Ranking Every Gryffindor Character’s Bravery: Least Brave to Most Brave (Harry Potter Explained)

Harry spent 10 years enduring abusive conditions and with absolutely no friends and - unlike Draco - he chose to reject his toxic upbringing and treat people with kindness and decency. He constantly put his friends and fellow students above himself even when they turned on him (which happened on more than one occasion). Not to mention that when the chips were down, he was basically always the one who got the job done. Quirrell, Basilisk, Dementors, Voldemort multiple times etc. In the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he - along with Neville - was still standing when the Order arrived while everyone else had gone down. He was the only person smart enough to deduce the correct path of the Elder Wand and thus figure out that he actually had the advantage when everyone else who knew about the wand assumed Voldemort did. He figured that out in the middle of a huge battle. Good luck to anyone else in the entire series piecing that together in those circumstances. Not the first time either; just by watching Malfoy's behaviour in Diagon Alley, he deduced that Malfoy joined the Death Eaters, which nobody outside of Dumbledore (who already knew) believed. Harry's logical/tactical sense is very underrated. And in case anyone forgot...he willingly walked into what looked for all the world like a certain death sentence when he allowed Voldemort to strike him down, just so the world would have a chance to defeat him. Sure, he's impulsive and quick to anger, but all that does is make him human. His kindness, empathy and courage far outstrip his flaws and bear in mind, he turned out to be a truly good person even while a piece of Voldemort was literally living in him. Wearing a Horcrux as a necklace was enough to amplify a person's negative traits, so imagine how much worse it would be with it actually merged with you. That Harry overcame that and an abusive upbringing to still be so good is a strength of character unmatched in the series. Also, small thing, but his sassy snark is up there with the Twins and Ron for best humour in the series. Harry Potter is an amazing character and a truly extraordinary person

[@sanjoykumardas4018]

100% true, you just explained every reason I love this guy.

[@occheermommy]

That is completely true. And when people complain of him being sassy it is usually in book 5 but that book Voldemort is made aware of their connection and is using it to try and affect Harry. That’s why he was angry with Dumbledore after the snake attack. He is a complex character but for sure pure of heart.

In DH while at the Burrow she did everything she could to keep Harry, Ron, and Hermione from having private time together so they couldn't plan anything, and she made Ginny stay in the Room of Requirement during half if not most of the battle, she was only able to join the battle because Harry, Ron, and Hermione needed to use the room.

Dumbledore didn't put off his fight with Grindelwald out of cowardice, he literally couldn't because of the blood pact. And as soon as it was broken, he immediately faced the man he was in love with for the sake of the world, and even orchestrated his own death to take down Voldemort

[@alexschletzbaum1815]

It was never broken actually. That's why he never killed grindlewald. Because the blood pact prevented him from killing grindlewald

[@TheRealTricky]

There's a little rub, though. Dumbledore was unable or most of all unwilling to see that Grindelwald was a dark wizard and that he was on the edge of becoming a very dangerous dark wizard himself and Aberforth could not get him to listen to reason. It took the death of Ariana to make Albus realize this. And it worries me to think what would have happened if Ariana didn't get killed.

[@Dragonspawn24]

Honestly Neville is probably the bravest of them all. Having to bear not only constant bullying, harassment, and embarrassment throughout his entire time at Hogwarts while going home to an overbearing grandmother as your parents are stuck in a mental hospital could have severely messed up a person. Instead Neville rose to the challenge and never hesitated to risk his life fighting the same people who drove his parents mad, while directly contributing to Voldermort’s defeat. Neville will always have my undying respect as a character for everything he endured and overcame.

[@caiomorgado1535]

I feel like Parvati should have been in the brave tier, just like Dean, since the main thing that put him there (fighting with Travers and Dolohov) was done by both of then together, not Dean alone. Not only that, Parvati also stood up against Pansy Parkinson, defending Neville in book 1 and she also always stood up for Lavender and Professor Trelawney against Hermione's witty and somewhat insensitive remarks in the early books, which shows her courage to defend her friends and people she admires, something some of her classmates like Seamus and Lavender never do. I could make a similar case about Katie Bell: we might not see her fighting much, but she stood up to defend and help people, like when she defended Hermione against Draco and Marcus Flint when they called her a mudblood in book 2. And honestly, you have to be brave to keep playing quidditch with the amount of times Katie had the quaffle get thrown in her face and it would break her nose.

Pettigrew may have been drawn to Gryffindor due to his desire to be like his friends and gain their acceptance.

[@LuvSlushie]

For all those wondering why Peter Pettigrew was sorted into Gryffindor, I always saw it this way. Remember when Harry said I’m not as good as you to Hermione and she said “humm…books and cleverness. There are more important things like friendship and bravery.” Many people think Hermione should have been in Ravenclaw because she is so intelligent but I think you get sorted into the house of the traits you admire most and want to be. Like with Neville, he started out the opposite but became the bravest because of the influence being in Gryffindor had on him. Peter Pettigrew admired people who were brave and strong which is why he gravitated towards them even though he didn’t possess those qualities himself. Peter had the potential to improve like Neville did but ultimately failed. A hint at his potential goodness though is when he shows mercy to Harry and Ron in the Deathly Hallows but Peters bravely was all too late.

[@briesullivan883]

That wasn’t really goodness on Peter’s part. Harry spared his life in the third book. That means that Peter was magically indebted towards Harry and would have an involuntary compulsion towards returning the favor.

If it was based on who you are, he's undeniably a Slytherin, cause he's nothing if not cunning. If it's based on what you value most, he's undeniably a Ravenclaw given he WANTS to be the smartest.

She also tried to keep the kids safe at all cost, like breaking up the Golden Trio to keep them from planning, even when she knew they would be both frustrated and angry with her. And keep in mind that the only Ginny was underage, so the others could have just left and cut ties at any time (not that they would have (Percy excluded)).

I would argue that Arthur and Molly deserve to be a bit higher, maybe bottom of the Bravest tier.

I agree with all of them and where they were placed, but don't forget that Molly Weasley let harry stay in her home when tons of dark wizards and the ministry were looking for him. She also stood by his side and was like a mother to him

[@Pattmore]

As a proud member gryffindor house this video brings me joy And I’m glad you included a Hogwarts legacy characters😁

[@shashankshekhar6952]

He included 2...

[@EmpressSectonia]

When Natsi did this, she realized she did it out of instinct to protect us, as her father did. She no longer blames herself for her father's death and finds closure knowing he died defending one of the people he loved most. Natsi Onai has a great character arc along with Sebastian Sallow.

[@mangahell8177]

I think the idea is that wormtail admiries bravery and power while doesn't poses enough traits from other houses to be placed there

[@Aspen_Suxs]

I actually think he has many of the traits of slytherin. Almost everything he did was in the name of self preservation. Constantly joining up with more powerful wizards who could protect him? Self preservation. Framing Sirius for the potters death? Self preservation. Living as scabbers all those years? Self preservation. Also, despite everything he was quite cunning and resourceful. Him cutting off his finger before going into hiding to make everyone believe he was dead shows cunning. his using his animagus form to hide all those years shows resourcefulness. Also him hiding behind people more powerful could also be seen as resourcefulness, as he knew he wasn’t strong enough on his own so he used the resources available to him to keep himself safe. And obviously leadership is a trait of slytherin house so it could be argued he shouldn’t be in it because he is very obviously not a leader, but we see from many slytherins in the series that said trait isn’t always present

[@mangahell8177]

@@Aspen_Suxs The thing is his self preservation only extendents to keeping himself alive nothing else so it's limited, he's cunning only when it truly matters not on a regular, resourcefulness allright let's be honest to our selves half of the character in HP would be in slytherin if we go off them being resourceful plus his momments of resourcefulness feel more like camon sense than anything else and he simply doesn't have ambition or leadership. So besicly Wormtail doesn't have two traits, two only apply in very limited circumstances and one trait would besicly make half off gryfindors into slytherins

[@Aspen_Suxs]

@@mangahell8177 very true, but then again he has about as many traits of gryffindor as he does slytherin so I feel like it could have gone either way

[@Aspen_Suxs]

After doing a bit of research apparently his sorting caused a hat stall because it couldn’t chose between gryffindor and slytherin

[@maxsearle4650]

Totally agree that Harry is the bravest character

[@edwardsailer722]

Choosing to be the Quidditch Captain does not equate to bravery. With that argument, why aren't the other Quidditch Captains from other houses sorted into Gryffindor? Also, Arthur being ranked down for not standing up to Molly doesn't make him a coward. Molly never tried to dominate Arthur in their relationship. They communicated. I did not see a reason for him either of them to "stand up" to each other.

[@Calebs.bowling]

Not to mention Ron’s bravest moment, going to the Yule ball in those dress robes.

[@sanjaysundareshwar2688]

Dumbledore had a blood pact with grinderwald so he couldn’t attack him

[@AlexandruCalipetre2010]

But you didn't consider the fact that Lupin ran away from tonks and teddy which was kinda coward

[@audreymilton6436]

I disagree with Sirius. He is the bravest tier. The main reason is he demanded to go to the department of Mysteries to save his god son despite risking his life again in Azkaban. He rather save his godson and potentially be caught then stay at home in safety. Even Voldemort wasn’t brave enough to go to the ministry in case of capture. On top of this, he stud up against his family’s pureblood mania; was part of the Order of the Phoenix in his late teens; bravely came back to England when Harry needed him in the Goblet if Fire; and remained in his childhood home for the order - which took a lot of psychological and emotional bravery.

[@larrythecucumber6386]

Lily is so brave especially because Voldemort gave her the choice to die with Harry or to survive, and she willingly stepped in front of Harry

[@stephj505]

Yeah but I think James is a little braver than Lily since he tried to fight Voldemort without his wand and didn't have the option to be spared.

[@AidanHellrigel]

[@Arek.Arkadiusz]

13:45 at this point we already know it wasn't becasue he was a coward - he couldn't fight him, becasue he made a Blood Pact with him.

[@Abbyravenclaw92]

Right!!!

[@LeeKD93]

Neville and Lupin are like polar opposites as kids but both ended up being among bravest. Where Neville lacked bravery as a child in the more typical sense he was brave enough to stand against his peers which Lupin could never do. Meanwhile Lupin was able to partake in the Marauders schemes as well as just freely exploring the grounds and Forbidden Forest with his friends in his werewolf form. Both would grow into much braver man than before but it’s interesting to me that Neville only grew braver and braver in all aspects where as Lupin would still struggle to face and oppose those who were amongst his friends and peers

[@northstarpokeshipper2148]

[@airsoft1238]

You should do this with the other 3 houses like for example, rank all Hufflepuffs from most loyal to least.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

Smith would definitely be at the bottom. I'm honestly not sure why he's a Hufflepuff, tbh

[@Moonylovegood]

​@@thedragonwarrior5861i think the sorting hat takes a person's values into consideration more than their abilities, so maybe he valued loyalty and honesty, even if he didn't show those traits (which is kinda hypocritical, ngl)

[@grec.]

Morgan, putting Ginnie to be bravest then Albus Dumbledore is a reach. If it was for facing Tom Riddle when she was 11, Albus not only faced Tom Riddle Jr AKA Voldemort, but he fought him and won by a landslide and dis that while protecting Harry. And he also ultimately faced Gellert, foght him and won what was called the most epic duel of the (20th) century.

[@itssimplylolaASMR]

I agree with some of your points, however ordinary Bravery, not superhero bravery is what can separate some people apart. Because bravery is subjective, what you are afraid of (and over come) is different to the next person. You might find something easy that someone else finds brave. Albus may have found dueling and magic easy and so would not have had to have as much courage to do those as others, and so as we see him as brave for those he sees those as slightly challenging activities. However, The things that really challenged Dumbledore, such as telling harry he had to die was something out of his comfort zone, and so he was not brave enough to do it. Ginny was pushed out of her comfort zone lots and managed to not only cope but thrive shows real bravery that Mabye even conquerd Dumbledores. Not saying she is more skilled (she's not ) but that's just my thought process.

[@grec.]

@@itssimplylolaASMR Makes sense the relativity of bravery of Ginnie and Albus. But I think that is still an exaggeration to not place Albus in the bravest tear and to place Ginnie, just because she was taken out of her comfort zone in things as ordinary as her personal life that didn't impact the wizarding world as much as Albus deeds, that indeed must had required some sort of bravery. But well, we all have our own ways to perceive these topics.

[@itssimplylolaASMR]

@@grec. love that point didn't really think of t like that!

[@grec.]

@@itssimplylolaASMR Yeah. I really like that we both see the matter differently and the way you see it is maybe the thought process Morgan used to compare Ginnie with Albus.

[@brockgage12]

I was surprised when u put sir cadagon in the bravest tier but u made a fair point which made me agree

[@Polaris_Real]

You did Percy dirty

[@Noa_314]

I think Wormtail is not a coward when Snape is double agent working for Dumbledore while pretending he was loyal to Voldemort he is called the bravest but when Wormtail is also double agent bud working for Voldemort while pretending to be loyal to Dumbledore he is called a coward

[@ArgyleKatt]

Sir Caduggan is just the embodiment of “Fuck it, we ball”

[@realgamerguyvlog32]

I agree with your list. Peter definitely deserves to be at rock bottomm

[@jah2017]

Very accurate list in my opinion. I subbed. I don't know why I haven't done it earlier, your videos are always high quality. 👍🏻

[@WaItuhWhite]

Harry even accepted the fact that he had to be killed by Voldemort

[@Tasha9315]

For James, I think his act of risking his life to save Snape and defying Voldemort 3 times were likely braver acts than defending his family? Or at least should count?

[@joshuagorski9452]

Pettigrew was probably sorted in Gryffindor just cause he wanted to be (in my opinion, at least)

[@leonerd1762]

Lee and Dean are both in the bravest because they conducted Radio Potter, knowing that if they were find they were both killed by the death eater and also moving constantly is hard in the war time, so for me they are both in the bravest

[@kayleebarton7036]

Let’s just appreciate how much time and effort is put in these videos

[@GamingAnimator1]

Everyone always making a big deal about Slytherin being the most "evil" house and yet the most evil HP character I think is in the Gryffindor house. Wormtail. This dude is responsible for Harry's parents' deaths, killed innocents to fake his death, got his best friend sentenced to life in prison, and was the reason Voldemort returned.

[@naskardk1]

Gotta mention the bravest thing Hermione did which was obliviating the memory of her parents and send them to Australia

[@nadirtouil991]

in my opinion the bravest thing hermione did when she fighting bellatrix

[@wit-grizzly2423]

Make this a series with the other houses, like for slytherin rank ambition(because not all slytherin’s are bad) loyalty or kind harted for Huffelpuff and intelligence, Wit or creativity for Ravenclaw.

[@moonyloops]

for hermione, i think it’s worth mentioning that when she wiped her parents memories, she didn’t know if she would see them again, she didn’t even know if she would make it out of the war alive. for me, that was her bravest moment.

[@stephfahey1101]

Also, she always had Harry's back. Ron dipped out a couple times but Hermoine never did.

[@Soph1aF]

I would put Dumbledore in the bravest. He actually did stand up to Grindewald before Arianna died, and ended up defeating him. He also established to Order and faced Voldemort SO MANY TIMES! When Snape told him Dumbledore was about to die, he accepted it, and used his death for the good so Draco's soul wouldn't be ruined. I have other examples, but these are the prime ones.

[@VivaanJose-hn7pc]

i cant believe bro put oliver wood higher than lupin arthur and molly

[@rustydaboyrobot]

Arthur goes in the bravest tier for me. There was never a fight he wasn't part of...he worked guard duty knowing Voldemort might be the one coming to get the prophecy, and he created a law ..with loopholes...so he could get away with experimenting with Muggle stuff.... AND, there's the fight with Lucius Malfoy. But, the icing on the cake is actually one the movies glossed over. When George was injured, he would not "allow" Kingsley to slow him in the slightest in getting to his son. Sure, he wants to make Molly happy ..it's his wife. But, when it comes to his children, Arthur is very scary. And, if he had been close by, I have zero doubt HE would have taken Bellatrix out, not Molly. There's a few changes here and there....and Id leave out the video game stuff....but pretty logical take on this Brave list. Also, i dont see Dumbledore as "cowardly " in those actions....just overly protective. He has Snape kill him to keep Draco from falling to "the dark side" permanently, and it's TRUE he avoided the fight with Grendelwald longer than some would like...it was like fighting your brother. I wonder how many people would rush into a fight that would lead to your brother's death....just after you MIGHT have killed your sister. The MOST cowardly thing Dumbledore does is.. .he never finds out if HE accidentally killed Arianna. It was something he couldn't face. Tgif! 😊

[@Evie-edits06]

I agree with all of these rankings

[@giladzxc17]

About pettigrew’s sorting- he clearly doesn’t fit any of the houses. He isn’t brave, loyal, clever nor ambitious. But, I think his sorting fits exactly like slughorn’s- slughorn is a slytherin not because he is ambitious, but because he values and is attracted to ambition. Just like pettigrew is fond of bravery.

[@lexibroadbent1467]

I mostly agree, but with two exceptions. I would move James down and lavender up to Brave. James was very brave in his final act, but I think his bullying is cowardice enough that it takes him down. As for lavender, she did die fighting. She fell from the astronomy tower because of damages to the tower in the battle and was killed by an enemy. Also, I think dumbledore is both bottom tear braveness and top tier.

[@ThePokemonPrinceYT]

I agree with the argument for James, but you do need to remember that, when he was bullying, he was just a teenager, he matured immensly and became a true Gryffindor

Maybe a miss with Molly , it's easy to be the bravest when you train to fight and defend like, say a Auror. Molly acted when the need arose. Her love (there it is again), her years of practicing her magic laid the foundation so that when she needed it was there. Think "wax on, wax off." Molly is the bravest. She is a Mother.

I'm going say it again: McGonagall is so awesome.

[@occheermommy]

So as far as wormtail goes I have my head cannon theory. I remember reading a while back on pottermore that Neville was nearly a hatstall because the hat wanted to put him in Griffyndor and he said he wasn’t brave enough put me in Hufflepuff. So glad the hat won on that one. Now with Peter I feel like it’s the reverse of that. He had met Lupin, Sirius and James on the train and knew they were cool. The hatstall was because the hat wanted to put him in slytherin but he begged for griffyndor because of them and the hat eventually gave in. It’s just how I see it.
