I would place Dudley lower than Petunia because 1. All of his negative qualities were very much instilled and nurtured in him whereas Petunia's grudge came from within herself. Dudley was TAUGHT that it's ok to bully Harry and was spoiled rotten from a very young age, and therefore 2. Petunia has a part in Dudley's despicable behavior being one of the parents who taught him all that. And 3. Petunia treated a child badly while being an adult, whereas Dudley when he grew up and started thinking for himself, changed his ways and became a better person.

100% agree with what you said about snape. A lot of people forget that he was a bully even when he was a grown man as his acts of bravery are so prominent especially at the end of the series.

Voldemort has really good manners. This man literally let Harry pick up his wand and do a proper dual with him

In my eyes Crouch J.r. was probably the most underrated villain in the whole franchise. He was sneaky, unpredictable, mysterious, creepy and funny! It makes me sad that we only got to see him in just one book/movie. PS Great performance David Tennett.

Wait where's Lockhart? I'd say stealing other people's achievements and wiping their memories is pretty evil if you ask me. Would like to hear why he wasn't included. Personally, I'd place him above children who were raised to be arrogant bullies but as adults changed their ways

The cursed child is basically on the same level as season 8 of game of thrones when it comes to the writing.

My surprise at seeing Bellatrix not at #2 was topped almost immediately by my surprise at Voldemort not being #1. Having said that, I can't argue with your list at all. I think it's very well thought out and just about perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Props for not shying away from including Snape, by the way. I know a lot of people - especially movie-only fans - who like to think of him as a heroic figure only, when he obviously was not.

Ok guys can we just mention that Bellatrix killed her own niece, Nymphadora Tonks. She was a cold blooded and ruthless killer and to do that to her own sister who she had grown up with and actually looked like is awful. She also killed her own cousin Sirius Black, and she killed Dobby. She tortured the Longbottoms out of their minds and tortured Hermione. Hard to find a purer form of evil.

I fully agree with Grayback being the most evil. Voldemort had a plan while Grayback just did horrible things for the fun of it.

I always found disturbing that snape was neville's worst fear, the boy had his parents tortured to insanity and still he feared snape most, not the lestranges or barty jr, snape

I’d argue that Merope Gaunt and Gilderoy Lockhart was a villain as well. Merope only did one evil act but it was quite bad, she put a man under a love potion for many months, manipulating him, and forced him to have kids with her, basically ra**. She did it for love ig, but still deserves to be on this list. Lockhart bc he stole credit for other ppls achievements and then wiped their memory of it. He was prepared to let 3 children die in the chamber of secrets after removing 2 of their memories. Also enough to be considered a villain.

Personally, I would put Dudley below Petunia. Yes, Dudley bullied Harry growing up along with his parents but at least near the end Dudley somewhat had a change of heart. In the deathly Hallows, as the Dursleys are about to leave their home, Dudley told Harry he doesn't think he's a waste of space, because he was grateful for Harry saving his life from the dementors a couple years earlier, and he shook his hand. As Harry said, that was the closest thing to an I love you that he was going to get from Dudley. Also, when they became adults and had children, their families would meet up during the holidays and even though they didn't really speak during those times, they sat with each other as their kids played. As for Petunia, her and Vernon, and Dudley bullied Harry for years, she treated Harry like how she treated Lily after Petunia herself was denied going to Hogwarts by Dumbledore. Petunia saw Harry just like she saw Lily, as a freak. Even in the end, in the deathly hallows before her, Vernon and Dudley were to leave, she never expressed regret for her actions and how she treated Harry for all of those years because she wasn't sorry. She would for the rest of her life carry that jealously of her sister. But when you compare Dudley and Petunia, Dudley saying he doesn't think he's a waste of space and having a civil relationship with Harry as adults, that was basically his redemption as a character. Petunia and Vernon however had their views on magic, and it wasn't going to change even as time went on and they wouldn't regret how they treated Harry for all of those years.

I would have considered adding Rita Skeeter to the list, as her actions are pretty harmful to multiple characters and she is manipulative and a bully. I was also a little surprised to see Umbridge not as high on the list as I thought she’d be, though I do agree with your point that she is never shown to directly kill anyone like those ranked higher are. It surprised me a bit to see Bellatrix as low as she was, but I really appreciate you including characters like Herpo and Salazar in the ranking and I totally agree with your assessment on Greyback.

I’ve watched Harry Potter billions of times and I’m still not bored

Before the end, I was like, what about fenrir tho? And once voldy was said, I was like, it can’t be, but it was!

Harry Potter Sequel Idea: After Voldemort’s death most death eaters are rounded up and placed in prison, however one person is not apprehended, Fenrir Greyback. Greyback spends the next 15 years growing his army of werewolves just in time for Albus Potters time at hogwarts. Greyback and his army of Werewolves start the 3rd wizarding war.

Will you do a video where you explain what would have happened if Remus and Sirius killed worm tail?

Thank you SO MUCH for putting Fenrir Greyback first, because I definitely think he is the most evil and disturbing out of all the Harry Potter villains especially since he deliberately ruined so many lives of children just for fun; Voldemort (and even Umbridge) actually had a motive, as twisted as they were (Umbridge was power hungry and liked control) but Greyback literally just wanted to ruin lives even if he gained absolutely nothing from it. So many people don't think he's that evil and he's overlooked so often so I really appreciate his placement.

I would also consider Ekrizdis, the dark wizard who was the original inhabitant of Azkaban. He was known to lure sailors to his island and to torture them in ways that were unspeakable. After he died, the enchantments that he had placed on the island faded and the ministry discovered it, only to find that the island was inhabited by dementors. Dementors have never appeared naturally in any known part of the wizarding world, possibly indicating that Ekrizdis created them. Given that dementors are THE most evil magical creature and that the purpose of their their existence is to drain people of all their happiness until eventually sucking their souls out, not to mention tormenting anyone sent to Azkaban who was falsely accused, such as Sirius Black or Hagrid, I would put him in the top five.
