Best harry potter characters

Hermione wins 63% of her duels and tops the Harry Potter JE ranking ahead of Luna, with 1454 ELO points.

A commanding 116 ELO points separate Hermione from Luna at the summit, the widest gap in the entire ranking and a margin that underscores Hermione's dominance among fans. The battle for second place could not be tighter: Snape trails Luna by just 1 point at 1337 ELO, with Ron close behind at 1329. McGonagall completes the top 5 with 1317 points after 1859 duels, proving that beloved authority figures still command respect. The podium reveals a clear preference for characters who combine intelligence with defiance, whether through academic brilliance, quiet rebellion or moral complexity. Hermione's 1600 duels have cemented her position, though Luna's 1806 confrontations show she remains a persistent challenger.

The bottom of the ranking tells a harsher story. Peter Pettigrew languishes at 22nd with 761 ELO and an 18% win rate across 1243 duels, narrowly behind Umbridge at 839 points. Betrayal and cruelty earn last place in this community. Since its last update on 10 October 2026, this ranking has gathered 18535 duels from 258 players across 22 contenders. Every vote reshapes the standings, so cast yours and see if Hermione's lead holds or if Luna can close the gap.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
