According to a UK Sci-Fi Channel poll of 1,500 people Harry Potter is the 'best' fantasy hero and Darth Vader is the 'best' fantasy villain.

I think the results go something like:
Best Fantasy Hero:
1. Harry Potter
2. The Terminator (from 'T2')
3. Buffy
4. Spiderman
5. Doctor Who
6. Han Solo
7. Neo
8. Spock
9. Yoda
10. Batman
Best Fantasy Villain:
1. Darth Vader
2. The Alien creature
3. The Borg
4. The Daleks
5. The Joker
6. The Terminator (from 'The Terminator')
7. Predator
8. Ming the Merciless
9. Lex Luther
10. Hal 9000
I guess it's obvious that the voters just selected film or TV 'fantasy' characters rather than characters from books, and it's unclear whether the voting was a 'free-for-all' or based on a predetermined 'short-list', as Channel 4 tend to do with their '100 Greatest' polls. :(
