Entertainment Weekly has a list of the 20 All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture and Harry Potter has made the list at number 4!  He was beaten by Superman, Indiana Jones (WOOOO!) and James Bond.  Also on the list are some of my favorites: Han Solo, Nancy Drew, Spiderman and Batman.

4. HARRY POTTERWHY HIM: Orphaned, cast out, and in the throes of adolescent hormonal revolt, J.K. Rowling’s boy wizard (played by Daniel Radcliffe on screen) is the embodiment of the corny bumper sticker: Why be normal?
MOST HEROIC MOVE: Obliterating Voldemort by deploying his secret weapons: love, loyalty, and the good ol’ Expelliarmus.
BIGGEST WEAKNESS: Misses his mommy and daddy.
