Apr 24, 2024 · The films did an admirable job of adapting most, thanks to the stellar casting. Each entry into the saga has its fair share of memorable characters; however, a few key figures stand out in each...
- Dobby
- Gellert Grindelwald
- Ginny Weasley
- Gilderoy Lockhart
- Albus Severus Potter
- Molly Weasley
- Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody
- Minerva McGonagall
- Delores Umbridge
- Lucius Malfoy
"Such a beautiful place... to be with friends." It's difficult to not get a bit misty-eyed recalling the moment when Dobby the house-elf said those words in Deathly Hallows Part 1, which were among his last. When we met Dobby, admittedly, he was pretty annoying. He was a strange, little creature with a habit of hurting himself, who made things very...
His reputation may have eventually been overshadowed by Voldemort, but there was a time when Grindelwald was the most feared villain in all the wizarding world. He only has one brief appearance in the main Harry Potter series, though one where he manages to stymie even Voldemort himself. It's the Fantastic Beasts movies where Grindelwald is truly c...
On hand in Chamber of Secrets as a lovesick little girl/vessel for Tom Riddle's madness (following her cameo in The Sorcerer's Stone), Ginny and Harry's eventual romance captivated us. It seemed to both spring up out of nowhere andfeel like it was meant to be all along. It was only natural that Harry should wind up finding love in the same family w...
Gilderoy Lockhart is a real charmer. It's through sheer charisma (and the occasional memory charm) that he established himself in society as one of the most accomplished wizards of all time, without actually performing any of the heroic acts he claims to have done in numerous best-selling books. The vain and self-aggrandizing Lockhart's habit of ex...
Harry Potter may have faced a difficult childhood being known as "The Boy Who Lived," but that's nothing compared to growing up with the biggest celebrity in the wizarding world for a father. Making matters worse is that Albus Severus is named after two of the other most important wizards in history. His central conflict is right there in his name....
Imagine the perfect, loving, giving mother – and then add magic. That's Molly Weasley for you. We love her husband Arthur as well, but Molly's treatment of Harry has always been a particularly wonderful part of the series. Harry is an orphan, treated horribly by his aunt and uncle – and his relationship with his godfather, Sirius, was tragically sh...
Grizzled. If there's one word that could describe Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody in a nutshell, it's "grizzled." One of the most renowned Aurors of all time, Moody was a fierce fighter for good in the First and Second Wizarding Wars. He'd lost an eye, which was replaced with a magical one, he has a wooden leg, and his face is covered with scars. His exper...
As the head of Gryffindor house and Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall can be a strict disciplinarian. She is quick to kick misbehaving students out of her class, and deduct house points when the situation warrants. But she can also be kind of like that cool aunt of yours -- the one who sometimes lets you get away with a bit of m...
Oh, how we hate this woman... which is why she belongs on this list. J.K. Rowling really outdid herself when she created Dolores Umbridge. Voldemort is a terrific villain to be sure – but it could be argued that he never got under our skin like Umbridge did. Perhaps it's because Voldemort came in and out of Harry's life. His threat was ongoing, but...
Draco Malfoy was trouble from the second we met him, so it was no shock to discover his dear old dad was cut from the same cloth. A man of power and influence in the wizarding world, Lucius hides behind a shield of wealth, while plotting some very dark things. A longtime supporter of Voldemort, it was his actions that set into motion the entire plo...

- Fred Weasley. The Weasley family is a big part of this world yet it might surprise some fans that Fred ranks the highest out of his clan. Given that he is mostly exclusively seen with his twin brother, George, they almost seem like one character.
- Harry Potter. Any collection of the best Harry Potter characters would need to include the titular hero. Some may expect Harry to rank higher as the protagonist of the story, but he was not always as fun as some of the supporting cast and his decisions could sometimes be infuriating.
- Dobby. Compared to some of the other characters in the franchise, Dobby the house-elf doesn't have a huge presence in the movies. However, among the more fantastical characters in the movies, Dobby is one of the most relatable.
- Severus Snape. Severus Snape was not an easy character to like for much of the franchise, but he also had a lot of complexity under the surface. With his seemingly unfair treatment of Harry as one of Hogwarts' most powerful professors, Snape felt like an antagonist at most times.
- Robert Pattinson. Could it have been anyone else? Robert Pattinson, who appeared only in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as tragic heartthrob Cedric Diggory, is easily the most successful child star to come out of the Harry Potter series.
- Emma Watson. Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, is the most successful member of the core trio. Watson, 31, went from Harry Potter star to a Disney princess in the live-action Beauty and the Beast, an infamous criminal in Bling Ring, a beloved manic pixie dream girl in Perks of Being a Wallflower and the eldest March sister in Little Women, among other roles.
- Daniel Radcliffe. Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter himself, has become quite the actor since leaving Hogwarts. After carrying an entire franchise on his back, which is no small feat, his post-Harry Potter career has been truly interesting to watch.
- Alfred Enoch. Alfred Enoch, the actor behind Dean Thomas in seven Harry Potter films, is now better known for How to Get Away with Murder. His run on the series was popular enough that there’s a significant number of people who know him better as Wes Gibbins than Dean Thomas at this point – and that’s saying something.
