14. Professor Dolores Umbridge

This woman was a piece of work, to put it mildly. We initially expected her to be a lovely woman. Professor Umbridge had the sweetness and appearance of a gigantic piece of cotton candy. However, we quickly realized her to be a wretched human. Her cruel methods of punishments included Harry coming away with a gnarly scar on his hand (which reads, “I must not tell lies”). She institutionalized Hogwarts — and effectively had the esteemed Albus Dumbledore jettisoned for a laundry list of made-up rules. As her plans eventually came crashing down, Umbridge set out to attack the likes of Harry, Ron, and Hermoine. This was the case… until a herd of angry centaurs hauled her off into the forbidden forest. Umbridge’s levels of cruelty should be applauded — if for nothing more than the fact she became the most hated teacher in Hogwarts’ history.
