Oh, am I glad *this* list was started up!  Before I post my thoughts 
on the matter, I must let all of you know that I am very much aware of 
reality and in reality, I have a boyfriend who I believe is the best 
looking, most athletic, funniest, best to talk to, and sexiest man out 
there... but thank God he doesn't read HPFGU.

after listing a few ho-hum entries, Kristini nailed it with:

Damn right!  Here's my list:
1. Harry
2. Harry
3. Harry 
4. Harry...

You get the idea.  Let me tell all of you why I think Harry himself is 
easily the sexiest male in the series:

*He has dark hair and bright green eyes - *sigh*
*don't tell me that idea of the orphaned boy in pain and in need of 
love isn't appealing to many women - whether it is because we want to 
give him a motherly hug or because we want to be the one who helps him 
get through his pain, women do tend to like to help.
*his temper in OoP - I love a man who can and does stick up for 
himself and who would fight to protect the ones he loves (my own 
sweetie is a lot like Harry in this respect).
*his mystique - again, women are often intrigued by men who seem 
mysterious or who seem to have secrets - I am, anyway.
*he's a good athlete.
*he has a good sense of humor - loved his interactions with the 
Dursleys this time around.
*he treats well those who are considered inferior in the WW, like 
Dobby and Lupin.
*he thinks for himself and is no follower.
*he can keep a secret, like he did with Neville's parents.
*he's quite powerful magically - I mean, he really knows how to use 
his wand.  

I'm telling you - if I was 15, a witch and a student in Hogwarts 
(fantasize much, Jenny?), I don't think I'd be able to stop myself 
from grabbing him, pulling him into an empty classroom and -

Harry is still young, and clearly not experienced with dealing with 
girls, as we all painfully witnessed with Cho.  In time, though, he'll 
make a most excellent boyfriend and then husband.  Of that I am sure.
