Top Ten Harry Potter Villains
The Evil Characters of Harry Potter
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #10: Snape
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a firm believer that Snape is not evil. Snape made this list because of not only his previous involvement in the dark arts, but because he continues to be a thorn in Harry Potter's side. Snape may not be an all out villain, but he hasn't made things easy for Harry Potter either.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #9: Narcissa Malfoy
We know that Narcissa Malfoy would do anything to protect her son. We also know that she is a Black. The Black family hates Muggles and Mudbloods. We may not have seen Narcissa at her most evil just yet, but this villain still has a chance to show her true colors in book 7.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #8: Dementors
Dementors are one of the most creative villains. What could be scarier than the Dementor's Kiss? In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban we almost saw Sirius Black lose his life to a dementor. One of the worst things about this villain is the fact that they can make people relive the worst memories possible and completely drain them of happiness. They may not always want your soul, but they'll take away anyone's happiness.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #7: Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy has been one of Harry Potter's villains from the very beginning. Once Harry told him that there was no way he would be friends with a person like Draco that sealed the deal. From then on Draco set out to make Harry Potter's life miserable.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #6: Professor Umbridge
This Harry Potter villain may not be pure evil, but she is obsessed with power. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Professor Umbridge takes things too far when she repeatedly punishes Harry to the point that he bleeds.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #5: Tom M Riddle
Yes, I know that Tom Riddle is the same person as Voldemort, but is he really? Tom Riddle was a much different person than Voldemort. Sure he was evil, but Tom Riddle was only the beginning of what he would eventually become. Even Voldemort wanted to escape his former self and he did it quite well. Tom Riddle was a villain because he knew how to get what he wanted, which would eventually lead to his downfall and change.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #4: Wormtail
Every fan knows that Wormtail is a coward, but being a coward has made him the perfect villain. Wormtail is too scared to disobey Voldemort. He was even willing to give up his hand to aid in the resurrection of Voldemort.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #3: Lucius Malfoy
The ever faithful Lucius Malfoy is a villain that women love to hate. While Lucius does hate Muggles, I believe that his true reason for being evil is simply for power. Lucius may have landed himself in prison, but I believe he will continue to show his true colors in book 7. Then again, Voldemort may not forgive him for what he's done and may kill him.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #2: Bellatrix Lestrange
Bellatrix is another member of the Black family. She is also unbelievably devoted to Voldemort. One might even wonder if there is love there. She did her best to kill Harry Potter in book 5. Let's not forget that she also killed Sirius Black.
Top Ten Harry Potter Villains #1: Voldemort
Of course, the number one villain would be Voldemort. Voldemort is the complete opposite of Harry Potter. Voldemort will stop at nothing to kill Harry Potter. Until Harry Potter is dead, Voldemort will not be at peace. Until Voldemort is dead, the world of Harry Potter will continue to get darker and more dangerous.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've got the order wrong.
1. Voldemort
2. Bellatrix
3. Umbridge
4. Tom Riddle
5. Wormtail
6. Barty
7. Lucius
8. Snape
9. Fudge
10. Draco
where's bartemius Crouch jr? hes v. evil, more evil than snape or narcissa. also i think death eaters as a general should be on there.
Where`s Fudge? He`s a pretty evil character as well. He`s a treacherous, corrupt politician willing to stay on top any means necessary, even trying to destroy a trusted ally. He believes he is a good guy, but that just increases his monstrosity. Cornelius Fudge has just as much lust for power as Voldemort, and the real reason he seems so evil that he believes to be on the side of the good.
Umbrige is pure evil, as revealed in book 7. Narcissa actually helps in the downfall of Lord Voltemort. If not for her, Voltemort would've lived much longer.
I think you did a good job. Especially the top 2. The only thing differently I would have put the Slytherin house as a whole on there instead of Narcissa Malfoy.
Sophie-I wouldn't say she's been paying lost of attention to the films, Id say shes been paying lots of attention to the books as well.
Also, while I agree with the overall top ten. Personally Id have Snape higher on the list. Maybe 7th, or 6th. I understand that weather or not he is evil is still unsure, however if he is evil and you go on that fact then I think that he is definitly more of a villian than Draco and his mother. Draco and his mother are the way that they are because of the way that they are raised. In the sixth book, the actions of both were based on there fear of losing the people that they care about most to the hands of Voldemort. Snape, however is playing both sides of the field, only Snape knows who he is being truthfull to and if he is working for Voldemort, then he has done horrible things for no other reason that I can see then that he wants power.
You have been obviously been paying lots of attention to the films.

wow, you are a Harry potter expert. LOl
