Top 25 Character Of Harry Potter Movies (10 to 6)

 

10.

Bellatrix Lestrange

10 Some people just enjoy being evil. If you're looking for proof, let us introduce you to Bellatrix Lestrange – and suggest you pray that you survive the encounter. Bellatrix has little of the cold, calculating nature of Voldemort or Lucius Malfoy. She simply relishes doing wicked, wicked things – and laughing all the while. Her villainy would have been cemented simply by her backstory, as we discovered she had tortured poor Neville Longbottom's parents so horrifically, it left them insane.

But after she escaped from Azkaban, Bellatrix proved she was far from done. She murdered her own cousin, Sirius Black, and, per usual, seemed more entertained than anything by what she'd done – which left Harry Potter without someone he'd come to love like a family member. She then went on to sadistically torture Hermione and murdered Dobby, giving this woman a stunning list of horrific "accomplishments." Considering all the destruction she's responsible for, the question becomes: Who can put a stop to this fanatical Voldemort follower, and the wreckage she leaves in her wake?

Draco Malfoy

9 As we follow Harry Potter's path of righteous adventure during his years at Hogwarts, it only makes sense that we follow his cracked mirror reflection. As someone that grew up totally opposite to Harry, the Aryan, aristocratic puke known as Draco Malfoy was privileged, pompous and prejudiced. While the threat of Voldemort's return loomed outside the walls of Hogwarts, Harry needed a lesser evil to keep him occupied when school was in session. And Draco did his absolute best to make Harry's life as harried and horrible as possible.

But just when we were beginning to think that Draco was nothing more than a nuisance, he got charged, by the Dark Lord, with killing Dumbledore himself. And suddenly, we were witnesses to Draco's initiation into the ranks of true evil and found ourselves actually invested in his choices - particularly when we saw, as Dumbledore did, that Draco Malfoy, as nasty as he is, is not a murderer. Still among the Death Eaters, Draco's next steps could lead him to salvation or damnation.

Sirius Black

8 "Have you seen this wizard?" "Approach with extreme caution!" "Notify immediately by owl the Ministry of Magic." So read the wanted posters plastered everywhere in the wizarding world upon Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban prison, where he'd been sent years earlier for the murder of twelve Muggles and aiding Lord Voldemort. But Sirius is an innocent man. And it's after he is vindicated that the character truly comes alive.

Sirius was a close friend of James and Lily Potter, so much so that they named him as Harry's godfather. And while he maintains a sort of edgy, rebellious appeal -- emitting a truly badass vibe at times -- it's the father/son relationship that begins to develop between Sirius and Harry that endears the character to us. Sadly, however, Sirius meets his untimely demise before he can truly become the full-fledged father-figure that Harry so craves.

 

7.

Voldemort

7 The greatest thing about Lord Voldemort (AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle) was that he was rotten to his very core. There would be no redemption for such a wicked spirit. There was never any "good" lying dormant underneath Voldemort's dark exterior. He was never corrupted as a child; he was the corrupter. When other powerful sorcerers don't even have the cajones to speak your name, then you know you've truly arrived as the ultimate master of malice.

As the most sinisterly popularized villain since Darth Vader, Voldemort was truly frightening. In book after book, Harry managed to evade certain death only by the skinny skin of his teeth. We literally could not figure out a way that Harry, as cunning as he was, could ever defeat such a powerfully evil force. Voldemort might not have been able to comprehend love or friendship, but that certainly didn't stop us from taking delight in such a devilishly dreadful dude - and to wonder how Harry might possibly survive their final encounter.

 

6.

Neville Longbottom

6 Neville Longbottom is the quintessential dimwit-turned-hero. When we first meet him at Hogwarts, Neville is a shy introvert who is simply not that good at magic. In fact, those close to Neville quietly wondered if he might nearly be a Squib, someone born into a wizarding family without magic powers. He's lovable, sure, but his early misadventures don't explicitly foreshadow the valiant defender of Hogwarts that he would ultimately become.

While he begins to show loyalty and signs of bravery early on, it isn't until Neville's fifth year and his participation in Dumbledore's Army, that we see him truly come into his own. Neville accompanies his friends on their mission to the Department of Mysteries where he comes face to face with the Bellatrix Lestrange, the twisted servant of Voldemort who cruelly tortured his parents years before using the Cruciatus Curse. But as impressive as Neville's transformation has been, his greatest challenges are yet to come...
