Who is the real villain of the Harry Potter series?
The easy answer to who the villain of the Harry Potter series is Voldemort but there are other villains throughout the franchise that give him a run for his money.
Voldemort is the easy choice when we’re talking about the villains of the Harry Potter series. He’s the main villain and the one we know as the monster of the series but he’s also not alone. Voldemort is the kind of character that we can look at and without a doubt know that he isn’t someone we’re rooting for.
But there are also plenty of characters in the series who seem like they could be on Harry’s side and end up being just as bad as Voldemort himself. There are characters who would be “villains” in the real world when you stop and boil down their actions.
So much of the series is seen in black and white. We see the heroes we know and we understand their importance and then we see the “villains” and see them for the evil they are. But it’s the characters who operate in that gray area that truly bring the fear to the series that makes many of us question what we’re going or who we’re rooting for.
Some characters can start off as nice and simple enough and turn into the monsters we see on the page or they can be evil from the jump. The point is, the series is filled with villains that are much more dangerous than just Voldemort. He managed to rally the people but those he got on his side are just as frightening.
