As the no-nonsense, straight-as-an-arrow member of the Weasley family, Percy Weasley greatly differs from his liberal-minded, free-spirited large brood. First, it is unyielding adherence to the Hogwarts rules, both as prefect and then Head Boy, and his admonishment of his wise-ass twin brothers, Fred and George, for all their pranks, jokes, and gen...
Speaking of being a total and complete idiot, we have Cornelius Fudge. As head of the Ministry of Magic for most of Harry's time at Hogwarts, he is just a clueless jerk who only cares about how he is perceived in a job that is, quite frankly, over his head. He sends poor Hagrid to Azkaban, for heaven's sakes, just so it looks like he is doing somet...
Horace Slughornis mostly harmless, but his elitist attitude and cowardice puts him in an unfavorable light. At Dumbledore's request, Slughorn comes out of retirement to be the Potions professor in Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, and so resumes his infamous “Slug Club,” in which he “collects” a few students he deems worthy because of either their ex...
Harry's dimwitted cousin Dudley Dursleycertainly isn't the only one to bully the Boy Who Lived throughout the series, but he's probably the worst. Taking cues from his abusive parents (see below), Dudley mostly uses Harry as a punching bag, picks on him, gets him in trouble, and hates whenever his cousin has to be included. Dudley is also an insuff...
We know the awful Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon are Harry's protection against those Death Eaters who want to do Harry harm, but couldn't our hero's first years have at least been a little more pleasant? Thanks, Dumbledore. Petunia hates the fact that her dear dead sister, Lily, turned out to be a witch, and Petunia thinks she was a freak. Therefor...
First and foremost, Cho Chang breaks Harry's heart, and for that, it's hard not hold a grudge against her. Sure, he doesn't make his affection for her clear right away, and when he finally does, she's already got eyes for Cedric Diggory. But after Cedric is killed and Cho finally starts liking Harry, she feels guilty for kissing him because it's li...
Label this dude under “stereotypical jock who likes to endlessly talk about himself.” Eyes roll. Cormac McLaggen is extremely cocky and feels like he's God's gift to Quidditch. He's not. This is evident when Ron bests McLaggen in tryouts to become Gryffindor's new Keeper (granted, after Hermione Confunded Cormac so he would miss the last save. Hey,...
There's pretty much nothing to like about Lucius Malfoy. Besides being such a condescending, conniving, lying prick -- and cruel to his house elf, Dobby -- he is also weak. The fact that he won't stand up to Lord Voldemort for using his son, Draco, to try and kill Dumbledore is awful. He doesn't even give Draco any guidance (that would be Snape, by...
Putting Sybill Trelawney on this list might be a bit controversial because she is ultimately a good person, and there are certainly a bunch of Potter fans that like her. As Hogwarts' Professor of Divination, she only means well in her endeavors to teach young witches and wizards the ability to predict the future, but does she have to be so damn ann...
As the gossip reporter for the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter's style of writing actually encapsulates the phrase “fake news.” She's just despicable with her poison-pen articles based on false information and interviews in which she only reports what she wants to hear. Naturally, she makes up all kinds of things about the Boy Who Lived after interview...

- Dolores Umbridge. Umbridge is proof that, as Sirius says in Prisoner of Azkaban, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters."
- Bellatrix Lestrange. Bellatrix killed Sirius, so that gets her a spot in the Top Three Worst Villains. She loved torture, was creepily devoted to Voldemort, and was just plain crazy, but in the end she was no match for the best: Molly Weasley.
- Fenrir Greyback. Greyback was a werewolf who liked biting kids, so that automatically earns him a spot as one of the most evil villains in the HP world.
- Dudley Dursley. Dudley Dursley may be a spoiled little boy, but he's not evil. He doesn't usually bully Harry, just gets everything that he doesn't get to have - and that's through no fault of his own.
- Lavender Brown. Lavender Brown is one of the most disliked characters in the Harry Potter universe, but truth be told, she's not all that evil. Rather than having a tendency toward the dark side, she’s just unlikeable because she's needy, emotionally dependent, and gets between Ron and Hermione.
- Mundungus Fletcher. Mundungus Fletcher is a petty thief and criminal who doesn't have much thought for anyone but himself. However, it's important to remember that he's one of the founding members of the Order of the Phoenix.
- Petunia Dursley. Harry's Aunt Petunia is ashamed of her affiliation with the wizarding world, and she takes her resentment for Lily out on Harry, who's done nothing wrong.
Apr 6, 2024 · Crouch Jr. is cunning, clever, and willing to do everything in service of Voldemort, from killing his father to exploiting his sweet domestic elf's feelings of loyalty. Utterly despicable and ...
