All 41 Harry Potter Duels Ranked/Explained 

R.I.P Robbie Coltrane. You were my favorite. He played a misunderstood half-giant and his love of magic creatures made me respect animals as a whole.

I personally think Voldemort and Dumbledore's duel is the best, but let's also not forget that Harry dueled Voldemort in the the fourth book with a BROKEN leg.

About duel 40, Snape vs Lockhart, you could have mentioned that this duel was also Harry's introduction to the Expelliarmus spell, which has serious ramifications for both the plot and the themes of Harry Potter as a whole. It also demonstrates the idea of Wizards squaring off against each other in a formal and honorable context, which is occasionally revisited later on.

r.i.p. Robbie Coltrane... he touched us in ways no one else could. when he died Hagrid died with him. there is no one who could ever replace him. there is no more Hagrid and all we have is the movies to see him now. he meant so much to everyone. he was kind, loving, sweet, and an indescribable man. every single actor who got to work with him fell in love from his personality all the way to the way he acts on screen. he is in heaven now and happier than ever. we love you.

RIP Hagrid💔💔 "You were the real wizard, Robbie" - Our hearts.

R.I.P. Robbie Coltrane, you will truly never be forgotten. You're a wizard, Hagrid!

Man! The way you scripted and edited the Book Four duel of Voldemort and Harry... I got goosebumps. Great video as always.

Please never stop doing harry potter videos, you are completely unmatched on this platform when it comes to harry potter

Did he missed Sirius vs Bellatrix? It was desribed as extremely fast and heated, was extremely personal and had an incredible impact on the story. Would've made my top 10

Rest in pease Robbie, you will be missed🕊️💔

I love the choices for the top 5. Your reasoning for the Little Hangleton graveyard duel has made me respect it more than before. Also, at the Slughorn vs Voldemort point, I actually gasped because I had never thought that before, and I loved it.

Amazing video Morgan, you never seem to disappoint. I feel I must also say Rest In Peace Hagrid, you will be missed.

I thought the duel that killed Ariana Dumbledore was a three-way duel, with Albus Dumbledore trying to stop the other two from fighting each other because he cared about both of them.

I can’t imagine how much effort is put into each video. You have our endless support and keep up the great work.😎🥳

Thought about this and haven’t seen it in the comments yet, but Harry’s dad dying to give Harrys mom more time sure be here, as it ultimately saved Harrys life

“You’re a wizard Harry” -Hagrid. Rip robbie Coltrane

I think that my favourite duel was Harry vs Voldemort in the graveyard. It was emotional that Harry saw his parents, Cedric Bertha Jorkins, Frank.

Harry vs Draco (book 4) 3:08 Snape vs Lockhart 3:40 Aberforth vs Rookwood 3:53 George, Lee vs Yaxley 4:18 Mcgonagall vs Alecto Carrow 4:36 Flitwick vs Dolohov 4:54 Bellatrix vs Snatches 5:23 Hermione, Ginny, Luna vs Bellatrix 5:48 Kingsley vs Bellatrix 6:12 Augusta Longbottom vs Dollish 6:25 Moody vs Rosier 6:56 Harry vs Draco (book 2) 7:15 Ron, Neville vs Greyback 7:40 Ron, Thonks vs Bellatrix, Rodolphus 7:54 Thonks vs Bellatrix (book 5)8:24 Harry, Ron, Hermione vs Draco, Crabbe, Goyle 8:47 Lupin, George vs Snape, Death Eaters 9:34 Emeric the Evil vs Egbert the Egregious 10:00 Harry Potter vs Snape 10:16 Harry vs Draco (book 6) 11:00 Harry, Ron, Hermione vs Dolohov, Thorfinn Rowle 11:31 Harry Potter vs Bellatrix 11:58 Moody vs Dolohov 11:24 Arthur, Percy vs Pious Thicknesse 13:16 Harry vs Voldemort (book 7 1.) 13:57 Mcgonagall, Sproud,Flitwick, Slughorn vs Snape 14:47 Harry, Dobby, Ron vs Greyback, Bellatrix, Malfoys 15:27 Lupin vs Dolohov 16:33 Thonks vs Bellatrix (book 7)17:02 James, Sirius vs Snape 17:31 Ministry of Magic vs Death Eaters 18:27 Fabion,Gideon Prewett vs Dolohov and other Death Eaters 19:08 Frank and Alice Longbottom vs Barty Crouch Jr., Bellatrix, Rodolphus, Rabastan Lestrange 19:33 McGonagall, Slughorn, Kingsley vs Voldemort 20:18 Albus, Aberforth vs Grindewald 21:10 22:04 Molly Weasley vs Bellatrix 23:00 Harry Potter vs Voldemort (book 7 2.) 23:42 Dumbledore vs Voldemort 24:36 Dumbledore vs Grindewald 25:25 Harry Potter vs Voldemort (book 4) 26:19

This may sound strange, but I would actually place the Lockhart-Snape duel higher, not for the quality of the fight, but because it’s actually where Harry learns his most recognizable spell from Snape, Expelliarmus

I am always INSANELY overjoyed when a new MovieFlame Harry Potter video comes out

Snape vs Lockhart had an other, much greater impact on the story: it introduced Expelliarmus, which became Harry's go-to-spell for dueling.

I feel like the Snape vs. Lockhart duel should have been a few places higher because it was what introduced Harry to Expelliarmus, his most famous spell.

does anyone else agree with me that the first time reading the 5th book and seeing the chapter name "The only one he ever feared" with the little icon of them dueling the most exciting thing you can get from any book?

I love how so many creaters are still making harry potter content. Shows how good of a series it is.

Awesome list! Harry and Voldemort’s fight in the graveyard will always be legendary!

love the feel of your videos. you really grasp the harry potter universe.

Absolutely love all your Harry Potter videos

Thanks for making this video, detailing these brilliant and overlooked duels.

Thank you for this video ...every detail is well done and explained and love how you mentions the ones in the books

11:30 just made my day with snape stating harry down whilst harshly smacking his cape

Supported since the beginning , it's great to see how far you've come.

Thank you movieflame, love all your videos

I have no idea how many cool tips l learned from you about Harry Potter! You are truly the best potter head❤

Loved going through all of these memories again

I love this kind of content! You are awesome.

as always great job morgan. it gave me more duels to learn about and different perspectives and respect for characters. I love your work and I can always count on your videos to put a smile on my face. also, R.I.P Robbie you were a great actor and everyone will miss the loveable missunderstood half-giant, the seris would have been the same without you.

I love watching these ranking videos bc they show detail on how they are going to affect the story and for the movies how far the animation has gone ❤❤❤. Rip Haggrid’s actor Robbie Coltrane 1950 - 2022😢😥😓😭

Could you please consider doing more hunger games videos? I've just started reading them and loved the other ones you've made!

This was a great video. I have got a video suggestion that you might want to consider. All of Voldermort's hocruxes ranked on their defences and how easy it was to destroy.

Great rundown. What if Hermiony had 'impero-ed' Dollahoff and the other deatheater in the Cafe (book 7) then commanded them to kill any deatheaters they met? This would ulimately lead to their deaths and leave Luppin alive. Also what if Andromeda joined the battle instead of Tonks, with Lupin's help surely a defeat for Bellatrix?

Video Idea: since you did sorting Percy Jackson characters into their Hogwarts houses, how about now maybe do a video of sorting Harry Potter/Fantastic Beast characters into their cabins (i.e. who their Godly parent would be if they were all halfbloods based on their personality or characteristics)

The duel between Snape and Lockhart actually teaches Harry to use his favourite spell

Thanks for entertaining us

Omg This video is so good so far I haven't watched you in so long you are amazing 😆

You killed this Morgan!

Love your videos morgan!

Good Video 👍🏻

Man. Your number one made me tear up a little. I had forgotten how good it was. Well made list

Your reasoning for those rankings was spot on!

This is amazing! Love your vids!!😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊

Love how at 5:54 the girls are going for the kill while Bellatrix is using the defense spell

Love the content! Well done!

In the movie (Deathly Hallows: Part II), during the battle that was between Snape and McGonagall, I noticed that Snape deflected McGonagall's spells on the Carrows before flying out the window.

Great work as always

You are a great creator with a dog so precious, it could make me cry.

9:20 You said the right things the wrong way Book: Crabbe Movie: Goyle

22:10 I’ve heard of this ilvermorny but I’ve never heard of this duel before! Your retelling of it was very interesting!

I love your vids keep uo the great work!!!!

Tbh the last one was also significant in that it actually stopped the killing curse without anything actually blocking, which is supposed to be impossible with Harry's scar being the only known exception up to that point

You’re missing a duel from the battle of Hogwarts. Percy and Fred vs Pius Thicknesse. They came out victorious, and it made Percy crack a joke for the first time in a while. Unfortunately, what followed was Fred’s tragic death at the hands of Augustus Rookwood, who blasted the wall behind them.

I feel that the one in the second book with harry vs Draco should be higher up, because it is when Harry realized that he could speak parseltongue, and when everyone thought that harry was the heir of Slytherin, which makes it very important

The video was good thanks for your chanel

Could you rank film duels (Including Fantastic Beasts) however, I love your videos, keep on with those amazing videos

The way you explained number 1 and 2 was very powerful!!!

This is something I wasn’t expecting, but I love it!❤

It's actully amazing when you think about it. He was just 14, had a broken leg, a slashed up arm, had been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, had just watched Cedric be murdered and the return of Voldemort himself and he faced Voldemort fully expecting to die.

I enjoyed this vid I agree with everyone thank you movieflame

Thanks for yet another great video! I'm looking forward to finally seeing the duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, once the Fantastic Beasts series come to and end. It's hard to rank it properly when we know so little about how it actually went down, but I believe it will be epic, considering the way it is still so highly praised so long after it happened.

I won’t be hear in 50 years sadly…. But Hagrid will.. Broke my heart..

R.I.P hargrid. You will always live on in our hearts. You will be missed. Legends never die. 💔💔💔

I feel like all of Harry’s and Draco’s fight should have been a bit higher since the hatred between these two bitter rivals was so strong up to point where they wanted to kill each other in book 📖 six and in the movie

I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you how much I love your content about harry potter

Movie flame always coming with the goods

Great video Morgan 😁😁😁

Love your Channel!

Great video as always! But I feel that you left out one duel from book 5, Sirius Black and Harry Potter vs Lucious Malloy and Bellatrix LeStrange. This was a very emotional duel as both Sirius and Harry saw the other as James and the history between these characters with Sirius and Bellatrix being cousins and Sirius running away from his family and Lucious and Harry with Lucius being behind the events in Harry’s second year and being Dobby’s former owner. And let’s not forget that Sirius loses his life to Bellatrix leaving Harry with losing another member of his family.

Thanks you are amazing

R.I.P Hagrid, you brought us all into the Wizarding World for the first time

Great list

I agree with your picks good choices and a good video.

You are clearly a genius! No doubt about it! You are a genius! I still think you should do a video putting the Hogwarts, Avatar, and Percy Jackson characters into their ILLVERMORNY houses!

Had to pause the video for this comment. There are already over 300 comments so sorry if this is a repeat from down the list. Your observance where the 4 houses are represented in the fight with Snape is epic. I love these types of revelations.

Awesome video Morgan. But did you forget the Sirius v Bellatrix duel? That’s top 10 for sure

This looks so fun

i still cant believe the actor who played hagrid is gone... rest in peace robbie coltrane

the other part of the James and snape duel is it demonstrates where the good guys ( james and serius and the crew) are actually bad boy jocks/cool kids in school bullies and the point that turned snape to the dark Lord. JK shows her advocation for and approval of the special bullies like, jocks or the cool club members, when in truth they are no better than the stated bad guys in the book series.

your ranking was so good

“..Spectacle is out, and emotion and situational stakes are in” *MovieFlame for President 2024*

Can you do What Ifs? Like what if Sirius was allowed to take Harry? I love your vids!

Can we appreciate how much effort was put in this

I love your vedios... U really do a great job....

Totally agree with number one because as I read the book for the first time I thought Someone would help him or he would grab the Portkey straight away to escape but no, he fort Voldemort and because he shared a core with Voldemort as you said all those cool things happened and it was was also at that moment after Cedric’s death I new Harry Potter was going to get dark.

RIP Hagrid

Watching this with my cat, and I've never seen her so calm. Guess she loves your soothing voice, lol.

Btw the duel of lockhart vs snape is how Harry found out about the dis-arming charm.

I always think that after Augusta defeats the auror I don’t know how to spell his last name she was screaming get off my lawn

Just a note, at 7:20 Harry met Draco for the first time in Hogwarts Express, well actually they met in Diagon Alley at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions! Just a nerd here though, Thanks for the awesome content!

R.I.P Robbie 💔 You will never be forgotten "You're a wizard, Robbie" You will always be in our hearts ❤️

Wow..amazing stuffs

Nice and organized. I like it! RIP Robbie Coltrane
