6. Grindlewald [after all, Dumbles beat him]
7 Harry Potter [is powers are mostly potential in the books, even up to DH, but dood, he is destined for great things.
8. Voldemort. Uber-powerful, but failed to kill Harry each time he tried.
9. Severus Snape. Enough magic to make sure Voldie doesn't find out that he's a double... triple? - crosser. That's pure, concentrated, POWA.
10. Bellatrix Lestrange/Sirius Black. The first wouldn't be Volde's ho if her power levels weren't so high. The second hiding in plain sight in Hogsmeade during the invisible rise of Voldemort in OotP.
I agree with this break down completely. 😊
Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and earned the allegiance of the Elder wand. Sure Grindelwald ws powerful but even with the help and allegiance of the elder wand Dumbledore managed to defeat him. In book 5 Dumbledore and Voldemort duel in the atrium in the ministry of magic. I'd say that the duel is very close and that's with Dumbledore in posession of the elder wand (with allegiance to HIM). Voldemort is no doubt powerful. I'm thinking Voldemort is a more powerful wizard but probably not by too much.

I always considered Voldemort as stronger than D since he did not have an uber wand.
Considering that Voldemort even at the height of his power wasn't dumb enough to openly challenge Dumbledore, I'd say their strengths were close enough that they could be tied, with Dumbledore slightly edging him out because Voldemort was afraid of Dumbledore, not the other way around.
Also, this was all when Voldie didn't even know Dumbledore had the Elder Wand.

I argue based off of movie feats/portrayals. Read my posts for a change. You admitted you saw these movies once probably a long time ago.
LoL, stop lying. You're biased as they come. More lying, I said I've seen each movie in full once. In parts, I've seen them a few times; that's not counting the many times I've watched online clips posted.
So two lies, got anything else?

I don't think he's lying its how he perceives the fight. They were evenly matched in the movie, though Dumbledore was pushed back at the conclusion of the fight.

That's a non sequitur, I didn't say he was lying about his opinion in a Dumbledore Vs Voldermort fight.
Dumbledore is the more powerful wizard overall, Voldermort knows this, why he ultimately fears him.

Harry fears Dementors, does that mean Dementors are more powerful than Harry? And Dumbledore was saved from an AK by Fawkes during his duel with Voldemort. Snape showed that not even D is safe from AKs.
