These days it doesn't matter. Anything you have on your hard disk is likely backed up at NSA headquarters anyway. In fact most of our data comes from the internet now so technically, big brother has it before you do.

Magnets are unreliable for destroying data. They corrupt, but do not destroy the data, making it possible to repair. Maybe not 100% but nobody needs 100% of your data to fuck with you.

To make it really difficult (essentially impossible) to read you should use a program that overwrites the data multiple times, maybe then smash the platters or drill them up good.

If you are going for physical damage, you should know the only part you need to destroy is the platters. If anyone wants your data real bad, they can replace the other parts of the disk such as the housing, spindle, circuit-board etc. with an identical model. It's not easy but it can be done.
