MB's "Man of Steel" vote:

My vote goes to the boy who lived, Harry Potter for the reasons i shall share. He has a wider array of spells, jinxes, and hexes he can use. Not just the ones posted, which granted are the ones he uses the most. There's levicorpus, tallentalegra, and disillusionment charms. They may not be as effective as the other spells, but they can be effective nontheless. Another factor for Harry's win is his equipment loadout. Being able to become invisible will help tremendously. He'll be capable of displacing and striking Percy without being seen. The firebolt may be smaller than Blackjack. But Harry used it in the fourth book against the horntail to perfection, showing that the size difference doesnt matter. The final victory factor is Potter's tremendous skill with his magic. When he was 13 he was capable of driving off hundreds, if not thousands of dementors with a single Patronus charm. Something most adults cannot do. Also, He has been shown to be quite capable of both performing and throwing off the imperius curse on multiple occasions. Percy, while tremendously good with water, it still remains that he's only tremendously good with water. Granted, its a valuable skill. But there are also spells Harry can use with water. In the fifth film, Dumbledore used water manipulation to entrap Voldemort in a sphere of water. Now one could make the argument that Harry never learned that. Or one could say that he eventually found out how to do so. But for the sake of argument we can also say that since its taking place right after the battle of Hogwarts, Harry may or may not know this technique yet. Anyways, my vote goes to Harry and this is why.
