But without its best (and worst) women, it would be nothing.
Honestly, even the worst female characters are still the most fun to read.
As Bellatrix goes to attack Ginny, Molly counterattacks and shouts, Not my daughter, you b-tch!

as she obliterates Bellatrix.
Its one of the greatest moments in the entireHarry Potterseries, both book and film.
However, Molly is more than her great one-liner.
And she extended kindness to Harry with Christmas sweaters and family dinners.
Shes one of those people who prefers power over morality even though she masquerades as a good individual.
Together, they defeat Voldemort time after time, and Hermione never wavers in her loyalty to the cause.
But she never surprises or delights us the way some of our favorite characters do.
But Luna remains whimsical and intelligent.
Played by Evanna Lynch, movie Luna is just as we imagined her in the books.
She turns the dumb blonde trope on its head as a true Ravenclaw.
Shes one of the few people Harry can relate to, having also lost a parent.
Worst: Rita Skeeter
Rita is the prototypical sleazy journalist, which we have to condemn.
But beyond that, she doesnt even do her own work!
She used magic to transform her quill into the equivalent of an AI-virality machine.
Shes truly enchanting and every boy at Hogwarts is obsessed with her, especially Ron.
She does break beyond her attractive exterior and prove that shes dedicated to defeating Voldemort.
Plus, marrying Bill Weasley is a pretty cool move.
But we dont know much about Fleur from her Beauxbatons life other than that shes the prettiest witch there.
All of this together makes her just okay.
McGonagall encourages Harry to chase his dream of being an Auror, giving him a purpose beyond Voldemorts bait.
We know that shes going to kill and torture, and that shes going to enjoy it.
But Aunt Petunia has the capacity to be good.
She couldve been Harrys maternal figureshe raised him after his parents were killed by Voldemort.
Instead, she complied with Uncle Vernons punishment of Harry.
Its honestly a wonder that Harry ended up as kind as he did!
Just Okay: Bellatrix Lestrange
Here she is!
Bellatrix is just okay.
She kills Sirius Black, tortures Hermione, and does other unspeakable things.
Just because shes evil.
