Remember that advert a few
years ago that asked you to
name a teacher who inspired
you? We reckon every Hogwarts
pupil ever would say Minerva
McGonagall. What a witch! Speaking of tragic deaths, was
there any more heartbreaking
than Dobby’s? Despite a life-
time of Malfoy propaganda, the
loveable house-elf was a true
friend to The Boy Who Lived.

Proof that sometimes nice girls
do finish first, not-so-loony
Luna was a vital cog in He-
Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s
demise. And what groovy style!

The best mentor/friend you
could hope for, unless the Moon
is full. In which case – RUN!

Even in his no-nosed pomp,
Lord Voldemort never scared
us half as much as his
demented devotee Bellatrix.
Played by Bonham Carter with
wild hair and even wilder eyes,
this unhinged Death Eater still
sends shivers down our spine.

We know her as Voldemort’s pet
snake, but in FB2, Nagini is
a human female Maledictus
(played fangtastically by Kim).

This tormented Obscurial has
almost unspeakable power –
but which side will he choose?
The story so far...
Played by: Gary Oldman
Mad as a hatter – or so we
thought – Harry’s beloved
godfather Sirius actually
proved to know exactly what
was what, turning his back
on his awful pureblood family
in favour of fighting the good
fight alongside his godson.
His death still hurts. Sob!
Against a backdrop of fear and
foreboding, Newt Scamander
arrives in 1926 New York with
a briefcase full of magical
creatures. Following a
chance encounter

The only no-maj/muggle on
this list, kindly Jacob proved
an invaluable ally to Newt in
the first Fantastic Beasts (even
if he can’t remember it!). Now
his services are needed again...
with no-maj Jacob, several
beasts escape. Newt succeeds
in tracking them down (just!),
in the process also locating
wanted dark wizard
Gellert Grindelwald.

Contentious we know, having
You-Know-Who so far down
this list, but since his defeat in
Deathly Hallows, the Dark
Lord’s fear factor has waned.
We can even say it: “Voldemort!”
