Hate his actions, pity his torment, and enjoy the conflict he brings.<br /><br />I have to say that, while I am fond of Voldemort, Professor Umbridge (Harry Potter) has to be someone I love to hate the most. She is evil in, what feels like, just for the sake of it--but thinks she is perfection and sweet. Her racism, cruelty, two-face antics drove me up the wall but I wasn't annoyed by her character, I really enjoyed how she was portrayed and what she seemed to add in. She wasn't there just for the sake of being evil, she really did move the story along. <br /><br />Also have to agree with one of the comments, Loki was a fantastic villain in the Avengers and Thor. He was a villain with a past, emotions, and had character depth. He wasn't evil for the sake of being evil. He was a villain with more of a reason. That is always a great antagonist. They van be so interesting if there is more reason to their dark, twisted ways.Paige Lolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109827447400720330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351235520870325177.post-67125047689787322832012-09-05T22:01:16.041-04:002012-09-05T22:01:16.041-04:00Interesting list.
