Every Harry Potter Villain Ranked From Worst To Best

12. Yaxley

Bellatrix Harry Potter
Warner Bros. Pictures

Whilst the title of most forgettable death eater is up for debate, the title for the most underrated one isn't.

Yaxley is intimidating, cunning, and played with joyful menace by Peter Mullan. He holds his wand with power and confidence; he was extremely intense to watch. The easy highlight is the masterful chase scene in the Ministry of Magic. He doesn't start running to catch Harry until the last possible second; only doing a menacing fast walk. That's some serious swagger.

It's outrageous that he's barely in the last film. A duel involving him would've been great to see.
