We love both series, as well as the record-breaking movie franchises they inspired, but the question is… which one is your favorite? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

The Harry Potter and The Woman in Black star serves on the youth advisory council for The Trevor Project, the nation’s only 24/7 crisis-intervention and suicide-prevention lifeline for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning young people. “I’ve never been around so many well-informed, articulate, passionate young people,” Radcliffe told InStyle of his involvement, which helps spread the message of tolerance and understanding to prevent suicide through education. “They want to improve the world, and that’s very inspiring. I’m proud every day to be a part of that.” And you can get involved, too!

Ron Weasley’s Harry Potter Transformation

Jul 14, 2011 @ 4:20 pm

Harry Potter fans are gearing up for tonight’s midnight release of The Deathly Hallows Part 2, and we’ve decided to take a look back at 10 years of Ron Weasley’s style! “I have ginger hair,” was Rupert Grint’s simple explanation of how he scored the role. Clearly, the powers-that-be saw more in the young actor than just a convenient hair color—costar Emma Watson even jokingly groused that he only did three auditions to her eleven. Click through the gallery to see Ron Weasley’s Harry Potter transformation!

With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hitting theaters this Friday, July 15th (or a midnight showing on Thursday, if you’re lucky), we’re taking a look back at Emma Watson’s red carpet style—no Time-Turner necessary! In ten years, Watson transformed from 11-year-old red carpet rookie at the Sorcerer’s Stone premieres to an all-out style superstar. Click “See the Photos” to see how her premiere style has evolved. It’s a transformation even the pickiest transfiguration professor would be proud of.
