Bellatrix wasn’t just evil—she enjoyed destruction. Her madness made her unpredictable and deadly.

Bellatrix murdered Sirius Black—her own cousin—without hesitation. No remorse, just joy.

Unlike Voldemort, Bellatrix didn’t seek power. She craved pain and chaos. That made her even more dangerous.

Even other Death Eaters feared her loyalty and recklessness. No one was safe around her.

Her love for Voldemort was obsessive. She would do anything—anything—to please him.

Bellatrix was one of the most skilled duelists in the series. Even powerful wizards struggled against her.

Torturing Hermione wasn’t strategy—it was cruelty. She was ruthless to the core.

Bellatrix was more than a follower—she was his weapon. His most faithful soldier, and his most feared.

Voldemort was calculated. Bellatrix was chaotic. Her unpredictability made her lethal.

Only Molly Weasley could stop her. It took a mother’s fury to defeat Bellatrix.

No fear, no hesitation. Bellatrix had already given up her soul to serve darkness.

Voldemort wanted control. Bellatrix wanted destruction. Which one is truly more terrifying?
