Top Ten Most Annoying Harry Potter Characters

The Top Ten
Dolores Umbridge

I didn't find the people like Umbridge. She's annoying in fifth book and annoyed my too. I think, she is most annoying character in Harry potter series, even though she's just show in one book! I don't like Umbridge even Voldemort.

I've had a few teachers like Umbridge and I don't know if I could understand anyone who likes her as a character.
First off she's incredibly close-minded.
Second, she's very condescending.
Third, she's so fake. I don't like people who fake being nice or who they are. It feels incredibly unsettling.
Fourth, she's judgmental.
Fifth, she's racist.
Sixth, she's sadistic.
Seventh, she's self-centered.
Eighth, she has no sense of respect towards others.
Ninth, she's way too structured and rule-based.
Tenth, a variation of her first name "doloris" is Latin for pain. If that doesn't speak volumes about this woman, I don't know what does.
Eleventh, she wrongly persecuted muggle-borns.

I just cannot stand this woman.

Rita Skeeter

There's a reason she's a beetle. It's not just her animagus form, it's her personality: dung. She got what she deserved from Hermione, being trapped in a jar. She was a liar: she butts into people's business and spies on everyone. She publicly humiliates Hermione, Harry, Hagrid, and Dumbledore. She acts so innocent and friendly, but obviously makes Harry very uncomfortable, and just infuriates Hermione. She manipulated Bathilda Bagshot, too.

Agree. Agree again. She is an eavesdropping, terrible person who's name means mosquito, and she should jump off a cliff. She is a nonsense writer and stupid, and a critical person. Poopface. She insults people and writes bad, bad things such as Harry and Hermione are in love and Harry's crying. She should not use her stupid quill and write the truth. yes.

Draco Malfoy Draco Lucius Malfoy is a character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is a student in Harry Potter's year belonging in the Slytherin house.

Should we despise Draco? Yes. Do we? Nope, he got a redemption arc. I understand that most of his trauma is from his father, who is a much worse person, but he is not a good person. A good person, say, Luna Lovegood, would go against unjust beliefs, and would not be influenced into bullying others. Draco took his father's Pure-Blood Mania and spread it. He is so self-absorbed and that's not attractive. He bullies everyone, and cannot handle the truth. He nearly killed Katie! He is similar to young James Potter, who was a terrible person. But unlike James Potter, Draco got pitied, but he didn't turn himself around. That's a bit selfish, and he was so rude to everyone around him because he knew of his title and status. He was a coward too: he had to be rescued by his teachers, his family, and even his nemesis.

Cornelius Fudge

This guy is a selfish, two faced loser. he jumps to random conclusions about DUMBLEDORE, the greatest wizard who has ever lived and is worth a billion of Fudge! man, I loved when he found out voldemort WAS back and he got knocked of his seat as minister of magic. hah, that dude is just some paranoid, two faced bastard!

Cornelius is a selfish, self absorbed snob. I was stuck between him, Delores, Cho, or Dudley. They are all anoying.

Vile man. Started hating him at the end of the Goblet of Fire book

Dudley Dursley

He was a spoilt brat having 36 presents less than his 10th birthday when he had 38. Having two bedrooms when one should've been for Harry, then having a big tantrum when Harry got the bedroom, which was only for the Dursley's plan to try to stop the Hogwarts letters. Harry got the bedroom and he noticed a television which Dudley broke with his foot when his favourite show had been cancelled.
Dudley was also a bully, but his father egged him on.
In the fifth book when the Dementor attacked him, he didn't say much and didn't really say or do much in the sixth. In the seventh he gave Harry a cup of tea and thought Harry was coming with them. (For safety)

Percy Weasley

The Weasleys are such a warm loving family. And stupid Percy left them for the lying ministry. Not to mention the time he sent back the hand-knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasley. Oh yeah, and in prisoner of Azkaban when the fat lady was attacked he yelling " Out of the way I am HEAD BOY" It's just like shut up and go away Percy.

He used to be rude and annoying, but he realised his mistakes in the seventh book and came back to his family and apologised. I think he should be given a second chance.

I know a lot of people think Percy's all better now because he came back to fight in the battle, but think about all the annoying things he's done.

Cho Chang

Hold on, what is Cho doing on this list? She was portrayed as drippy and emotional and oversensitive, but remember, this is through the eyes of Harry, who has the observance of a boulder and the tact of a troll. He told her in the middle of a date that he was meeting up with another girl. I think anyone would have walked out. Also, she was MOURNING. Her boyfriend had died. There were rumors that HARRY had killed him, how do you think she felt to be walking through Hogsmeade with him? She deserved a lot better. I don't think she and Harry would have been good together and I hope she found love in the end.

Ginny Ginny Weasley is a prominent character in the "Harry Potter" series by J.K. Rowling. She is the youngest child and only daughter of the Weasley family. Initially introduced as a shy girl with a crush on Harry Potter, Ginny develops into a strong, independent young woman. Skilled in magic and Quidditch,... read more

How could anyone like Ginny? She is such a show off and deceives boys when she dates them, just to try and be able to blither out a sentence to him? She always jinxes and makes fun of people, and everyone else either laughs with her or compliments her. She's too obsessed with Harry, and she should be No. 1 on this list. She is so bloody ignorant that I want to kill her. If I listed all my reasons why Ginny was horrible I'd already be 1000 as I'm a quarter way in. I HaTE HER.

Ginny has always annoyed me. Even when I first read about her I hated her guts. Honestly she acts really bossy and stubborn. Harry should have ended up with Hermione(Even J.K Rowling said so after a while)
She was barley involved with Harry and the trio. Only until the 5th book she decided to be a hero. You can't just be a shy girl who doesn't even talk to Harry to a short tempered, bossy, stubborn, loud girl. Ginny should be number 1 on this list. And in the Order of the phoenix she used that crazy strong spell that was not needed on that death eater and the whole place fell apart. Gosh I hate her so much. I know looks don't matter and stuff but she has a weird shaped chin. You can say what you like about her but I HATE HER GUTS!

Moaning Myrtle

Annoying? What this is a 14 year old girl who was murdered, she was just telling a boy to go away she didn't know it was or that she was staring at a Basilisk.
Then she goes to haunt her enemy who bullied her in school, and then sent back to Hogwarts to live in the toilets that she was killed in.
Who wouldn't be upset about everything and she was probably in puberty or something.

Moaning Mrytle is so annoying when she screeches and moans about herself. But in Chamber of Secrets it's actually because of her that Harry could find the entrance to the Chamber and finish Tom Riddle A.K. A He-who-must-not-be-named. She looks so funny with those glasses and looks a bit like a long necked Turkey.

Professor Lockhart

I am slightly annoyed by him. This is the only thing Ravenclaw house has to really be ashamed about. With him using his memory charms to get ahead, he really should've been a Slytherin. Though as self-centered as he is, I'd rather have him as a teacher than Umbridge. That's really his only redeeming quality; he's more competent and less annoying than Umbridge.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. Although he was self-centered, he was awesome and his character was hilarious. He's the reason I love 'Chamber of Secrets' so much and if I was lucky enough to have a school offering Defense Against the Dark Arts, I would demand him as a teacher! Even if I didn't learn a thing

The Newcomers

? Remus Lupin
The Contenders
Dobby

Why does Dobby have to be on this list?! Who tried to warn Harry Potter not to go back to Hogwarts because dangerous things were happening? Dobby. Who died to save Harry, Ron, and Hermione from Bellatrix Lestrange? IT WAS DOBBY! If you are a Dobby hater, BACK OFF!

Dobby is one of my least favourite characters in HP, movie and book. He is annoying. He punishes himself constantly and refers to himself in third person. And not to mention, his voice. It's so weak. Yet still, he's strong and just wants to protect Harry Potter.

Vernon Dursley

He didn't abuse Harry. He treated Harry horribly. But it wasn't abuse. The no food was an exaggeration, Harry constantly got grounded and was obviously not favored( understatement ) Vernon never hit or hurt him.

He should be higher on this list.

Other people like Ginny Weasley she was behaving like a teenage girl in the sixth book.

Fleur was a snob till the end of the sixth book, and treated Ginny like she was a three year old. Like when she called Harry a little boy in the fourth book when she found out that he became the fourth Triwizard Champion.

Ginny was not a fan girl she is not Romilda Vane. She was overexcited to see Harry Potter in the first book. Second book she struggled to talk to him. Fourth book, she couldn't wait around forever so she became herself in the fifth.

You don't like a girl for being herself and behaving like a teenager.

But Vernon Dursley just abuses Harry. He was nearly going to throw Harry out of the house in the fifth book. In the second book when Harry said the word "magic" at breakfast Vernon yelled at him insanely and then locked him in his room starving him to death with bars on his window when he found out he couldn't use magic at home. Not forgetting the third book with Ron's phone call. (Funny bit shame not in the film, hopefully one day in the future they will make a T.V. series). His reaction to Harry when he mentioned about motorbikes flying in the first book. Not forgetting his sister the Muggle Umbridge even though Umbridge hates Muggles and is in Azkaban but Marge Dursley and Dolores Umbridge could have a dinner and get drunk together and Marge could teach her about television. Vernon Dursley doesn't punish Dudley for bullying he eggs him on while his wife is deluded into thinking Dudley is a baby angel.

Bellatrix Lestrange A psychotic death eater who escaped from Azkaban, and is fiercely loyal to Voldemort. Murderer of many people such as Sirius Black, and also a sadist who drove the Longbottoms mad.

Psychopath. I have a lot to say about her, so I'll just summarize it. She happily killed her own cousin, and committed a crime worse than murdering: she performed the Cruciatus Curse on the Longbottoms AFTER the First War was over. This was extremely cruel because they had just had a child, and they thought they were safe after fighting in the war, and because it was unexpected, that's what made it heartbreaking. She shrieks in a very evil manner and is awkward with the "Dark Lord".

I know I sound like a wimp, but sometimes Bellatrix makes me cry. What can make a person so loyal and so trustworthy for something so bad and terrible? What could Voldy have done to make her feel so proud of being one of his filthy slaves? I just don't get her, and I know that behind her loyalty and cruelty there is a tragic story that hopefully J.K Rowling will soon tell us.

Severus Snape Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is characterised as a person of great complexity, whose coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish.

Okay, he was maybe the worst character ever, Poor Albus Potter, having to carry around that name forever. He was a man who had a crush on his childhood crush, but then threw a hissy fit because Lily didn't like him back. So he calls her a racial slur and then, now that she hates him, instead of trying to earn her back with work and dedication, he joined a terrorist group trying to kill people like her. Years go by. She marries another man, previously a jerk but now a good and honest man. He catches wind of a plan to kill her and her family, and pulls some strings to try and save her. HER. Not the two people she loves most in the world, her husband and son. If he knew her at all, he would know that she could never forgive him for not saving them. But it doesn't matter, because it didn't work. She died. But then, instead of protecting her child as she OBVIOUSLY would have wanted him to, he had never gotten over being rejected and bullies Harry for years, only to in the end have Harry's son named after him and be hailed as a hero for no particular reason.

Lucius Malfoy

Lucius Malfoy, an evil nuisance. He was a Pure Blood Maniac, is creepy, and tried to kill Harry. He influences and manipulates others into getting what he wants because of his wealth and status. He bullies the. Weasleys, Potters, and Grangers, and is a cowardly Death Eater.

Blackmails millions of people into doing what he wants, including whole ministry departments and poor Arthur Weasley. he is rich, and therefore gets whatever he wants, AND is a death eater. His son Draco inherited these traits from him.

Marge Dursley

Just We're speaking about ANNOYING characters, aren't we? Marge Dursley is not the character that I despise and hate the most, she's not the person I'd like to strangle every time I see her (no, no, this place belongs to Dolores Umbride of course), but, apart from Zacharias Smith, Cornelius Fudge and Cormac McLaggen, who I believe are not on this list, Marge Dursley is the character that irritates me the most. She spends her time insulting Harry's parents, favouring Dudley, abusing Harry (I mean, she was entertained that her dog attacked Harry, she hurt him and claimed she'd like to harshly bit him if she was her teacher - what a mental! ) And we, readers, sigh because we have to read a lot of pages of NONSENSE. The only thing interesting about her is that Harry turned her into a big balloon.

Lavender Brown

I don't really get why everyone thinks she's annoying. At the time, Ron and Hermione where not dating, so it wasn't like Lavender was helping Ron cheat. Everyone's just annoyed because she got in the way of a couple you all really wanted to get together. I guess you could call her annoying because she constantly bothered Harry about Ron, but that was because he was straight out ignoring her, and she obviously felt really insucure about it. What's worse, is she was right about Hermione only talking to Ron once he got poisoned. Lavender didn't deserve the hate.

Peter Pettigrew

Lousy traitor, everything is your fault! Harry grew up without parents because of you. Sirius was stuck in azkaban for 12 years, blaming himself, because of you. Remus live alone for 12 years. Lily and James died because of you. I don't understand how anyone could feel any kind of sympathy for you, you never felt sorry, you only cared about your own neck.

He sold the Potters to Voldemort because he was such a coward. He came crawling back to his lord out of fear. He was a creep, and his animagus reflected it: a rat, always trying to be sneaky and to inch others to help him because he can't help or think for himself. He was always a follower, and ratted people out.

Ron Weasley Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. His first appearance was in the first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the best friend of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

Come on! Ron isn't that bad. Sure he made some pretty bad mistakes, but so has Snape and Dumbledore. He was jealous of Harry, which made Ron a little insecure. He totally deserved Hermione. Harry takes his anger out on his friends (but it was only because he was very emotional at the time). What kind of woman would want that? Ron was also very funny. The only problem was that sometimes he didn't know when to stop. Also, he helped Harry retrieve Gryffindor's Sword, played a giant game of chess to get the Philosopher's Stone (it was more dangerous than it sounds), believed Harry when everyone thought he was lying, was brave enough to try to help Harry defeat the basilisk, and he was overshadowed by his brothers the entire time! Ron was always there for Harry (well...almost always), and isn't annoying! I'd honestly love to have him as a friend!

Colin Creevey

Colin... Ugh... I felt my head aching when I read Chamber of Secrets. I pictured a skinny blonde guy with rabbit like teeth and a camera following Harry like his tail wherever he went. Harry probably like it when Colin told him that he was a fan, but he soon turned out to be an annoying brat. It's like wherever he went, he was haunted by " kill" " You will be killed" like when he was haunted by Basilica in Parsetongue, but instead it was " Can I have a photo with you? " Or "Can you sign my photo? " Or worse " Can you give me a gum you chewed? "

Professor Trelawney

I think she is so annoying, she doesn't explain anything and she makes a huge reaction to almost everything!

She reminds me a lot of my own stupid teacher. She talks and talks and it's all lies.

She's kinda annoying but I feel bad for her when stupid Umbridge was stalking her.

Pansy Parkinson

She is annoying and I hate her screaming/squealing/laughing she does. She sounds like a constipated monkey.

Oh my gosh like I sooo hate her! She's just jealous of Hermione. Duh...

Why is she after hermione on this list?

James Potter

Sure, he made mistakes as a kid but he CHANGED unlike Snape; he learned what he was doing was wrong. Snape, however, did not. James also became and ILLEGAL animagus just so his friend would hurt himself during full moon. He also DIED for his wife and Harry. I don't know about you but in the end he was selfless. Snape destroyed himself instead of getting better by going into the dark arts his OWN choosing. That's why Lily broke off with him. Snape just couldn't get over it and change; doesn't mean that's James' fault.

Hermione Granger

She and the rest of the Golden Trio always stick their nose into someone else's business. Was it really necessary to make Polyjuice Potion and stalk Draco for an hour just so they see if he's the heir of Slytherin? She's way too ignorant, like when she decides to found S.P.E.W. even though the house elves don't all want to be freed. Yet she still assumes she knows what's best for them. Just because being a know-it-all is part of her character, it doesn't make it any less annoying. She always goes to authority, like in third year. When Harry received a Firebolt, Hermione goes immediately to McGonagall. It was none of her business. Or Dumbledore said this, Dumbledore said that... You don't need to agree with everything authority says.

Amos Diggory

I mean, he is kind of annoying in the beginning, but in the end of the G.O.F. it's hard to not feel bad for him when he comes running out yelling: "My boy!" I can make an inference that Cedric's mum died before we bet him in the Prisoner of Azkaban, so Cedric would probably be the only one Amos had left. I believe that his story just might be one of the saddest.

Pompous ass was always talking down to Harry. He had no self-awareness and only bragged about Cedric. I was actually pretty upset about Cedric's death but at the same time I thought 'hey at least Amos can stfu now'
