Harry Potter: Ranking Every Death Eater From Worst To Best

Bellatrix Lestrange was one of the toughest, cruelest, and most powerful of all of Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters. After loyally following the Dark Lord during the first Wizarding War, Bellatrix survived her time in Azkaban, even managing to escape to help in the second.

She was one of the Death Eaters that used the Cruciatus Curse to drive Frank and Alice Longbottom to insanity, carved the word 'mudblood' into Hermione Granger's arm, killed Dobbie, and forced Snape to make the unbreakable vow with her sister, guaranteeing the death of Albus Dumbledore.

Possibly the witch's biggest contribution to the effort happened during the battle of the Department of Mysteries, when she killed Sirius Black. Not only was Padfoot one of the strongest members of the Order of the Phoenix, he was Harry's role model and father figure. Aside from killing the boy who lived himself, she couldn't have done anything to hurt Harry more than this.

Though she eventually fell to Molly Weasley in the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix was loyal to the Dark Lord, and never once faltered. She truly is an embodiment of evil.
