10 Worst Decisions Harry Potter Ever Made

10. His Reckless Obsession With Bellatrix Lestrange

Towards the end of Order of the Phoenix, in a fight between the Order and the Death Eaters, Bellatrix Lestrange murdered Sirius Black. Sirius was Harry's godfather and a large paternal figure in his life so his death sparked immense anger and hatred in Harry, which led to his obsession with Lestrange.

Immediately after Sirius' death, Harry chased after Bellatrix on his own, disarming her. However, this was simply a manipulation by Voldemort to force Harry to kill. In The Half-Blood Prince, Harry ran after Bellatrix on his own again, leaving him at the mercy of his foe and her accomplice, Fenrir Greyback.

Harry's blind hatred of Bellatrix put himself in dangerous situations, falling for obvious traps that left him at the mercy of more powerful wizards. If it was not for Dumbledore, Ginny Weasley, Tonks and Lupin, Harry would have either been captured or murdered.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
