10 Worst Things Harry Potter Has Ever Done

3. When He Blew Up Aunt Marge

If you think that Aunt Marge was an innocent victim of the sadistic violence of an out of control magical lunatic, you're probably overcompensating somewhat. Well, either that or your surname is Dursley. She was a bad egg, to say the least and her disdain for Harry is pretty unforgivable.

Does that mean she deserved to be put through the trauma of being inflated like a grotesque balloon and sent off into the atmosphere? Absolutely not. The punishment, which would have come with some serious short-term medical side-effects at the very least, simply does not suit the crime.

Yes, it's funny, but it's the kind of behaviour that you'd expect of the Malfoys: cruel, sadistic and not befitting a hero who you'd want to see rise above.
