Which character in the entire series do you despise most? Why?

James Potter, not because I'm a Lily & Snape fan. Just because he's a freakin jerk, I've never really liked James. Why Lily married him I'll never now. The only nice one out of their gang was Lupin, he never really did anything. So yeah, I can't stand James Potter.

I'd have to say either Ginny, or...Ginny. I think I actually like every character, or can at least understand them besides her. She's just...really annoying. She doesn't fit with Harry, she's a Mary-Sue, her transition between 'Harry Potter fangirl' to 'Strong young woman' was just unrealistic, and annoying...I just don't like her. >.<.

I also really disliked Bonnie Wright as her. For starters her hair is more brown than red..She's not a good actress, and her lack of chemistry with Daniel made Harry/Ginny even worse, and she just didn't seem like Ginny to me.

Also, I really dislike the movie portrayal of Hermione, though I loved her in the books. She was just a blatant Mary-Sue most of the time. She got a lot of people's lines, and they made her personality and appearance way more appealing than it honestly was...and it just rubbed me the wrong way :\

Ginny Weasley.

Well, I actually used to like her. In the first four books, I thought she was a perfectly fine character; she was sweet, kind, shy, awkward, fan-girlish, caring, and a very well-written character. She had flaws, but she was loveable all the same (and the flaws all helped make her a decent character, and really added to her personality).

In the fifth book, she started to annoy me more, but I had respect for her. I didn't like her drastic personality change. She became more rude and more obnoxious. However, she was growing her independence. She was moving on past Harry, past her fan-girl crush. I didn't love her, but I didn't mind her either at this point.

But then, the sixth book came along and ruined her completely. She became a Mary Sue; she was a superb Quidditch player, she got great grades, she was super amazing at casting spells (especially her bat-bogey hexes), she was super gorgeous, super popular, and everybody loved her, no matter how rude she was to them. Ginny became a girl who made fun of everybody, including her friends, behind their backs, who hexed people simply because they were annoying, who was always rude and in-your-face. Her making fun of people was passed off as a "hilarious sense of humor", her hexing people passed off as "strength of character", her rudeness passed off as "independence". She had no real flaws (or, at least, no intentional ones) and she was loved by everyone and perfect at everything.

I dislike Ginny in a bad way.
What I mean is, you can dislike a character in a good way and in a bad way. For example, I dislike Bellatrix in a good way; she killed Sirius, she's an evil and crazy sadist, but she is a great character. I dislike her for all the reasons I'm supposed to dislike her. But with Ginny, I'm supposed to love her. I'm supposed to think she's absolutely amazing and perfect. But she's not. She's far from it. I dislike her in a bad way; she's a poorly written character. I think she's really the only truly poorly written character in the series, and she's the one character that I really can't stand.

Umbridge

in the words of my father "I want that bitch to die. Why isn't she dead yet? She's so horrible!"

Percy too. He was a dumbass

Bellatrix,she killed Seress and I think Fred

Draco like hello I have a neighbour her thst wants to be his sister and she loves Draco and not in a good way because she hates every other house besides Slytherin! TT >_<

I like Bellatrix. There is no particular character who i hate in Harry Potter.

Hm. That's a tough one. Most of the characters that I truly despise are the ones we're supposed to dislike (Umbridge, Wormtail), but that's really no fun. But, they're the only ones who I really despise...

So, I'll guess you'll have to take "a character you dislike." Which would probably be Percy.

I hate:
Augustus Rookwood - He killed my fred in the film
You-Know-Who - How come no one else has said him
Wormtail - A traitor
Umbridge - She's well... AWFUL
Quirrel - Do I have to say anymore?
Percy - He's a slimy git until he comes back to fight in the battle and
ALL of the Minister's for Magic - Cause I just Do... There's no reason

Molly Weasley; she almost put a stop to wizzard wheezes. She nags too much. She overprotective of Harry and he's not even her son. Mainly because she called Bellatrix a bitch and then killed her!

Molly is the bitch not Bellatrix.

Percy - since he practically disowned his family and overall seemed really stuck up lol

Peter Pettigrew

Probably Harry, to b honest. He is so fickle and never stops to think abt anything.

the only charaters are the ones your apparently supposed to like. i hste hermione, harry, and ron. and i love bellatrix and the rest of the death eaters. lunas ok though

Voldemort ill and snape

I have much props for villains but Dolores Umbridge should of died.

harry. its my opinion but jk did a bad job on him.

mouth foy becuse he its so mean in all the movies and talks about things he dosent even know about,

I would say James, Lavender and some other ones, but most above me got those down pretty well for me. For some reason the movie version of Dean Thomas really annoyed me and I don't know why, he just did. I actually didn't really dislike any characters when I was reading the books. The only one I started despising while reading the books was James.

Dislike a character because of the character type?
Umbridge! I have always had a personal dislike of people that insist they are doing something 'for your own good' or ones that go along with the 'good of the many outweigh the good of the one or the few' types. She hitsevery single button that gives me personal shivers down my spine. But then she was written that way wasn't she? Well done actress then! LOL

No, portrayal wise, I have to agree with the Ginny verdict posted by others....

RON! He's soo annoying! he's gross, rude, selfish, unconsiderite, and stupid. I'll never know what hermione see's in him and I don't get why harry's his friend. Am I the ony one that see's that?
