Sep 1, 2024 · The magical world of Harry Potter is filled with enchanting wonders, but it's also home to some of literature's most sinister villains. This list of the most evil Harry Potter villains includes everything from dark wizards to treacherous followers, with each character providing a stark contrast to the bravery and goodness of the heroes we cheer ...
- Severus Snape
- The Dursleys
- Aunt Marge
- Narcissa Malfoy
- Draco Malfoy
- Quirrell
- Lucius Malfoy
- Aragog
- Nagini
- Gellert Grindelwald
Though we all spent the first six books angry at Snape, he turned out to be on the good side in the end, even if he was prejudiced in his youth. Snape proves that someone you thought was a villain all along might actually be a hero.
Though the Dursleys were awful to Harry, at least they weren't Death Eaters. In fact, Dudley turned out all right in the end (he doesn't think Harry's a "waste of space," after all), and Petunia was sympathetic because she wanted what we all want: to go to Hogwarts. Vernon, on the other hand... yeah, Vernon wasn't too great.
Once again... at least she wasn't a Death Eater. Still, Aunt Marge was pretty awful — I can't let those horrible insults about Harry's father slide — but she did get her comeuppance in the end.
Though Narcissa supported her husband, who was a Death Eater, she never actually became one. And in the end, when her son's life was in danger, she protected him by lying to Voldemort. That takes guts, and it ultimately helped Harry defeat he-who-must-not-be-named — so Narcissa wins least evil Malfoy family member.
He was annoying from the beginning, when he bashed the Weasleys and went on and on about blood purity, and eventually became downright evil when he joined Voldemort's side. Still, evil never came naturally for Draco, and it always seemed that he was in way over his head. Though a lot of us secretly wished he would be the resident Bad Boy with a Hea...
Poor Quirrell was easily manipulated, and had pretty much no backbone. He completely submitted to Lord Voldemort, letting him live in the back of his head (?), and then became yet another disposable follower of the dark lord. The only good thing about Quirrell? His AVPM counterpart. *listens to "Different As Can Be on repeat*
Lucius is responsible for giving Ginny Tom Riddle's Diary, and it all goes downhill from there. He's cold, cruel, and constantly ridicules the Weasleys and Dobby, who are the best so that's a major strike against him. Though he's an extremely prejudiced Death Eater, he eventually throws it away to try and save his son, so he at least has some redee...
Aragog is an enormous spider: strike one. He got Hagrid expelled from Hogwarts: strike two. Then he tried to feed Harry and Ron to his children. Strike three — he's out — I'm gonna go follow the butterflies now.
Oh yay, another creepy creature who eats humans. And this one's a snake. Voldemort's pet is pretty evil, as she eats a ton of his victims (and bites Arthur Weasley), but when Neville kills her, it's pretty epic. So at least there's that.
The only reason Grindelwald isn't higher on the list is that we don't know a ton about him (prequel please...). However, we do know that he was basically another Voldemort, betrayed the noble Albus Dumbledore, and used the phrase "for the greater good" to justify a lot of terrible actions. So we know he was pretty awful.

- Dementors. Absolutely no motivations except a hunger for a soul is what drives these cloaked monstrosities. Nothing is scarier than that, except their faceless appearance with a gaping hole to use against their victims.
- Dolores Umbridge. Black is the Death Eaters color. Pink is the armor of Umbridge, with a too realistic hatefulness hiding beneath her hyper-femininity.
- Draco Malfoy. Voldemort may be considered Harry’s polar opposite, the two seen as moralistic yin and yang, but what about Draco? Unlike Voldemort and many of the other villains in the film series, Draco (Tom Felton) and Harry have drifted through each other’s lives in school since their first year at Hogwarts.
- Lord Voldemort. With his penchant for screaming out inaudible sounds, the Dark Lord was so deadly and sure of his invincibility, he walked around barefoot when he regained human form.
- 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.
Sep 22, 2015 · Bellatrix Lestrange. Sadistic, tempestuous and fiercely loyal to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Bellatrix thought nothing of murdering her own family when they stood in her way. Responsible for the deaths of Sirius Black and Dobby the house-elf, as well as the torture of Alice and Frank Longbottom, Lestrange met a gratifyingly sticky end at the ...
