#1. The cursed child writers

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.

You know there are some real bad people on this list, when Lucius Malfoy is only rank #21

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.

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

Imagine correcting someone “that’s not how it went in the movies” like they literally don’t sound dumb because they REFUSE to read 7 books lol

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

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

Petunia and Vernon are objectively more evil than Dudley. Their bad qualities seemingly come from just them whereas Dudley’s come from who raised him.

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 think part of why Nagini became so evil was because she became a horcrux. In Order of the Phoenix, Harry has his mean almost evil moments (especially in the ministry when he does the crucio curse on Bellatrix and becomes almost possessed by Voldemort). But he fights the evil almost trying to take over him. So Nagini probably experienced the same thing except she didn’t try to fight it, she just accepted it.

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 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.

10:12 this version of Voldemort looked like he was suffering, at least he had a nose

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.

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.

Just a theory: The Dursleys spent 16 years living with a human horcrux. That could have played a huge part in their behavior.
Edit: It was Crabbe who set the room of requirement on fire. The actor who played him was fired because of run-ins with the law, so Goyle replaced Crabbe and Blaise replaced Goyle.

I like some of the villains it just goes to show that the actors and actresses know what they are doing and that they are really good at acting
