Ever wondered which characters got the most screentime in the Harry Potter movie series? You might be surprised, because some of those characters got much more love in the Movies than in the books! Of course, the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter himself, took the top spot by a landslide. But some of the supporting cast might just shock you.
Who else had their faces in the Movies the most besides the titular boy wizard? The list surprised even the most hardcore fans, and some of it doesn't make sense when compared to the books. Did you know Luna Lovegood, who first appears in the fifth movie, actually got more screen time than some really key characters?
Of course, we've got to mention that most of the big screen time goes to the central characters: Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Dumbledore, and Snape. You know those guys get a lot of face time in the movies! It's important to point out that they're the most central characters to the plot.
A lot of the Harry Potter fandom has wondered about this! What makes the books so compelling and interesting is how many characters have so much more backstory and their role is so central to the world. Sadly, some of the characters in the movies have much shorter appearances than their book counterparts, and we've been wondering, ever since, about how this played out!
Well, everyone wants more information on the new TV series from HBO Max about the wizarding world, right? Most of the fan hopes are focused on seeing more of these great, yet overlooked, characters. Now that it has eight seasons to play out with, this TV series could expand those stories to explore some of the Harry Potter characters that never had enough screen time in the films! And we think that will bring about a brand-new world of content that will enthrall us and let us take another dive into the Potterverse.
