Villains and Bad Guys

Best Characters

The best female villains include women whose roles are truly iconic and evil. Some of the greatest movie and television villains ever made this list. Whether it&#39;s a mentally unstable character who stalks her unsuspecting victim or a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-unexpected-female-movie-villains/orrin-grey" target="_blank">conniving, totally immoral villain</a> who frames innocent people, this list includes all the big female villain names. It is, however, not complete, so please, feel free to add your favorite female TV and movie villains as well. Vote for the characters you think are the worst villains ever to grace the big or small screen.

What makes a great villain? A character that is morally bankrupt, complex, and tortured - and, more often than not, <a href="/list/most-stylish-villains-2010s/erin-cody" target="_blank">extremely well dressed</a>. The female villains listed here certainly fit the mold. Some are evil to their very core, allowing heroes to emerge and shine as they (hopefully) triumph against them. A villain is nefarious, vile and generally bad. Many are guilty of criminal behavior, to say the least. Some make us love to hate them (that&#39;s a sure sign of a fantastic female villain). We cheer if and when they meet their untimely ends, because they deserved it!

In film, some of the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">best movie villains of all time</a> are women. Need proof? How about bunny-boiler Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) in Fatal Attraction&nbsp;or mentally deranged &quot;fan&quot; Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) in Misery? Sharon Stone&#39;s portrayal of femme fatale Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct&nbsp;earns her a best female villain place on the list, as well as a top spot among the sexiest characters in thrillers.

Some actresses&#39; best roles in movies or on TV shows came when they played villains. Rachel McAdams was unforgettably villainous as Regina George, aka Queen Bee, in Mean Girls.&nbsp;Helena Bonham Carter&#39;s played some interesting roles over the years, but none more wicked that Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter&nbsp;movies.

From the psycho exes to the stalkers and the femme fatales, enjoy this list of the best female villains in movies and television, and feel free to rerank it your way, too.

It seems <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-popular-movie-villain-year-you-were-born/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">every year</a>, new iconic villains are coming out of the woodwork. While some of us tend to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-who-wore-out-their-welcome/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">despise movie villains</a>, plenty of movie-goers&nbsp;favor some of these antagonists. Whether that&#39;s due to a cool accent, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/over-the-top-comic-book-movie-performances/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">an over-the-top performance</a>, or an intimidating disposition, some villains just stand out - and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-got-big-after-playing-bad-guys/orrin-grey" target="_blank">redefine the actors playing them</a>.&nbsp;For instance, who doesn&#39;t have some type of fondness for Hannibal Lecter? How about the evil Darth Vader for that matter?&nbsp;Who are the greatest villains of all time? These movie bad guys are the scourge of the movie universe - and that&#39;s to say nothing of their <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/which-henchman-would-win-in-a-battle/matthew-ludwinski" target="_blank">loyal, powerful henchmen</a> - and you can now vote on the meanest villain ever to appear on film.

The Universe of Harry Potter

The top Harry Potter characters come from a rich universe crafted on the page and adapted to the screen, giving us some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-film-adaptations-of-young-adult-novels/randolph">best movie adaptations from books</a> of all time. Since the Harry Potter universe is one where there are 75 (75!) main characters in the Harry Potter movies and books, there&#39;s little surprise that they are some of the most beloved (and hated) characters of all time.

That said, the question in front of us is &quot;who are the best Harry Potter characters?&quot; and it is a tough one to answer. Do you go for the obvious and choose Harry the hero, or pay respect to Voldemort, one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time">best movie villains of all time</a>? Do you go for brains with Hermione or charm with George &amp; Fred? These are the questions we&#39;re confronted with when attempting to name the greatest Harry Potter characters ever.

Since both the Harry Potter books and movies can be taken into account, it&#39;s up to you to decide if you want to vote for the popular Harry Potter characters as you imagined them or as they were portrayed on screen. Since the books are among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-selling-book-series-of-all-time/jeff419">best selling series of all time</a>, there&#39;s a good chance you&#39;ve read them and can compare notes with the movies. Your choice is yours, though; nobody&#39;s breaking out the Imperius curse so cast your vote for your favorite characters and make vote down the ones you don&#39;t like. And if there&#39;s a supporting Harry Potter character you feel belongs on the list, make sure to add them to this list of the top <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/luckiest-harry-potter-characters/renata-carmen" target="_blank">Harry Potter characters.</a> Of course, if you&#39;re forgetting some of the names or need pictures to jog your memory, you can use the list as a reference.

Most Annoying

You know them. You hate them. Honestly, who knows&nbsp;why these characters even exist. Did someone think they were funny? Maybe adorable? Seriously? Like fingernails on a chalkboard, these annoying characters take teeth-gritting perseverance and expert channel-switching to avoid. Usually an attempt at comic relief, these are the characters you can&#39;t even love to hate. You just hate them. There are even some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whiniest-heroes-movies/ashley-reign" target="_blank">movie heroes whose incessant whininess</a> is enough to drive us all crazy.

Who is the most annoying movie or TV character of all time? We may never know. But this list will help us get a step closer (and let you know which movies and shows to avoid). Do annoying movie characters like Jar Jar Binks make Star Wars not worth watching? Maybe not. But we definitely won&#39;t be seeing any spinoff sequels starring the annoying little guy.

Is Barney the most annoying TV character ever? Or do you hate Screech more? No one can blame you for finding these characters obnoxious and terrible, but to crown the worst offender, you&#39;ve got to make your voice heard.

After sorting out how you feel about which Hogwarts house you&#39;re in&nbsp;and waving hello to whatever wand chooses you, congratulations: you&#39;re ready for more advanced magic. Now it&#39;s time to find out what your Patronus will be when you belt out &quot;Expecto Patronum.&quot;&nbsp;All the Patronuses in Harry Potter, which&nbsp;repel&nbsp;Dementors or serve as messengers,&nbsp;are probably familiar to you.&nbsp;Harry&#39;s is a stag; Hermione&#39;s is an otter; Snape&#39;s is a doe; Professor McGonagall&#39;s&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dolores Umbridge&#39;s are cats. You might be less familiar with the Weasley twins&#39; Patronuses:&nbsp;magpies (a tidbit author J.K. Rowling <a href="https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1059936459124367362?lang=en" target="_blank">revealed in a tweet</a>&nbsp;in 2018 after the books were published).&nbsp;&nbsp;

You can take a quiz on the <a href="https://www.pottermore.com/features/what-is-a-patronus" target="_blank">Pottermore</a> website to find out which Patronus is yours - you&#39;ll wind up with one of more than 100 animals not included in the books or films, from an aardvark to a vulture. But just like you might want&nbsp;a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/every-harry-potter-wand/tamar-altebarmakian" target="_blank">wand</a> connected to a Harry Potter character,&nbsp;you might also wish you could conjure a Patronus connected to one of the characters in the series.

Be careful, however, about wishing you could choose a Patronus based on your favorite animal. As&nbsp;Rowling writes on Pottermore, <a href="https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/patronus-charm" target="_blank">Professor Catullus Spangle</a>, 18th-century expert on&nbsp;Charms, was wary of those whose Patronuses were favored creatures: &quot;It is my firm belief that such a Patronus is an indicator of obsession or eccentricity. Here is a wizard who may not be able to hide their essential self in common life, who may, indeed, parade tendencies that others might prefer to conceal.&quot;

Spangle&#39;s warning aside, vote up the Patronuses you most wish you could conjure.

There are all kinds of different evil in the world, but some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">worst villains from movies</a> aren&#39;t actually cold-blooded killers. Some of them just live to watch people (or puppies!) squirm and retreat into misery, such as coaches trying to cripple children or nurses hellbent on breaking their patients&#39; spirits instead of healing them.&nbsp;

A lot of the villains on this list <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-who-were-right/loganrapp" target="_blank">never even inflicted physical pain</a> on another person - they just want power and aren&#39;t afraid to go out of their way to get it. Some of them are even a little sympathetic -&nbsp;a little therapy would have changed their lives, and film history, forever.

Dungeons &amp; Dragons&#39;&nbsp;alignment system is a useful system for analyzing characters, classing them as combinations of chaotic, lawful, neutral, evil, and good&nbsp;. It&#39;s not perfect, especially when it comes to well-written, multi-faceted characters like those who appear in J.K. Rowling&#39;s&nbsp;Harry Potter,&nbsp;but it still provides some insight - and anyway, it&#39;s fun.&nbsp;

So, where do the characters from Harry Potter&nbsp;fit in? Protagonist Harry Potter is neutral good - his primary goal, above all else, is to do the right thing, whether that involves causing chaos or breaking the rules. Meanwhile, his nemesis Voldemort is the exact opposite - he&#39;s neutral evil.&nbsp;

Who is the cleverest and most cunning Slytherin from the Harry Potter franchise? There may be differences between the Harry Potter book series and the films, but what the Sorting Hat looks for when sorting a student into Slytherin doesn&#39;t change. Known to be ambitious, resourceful and determined, Slytherins are also fiercely protective - quick to strike at anything they deem a threat, just like the serpent on their green and silver coat of arms.

Which of these Hogwarts students did the Sorting Hat best deserve the honor of entrance to the Slytherin Dungeon? The once stuck-up Draco Malfoy is near the top of the list. His sense of fraternity to his house is an exemplary Slytherin trait, and one doesn&#39;t have to negative, as the teamsmanship of the Slytherin Quidditch players shows.&nbsp; Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy also are strong examples of the Slytherin traits of cunning and ambition.

The memorable performances that brought the books&#39; characters to life populated the Slytherin House with some of the most interesting people in the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-to-worst-harry-potter-films-as-rated-by-fans-?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Harry Potter films</a>.

Every time a person first opened a newly released Harry Potter book, you can guarantee one of the burning questions in their mind was &quot;Who will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year?&quot; While it may be the teaching position in Hogwarts with the least job security, it sure was the most interesting. All the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, the best and the worst alike, had a supreme effect on Harry, Ron, and Hermione. These teachers set the tone for their year and the story being told, often finding themselves at the center of the wizarding world's drama. Spies, werewolves, frauds, and bureaucrats occupied the position. Each bringing their own unique lessons and challenges for their students. But which ones were the best? Which ones truly prepared the students for Hogwarts for the challenges they'd face outside the castle?

Teachers are unsung heroes. In real life, teachers can guide, inspire and prepare children for the world. And&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comedy-movies-about-teachers/ranker-film" target="_blank">in movies</a>, on-screen&nbsp;teachers can inspire audiences. Who doesn&rsquo;t love Miss Honey in Matilda? Or Hilary Swank in Freedom Writers?&nbsp;Or&nbsp;Michelle Pfeiffer&rsquo;s Louanne Johnson in Dangerous Minds, who proves&nbsp;her intensity by staring&nbsp;down Coolio in the &ldquo;Gangsta&rsquo;s Paradise&rdquo; music video?

But not every teacher is making their Mr. Holland&rsquo;s Opus. Some teachers are problematic, lazy, and grossly unprofessional. Even some of&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-fictional-teachers" target="_blank">best fictional teachers</a> can cross lines that would never fly in the real world.&nbsp;

What&#39;s more satisfying than fantasy movie villains who got what they deserved? Whenever a character spends the majority of a film&#39;s runtime ruining the lives of others, it&#39;s nice to see the tables finally turned. Fantasy villains tend to be especially egregious in the abuse they dole out to those around them, as they are often gifted with some sort of magical ability or unique power that allows them to lord over the common man. This makes it all the more satisfying when those common people rise up against their oppressor.&nbsp;

A villain&#39;s demise is even more fitting if their own methods are somehow used against them. If they have&nbsp;a specific way of tormenting or defeating their enemies, then the third act better have the hero (or, by accident, the villain themselves) inflicting them with that same cruel fate they forced upon others.

When J.K. Rowling&rsquo;s wildly-popular and bestselling Harry Potter book series was adapted for the screen, fans finally got to see their favorite characters in the flesh. The Harry Potter universe practically had a meltdown as fans lined up for hours outside of theaters &ndash; just as they had outside book stores &ndash; to see the movies based on the books they had come to love. The Harry Potter movies made stars out of their <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cast-of-harry-potter-first-vs-last-movie/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">younger cast members </a>and introduced all kinds of notable British actors to a new generation. So what&#39;s the Harry Potter cast up to today?&nbsp;

The eight-picture Harry Potter run has seen the likes of BAFTA, Oscar, and Golden Globe winners, screen and stage legends, knights, and even a grand dame. You probably heard about Emma Watson&#39;s new duties as a UN Ambassador, but how about Luna Lovegood? What has she been in since Potter? And what about Neville Longbottom? Is he still a mousy looking, timid boy? (Hint: the answer is NO.)
