There’s one issue that bugs me about Voldermont and I wish you can make video on it Why was he never adopted considering the fact that many orphanages at the time had babies adopted out because muggles prefer infants who they can raise as their own as they see fit. According to the caretakers at Voldermont’s orphanage he was an easy baby who never cried that much another bonus in making him the ideal baby to raise. If he was adopted and raised in a loving home by muggles how would that have changed his outcome. Also touch on why there’s no foster care system in the wizard world to have magical children cared for in the magicalWorld if there are no suitable guardians.

[@craigwheeler4760]

Having Snape at #1 is the right call. Voldemort himself said that Snape was a very capable wizard. Snape was the only Death eater who learned how to fly from Voldemort too. He was that powerful. Also, Snape invented 7+ spells of his own, and he was the most brilliant potion maker in his generation. He was a true genius in every respect. Voldemort could not break through his mental defenses to read him, Bellatrix feared him; and every other Death eater was constantly on their guard against him. His double agency not withstanding, they knew he'd smoke them in a duel.

[@SJ-di5zu]

It’s in the movie, not the book. In the book, Snape fled from Flitwick, McGonagall, Slughorn, and Sprout. He was fighting 1v4, jumped out the window, and flew, something only he and Voldemort were able to do in the books. Snape is clearly the 3rd best Wizard in the series (assuming we don’t count Grindelwald who doesn’t really fight in his old age anyways). So many signs point to it. It’s a shame we don’t ever really get to see him seriously duel much outside of owning Harry at the end of the 6th book. He’s always holding back. It would’ve been nice if maybe he dueled Voldemort to the death when it was clear he would be killed.

He might even have eclipsed them. The top 3 - Barty, Bella, and Snape - all were NOT old by the time they died. Each one of them could have easily become the most powerful witch/wizard of the age if they'd lived long enough.

[@untitled6391]

Nope. Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Riddle had massive inherent power. Even in their school days, they were all famous (or infamous for Grindelwald). While Snape did invent spells and was a prodigy in potions, he would never become as powerful, no matter how much knowledge he accumulated.

[@joshythehand2960]

I don't know.. Snape was very powerful even before. He's the only wizard beside voldamort that can fly without a broom. Invented multiple spells while still a child. Could do several feats of magic equal to a 4th or 5th year even before he was a 1st year with a wand. Even while still a true death eater , Snape was VERY powerful

[@stefankroon4615]

Snap can fly because he can groe wings. There's a theory by the Carlin Brothers postulating he is a vampire, and the evidence is very compelling.

Molly Weasley was always underestimated in my opinion, whereas she managed to do tens of simultaneous non-verbal spells all around the house without even having to look at what she was doing. She was also an original member of the Order meaning Dumbledore knew she was highly skills and also she managed to still be standing at the end, which just proves she had skill.

[@fattybabe1]

i though she was not in the original order ...

[@Totenlieder]

She’s not an original member, but her brothers Gideon and Fabian Prewett were. That’s the other thing people forget about Molly, her brothers were stated to be extremely gifted wizards. So much so that it took an entire squad of Death Eaters led by Dolohov to kill them. Naturally growing up she most likely practiced magic and dueling with them, so it shouldn’t be that surprising that she’s as strong as she is. Plus, like you said, she does mostly nonverbal magic throughout the series which is challenging and requires a lot of skill.

I saw a lot of similarities between Cedric Diggery and young Voldemort especially the way they describe how talented he is. For Petigrew to take him out so easily shows that Petigrew is way more dangerous than he looks or acts.

[@lauramiller4939]

Even Voldy considered Pettigrew a weak wizard (explaining how he was unfit to possess). Yes, he learned to do some despicable things, but not very many. He wouldn't have become an animagus without James and Sirius' help. What I always considered weird was that, after such a big build up (by Sirius and Mad Eye mostly) that Karkarov had dropped the names of so many death eaters, it ended up that only one was helpful (Rookwood). All the others were either already in prison, dead or cleared (like Snape). So why would he get a full ministry pardon for what turned out to be a mere one-for-one exchange?

yea, Snape defenitly had the chance of reaching simular hights or atleast realy close to the same lvl of power as those three if he was allowed to grow old. and i have to agree that barty crouch jr is quite underrated. like how mutch would he have been able to grove as a wizard during the decade he was imprisoned first in azkaban and by his father, like there is no way the father would allowed his son having a wand there afther all sr hated his son at the time. despite of that and beeing like 17-18 years or around there if i remember correctly from the book he was able to trick everyone for almost a full year and pretending to be madeye moody who was one of the strongest british auras of all time. its hard to even imagtion what hights that guy could reach if not joining voldermort.

[@edwardarroyo884]

@@hannahlarocco4699 There is a chance, Dumbledore and Voldemort were way older than Snape so they reached the level of power we see them at, Snape was only like 37 which is extremely young for a wizard, Dumbledore was over 100 after all. The main thing is that Snape didn't really have the drive the other two had by the time he got older since he was depressed all the time, if he did he might have became as strong as them if not stronger.

[@gabrieladerre2862]

Regarding Snape not quite being on the level of Dumbledore, Voldemort, Grindewald... I think that he probably could have been at that level, if he had aspired to be. He had a talent and a passion for magic, even in his youth, as evidenced by his Potions book! But he didn't go through that stage that we saw with the 3 great wizards that we are comparing him against, where there was a time where they were in love with power. Snape was always in love with a girl. And then her memory. But not power. At least that's always been my take on it!

​@@gmdwillI'd say he's like the mace windu of the wizarding world 😂

[@HarveyMeadowlark]

I think his age is important to consider as well, he was something like 36 or 37 when he died. And especially in the wizarding world where wizards typically live well beyond 100 years of age, Snape could have continued to grow stronger for many many more years and close the gap a bit between himself and the 115 year old Dumbledore, and 71 year old Riddle. Grindy achieved the height of his power at about 60 years of age, before his loss and subsequent lifelong imprisonment. Snape did not achieve that absolute highest echelon of strength like the big three and I think his age is the biggest reason.

[@angelogarcia2189]

That being said Lucius was probably one of the more powerful Deatheaters yes his magic was astonishing. Probably more powerful than Bella. Voldemort didn't care for Lucius though He thought he was a coward. Voldemort didn't hate Lucius Malfoy, he despised him for his failure. Lucius's fall from grace is a study in irony. During the Second Wizarding War, Lucius was Voldemort's Chief Death Eater; but afterwards, everything went downhill for him.

I'd have placed both the Carrows a little further down the list, simply because they don't appear to have much more intelligence than Crabbe or Goyle, given that neither of them seems to be able to understand a simple concept. From Ch27 of HBP: " 'Look at him -what's happened to you, then, Dumby?' 'Oh, weaker resistance, slower reflexes, Amycus,' said Dumbledore. 'Old age, in short ... one day, perhaps, it will happen to you ... if you are lucky ...' .'What's that mean, then, what's that mean?'" I rest my case. How either of them managed to teach at all is a mystery to me.

[@mangahell8177]

Well puting Dolohov as a teacher would make Voldermort remove two off his most powerfull DE, Voldermort probable didn't trust any Malfoy to be placed as a teacher, Yaxley was working in the ministry which only left Rookwood and everyone comperable to Carrows in terms of inteligence to be placed as teachers

[@thesoftersideofsears]

You said Pettigrew transfigured himself... that's not what he did. He was an animagus. Moody transfigured Draco into a ferret.

With the latter, he could have been even a threat for Voldemort or to put it another way Lily's murderer.

I wouldn't really say that Draco was a death eater. He was just the boy who had no choice. You can tell in the movies that he doesn't want to do it but because of his father he feels like he has to.

[@kyleethekelt]

I disagree about Pettigrew. Even Crabbe *Jr) was able to learn Fiendfyre, even if he couldn't stop it. Not even Voldemort valued Pettigrew; no one valued Pettigrew. Surely all the characters in HP can't have been wrong? However, Voldemort had to take what he could get, especially as people weren't exactly queuing up to help him resurrect. He wouldn't even have been able to become an animagus without James' and Sirius' help (at least, according to Remus).

[@Sebastian-lw5qb]

He still managed to become an Animagus as a teen. Doesn't matter if he had some help. He's also, inspite of his snivelling ways, competent and quite clever. And he managed to fool his friends and the Order for quite some time. I would have placed him even higher. Fourth after Snape, Bella and Barty Junior.

[@jerseybound717]

Voldemort valued wormtail he knew he was loyal but also knew he'd flee at any sign of danger.( he even calls him out for this in the books and movies when he says master i was loyal) If anything he was one of the more loyal death eaters who helped bring Voldemort back even though he did it out of cowardice. Him and Crouch Jr did all the work even Quirrell wasn't much of a help lol. All Quirrell was was a force to feed off of I mean he couldn't even touch harry when the rest of them could. That's cause Voldemort was in him but still useless. Snape, Bella, and Jr, are by far the most powerful death eaters. Snape being the most powerful. Crabbe would have been if he got older and learned to control his magic but a user that cannot control magic isn't powerful. The only reason he conjured that was out of fear of dying. And in turn killed himself. By 1998, Crabbe was skilled with Dark spells, such as the Cruciatus and the Avada Kedavra Curses, and Fiendfyre conjuration. However, when he released the latter, it killed him due to him neglecting its potency. He was powerful but also very stupid Like his father before him. Vincent Crabbe died enclosed in the Room of Requirement, as he apparently did not have the ability to stop the Fiendfyre. After the survivors escaped from the cursed fire, they sat at the seventh-floor corridor (Goyle still Stunned) and watched as the Horcrux broke apart from contact with the fire.

[@kyleethekelt]

\Interesting. From Books Four and Six. From Ch1 of Goblet of Fire: 'I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us." "I am a faithful servant," said Wormtail, the merest trace of sullenness in his voice. "Wormtail, I need somebody with brains, somebody whose loyalty has never wavered, and you, unfortunately, fulfill neither requirement."' now, I don't know about you but if I had been spoken to like that by my boss I wouldn't feel exactly valued. Even Voldemort knew what Wormtail was- and what he wasn't. And from ch33: 'He looked down at Wormtail, who continued to sob. "You returned to me, not out of loyalty, but out of fear of your old friends. You deserve this pain, Wormtail. You know that, don't you?" "Yes, master," moaned Wormtail, "please, master ... please" "Yet you helped return me to my body," said Voldemort coolly, watching Wormtail sob on the ground. "Worthless and traitorous as you are, you helped me ... and Lord Voldemort rewards his helpers ..."' Note that he waited quite a while to give Wormtail a new hand. It would have taken him seconds following his resurrection, and he could have done it right away, but he left his 'valued' servant writhing and sobbing on the ground in front of his other Death Eaters for a bit before he decided to keep his promise. Not the actions of one who values this particular servant IMHO. Furthermore, in HBP he detailed Wormtail to Spinners End to serve Snape, who also didn't value him. From Ch2 'We ... we are alone, aren't we?' Narcissa asked quietly. 'Yes, of course. Well, Wormtail's here, but we're not counting vermin, are we?' He pointed his wand at the wall of books behind him and, with a bang, a hidden door flew open, revealing a narrow staircase upon which a small man stood frozen. And had it never occurred to you that from the end of Book3, no one refers to Peter Pettigrew as anything but Wormtail from then on. Are you really telling me that Voldemort was in the habit of using anyone's pet name? He was arrogant and evil but not stupid. He knew who and what he had and - and made sure they knew he knew. He does value some of his servants, however; he even goes so far as to tell Snape how much he valued him before having him killed.

This is a tough one. I actually think it would be a draw.

[@shaantanunema3073]

if you consider the Head Auror Harry then I think he alone would easily tackle both of them.

[@mukherjeerumela]

Well, James was an auror, and judging from the fact that he defeated The Dark Lord thrice (according to the prophecy) I would say that he would probably be a bit more powerful than Lucius. On the other hand, Draco is obviously an excellent wizard even at a young age (as we see in The Chamber of secrets, where is produced a live snake from his wand. That’s no child’s play.) Harry, though a very ordinary student, is highly skilled in defence, especially due to his constant war against The Dark Lord. They would probably be at equals, but I think Potter Sr would make the Potters win.

[@ashersharol]

@@mukherjeerumela Did you say "defeated" the Dark Lord? No, the prophecy said "defied", big difference. But your point is well taken about James being a head Auror (and I had forgotten about the prophecy, though Lily might have also had a role in them defying Voldemort). You definitely swayed my mind in this reasoning. James and Harry probably are a bit more powerful than the pair of Draco and Lucius.

[@kirti-k]

@@mukherjeerumela James was not an author, that’s the Longbottoms.

[@jerseybound717]

Which is funny because Draco didn't really want to be a death eater "after all" that's why him and his family betrayed Voldemort in the end however he was coerced by Voldemort to BE a death eater. He never really became one he was given the duty to kill Dumbledore to become on and failed miserably because snape took the oath so Draco wouldn't have to kill Dumbledore. He wasn't a Death eater ever But he was to become one after killing Dumbledore and he didn't want to kill him. Basically he wanted to be one and when the chance came to JOIN them to become on he realized that this isn't the card i wanted to play. Even Rowling said this. Rowling commented that "The moment Draco got what he thought he wanted, to become a Death Eater, and given a mission by Lord Voldemort, as he did in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, reality finally hit him" because his dream was "so very different".

@@paulyb7267 being equal to Sirius is not a huge achievement. Sirius is so arrogant, he wouldn’t even look at his opponent. Which is exactly how he got himself killed. He was too busy laughing at Bellatrix shield himself.

[@mukherjeerumela]

Let’s see. James was an auror. He and Lily defied Voldemort thrice. James was a reasonably good student, and quite good at transfiguration. Though he was rather stupid (hence not keeping his wand with him when he knew he and Lily were being hunted for by lord Voldemort), he was extremely brave, and did what he could to help his friends. Bellatrix was a talented witch. In fact, one of Voldemort’s favourites. She was also reasonably intelligent, not to mention utterly insane, which gave her a huge advantage. Since she had murderous thoughts at all times, torturing and killing people was no big deal. She, like her brother Sirius, was extremely arrogant, which got her killed as well. But she was not noble like the Gryffindors. When she saw a chance, she took it. I think Bellatrix would win. She wouldn’t wait for James to wash his hands, put on a coat, kiss his wife and son goodbye, rant a few brave words at her, and then grab his wand. She would straight on kill him while his back was turned. That’s what I think would happen.

Belatrix beaten by a mom Weasly is a result of lazy writting, or just a lack of inspiration, as the whole 7th book is.

[@Cpod97]

It's Harry Potter, not Dragon Ball Z. Differences in power are real but, just like real life, violence is unpredictable. A Navy Seal can be killed by a 14 year old with a gun hidden under their shirt because they don't think they are a threat. Also thematically it makes sense. Bellatrix hated the world and enjoyed cruelty Molly loved the world and the people in it, especially her family. Bellatrix and people like her underestimated just how dangerous a loving person can be if you threaten what they love.
