter's male characters transition from squeaky-clean young children to ruggedly handsome young men (need some proof? Pop in your past Harry Potter DVDs and spot a rosy-cheeked Robert Pattinson battling a dragon). To celebrate Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 opening this July 14, we decided to give props to the guys of Harry Potter.
Neville Longbottom (played by Matthew Lewis) Over the past few years, we've seen nerds morph from totally-undatable to the "ultimate catch". Good thing Neville grew out of his pudgy stage just in time to savor it! Neville may have started out a klutzy coward, but he's changed into a brave little soldier who would stop at nothing to help Harry and the gang. It's also good to know that in order to play Neville, actor Matthew Lewis has to wear yellow and crooked teeth, shoes that are two sizes too big, and props behind his ears to make them bigger—so at least we know he doesn't look like that in real life.
Is super loyal, courageous, and confident = 90
Doesn't help with the stereotype that the English don't visit the dentist = -30
Hotness Score: 60
Draco Malfoy (played by Tom Felton) When Draco first graced the silver screen, we had "Home Alone" flashbacks: here was a cute, young blond boy who always seemed to get into trouble. Now he's grown into a tall, mean, Harry and Friends-hating machine, just waiting to show the Death Eaters what he's made of. (Or not) The resident leader of the "Mean Boys" club at Hogwarts, Draco is your run-of-the-mill brown-noser with the rich daddy who got him whatever he wanted.
Overconfident prickiness = -40
A bad boy with an overwhelming desire to just be accepted (much like a 2-month old puppy) = 90
Score: 50
Cedric Diggory (played by Robert Pattinson) Sure, Cedric only appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but fans were already giddy to find out who was cast to play the famed "tall and extremely handsome Hufflepuff Seeker".
Lo and behold, it was a young Robert Pattinson, rosy-cheeked and 10 times more refreshing than a tall drink of Edward Cullen. Cedric was the ideal campus crush: not only was he easy on the eyes, but he was extremely polite, played fair (he offered to replay a Quidditch match when he found out Harry fell off his broom because of dementors), and was generally nice to everyone.
Tall, handsome, and super nice = 100
Quick, uneventful death under the killing curse = -15
Score: 85
Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint) So Ron's a bit whiny, a tad slow, and he's deathly afraid of spiders. But how can we not love Harry's BFF, who finally got girls around the world to give redheads a chance? Ron's super devoted to his family, and would give anything up for his friends (especially Hermione). Sure, he's had his lapses in judgment, like the time he left Harry and Hermione to look for the Horcruxes on their own. But he's proven himself a loyal pal so many times, we'll forgive him. We love that we've seen him grow with the right balance of awkward and adorable—and that he'll finally get his lady love in the end!
Fierce loyalty to his family and friends = 100
The capacity to scream like a little girl = - 30
Score: 70
Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) Do we even need to explain why? We've seen this guy transform from the round-faced, cute little boy that we wanted to bring home like a puppy from a pet store to a tall, chiseled young man with abs that we want to bring home like, um, a guy from the bar. Despite growing up with awful relatives, Harry turned into the loyal, brave, and loving guy we've all come to know and love.
