Best Duelists

Yeah, JK kinda just inserted the part about Moody being beaten into a few little lines that you'd barely read. It's easy to miss, don't worry.

Since a lot of people questioned or disputed the credibility of Mrs Weasley killing Bellatrix, I will try to play the devil’s advocate and put it a bit in to reality contex.

First, Bella was so full with her self and underestimate the little housewife Mrs Wealsey.

Second, Mrs Weasley here resembles the natural instinct of mother (parents) defending her/their youth, under such circumstances people are known to perform extraordinary things, what under other circumstances are impossible. Bella threatened to kill her children.

Thirdly
” He is not your son Molly”
” Yes, but he is as good as one”
She believed that Harry Potter was killed. Some one she liked like her own son. Some one she owned the lives of her daughter Ginny, her husband Arthur. Killed by the group of Bellatrix

Last. Her son was killed, one of the twins, she turned in to a lioness, kill…kill…kill….

What was the motivation of Bellatrix… she was happy Voldermort killed Harry she believed, so she underestimated the little housewife…. she beleived the success was so near, and she became reckless... And she died! and I'm happy for that🙂

I generally like to view the ten best duelists as follows:

Lord Voldemort
Albus Dumbledore
Gellert Grindelward
Bellatrix Lestrange
Alastor Moody
Kingsley Shacklebolt
James Potter
Serverus Snape
Sirius Black
Minerva McGonagall

I'll post reasons later, but I'm pretty sure that's spot on.

Albus Dumbledore
Lord voldemort
Gellert Grindlewald
Mcgonagall
Severus Snape
Bellatrix Lestrange
Mad eye moody
Kingsley shacklbolt
Lucius malfoy
Sirius Black
Flitwick
Dolohov
Lupin
Tonks
Draco
Hermione
Harry
Ron
Neville

I would put Snape above McGonagall. Kingsley probably became better then Moody.
I would also put above Bellatrix and the others.

1. Mrs. Weasley
2. Dumbledore

3. The rest.

1. Dumbledore

2. Grindelwald

3. Voldemort

4. Snape

5. Minerva

6. Sirius

7. Flitwick

8. Bellatrix

9. Lupin (Interchangable with 8)

10 Lucius (Dolohov should be here as his feats outclass Lucius's but Lucius has accolades which put him above Dolohov so that's why Dolohov isn't here)

Honourable Mentions: Kingsley and Dolohov

You're going to hell, fr.

1. Albus

The rest really is a toss up between people like Severus, Bellatrix, Kingsley, Mad-Eye, Harry.

How? She rekt him in Order of the Phoenix and has beaten people far superior to him.

I think Albus Dumbledore
