In this episode, we discuss the scariest characters in Harry Potter. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:34 Tom Riddle. He is such a terrifying character because we know what his future is. He causes mass panic and killing, and it all starts at an unassuming orphanage. With every glint of red in his eye and every sly trick he plays, we are only reminded that his past present and future (get it?) is Voldemort.

· 7:58 Bellatrix Lestrange. She is literally insane, and that is why she is so terrifying. She is a big part of Voldemort’s plans, and it is early on established that she is willing to go very far to serve Voldemort. Her torture of the Longbottoms only supports this.

· 12:11 Xenophilius Lovegood. What in the world? What is he doing here? Well, clearly he was willing to sell out Harry to the Death Eaters. We learn that Luna’s live was on the line and that is why he did it, but looking back, what else would he have been willing to do? Kill Harry himself?

· 17:37 Umbridge. She is the most easily hated villain in Harry Potter, but she is also quite terrifying. She isn’t particularly scary in Order of the Phoenix, but in the Deathly Hallows, we learn how far she is willing to go. She was giving out Azkaban sentences like candy on Halloween. What else is she doing that we don’t know about?

· 24:21 Dementors. We couldn’t have a Halloween episode without these guys. If their name is said, the very temperature of the room drops. Nothing will ever beat them in terms of scare factor. They are the very embodiment of fear; a rotting hand opening a door, the crackle of freezing water, the wave of the hooded cloak in invisible wind. Boy oh boy, they take the cake.
