The 20 Most Powerful Harry Potter Characters Ranked

[AB-bhrb]

Snape didnt just block voldy from reading his mind. He actually let him read his mind. But only the parts he wanted to show. I think thats even more impressive than blocking someone from reading your mind

[Hendricus]

To understand how powerful Dumbledore was, you just need to know 1 thing: He was the only person Voldemort was afraid of (until the prophecy but that has a different reason, aka "He was born to defeat you"

[Ella-bgve]

Another ability both mastered by the Dark Lord and Albus Dumbledore is the ability to produce wandless magic. Something that was very difficult to master and was primarily used in ancient magic. Again hammering home the idea of their power.

[Harrison_btw]

Obviously, Gilderoy Lockhart, order of Merlin third class, honorary member of the dark force defense league, and 5 times winner of witch weeklies most charming smile award, is number one

[quiteman]

We all know it's mr filch he just holding back

[Ollie.H-]

Dumbledore also defeated Grindelwald when the latter was Master of the Elder Wand.

[merlinsbeard]

[GrouchyKraut]

Aberforth held his own in a duel between himself, Albus, and Grindenwald. Severely underrated

[teakr]

I reckon Amelia Bones deserves a place on this list. She was able to put up a fight against Voldemort for some time, when he arrived to kill her personally.

[talalahmed]

Morgan is Dumbledore of Harry Potter lore.

[npcmcishark]

Finally someone recognices Shacklebolt for the badass he is

[lukebaxter]

Part of one's power is their intelligence, so for me, it's not surprising to see that Voldemort didn't reach number 1. Because despite being well versed in the Dark Arts, he didn't even bother exploring and learning about other things that could've helped him out. I mean, he didn't know about how powerful the ancient magic of love was, which was part of his downfall.

Whereas Dumbledore was so knowledgeable, even about love, that when Harry told him that Voldemort used his blood to get a new body, he immediately knew that they've won long before the endgame happened.

I just wanted to say you are my favorite YouTuber and always look forward to watching your Harry Potter or Hunger games videos

[ravenregards]

I think what really made Albus Dumbledore powerful was when he started to rely on his internal/innate strengths and abandoned his desire to control the world.

[timrobblee]

So glad Nicholas made the list. Dude brewed immortality.

[OregonBound]

This guy puts so much work in his projects. Keep up the good work:)

[vvthetalentlessduo]

Harry is higher than 20, that’s a fact, half of these people’s feats don’t come close to Harry and he managed to do them very young

[lizard]

Clearly Grindelwald is more powerful than Voldemort and Dumbledore is over both of them. I'm pretty sure Merlin is suppose to be above everyone.

[MasterOfTheElements]

What about Andros the Invincible? He was a wizard from Ancient Greece who was so powerful that he could create a patronus the size of a giant without using a wand.
