Top 25 Character of Harry Potter Movies- (15 to 11)

 

 

15. Lucius Malfoy

15 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 plotline of The Chamber of Secrets, as he slid Tom Riddle's old diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron. His unwarranted, biting comments about the Weasley family are enough to make us hate him, but on top of that, Lucius has shown he is willing to do anything in support of his Dark Lord, including one-on-one confrontations with Harry.

Lucius is brought to life in the films by the great Jason Isaacs, who gives the character just the right arrogant, smug attitude – You can feel Lucius' absolute conviction in his actions, and his anger that a boy like Potter would dare attempt to stop Voldemort and those, like Lucius, who follow his lead. Watching Lucius' fall from grace in The Deathly Hallows Part 1, as he now has much more to prove to his Dark Lord, only add to our fascination with the character.

Remus Lupin

 

14. 

14 Harry Potter had good reason to distrust Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, given his experiences in his first two years. Lucky for him, Remus Lupin was cut from very different cloth than Quirrel or Lockhart. Lupin is a kind, caring presence in Harry's life , and while Dumbledore certainly was already looking out for Harry, Lupin was a much more available source of comfort and support for the orphaned boy, during the single year he taught him – at least when it wasn't a full moon. An old friend of Harry's parents, he was able to give Harry personal, intimate insight into who they were that no one else had been able to provide.

All that, and he's a werewolf! Lupin doesn't see that as a plus of course, but it's a very cool extra component to the character, as we see this thoughtful, warm man work to control the monster he turns into. And while Lupin's role is lessened after The Prisoner of Azkaban, he remains a dependable figure in Harry's life and a valiant member of the Order of the Phoenix – and eventually, for Tonks, something even more important.

Rubeus Hagrid

13 For a boy like Harry, who grew up without any friends, a big warm and fuzzy brute like Hagrid couldn't have busted down the door at a better time. And a true friend he was. When others among the staff at Hogwarts were quick to skewer Harry with insults or shrug off his queries with mysterious glares, Hagrid was always there as a true confidant. It's always helpful to have a big lug on the payroll who's got your back, even if he is a bit of a well-intentioned klutz.

At this point in the movie series, Hagrid's most involved storylines are behind him, but some powerful and emotional moments are yet to come. They're spare, but they still resonate because of his history with Harry, Hermione and Ron. Hagrid has become the surrogate for us, the audience, as we watch our favorite students mature and develop into young warriors. The short scene in Goblet of Fire, when he walks through the woods with our heroes, recollecting favorable times with the three of them, gave us all a cherished memory.

 

12.

Luna Lovegood

12 "I know she's insane, but it's in a good way." Ron Weasley's characterization of Luna Lovegood is precisely what makes this "Looney" Ravenclaw girl such a delight. She's an offbeat type with an interest in the macabre. And really, it's not surprising that she's a little strange when you consider that her mother died in a tragic magical accident when she was young and her father, Xenophilius, publishes the outrageous wizarding tabloid The Quibbler.

While Luna is often shunned for her oddball ways, things change when she meets Harry Potter and friends on the Hogwarts Express on the way to their fifth year at school. Luna joins the cadre of heroic students in Dumbledore's Army and plays a critical role within the group.

Fred Weasley & George Weasley

11 While our three heroes fumbled and stumbled about at Hogwarts, trying to decide what their futures held, the Weasley twins had the luxury of knowing their passion: Pranks, gags and gaffes. While everyone else fretted over their exams, Ron's older brothers had an entrepreneur's eye and a magician's mirth. Having always been on hand to help Harry out in tough situations, the brave brothers, who were auspiciously born on April Fool's, have still yet to experience their most intense and tragic moments, though George did lose an ear in The Deathly Hallows Part 1 - dealing with the traumatic event with trademark humor.

The more they pestered and prodded at Ron, the more we realized that they were the kind of older brothers that we all would have wanted to grow up with. Taking umbrage at Umbridge and leaving Hogwarts with a bang in Order of The Phoenix showed us that these two weren't just goofy side splitters; they were brave and valiant freedom fighters.
