Daniel Radcliffe Vs Emma Watson Vs Rupert Grint: Who is the Most Popular Harry Potter Movie Star?
All three stars of Harry Potter are immensely popular and all three have for the most part avoided controversy that could easily have come their way with fame and fortune. But one of the three stars is far more popular than the other two. Do you know which one?
Here are search results from Internet websites which show how popular the three Harry Potter stars are, how often their names are searched for and how many videos are linked to their names on YouTube.
Emma Watson - 102 million results
Daniel Radcliffe - 8 million results
Rupert Grint - 3.2 million
In the Google Search Engine beautiful Emma Watson has so many more results than either Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert Grint do it's almost embarrassing. And it must be a great embarrassment to both Radcliffe and Grint though Radcliffe still has twice as many results as Grint.
Google AdWords Keyword Tool
Emma Watson - 3.4 million global monthly searches
Daniel Radcliffe - 673,000 global monthly searches
Rupert Grint - 246,000
The Google AdWords Keyword Tool shows how often a word or in this case a person's name is searched for on a global monthly basis. Once again Emma Watson comes out on top as she is searched for 5 times as much as Radcliffe and almost 14 times as much as Grint.
YouTube
Emma Watson - 169,000 results
Daniel Radcliffe - 8,660
Rupert Grint - 6,090
The results from YouTube are perhaps the most shocking of all. Emma Watson is linked to over 20 times more videos that either Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert Grint. That is hard to believe since all three have not done much work beyond Harry Potter yet. For Watson to be linked that many more times with roughly the same body of work as the other two speaks volumes about her popularity.
Results
Without any question the real star from the Harry Potter movie series is beautiful Emma Watson. She is searched for far more often, linked to far more videos and has far more Google search results on the Internet than either of her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert Grint.
Why is this so? As the movie series has progressed through the years we have all watched Emma Watson grow into a beautiful woman while Daniel Radcliffe has grown into a young Gary Burghoff (Radar O'Reilly from M.A.S.H. fame) and Rupert Grint into a real-life version of Fry from the animated Futurama TV show.
The results also bode well for the future career of Emma Watson and bode badly for both Radcliffe and Grint. In all likelihood the roles of Harry Potter for Radcliffe and Ron Weasley for Grint will be all these two will ever be known for. Emma Watson though will likely go on to do other memorable work in her acting career.
What the popularity results really mean is that Emma Watson has already moved beyond Harry Potter. When people see her they see Emma Watson not Hermione Granger. With Daniel Radcliffe people will always see Harry Potter and with Rupert Grint they will always see Ron Weasley.

Post a CommentThat is so wrong that Rupert will be just known as Ron.So damn wrong.He did the most Movies,worked the most for Movies and the Author is not right,wtf
What does have Youtube and Google to do with a Career?Like someone said already:Does someone even know that many Youtube User are using for Hermione x Ron Videos Emmas Name in the Tag?And People are pairing Hermione with almost everyone in HP.
This whole Article is so wrong.One Reason more why Emma got more Google Searchs is that she has a Homepage and is now on Twitter and FB and is the only one leading Actress in HP.
Don't know who maked this,Article,I don't really know the Person,but it's all wrong.Really People stop saying someone who has the most Youtube or Google Searchs will have the biggest Career.It can all change after HP.Btw I don't even found 169 000 Youtube Searchs from Emma
If you google Emma's name and look fo rnews or whatever, you get loads of articles having nothing to do about her. It's because there's someone with her first name and someone else with her last names. She happens to have the most common names. Daniel is a common name but articles also come up under "Dan" that don't pop up under Daniel, believe it or not. there are also many mispellings of Radcliffe or shortenings of it. Grit has the most unusual name nor is it easily shortened , so his numbers are very likely right.
Normally I would Never stoop so low as to comment on an article such as this. But I have to as Rupert has been my friend for 10 years now and he is a Great actor. When he had Swine Flu on the set he acted as if he was fine and very nearly infected us all!
- Em
Evie, sounds like you know all three since you are on a first name basis with them. Please ask them for me why Emma Watson is by far the most popular of the three. Be interesting to hear their take on it and since by your tone you know them so well I'm looking forward to their answers.
(continued because my comment is too long for one post)
A caricature is a funny representation of ourselves.
So it's actually ok to liken Rupert to Fry. However it's the tone in which you delivered that that irks me. You must be butt ugly to be so jealous of him. Yeah, both boys are very close to Emma and they will be friends forever. Not to mention that they will forever interact with each other. Just get over it!

"Fry from the animated Futurama TV show."
I see the resemblance, NOT!
I really don't care for most of what you've said here. In reality it is only your opinion, even if you did go through all the hard work of searching the search engines, that only proves that like Marie said, Emma is linked to just about everyone in HP. The rest about the brilliant acting career she will have, that remains to be seen, just as much as it remains to be seen for Rupert and Dan.
My only problem is your comment about Rupert resembling Fry. You know Rupert himself would probably draw a caricature of himself very similar to Fry, I mean caricatures are very funny looking anyway. It's t
An excellent write
Amulya, I never said your precious Rupert has no career outside of Potter. I said that is all he will ever be remembered for. People will always see him and say Ron Weasley. Sean Penn has had a brilliant acting career but to most moviegoers he will always be Jeff Spicoli.
Someone said 2009 after HBP Movie "I appreciated Rupert Grint for the first time. To me, he’s always been “that other guy” in the Potter movies, but he truly steps forward in this edition and, if he keeps it up, he could be the one of the three getting the best parts a decade from now"
and you must know that many People,who are making Ron/Hermione Videos are writing Emma Watson,Rupert Grint in the Tags on Youtube too and People are pairing Hermione with Draco,Fred,Harry,Krum too.there are many other Videos of Emma too,but you must count these Pairings Videos and Trailer,BTS of of HP too
Emma is the only Girl of the Trio,so it's not really a Suprise at google etc.If there would be a second Main Girl,it would be different maybe.
It's not fair to write bad about Rupert and Dan,they are doing with the most .Emma got more Results in the Web,but that has nothing to do with a Career.That shows just interessts
The author is right. Grint has done the most work outside Harry Potter but 99.9% only know him from Potter. He'll never be known as anything but Ron Weasley.
