Badasses in the Harry Potter World

Number 1: Hermione Granger

2011-06-27T08:15:00.000-07:00

A girl who knows every spell in the book and is essential in the finding and destroying horcruxes is definitely badass. She is the brains behind every Harry Potter move and adventure. Hermione does not lack valor. Even when tortured by Bellatrix in the final book. That’s why she tops our list of Harry Potter Badasses.

Number 2: Severus Snape

2011-06-27T08:14:00.000-07:00

It takes a real badass to turn from the Dark Lord and even more to become a spy. One of the most feared and characters in the whole Harry Potter saga turned out to be one of the most noble. From his protecting of Harry during Quidditch to his last breath at the shrieking shack, Snape proved to be worth the title of Badass.

Number 3: Albus Dumbledore

2011-06-27T08:11:00.000-07:00

The only wizard to be feared by Voldemort, and with good reason; Albus Dumbledore may have been the only wizard more powerful than the Dark Lord. One of the few characters not to be afraid of anything, including death or mentioning Voldemort’s name. He is one Badass wizard.

Number 4:Mad Eye Moody

2011-06-27T08:07:00.000-07:00

Missing several body parts never stopped Alastor Moody from catching dark wizards and sending them to Azkaban. He was not only good, he was the best. One of the fearless leaders of the Order of the Phoenix, he who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the fight to get Harry to safety.

Number 5: Minerva McGonagall

2011-06-27T08:03:00.000-07:00

The one professor to stand up to Snape when everyone thought he was working for the Dark Lord, and one of the few to fight Voldemort and live to tell the story. Minerva’s top priority was the protection of the students, be it from Dolores Umbridge or from Death Eaters.

Number 6: Dobby

2011-06-27T08:00:00.000-07:00

The little house elf that could. Dobby is a stand up kind of elf. Going against his master’s orders is not something a house elf would do, but his courage and will to save Harry make him a special kind of badass. The house elf dies a badass fighting to save his friends. Standing up one last time to his former Masters and Bellatrix.

Number 7: Remus Lupin

2011-06-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

The next badass deserves to be in the top ten not because of his fights against dark wizards (which he had plenty of), but because of the fight against himself. Instead of going the way of the werewolf like Greyback, he managed to remain on the side of good. Lupin protected Harry from everything from Death Eaters to Dementors, and give his life in the final battle.

Number 8: Fred and George Weasley

2011-06-27T07:57:00.000-07:00

Rules? What rules? Fred and George make the best of the worst situations. Dolores Umbridge found that out the hard way as the red twins made their memorable exit from her twisted version of Hogwarts. Both of them proved their Badassness in the Deathly Hallows George losing his ear, and Fred losing much more than that.

Number 9: Neville Longbottom

2011-06-27T07:54:00.000-07:00

The fumbling kid grew up to be a serious badass. Neville led the students in their rebellion against Snape and the Carrows, and when everyone thought everything was lost, he is the one that stood up to Lord Voldemort, and destroying the last horcrux so the battle could be won.

Number 10: Kingsley Shacklebolt

2011-06-27T07:52:00.000-07:00

It takes a real badass to be in charge of protecting the muggle prime minister. That was Kingsley’s job, and in the escape from Privet Drive he showed valor and courage in the face of danger.

Number 11: Regulus Black

2011-06-27T07:48:00.000-07:00

Number 12: Lily Potter

2011-06-27T07:46:00.000-07:00
