Harry Potter: 15 Most Powerful Wizards In The Wizarding World

8. Antonin Dolohov

He might be slightly clipped when he's the victim of a petrification charm in Deathly Hallows, but there's no getting around the fact that Antonin Dolohov is Voldemort's most infamous Death Eater, despite only being a supporting presence in the books, or why he deserves that consideration.

The dark wizard is one of the most powerful and dangerous wizards in existence, having chosen to focus his prodigious skill for magic on harming his enemies as much as possible. And quite frankly, most people are his enemies.

He is a multiple murderer, an awesomely skilled duelist who manages to best Alastor Moody in open combat and kill Remus Lupin before falling to duelling champion Filius Flitwick. And most impressively of all, his signature purple spell seems to be one of his own creation.
