As ranked by their ability to wear black and yellow.

Last week J.K. Rowling announced she would be writing a script for Warner Bros. inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, centered around the textbook's author Newt Scamander. We don't know much about him yet, but that hasn't stopped the internet from deciding who should play him.
