Top Ten Best Actors In the Harry Potter Series

He had the best background story and twists in the movie, plus GREAT acting. He never made the audience feel like he's acting or that he's out of character, he made them actually believe that he is truly Snape.
I'm sure he won the love of many in his last part of the series.
Absolutely deserves to be No.1 in regards of character and acting!

Alan Rickman played Severus Snape to perfection. His body language and Mannerism's during his scenes as Snape were impeccable and a joy to behold. The manner in which he used his voice as Snape was marvellous. You can tell he really thought about how Snape would behave in each scene and obviously he was so convincing that even the child actors admitted they eere terrified of him because he would not break character.

A lot of the actors in Harry Potter are great, but I had to choose Snape because while yes I hate the character Rickman was able to portray him so smoothly and effortlessly that he practically was Snape. Not only that but J.K. Rowling herself picked him to be Snape and from critics reviews on the Harry Potter films I heard no complaints on Rickman's portrayal of Snape at all.

I thought Emma captured this character completely. She (a confident and attractive girl) played a girl not at ease with her looks, showing Hermiones strength and insecurities perfectly. She gave a character, who could have come off as super human and unapproachable a humanity and grace. She stole the show making Hermione the main character from the first movie to the last.

Emma is always an incredible actress, but I feel like she did an especially amazing job with Hermione. She fitted her personality almost exactly and captured her spirit and her thirst for knowledge. Not only that, Emma also made Hermione a true Gryfinddor, one who was willing to risk her life for her cause. Emma all the way

I perfectly love Emma and Hermione- but don't you think that Hermione is not Emma in her looks? I mean, Emma is like, the prettiest woman in the world. Hermione's really ordinary- so I think a person with bushier hair and bigger teeth would be better.

How is Emma Watson higher than this wonderful actress? Only person deserving of a spot higher is Alan Rickman. Her portrayal as the psychotic sadistic witch Bellatrix was awe inspiring.

She must have had sooo much fun on the set, playing demented Bellatrix and walking on table and going "Whoopee" when Bellatrix sets Hagrid's house on fire. Siriusly, I want to walk on tables and crash plates. And she played her so well, I loved the "Ickle baby Potter" line so much.

It's the first time I liked Bellatrix. Although I don't like the character, l liked how she acted Bellatrix. She acted like the Bellatrix in the books.

This is the best, in my opinion.

I like Sirius black

I can never even dream of anybody else as Harry Potter, not because of his looks, he owned his character, and he knew exactly how to behave so that he is the closest to his character. He didn't have the stature of an action hero, still with his expression and perfect dialogue throw, he was able to portray Harry perfectly. I am sure nobody else thinks that anyone else is suitable as Harry

I think he is the most best actor in looks and acting. I just have a dream of meeting Daniel in New York. No body can beat him he is the best. I love you Daniel.

I am basically in love with Daniel Radcliffe and I truly believe that he played his part wonderfully! It would not have been the same without him!

She had a minor part but she played it very well to the end. One of the lines I loved is when she said "I've always wanted to say that spell" or such, it was out of character as McGonagall but it was a good "out of character" situation. I personally liked both her acting and character played in the movie.

She is just amazing , she deserves thousands of awards and she is the best actress in Harry Potter and I am so happy that she got the part as she deserved it !

She played McGonagall so well!

Out of the young actors I feel Rupert Grint is the most underappreciated and underrated actor. Not only is he a cool person in real life he was the best actor out of the trio. He was the only one who could act in the first few films and his comedic timing and delivery was more than good in all of them. Daniel Radcliffe often couldn't express subtle emotions in the face especially in the earlier films. Emma Watson often overacted, relying too much on her eyebrows to convey emotions but Rupert played Ron perfectly. You only had to see his face he was feeling sad, admiration, jealously. Frustration, anger etc. In any scene Too bad the movies gave all his good lines and traits to Hermione.

Definitely the best actor of the golden trio. Watson tries too hard while Radcliffe tries too little. Rupert is truly immersed in his role, and despite the fact that Ron was done dirty in the movies, he's still the best character thanks to Rupert's acting

Tom Felton is responsible for making one the the most hated characters in the books the most loved in the fandom. Next to Rupert he is the best out of the child actors and probably the most talented. He improvised one of the best lines in the movies (Chamber of Secrets when he found out Goyle can read) and made Draco charming when he is a complete git in the books. He is also one of the nicest people in real life ironically. He should of had more screentime in the movies though.

Did you notice he hardly had any lines in the sixth film? Yet he changed everyone's perception of Draco just with his expressions and his mannerisms. Some of the best acting is wordless; Tom owned his role.

Felton is ridiculously good from the first film on. It's more than incredible that his talents have not been more widely recognized considering the critical and fan acclaim these films have garnered.

Matthew Lewis is underrated as Neville. He captured Neville really well.

Same with the other 6

I kinda feel bad that Jason Isaacs is underrated in terms of praise for the Harry Potter franchise. He did a good job and when I looked him up he sounded like a pretty cool dude. If I hadn't voted for Alan Rickman my vote would've either gone to Maggie Smith or him.

He is my favourite actor from the movies. Watch him in Chamber of Secrets when he meets Hermione. You can just see the contempt and hautiness in his face even though he is being nice to her. It is the subtle acting that made him play Lucius brilliantly.

Jason Isaacs is a phenomenal actor, and he seriously was perfect for this role - it's only fair that Draco Malfoy, back when he was just an annoying little villain, was raised by Captain Hook!

This is the best person ever like how is Scrimgeour higher. Yes, Nighy is a great actor, but this is only Harry Potter.

Luna was my favorite character and I love how calm and mysterious Evanna Lynch portrayed her as!

At the beggining of the fifth she is a bit awkward, but plays to her best ability as she grows in the wizard img world.

Good... pretty nice

He is awesome

Are you kidding me? She is one of the worst actresses in the movie. She could not even fake attraction for Harry/Dan. She made Ginny this boring character with no personality while in the books she is completely different and very pretty too.

Honestly, in the sixth when she said, " yes nosy" and her lines in that scene, the acting could've been better. But overall I think she is one of the best characters.

She is beautiful! I think she and harry were the best couple ever!

The best Albus Dumbledore. He captured Dumbledores quiet charm and wisdom. When I imagine Dumbledore in the books I see him.

I think Richard Harris seemed exactly like Albus Dumbledore and showed the Hogwarts heads compassion, bravery and overall goodness in the Harry Potter films

Sad when he died

The second best acting performance after Snape.

While his part was minor he's an amazing actor!

I thought he captured Dumbledore's essence excellently.
