Book Harry Potter>>>>>>>>Movie Harry Potter, and not much for Daniel Radcliffe's fault, but rather due to a poor screen adaptation writing. He is underrated even in his own series and fandom. His loyalty and bravery are acknowledged over and over again, but the guy is the incarnation of post-traumatic growth: despite experiencing the loss of both his parents as a baby and 10 subsequent years of abuse and neglect from his foster parents, he is still able to trust others, enjoy life and welcome changes. Of course he has his insecurities and petty flaws, which make him more relatable. And the movies give us 1/10 of the sassy badass he is in the books. Apart from this, he should have ranked higher just for the cultural impact he had on the last few generations.
