The 10 Worst Decisions Harry Potter Ever Made

Harry Potter is a hero, but he’s not perfect. He’s made some bad decisions over the years, some of which have had serious consequences. Here are the 10 worst decisions Harry Potter ever made:

1. Not taking his Occlumency lessons seriously.

In Order of the Phoenix, Harry is taught Occlumency by Severus Snape. Occlumency is a mental discipline that allows wizards to protect their minds from intrusion. Voldemort is trying to get into Harry’s mind, and Snape is supposed to help Harry learn how to block him out. However, Harry doesn’t take the lessons seriously, and he eventually quits. This is a big mistake, because it leaves Harry vulnerable to Voldemort’s attacks.

2. Going to the Ministry of Magic to rescue Sirius.

In Order of the Phoenix, Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured at the Ministry of Magic. He believes that Sirius is in danger, so he and his friends go to rescue him. However, they are ambushed by Death Eaters, and Sirius is killed. This is a devastating loss for Harry, and it’s all because he didn’t think through his decision to go to the Ministry.

3. Saying “Voldemort” out loud.

In Goblet of Fire, Harry learns that saying Voldemort’s name aloud is a taboo. When he says the name, Death Eaters are alerted to his location. This leads to a dangerous confrontation, and Harry is almost killed. Harry knows about the taboo, but he still says Voldemort’s name out of anger. This is a reckless decision that could have cost him his life.

4. Not letting Sirius and Lupin kill Pettigrew.

In Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry discovers that Peter Pettigrew is the real traitor who betrayed his parents to Voldemort. Harry wants to kill Pettigrew himself, but Sirius and Lupin stop him. They argue that Pettigrew should be brought to justice, not killed. Harry eventually agrees, but he never forgives Sirius and Lupin for stopping him. This is another example of Harry making a decision based on emotion, rather than logic.

5. Lying to Griphook.

In Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron, and Hermione need to get the Sword of Gryffindor from Gringotts Bank. They enlist the help of Griphook, a goblin, to help them break into the bank. However, Harry lies to Griphook about his intentions. He tells Griphook that they only want the sword, but they really plan to steal the bank’s gold as well. Griphook eventually finds out about the lie, and he betrays Harry and his friends. This is another example of Harry’s bad decision-making costing him and his friends dearly.

6. Using Sectumsempra on Draco Malfoy.

In Half-Blood Prince, Harry finds a spell book in the Room of Requirement. The book is full of dark magic spells, and Harry starts experimenting with them. One day, Harry uses a spell called Sectumsempra on Draco Malfoy. The spell cuts Draco deeply, and he nearly bleeds to death. Harry is horrified by what he has done, and he realizes that he has gone too far. This is a reminder that even Harry, a hero, is capable of making mistakes.

7. Not telling Sirius about his visions of Voldemort.

In Order of the Phoenix, Harry starts having visions of Voldemort’s plans. He knows that these visions are important, but he doesn’t tell Sirius about them. He is afraid that Sirius will get in trouble if he knows about them. However, Harry’s decision to keep the visions a secret leads to Sirius’ death. If Harry had told Sirius about the visions, Sirius might have been able to do something to prevent Voldemort’s plan from succeeding.

8. Trying to save everyone in the Second Task.

In Goblet of Fire, Harry is one of the champions in the Triwizard Tournament. During the Second Task, Harry has to save his fellow champions from the merpeople. However, Harry doesn’t just save his friends. He also saves all of the merpeople who are being held captive by the tournament organizers. This is a noble act, but it’s also a reckless one. Harry puts himself in danger, and he nearly drowns. This is a reminder that even the best intentions can lead to bad consequences.

9. Not wanting to talk about Cedric with Cho Chang.

In Order of the Phoenix, Harry starts dating Cho Chang. However, Cho is still grieving the death of her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory.
