The eight Harry Potter films have a remarkable running time of 19 hours and 40 minutes (1180 minutes). But Who of all the characters has the most screen time? The top spots shouldn’t surprise anyone, but it’s especially surprising how much or how little of the well-known characters can be seen in the middle of the field when you time them exactly. That’s what fans have done.
Stopped: Who has the longest appearance time in the Harry Potter films?
For a series with the main character’s name in the title, it should come as no surprise that Daniel Radcliffe’s wizard Harry Potter is the clear winner for most scenes and longest screen time. But things get interesting at the back. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, for example, could fill an entire film of his own, while Draco Malfoy only lasts half an hour. The twins Fred and George are also not seen as much and Hagrid is further ahead than expected.

The only question that remains now is whether this ranking of most screen time will be different in the upcoming Harry Potter series. Will the iconic characters be weighted differently there?
