10 Most Underrated Harry Potter Characters

The Order of the Phoenix was made up of many talented individuals, but few were as reliable or as magically gifted as Kingsley.

As with plenty of other characters, Kingsley barely featured in the movies. His total screen time amounted to little more than five minutes, and with so many other powerful witches and wizards he can be understandably passed over.

Following Voldemort’s return, Kingsley acted as a double agent, keeping a watch over Cornelius Fudge and the corrupt Ministry of Magic, as well as giving false information about the whereabouts of Sirius Black.

His skill as an Auror was exemplified during the conflict down in the Department of Mysteries, as well as during the Battle of Hogwarts, where he was one of the few to fight against Voldemort directly.

Kinglsey was also highly respected amongst his peers. In The Half-Blood Prince, he was assigned to protect the muggle Prime Minister, and at the end of The Deathly Hallows, he was even chosen as the next Minister for Magic, a role he maintained for over two decades before he was eventually succeeded by Hermione Granger.
