Every Harry Potter Villain Ranked From Worst To Best

6. Gilderoy Lockhart

Bellatrix Harry Potter
Warner Bros. Pictures

Definitely one of the most underrated Villains in the Potterverse.

A wizard who's mostly useless at magic, who wipes other wizard's memories and takes their accomplishments as his own. This is a genius idea. His many failings as a Hogwarts teacher are hilarious to watch, with the funniest being when he accidently removes all the bones in Harry's arm.

Then he reveals his true self, and in doing so, reveals just how far he will go to keep his fame - wiping two children's memories, and leaving them for dead. That's pure evil.

It's a crying shame he's not in the later films, as there was great potential for his character to develop.
