Topping the bill on Hotlist’s Actors & Film chart are Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. While it comes as no shock that Radcliffe, whose portrayals of Harry Potter have made him officially the UK’s richest teenager, has been averaging over 5,700 daily searches, his search success has been almost matched by his co-star Watson.

The 17 year-old actress, who plays Harry’s trusty sidekick Hermione Granger, is enjoying unprecedented online popularity and, with a daily average of 5,506 Live Search look-ups, is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie in the upper echelons of Hotlist’s movie search chart.

But it isn’t just Harry and Hermione commanding your online attention. Co-stars Rupert Grint and Katie Leung, who play Ron Weasley and Cho Chang respectively, have also become unlikely search targets. Meanwhile, overall interest in the movie - which has reportedly taken almost $70 million dollars at the US box office since its release last week – has led to searches for Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixHarry Potter games and Harry Potter movie to rise by over 200%.

Harry’s Hotlist dominance looks set to continue as fans anticipate the release of JK Rowling’s seventh and final Potter book. According to Amazon, pre-order totals for the novel, which reveals Harry’s final fate, have already exceeded 2 million copies. This rabid interest has been reflected online as your daily searches for Harry Potter Book 7 and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows topped the 1,000 mark and show no sign of slowing down.
