Well conserning the three points you made out about the prophecy I think that many people curcify snape for this yes he is guilty of delivering it and by the same time putting a target on the potters but it also not to be forget that James and Lily mark themselves for death simply for being order members and we were said that half of the order died before the end of the war if snape didn't give the prophecy it would have landed in the department of misteries where Rookwood could have informed Voldemort or not in any case the war would have continued longer and order members would be killed even more and Peter would have still betryed his friends so they still had a sword on their through

Book readers turning on Snape after the sixth books makes a lot of sense. In the book, Snape doesn't have anywhere near as many redeeming qualities as he does in the films. So book readers wouldn't give him the time of day. So his redemption probably meant a lot more in the books.

[@kalekain3521]

This is a great point actually. If you think about it, Snape really only showed he had a good side practically at the end of the series in the books.

[@marshallpeters7174]

I was very conflicted after reading the sixth book. I couldn't see how Snape could be good after what he did, but I hated the idea that Dumbledore might have been wrong about him.

[@LAZERAK47V2]

@@kalekain3521 Yup and his antagonistic behaviour wasn't reserved for Harry, Ron and Hermione. He very often behaved that way towards other students (especially Griffindors) with regards to Quidditch, almost literally allowing his players to get away with attacking other team members. Snape may have loved Lily a great deal, but ultimately, she's the only person he ever loved. Snape was an outcast all his life and that shows in his behaviour towards pretty much everyone else, he still holds on to all that hate and anger from his past.

About Ginny in HBP: she spent so much time with Harry in summer after Sirius's death and gave him emotional support, she tried to reason with Ron and defend her right to be in relationship with Dean, she won the Quidditch Cup, she agreed to be Harry's girlfriend when he "asked" her, she fought against Death Eaters to protect the school, she supported Harry after Dumbledore's death, she understood Harry's intentions when he decided to break up with her. She is my favorite character in 6th book. But still, I think that some other characters could also be named as best ones, especially Dumbledore.

[@coachgoltzbizpro23]

Love the points stated in this comment! Definitely true that other characters could be considered the best in not only HBP, but most of the series. I'm biased towards Ginny personally, since she clocks in as my second favorite character in the series behind Neville, especially once I finally read the books, but we can't say she doesn't earn it im this book. Another great moment that wasn't listed here had to be the Bat Bogey Hex bit on the Hogwarts Express that gets her into the Slug Club.

[@TheDurgh202]

@djspark191 Aye!! Now that's pretty clever, i hadn't thought of that. But that does have me asking the question. Would other Deatheaters need to know how to defend them from attacks by other deatheaters? Because "honorable" witches and wizards don't use those curses. So they wouldnt need to defend against those in a battle with their typical enemies right?

[@Foxy-ht8kn]

Voldemort probably would have said, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" instead.....

[@lukebaxter3252]

One could argue for Lucius Malfoy for being the worst in Chamber of Secrets. Think about it, he had Tom Riddle's diary, only knowing that it would open the Chamber of Secrets and therefore, lead to the deaths of many Muggle-Borns, planting it with Ginny, the daughter of his arch rival, Arthur Weasley. And there's the fact that he tried to discredit Arthur publicly through his comments in the Daily Prophet and he even tried sacking Dumbledore from being Headmaster at Hogwarts.

[@Yous707]

Tbh I can’t say who the best and worst character in the books but i might say in the movies

[@LAZERAK47V2]

The worst part about Fudge is that all the signs were there when we first meet him (third book, after Harry inflates his aunt Marge). Harry asks why he isn't being punished for using magic (this time it was both him and deliberate, unlike in the second book, where Dobby was the one who performed it) and Fudge just immediately backpedals because he doesn't want to be known for expelling the Boy who Lived. Ron even makes a comment that if it had been him, they would've had to dig him up to put him on trial because his mother would have killed him. And then when Order of the Phoenix rolls around (at this point, Fudge has spent the entirety of the summer slandering Harry in The Daily Prophet), he deliberately changes the trial time in the hopes that Harry and Dumbledore will miss the trial, thereby being found guilty in absence. Arthur even implies that those rooms hadn't been used since the First Wizarding War, where they held trials for Death Eaters. Dumbledore also comments on the absurdity of using those rooms for a simple case of underage magic. Finally, after the witness testimony from Mrs. Figg, he tries to bring up Harry's past uses of magic, one of which he deliberately pardoned (his exact words were "He blew up his aunt, for God's sake!", playing it off like it was some huge catastrophe) and the other of which had another witness who was readily available to testify (and Fudge immediately backpedals on this point as well, saying he "doesn't have time to listen to House Elves"). The man literally didn't have a leg to stand on and he still pushed for a guilty verdict as hard as he could. But one thing we can say for Fudge is that despite all his politicking and denial, he still upheld the law. The same cannot be said for Umbridge, who unleashed Dementors on Harry without the Ministry's authorization or knowledge, not caring about collateral damage (Dudley Dursley almost had his soul stolen and would have had no way to protect himself if not for Harry) and was fully prepared to use the Cruciatus Curse on students in order to force a confession out of them (her exact words in response to being told it was illegal were "What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him."). Fudge was scum, for sure, but Umbridge absolutely deserved the spot. It's absolutely baffling (and tragically, very real) that she still had a job after year 5, given her actions.

[@Ori_Kohav]

Another thing to add about Snape, right at the start of the school year, he removes 70 points from Gryffindor for Harry being late and for wearing a muggle attire. He didn’t even try to hear Harry out, he conveniently ignored the fact that Harry was bleeding, and removing THAT many points for those reasons is beyond ridiculous, not to mention letting Malfoy get away with another terrible act. and that’s of course if we only filter to HBP. In PoA and GoF, he does some very outrageous things that teachers in real life would get fired for.

One of my friends says that Luna is her all-time favorite Harry Potter character. She made an observation about Luna that has stuck with me forever. She said that Luna is Harry's friend just to be his friend. She doesn't want anything from him, she's just his friend. And yeah, Luna's just awesome. She's unapologetically herself 100% of the time. We find out that she is aware of what other people think of her but she doesn't let it get her down. I love her last conversation with Harry in book 5. She is not angry about people taking her stuff. She's just like, it's all in fun, but, as it is the last day, I really do need them back. Luna is frank about her mother. "Yes, it was rather horrible. I still get very sad about it, sometimes. But, I've still got Dad, and it's not like I'll never see her, again." Again, unapologetically vulnerable and still able to have hope and keep going. That's what Harry needed, I think. And her Quiddich match hats along with her announcing a quiddich match in the 6th book, getting bored and talking about interesting shaped clouds is priceless! I appreciate you openness about your struggles with mental health and engaging in therapy, Morgan. I'm so glad you've found someone you can bring your struggles to.

[@Tyler-c4g]

Lockhart is such an underrated villain in the series mostly due to his lack of connection to the Death Eaters. Because of this, coupled with his portrayal in the films, and most people tend to think of him as a silly side character. This dude tracked down some of the most accomplished people of his time, many of whom are likely still actively defending their villages and people, and he effectively destroyed them for personal gain. He didn't do it for a cause or for some since of twisted righteousness. It was all self serving. Lockhart is more of a predator than a antagonist. His only saving grace was his utter incompetence at most branches of magic which essentially nerfed him. Had he been slightly more competent, he would have been extremely dangerous.

[@aarkansinghal6633]

I don't think I would call Lockhart evil for everything though. He had an evil moment in CoS for sure, but I felt that he was mainly a fraud. He's a pretty despicable person no doubt but I wouldn't call him evil when you compare him to many of the actually evil characters we see throughout the series (countless death eaters and Voldemort himself and Umbridge). I guess his story just goes to teach the readers that it's important to deserve credit rather than take away someone else's.

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

I so agree with Ginny Weasley being the best character in the Half Blood Prince book. She was hilarious and showed how determined she was and was one of my favorite parts of the book. I also agree with Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Rita Skeeter, Umbridge, and Snape with their placements. Lupin demonstrated his skill in magic and was very caring, Peter betrayed his friends, Rita turned the public against lots of good characters and it was satisfying when she got her karma, Umbridge I was annoyed by so much that I stopped reading for a bit to gather my thoughts and her karma is the most satisfying karma out of any villain in the series, and Snape was shown to be a traitor to the good guys and the man who trusted him.

In my opinion, the worst character in the Chamber of Secrets was Lucius Malfoy, mainly because he practically caused everything that happened. From slipping Tom Riddle’s dairy to Ginny Weasley, thus allowing his spirit to hypnotize her into petrifying all the Muggle-borns with the Basilisk, to making a bad situation even worse by suspending Dumbledore from the school. While Lockhart was insufferable with his boastful demeanor and, I’d even go so far as to say Draco was punchable for being a bigoted prick throughout the novel, it all stems from his father who deliberately caused and then escalated the conflict because he was, for the time, still loyal to Voldemort.

[@senseiplays4663]

Luna Lovegood is probably my favourite character after Sirius Black. I think shes incredibly underrated. She really helped harry in the 5th Book and was also a great friend for harry in the 6th. It seemed to me that because she was so different from everyone else in the series, harry trusted her opinion without second question. She built him up without supplying fuel to harrys ego, especially in book 6 when harry becomes the chosen one. Her down to earth attitude was always a place of solace for harry. It made me sad that she never married Harry, I always thought they'd be a good couple, but of course she ends up with Neville which is still a win.

[@JamesMC04]

My list, starting with PS: Best: Mrs Norris, for being a cat Worst: Dumbledore, for falsifying the House Cup scores, favouritism, & sending the message that cheating is good Chamber of Secrets: Best: Ron Weasley, for his courage facing his arachnophobia in particularly difficult circumstances Worst: Mrs Weasley, for humiliating Ron with the Howler; he already has a severe lack of self-confidence, & that does not help Dishonourable Mention: Albus Dumbledore, for inflicting a pompous ignoramus & fraud on his pupils for a year, thereby depriving them of much-needed education. Prisoner of Azkaban: Best: Cedric Diggory, for showing maturity of character, sportsmanship, kindness & fair-mindedness Worst: Hagrid, for wantonly continuing to expose juveniles to extremely dangerous animals Dishonourable Mention: Aunt Marge, for her revolting behaviour to Harry. Goblet of Fire: Best: Frank Bryce, for doing his job in the face of unknown dangers, at the cost of his own life Worst: Peter Pettigrew, for being a snivelling coward & traitor Order of the Phoenix: Best: Luna Lovegood, for showing kindness & strength of character Worst: Trelawney, for her intolerance to Firenze. She has no excuse, after experiencing Umbridge's behaviour to herself, which makes her own intolerance far worse than it would have been. Dishonourable Mention: James Potter. But he has the excuse of knowing no better than to be a bully, because he is only 15; unlike Professor Trelawney, who is an adult. Half-Blood Prince: Best: Snape, for taking the Unbreakable Vow Worst: Fenrir Greyback, who has no redeeming qualities of any kind, and permanently scarred Bill Weasley Deathly Hallows: Best: Narcissa Malfoy, for saving Harry's life at great risk to herself, & for being a loving mother to Draco Very Honourable Mention: Aberforth Dumbledore Worst: Rita Skeeter, for publishing sensationalist half-truths about the deceased Albus Dumbledore, even after being taught a much-needed lesson by Hermione in OOTP. Why no mention of Bellatrix Lestrange, who is a very nasty piece of work ? Because she is unhinged, & not entirely sane. If there were a category for Most Irresponsible, there would be a four-way tie between: Albus Dumbledore Hagrid Snape Sirius but Dumbledore is probably the clear winner.

[@MoobiusToobius]

Hermione should’ve been the best character in the Deathly Hallows. She carried the big three when both Harry and Ron had given up in their own separate ways. Hermione made sure all three of them were fed and had to deal with the antics of the other two. She had all of the break throughs in that book and was the only one with any sense of what they should do. One example of her being the thinker in the group is how she was the one who planned the whole ministry break in and she was the one who made the Pollyjuice Potion. She made the whole plan and went over it again and again with the boys to make sure they understood. She also predicted that going to Godric’s Hollow would be a bad idea and only let them do it as a last resort.

[@MoobiusToobius]

Hermione was the queen of this book

[@nunoneves5809]

[@Niaax_09]

[@Gruntslayer356]

i remember when the half blood prince book came out and read it. I knew there was more to it on why snape killed Dumbledore. putting the pieces together. He protected harry in the first book and showed him all these things that helped him grow in power mostly indirectly. I knew there was some method to snapes "madness" when he did it.

[@CatieCass]

I respectfully disagree with your "best" pick for number 3. I love Remus, truly I do, but the best character begins and ends with Sirius Black.

[@Foxy-ht8kn]

In book 7, I personally think the Carrow siblings deserve an honorable mention for the worst characters. They literally tortured students with illegal curses. Also, hot take alert, my favorite character in book 4 is Cedric Diggory. He is so good natured and Harry would not have managed the second task without him. He is also the truest Hufflepuff in the entire series tied with Tonks (whose first name I won't say for obvious reasons).

[@evelyngrammar]

Snape was never redeemed in my eyes. Too many terrible things to wipe them all off in the final book.

[@sastryvnk4402]

Snape literally risked his life to protect Harry and help him defeat Voldemort, all out of his loyalty and love to Lily. How does that not redeem him? Sure, he may be nasty and cruel, but he genuinely loved Lily.

[@AG-Asim]

​@@sastryvnk4402Loving someone isn't much of a redemption. It doesn't take away the fact that he spited harry for looking like his father during the books. He bullied neville so much that his greatest fear was Snape. It doesn't even take away the fact that he was hoping voldy would just kill the father and son duo and leave lily alone so that after their death he could potentially be with her. It doesn't take away that he joined a genocidal terrorist group willingly granted he did become a spy but nevertheless. If you are gonna argue abt helping harry, then to a degree so did draco and he is still a piece of shit and was never redeemed same with narcissa

[@sastryvnk4402]

@@AG-Asim I wouldn't say Draco wasn't redeemed. Not that he was fully redeemed or that he magically transformed into a nice guy, but to say he wasn't redeemed at all is going too far. As for Snape, he did realize how wrong it was to let Harry and James die in exchange for Lily and asked Dumbledore to protect the whole family.

[@skywraith6454]

@@sastryvnk4402 snape didn't realize how wrong he was, he only cared for lily, and only said to protect whole family just so dumbledore would do so, he was one of the worst characters in the series, all bad he did doesn't go away just cause he loved lily, a woman who didn't love him back but i agree that malfoy didn't have redemption either, he never became "good guy", he was just too weak willed to kill and was coward in the end

[@Tyler-c4g]

@@sastryvnk4402 Snape's whole redemption arc is based on his obsession with his high school crush. He never actually cared about Harry. Snape was obsessed with Lily, but still joined a racist cult in school and used a slur towards his obsession when all she did was try to help him against his bullies. Later, Snape fully commits to join the racist army in open aggression. This army has and continues to attack and harm/kill people they think are less than them. The only reason Snape decides to change sides was when he learned his boss wanted to kill his crush. When he begs Dumbledore to help, he admits he tried to convince his boss to spare Lily, but mentions nothing about her baby. Harry's first day of school, after just finding out he is a wizard and is also famous, Snape asks him advanced course materials and then openly mocks him for not knowing the answers. That was their first conversation and Snape set the tone. Imagine for moment, you have a son going to school and is being bullied by a teacher who you used to bully when you were in high school. You'd have a pretty big issue with that, wouldn't you? Can't forget, it isn't just Harry who receives Snape's ire. Neville's biggest fear in the whole world, which includes dementors, banshees, giant spiders, and worse, his biggest fear is his teacher being in the same room as him. MASSIVE red flag there. In Goblet of Fire, Harry and Draco have a very brief duel before Potions. Their spells hit bystanders in the crossfire, and Hermione is hit with Draco's curse. When Snape sends people to the nurse, Ron demands Hermione be allowed to go as well. Snape is then shown her teeth, which are growing rapidly out of her mouth. What does he do? He cruelly mocks a disfigured student by saying he doesn't see anything different about her. Snape was a horrible person on the right side of history. Of course he was brave to spy against Voldemort, but that doesn't give him any right to be vindictive to students because he had a bad life. It does nothing for his cover as a spy, and he clearly enjoys it. In the end, he got what he deserved. He died alone, with no family, and in the moment of his death no one loved him in his eyes.

In my opinion, the best character for DH was Snape. His story and twist was so impactful, and really changed the way people looked at different events in the series. And if we go into bravery (which yes is a subjective thing), going behind the back of one of the most powerful wizards who would most likely give him a fate worst than death if caught is a pretty ballsy move, and that’s only one thing

Yay! I am so glad for a video. When we were reading the chapter where Umbridge punishes Harry, my youngest blurted out, "that bitch!" She cupped her hand over her mouth. We told her it was okay. This was an appropriately bad situation and sometimes we use that language when we are surprised.

[@3SailorMartin]

It may seem insane BUT here's my theory on Barty Crouch Jr: He wasn't originally a Deatheater: He was put under the Imperius Curse (most likely by Bellatrix) which had either worn off or been broken by the time of his trial. His father was a high ranking Ministry official, it would be a large coup for his son to be framed as a Deatheater. After he went to Azkaban, he either went crazy or was so angry at the injustice and his father or both that he switched sides voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences and was more than happy to help Voldemort with whatever needed doing. One thing never really made sense to me though. Why make sure that Harry could throw off the Imperius Curse? You would think it would be a liability for him to be able to do that.

[@carlossoto1715]

Let’s be real, as atrocious as Dolores is (and she truly is), Fudge and Percy also deserve dishonorable mentions for worst character in the Order of the Phoenix. Fudge’s actions are what kickstarted the plot of the 5th book, leading of course to him truly becoming the worst Minister of Magic in existence. As for Percy, while nowhere near as important, him abandoning his family for the Ministry was on a whole other level for him. Like he abandons everyone, even though he feuded the worst with his father and disregarded Fred and George the most.

[@Tyler-c4g]

I still don't think Hagrid gets enough credit in this series. He was the one who brought Harry safely from his childhood home, when few could be trusted to do so. He brought him back into the wizarding world. He even baked Harry a cake for his 11th birthday, despite really not knowing the boy. Hagrid was always a safe space for Harry and his friends. He was a positive influence on Harry too. In Goblet of Fire, Harry was perfectly fine lying to Hermione about his progress on the second clue, but Harry felt gutted to lie to Hagrid about it and it motivated him to work harder. In both Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hollows, Hagrid's life is in grave danger in the midst of a crazy battle or fight and the only thing Harry could do is run to help Hagrid. Harry doesn't have many father figures who actually cared about him as a person. Sirius did so out of a weird twisted since of longing for James, Dumbledore straight up raised Harry to die for the greater good, and obviously Vernon is just an abuser. Lupin was a good role model, but limited in access to Harry outside of Prisoner of Azkaban. Arthur cared for Harry, but with 7 other kids and a full-time job there wasn't much of him to go around to support Harry. Hagrid though, from day one he was there for Harry and cared for Harry not because of the fame or history, but because he saw Harry for who he was. He was empathetic to the boy with no friends coming into a school where everyone knew your name. He'd lay down his life without a regret in his mind to protect Harry. It ripped my heart out when Hagrid had to carry the lifeless body of Harry from the woods back to the school believing Harry to be dead. He's not perfect, no character is. But I think he may be one of the closest to perfection in terms of values and actions.

[@SiVlog1989]

In terms of worst character of book 6, a dishonourable mention, in my view, goes to Hermione. She was almost completely out of character in HBP. Not only did she send the Canaries at Ron because he broke her heart by kissing Lavender (yes, he had been saying terrible things to her as well, due to Ginny saying that Hermione had snogged Krum, but it doesn't excuse physically hurting him), but she refused to take Harry's concerns and suspicions about what Malfoy was up to, to the extent that she would find any excuse to not take Harry's evidence seriously (even he gets exasperated by the lengths she was going, by saying to her, "you're unbelievable you are, we'll see who's right. You'll be eating your words Hermione, just like the ministry,") and she got irrationally angry that Harry was following unofficial instructions on Potions making that produced better and better results than the official instructions, and when Harry was feeling guilty about using Sectumsempra on Malfoy, not knowing that it slashed through human skin like an invisible sword, she laid bare how much she disapproved of it by saying that Harry "gained a reputation for Potions brilliance he didn't deserve". In general, many of her redeeming features were not there in HBP, very frustrating

[@emily79519]

You can't really blame Hermione for her reaction to Ron in HBP. He was so cruel to her in that book and she had no idea why Ron was being so mean. Yeah, her reactions weren't healthy but they don't compare to Ron's at all

[@FunnyCatVideos2118]

Your picks are perfect! Maybe an underrated best and worst from book 7 are Regulus Black as best, and Mundungus Fletcher as worst?

[@ShuvajitSaha-jn6fv]

Dear Mr Morgan I am a great fan of your videos and I must acknowledge the fact that your knowledge and understanding of the wizarding world is absolutely amazing. In the context of this video I am of the same opinion as you are except for the second novel. In my opinion the worst character should be Lucius Malfoy. He was in possession of Lord Voldemort's horcrux even though he did not know he was holding a fragment of his master's soul. However he got rid of the incriminating object and planted it among Ginny's books. Had it not been for Harry Potter Ginny might have taken all the blame and it would have been detrimental for Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act. He also wanted to humiliate the Weasleys because they were blood traitors. He also blackmailed the school governors and forced them to suspend Dumbledore. Lucius Malfoy's act is also significant from the point of plot development. It made Dumbledore realise that Tom Riddle has created horcruxes. Among the best characters Dobby needs special mention. Even though he was a house elf he defied his master and warned Harry of imminent danger. In the last novel he also rescued Harry from Malfoy manor.

[@tgiacin435]

I swear, 2 people I have the misfortune of sharing the same job campus with are the literal embodiments of Lockhart and Umbridge.
