In this preview of one of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 Blu-Ray extras, the Boy Who Finished His Saga expounds on his theory: that Potter is richer than both Star Wars and Star Trek.
Put your headphones on, because this supercut of movie characters—in films like Terminator 2, Toy Story, Mars Attacks and Transformers—telling each other to shut up is most definitely not safe for work.
Sorry, Hermione—you're not everyone's favorite Harry Potter character are all. Because after 70,000 votes were cast in a survey run by Bloomsbury, the books UK publisher, 20% of the votes went to ... Severus Snape!

If you made your own commercial Star Wars movie now (we're not talking those fan films), George Lucas would eat your lunch. But it wasn't always that way. In fact, under earlier copyright law, the 1977 film A New Hope would have apparently lost protection in 2005. So how did we get here?
