17 ‘Harry Potter’ stars, ranked from least to most successful

“Harry Potter” is a phenomenon that endures, 29 years after “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” was first published in the UK.

That book series has turned into a behemoth that contains theme parks, a studio tour, multiple giant stores, a VR experience, conventions, a Broadway play, reality shows, and more.

But at the center of that media giant are the eight theatrical films, which began with a group of preteen actors whose lives were completely transformed when they became pupils at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

And now, a new set of actors is taking the baton.

HBO just released a new trailer for its “Harry Potter” series, which premieres on December 25.

Ahead of this new crew of child actors joining the Wizarding World, we’ve ranked the child stars from the original film series from least to most successful, taking into account factors such as subsequent film appearances, awards, and social media followings.
