Harry stands no chance against these powerful wizards.

Every wizard has his own power ceiling. Although we have seen many powerful wizards throughout the Harry Potter franchise, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which one is stronger.

Some may be skilled in certain types of magic, while others have talents that give them an advantage. But which wizard would win a duel to Harry Potter himself?

Severus Snape

Severus Snape was an outstanding potions master and the creator of new deadly spells. Snape was a cunning strategist, skilled tactician and one of the bravest wizards who managed to deceive Voldemort.

He has shown his skills more than once in the movies, and it is absolutely certain that if Harry and Severus had to fight at full strength, Potter would not stand a chance.

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall has experience, knowledge of all types of magic, and a talent for transfiguration and transgression. Not only is she an animagus who can turn into a cat, but she also has a great command of combat magic.

Even JK Rowling confirmed that if Snape had not escaped from the duel with Minerva, she would have won. If Harry hadn't stood up to Snape, Minerva would have ended the duel in a matter of minutes.

Bellatrix Lestrange

The Dark Lord's most valuable servant was Bellatrix Lestrange. She was known to be a fanatical and cruel fan of Voldemort. Bellatrix was the perfect duelist, trained in combat magic. She was also fond of using forbidden spells, which would doom Harry to death in a one-on-one duel.

Alastor Moody

Alastor was a legendary hereditary Auror who captured half the prisoners of Azkaban. He fought the Death Eaters and lost an eye.

He was an excellent duelist and a talented wizard who became the main threat for the Death Eaters and would be more than a formidable opponent for Harry Potter. It is difficult to believe in Potter’s victory, to say the least.

Albus Dumbledore

At first, Dumbledore seems harmless – a kind old man, the headmaster of Hogwarts, who wants only the best for everyone. But over the course of the franchise, fans have witnessed flashes of his power, learned of his dark past and of his magical abilities that surpass even Voldemort’s.

Sorry, Harry Potter, but no chances here.
