Ranking Harry Potter Characters [CC] 

"I could just make a whole video about Lupin" Please do.

“Lupin was the only father figure in Harry’s life that was actually good at it.” I love Lupin too, but I do want to give a shoutout to Arthur Weasley. Maybe Harry didn’t interact with him as much as the other father figures, but for his (somewhat) limited page time he was a wonderful mentor and just an all-around great guy.

Hedwig deserves the "Protect at all costs" tier 😢

*puts bellatrix in love to hate” “yeah she killed sirius, tortured hermione, drove neville’s parents to insanity- NOPE AVADA KEDARA”

I would change: McGonagall is Neville Tier Molly is Protect at all costs Tier Bellatrix is love to hate tier

I feel like Hagrid was kinda forgotten in the last couple of books which is sad because he is one of my all time favorite characters

“Dumbledore tried but he raised him as a pig for slaughter” I almost choked on my food 😂😂

Neville has a tier named after him, as he should

considering the fact that the top rank is just called neville, I'm gonna go out on a whim here and say Neville will be ranked no. 1

I’m sorry, but McGonagall should be in Neville tier!

I know it is your opinion but I would Avada Kedavra Umbridge

I wish we got more Luna. I loved how when Harry was feeling separate from everyone, he kind of naturally ran into her. She always believed and supported him, and he always respected her. Despite all his baggage, she could always treat him without pretention, because she had baggage too. They could both see thestrals, after all. I wouldn't mind a video just for her.

Hagrid to Neville tier is the only major change I’d make.

I love Peeves, find him hilarious! He adds character to the castle. “Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, what have you done, You’re killing off students, you think it’s good fun” and the Valentine’s Day scenes in THBF spring to mind, and his salute to Fred and George upon their dramatic exit from the castle, amongst others.

"Remus Lupin deserves all good things in life." Yes! Yes he does. He is an amazing character, my absolute favorite, he deserved so much more after book 3, and thank you for giving him the highest rank.

Please do this with Avatar the last Airbender.

My personal tier ranking: Luna Lovegood: Luna Lovegood Protect at all costs: Fred & George, Neville, Ginny, Dobby, Molly, Lupin Great: Hagrid, McGonnagall, Draco Malfoy Good: Kreacher, Lockhart, Peeves, Tonks Love to hate: Bellatrix Get out: Lavender Brown Avada Kedavra: Fudges, Wormtail, Rita Skeeter, Umbridge (she belongs in the "love to hate tier" but it is to satisfying to put her in this one)

"He did great things. *MILDLY INCONVENIENT*! Yesss....But great" - Merphy on Gilderoy Lockhart

I‘m so happy that the Harry Potter content didn’t stop after the reread. I adore Harry Potter so much, it’s just very nostalgic to me. My favourite characters from the series are (in that order): McGonagall, Ginny, Lupin, Kingsley and Fleur. They’re all so underrated and especially the last two don’t have enough „screentime“ in my opinion.

THIS RANKING IS GUILTY OF A TRIO OF MAJOR CRIMES: SIRIUS BLACK, SEVERUS SNAPE AND ALBUS DUMBLEDORE ARE MISSING!

Yes, please make a Remus Lupin video!!

“This video was very biased.” Wow, an opinion video is biased. Who would have thought?

I get so sad with all the hate I see for Ginny online. She's not my top character by any means, but people really drag her down.

Reason why Tonks should be protected at all costs: she loves Remus, he deserves it

Ginny doesn’t need to be protected at all costs because she can protect herself perfectly well thank you very much.

It breaks my heart that Molly’s biggest fear was one of her children dying and it happens...

Lupin had in my opinion, a perfect portrayal in the films. His story was one of the most exciting and tragic. He is one of the best characters like you said According to me the arc of Peter pettigrew is just not as interesting or amazing. Why no slughorn, he is not a main character but a pretty interesting one

I'd be curious to know where you'd put Percy Weasley, he's probably one of my favourite character (and i deeply believe that he should have been a slytherin) because he's so ambitious and he wants to drag himself out of the mud and he wants so succeed and this cause him to make a lot of mistakes, but i love him because of that :)

When you were listing all Harry’s father figures, I’m like...Arthur Weasley though, Arthur Weasley 😂

I haven't watched the video yet but Lupin better be S tier Edit: I knew you wouldn't disappoint me Merphy, good job :)

Bellatrix also killed Tonks as well

Remus and Molly better be on the highest tier. And Hagrid, my dear sweet underrated Hagrid. Update: I'm not even surprised that Neville is a tier of his own. Update 2: Nooooo Avada Kedavra Umbridge!

I am so glad Neville is getting so much love. And Kreacher is awesome.

1. Protect at all costs: Ginny, Luna 2. Great: Hagrid, McGonagall, Lupin, Tonks 3. Good: Kreacher, the twins, Neville, Dobby, Lavender, Molly 4. Love to Hate: Lockhart, Bellatrix, Malfoy 5. Get out: Peeves, Fudge, Skeeter 6. Avada Kedavra: Greyback, Pettigrew, Umbridge

Please make a video giving Remus lupin love

I am currently reading the books for the first time ever. I read Philosophers Stone and thought it was super choppy, but I loved all of the Weasleys. Fred and George are amazingly well written. I’ve started Chamber of Secrets, I’ve only just read the Burrow, but that entire chapter has solidified my love for all of the Weasley family.

When I hear or see the Phelps twins I think of this scene: 'How much for this?' '5 galleons' 'How much for me?' '5 galleons' 'But I'm your brother' '10 galleons'

I LOVE LUPIN. He's my favourite character from the entire series.

Merphy: I could make a whole video about Lupin Me: please make a whole video about Lupin

I can't wait for your video on Draco. He's my favourite character because I guess, as weird as it is I related to him for multiple reasons when I was younger-especially around the ages of 14-17. I don't want to get more into depth as to why and I'm definitely not saying he's just good or bad- he's all gray. So excited about the video on Saturday! Sending you lots of love!💕

I would rank them all the same except for Luna and Dobby. They're both in the Neville tier for me. Oh, and I would put Lupos in the protect at all costs. And I would definitely avada kedavra Umbrigde. Ew. And Love to hate is for Draco. Okay well, 5 different rankings. but yeah hahah

Just here to feed the algorithm. Nom Nom.

After my wife got me into the series, I had exactly the same reaction to Umbridge as your husband did when I got to book 5. I was ready to quit. Hated her. But I guess that was the point. Lupin is the man, most definitely.

I literally cheered when you put Lupin on Neville's tier. 💜 For the record, I would watch the heck out of a video about him!

10:53 please make a whole video on lupin. i must talk about my facorite insecure werewolf

I think Molly Weasley should at least be in the “Protect at all costs” tier.

You are my favorite booktuber! Your speaking style and personality is so welcoming. Thanks for a great video!

I think Tonks is an extremely deceived character, some people who just saw the movie barely know who she is and, even in the books, she doesn't have the prominence she deserves. She is an extremely strong, loving and such a amazing character, and fought hard for what she wanted and loved, and deserved much more. Also her story with Lupin is such a incredible love story and deserve to be so much explored and teller. THEY BOTH JUST DESERVE SO MUCH MORE

You killed me when you started listing all the stuff Bellatrix did 😂😂

I LOVE Dobby. He is actually my favourite character because although some people may find him annoying, he is so loyal and caring. Personally, I think he is an underrated character but obviously that’s just my opinion aha. I even have a dobby blanket which my grandma got me for Christmas.

You are so right with Lupin😭 he deserved so much better from life. He was such a good character and person, despite literally hating himself for being a werewolf most of his life. My heart 🥺

Nice rankings!

Dobby is one of the best characters in the series. He is so noble and completely loyal to Harry. Although he is clumsy, and often makes bad choices, his efforts always came from a place of love and he genuinely wants to do the right thing and protect those that are important to him. His presence in the story was incredibly important. He is probably my 2nd favorite character.

Not only did Fenrir Greyback bite Lupin, bite tons of other kids, attempted murder and supported Voldemort But he was also disturbingly seductive and attracted to Hermione

What about Moaning Myrtle?! I would really like a part 2 with the other secondary characters ^^

This is so fun! I can’t wait for saturday’s video!

First of all, this was fantastic. Second of all, I busted out laughing at the way you handled Bellatrix. First you were talking about how she was a great villain and going to move her into the love to hate and then you started listing why we love to hate her and you realized, nope! b**** gotta die! and I was completely in agreement lmao! That said, this was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to sharing it with several of my friends who are going to argue about this, which is half of the fun of Harry Potter... It has a lot of characters that are emotionally compelling and divisive... And others that are universally agreed upon, Hem hem anyone? 🤬👹🤣 Thanks for another entertaining video, have a great weekend!

Lupin is probably my favourite character ever so I would absolutely love for you to dedicate a video to him! He's as close to a role model any fictional character has been for me and someone that I think really reflects my own strengths and weaknesses as a person. We need more lupin content in the world!!

Okay, when is the Avatar ranking coming?

Remus Lupin deserves the world and the fact that his life was so tragic is something that I can never get over.

Luna is a wonderful character. Every time she shows up she commands the scene for me both in the books and on screen. I wanted to adopt her.

Merphy: a word from our sponsor, square space Me: ohh! This should be interesting!!

When you realize in hindsight that Harry Potter has some of the best and most colorfull characters ever. I needed videos like that to really realize it, since when reading the books I was too focused on the story.

I don't miss any of your HP videos (and love the others as well!). I really love your discussions and enjoy watching you. I'd love to see a whole video dedicated to Harry, it seems you don't mention him enough (to my very biased liking, as he is my favourite character 😜). I would've loved to know your ranking of him in this video, I felt it was missing. Thank you!

Make a Video about Lupin!

I read the books long after watching the movie and I NEVER hated Dobby, he is the best in the movies and the books

I recently just found you in my recommend and I’m so glad I did! I have never been able to find a book tuber with the same book taste as me, until I found you! I love binging your videos :)

thank you so much for this video it was amazing! I think it would be awesome if you could make a video about Remus Lupin in the future because he is a very good character and I do not see a lot of people talking about him.

I'd have put Bellatrix in "Love to Hate." I never liked Kreacher. I'd have protected Luna at all costs. I do wonder how disappointed Bonnie Wright was when she got the script for OotP and saw she didn't get to tell Harry off. That was my favorite Ginny moment.

Having a Neville top tier is amazing haha :D

Yessss! I smiled so much when I saw the title of this video

Yay!! New subscriber here, I just discovered your channel while in quarantine and have binged every single one of your HP videos over the last few days... I was so sad when I finished. And then you post this!! :D love it!!

Two things: 1) I just want to thank you for your willingness to dive deep into the world of books and share your opinions both at a surface level as well as the deep intricacies of either a character or the series themselves. Overall, You create a very welcoming environment for an audience for people to talk about books with 2) I agree with 90% of your list. I would have swapped Umbridge and Bellatrix to the others spot (my reasoning although Umbridge is the most relatable figure she shows no emotional boundaries to anything besides her own manifesto; while Bellatrix is devoted and kinda in love with Voldemort only wanting to please him); as well as, move Molly, Hargid, and Luna to Neville tier because they all pulled out so much of Harry that no other characters in the book (besides Dumbledore) could.

Merphy: I wouldn't have ended this tier list on Tonks if it wasn't random- Me: Aw yeah she's gonna put Tonks in the top tier where she belongs Merphy: because I feel nothing for Tonks :/ Me: :(

This is the only RU-vid channel where I enjoy the advertisment

I loved this list so much!!

I love Fred and George. They are AMAZING. No matter what happens , there optimism will always be there to lighten the spirit and of course we can’t forget their grand final bye to Hogwarts , I laugh sooo much every time I read it:)

Bellatrix is the top of the list for me. She’s so powerful and insane which is the character I’m naturally drawn to

I am really satisfied by this list. Good job!

"You know how you lay in bed at night, wishing you had a better website?" "No!" Best ad I've seen all year, top tier

You should make video about Lupin.

Neville has a category for himself 😍😍

I was so thrilled when you put Lupin in Neville’s category !! He’s truly one of the best characters of the entire series, and I would gladly listen to you rant about him in a video :)

i literally am in love with your videos!

Aight. Damn. I gotta do this for WoT characters

For me Rita Skeeter and Bellatrix wouls be my love to hate but I understand why they are in get out and avada kadavra. I live your tier videos. (XD i love the neville and avada kedavra rank🤣)

Please dont forget that we love your opinion videos!They are the best :)

I am BEGGING you please make a whole video on Lupin!!! I LOVE him and he means so much to me.

I feel like Harry didn't appreciate Remus as much as he should have. He spent an entire year getting to know the man. Remus offered him tea when Harry was alone. He spent weeks with him teaching him to perform a patronus. And from what we see, this isn't exactly a wonderful time for Remus, watching Harry feint listening to Lily and James die. And he was so proud of the patronus at the Quidditch match. And then, during the summer, Harry decides that the one person he can talk to about his scar hurting is Sirius, someone he had known for all of a month. When he finally sees Remus again with the Advanced Guard, he's very happy to see him. But then it seems like all that happiness gets overshadowed by Sirius. Remus was living in the house too, for the most part; did they not talk? Then, when Harry uses the floo to talk to Sirius, Remus is right there, being a wonderfully supportive parent who makes it his responsibility to have a parent-teacher conference with Snape about Occlumency. Remus holds Harry back from jumping in after Sirius. Remus is there at the beginning of summer to threaten the Dursleys, and tells Harry to keep in contact. During book 6, Harry is disappointed that Remus wasn't writing to him. Does that mean they had been writing during the summer, and even before? We, the reader, have no idea. Remus comes around for Christmas probably to spend it with Harry. He had also been there for Harry's 16th birthday, and comes for the 17th birthday. Because Molly realizes that they're family. And they Are family: found family. Remus and Tonks even make Harry godfather to Teddy, and we get their first and only hug (which I'm pretty sure Harry only ever got a side hug from Sirius, because these boys are all so damaged). And in the end, when Harry calls his loved one back from the dead, the only four people there are his parents, Sirius, and Remus. Because yes, Remus IS a loved one. But really, I don't know if it's just Harry not realizing how important Remus is, or if it's JK Rowling not realizing how important Remus Would Be to Harry. But it just feels like Harry always thinks of him almost as an afterthought. Like, oh yeah, he's here too. And that just hurts me. (And really, I don't care that Harry didn't name his kid after Remus, he already had little Teddy with the name Remus. And I'm pretty sure the little boy would have been feeling a bit replaced if Harry Did name his kid Remus.) Rant over.

You've made a mistake with McGonagall. She's Neville tier and you know it! I'm sorry but you're in my get out tier now =(. Seriously, great video, love your work. Keep it up.

The squarespace ad is so cute Lololol Also I love the tier ranking thing

I paused the video at 10:55 to say PLEASE make a whole video about Lupin. I just wanna listen to someone talk about him for 20 minutes and give him all the love and appreciation that he deserves

There should be tier named "Severus Snape", because, a lot of books has a similar "complex" and "wrong thought about" character..... It could be an interesting tier.....

Draco Malfoy : he cares about Harry if the default tone wasnt [ Hostile ] they couldve been friends Everytime they interact Malfoy says : Hey how are you feeling. Since the current event affects you so much . What are you gonna do now. Book 4 even makes fun of Rita Skeeter articles because theyre hilarious . trolls her with obviously false information He's going essentially through the same arc as harry where he has to come to terms with his father sucking and he hasnt got a single person for support ( the only one he can talk to is myrthle ) . You see what you expect to see his looks are those of his father but his character is much more akin to that of his mother Harry and Draco shouldve had a honest conversation at least once [[[[[I also wanted to have a little reluctant warming up between Snape and Harry in book 6 my favorite book despite atleast 2 missed chances to make it perfect for me]]]]]]

I would love to see a part two to this video with characters like Sirius, Moaning Myrtle, or Snape! I feel like there are a lot more characters that would be interesting to hear your input on. (Even though you already made a video about Snape). Side note: I’m currently binge watching your channel while eating popcorn.

Watching Lupin be placed in the Neville Tier has legitimately made my day

And where's Tom Riddle? I was interested to see if you have changed your opinion about him.

For some reason I just really don’t like Ginny with Harry. Its just weird sometimes.

I really enjoyed this!

Loved the video. But gotta say, your video ads are another level 😂
