Potter actors make Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars of All Time list
Several Harry Potter actors have made Empire magazine's 100 sexiest movie stars of all time list, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Robert Pattinson, and Helena Bonham Carter. Quote:
37. Daniel Radcliffe
He loves cricket, he's got great taste in music, he's absolutely minted... what more do you want? A good body? Well he's got one of them too (did you see Equus? Of course you did). You want more? Well he's a bloody wizard, and a really good one at that, with a couple of potions that'll guarantee you fancy him.
Most alluring as... Young master Strang in Equus. Though it wasn't captured on 35mm, the moment most can't forget is his nudey appearance on stage. Harry Potter. In the nude. Saying it like that it actually sounds very, very wrong.
Interests include... Playing pranks, Fulham football club, cricket and indie rock.

3. Emma Watson
The face that launched a thousand extremely dodgy internet countdown clocks has blossomed with adulthood into an extremely poised, porcelain-fine beauty and something of a fashion icon. Not bad for someone who won't even turn 20 until next April.
Most alluring as... Oh, God, this is so wrong, but it has to be Hermione Granger. We'll say in The Half-Blood Prince, just to be on the safe side. Ron Weasley is one lucky bugger.
Interests include... Being a genuine swot, with GCSEs and A Levels up the wazoo. She also passed her driving test at the first attempt.

8. Alan Rickman
It's good to see that here, amid the chiselled cheekbones and perfectly coiffed heads, is a man who's sexy because he's smart, sarky and has a fine line in put-downs. Sure, everyone loves a bad(ish) boy, but Rickman's rogues' gallery is united by the fact that they're all strangely, unjustifiably sexy. Yes, even greasy-haired Snape. And as for his good guys, they're pretty irresistible.
Most alluring as... For Rickman as a good guy, as deceased cellist Jamie in Truly, Madly, Deeply (if you haven't seen it, it's like Ghost but better). For Rickman as a baddie, it's gotta be Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
Interests include... He's heavily involved in supporting theatre and lots of theatre causes, and holds a vice-chairmanship of RADA.

24. Jason Isaacs
Last time we ran a Sexiest poll, repeat voting by a hard core of Isaacs fans threatened to derail the whole thing. This time, he's in a slightly more sensible position, reflecting both the fact that he's not a hugely well-known leading man and the fact that he's devastatingly charming and handsome. Seriously, show us someone who doesn't fancy him, and we'll show you a corpse.
Most alluring as... Is it wrong that we fancied him as both Lucius Malfoy and Captain Hook in Peter Pan (2003)? It is? OK then, er, David in Friends With Money.
Interests include... Amusing all the Empire staff with scandalous anecdotes every Empire Awards night. Also, raising two children and speaking Spanish.

2. Robert Pattinson
A recent addition to "Sexiest" lists everywhere, Robert Pattinson and his messy mane have won hearts all over the world with his turn as veggie vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga. Those over 25 may roll their eyes, but the combination of plum roles in hit novels (see also: Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), a posh accent, musical ability and that enormous haystack on his head means half the teenage world adores him.
Most alluring as... Gotta be Edward Cullen, with all that restrained passion and the penchant for melting glances.
Interests include... He's also a talented pianist and guitarist, and contributed tracks to the Twilight soundtrack.

9. Helena Bonham Carter
Mrs. Tim Burton may be in her forties now, but she resolutely refuses to be dragged anywhere near 'mumsy'. In fact, even when she's shrieking evilly in the Harry Potter series, or conspiring to turn half of London into tasty pies in Sweeney Todd, Bonham Carter is still possessed of a delightful earthy sexiness.
Most alluring as... The, ahem, complicated Marla Singer in Fight Club, the freeze-frame sex scene, in particular, a world away from genteel costume dramas.
Interests include... Despite describing herself as the 'antichrist of fashion', Bonham Carter is another actress with her own fashion line. In this case, her collaboration with Samantha Sage, is a delightfully dotty collection called The Pantaloonies.
