I was wondering if a magnet could possibly harm a laptop screen.
Does a magnet destroy the pixals or anything.

Nope, flat panel screens are unaffected by magnetic fields. Unlike CRT
color monitors which are. In fact, most modern laptops mount a magnetic
right next to the screen to operate the lid switch.

No, not within reason (I will assume that you don't stick an LCD screen
into an MRI machine).
