Hey everyone! Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed the video please hit the like button! Which 5 Aurors do YOU think are most powerful? Let me know down below
I like mad eye..........and I have a question for you Who would win..... Grindelwald with "elder wand" (as he is a true master whereas Voldy wasn't) and voldemort with his "original wand"......??? And both are in their prime forms...... And also plz make a video on this topic🙏🏻🙏🏻
In the context of Harry Potter I agree with this list. But post battle of Hogwarts even with all of these guys gone. Harry Potter is my humble opinion the best Auror. Deserving of Head of the Dept. Successor to Mad-eye & Albus
I'd move Frank and Alice Longbottom up on the list. They faced down Voldemort 3 times and survived. They only lost when they were caught unawares by 4 of the strongest death eaters that existed. That's certainly better than anything Dawlish has ever been able to accomplish.
WystenDraco because he was close in power, and closer in intellect. (Probably slightly smarter) so he has to be very careful around him. Voldemort even at HALF power fought Dumbledore, and didn’t lose (didn’t win either though)
Apparently Kingsley Shacklebolt deemed everyone who survived the Battle of Hogwarts to be fully qualified to become auror for their strength of character and skills. If they managed to survive a battle against so many adult death eaters, they were certainly overqualified in concerns to the minimum requirements to undergo training as auror. I bet the following years after the battle sees many new aurors in service.
Especially Neville Longbottom, he straight up faced Voldemort and killed Nagini with the Sword of Gryffindor, thats next level validation if even the Sword thought he was worthy
I like how dawlish is an excellent auror but in the books he does nothing but gets hexed two times by Dumbledore, once by neville's grandmother and smashed by hagrid
Thats the thing he is a excellent auror but not even close to top 5. The longbottoms, Theseus, Harry(yes Harry is way better than someone like dawlish) and probubly some of the characters that only is named around once or twice in the books as well as some of the aurors that isn’t in the books.
Victor L i would imagine harry learned a lot of skills and power from dumbledore picture after the battle and became the most powerful wizard and auror in the country
Everyone seems to forget that Dawlish was under a confundus charm for most of the seventh book, against Dumbledore, almost nobody stands a chance, and his character seems to be a good person, so he likely didn't want to hurt Hagrid or Neville's grandmother
Kingsley shacklebolt is a beast! Aswell as being powerful he's got a lot more sense and reasoning than most, he's not one to follow blindly. Integrity!
And the best and it's no surprise he did he litterally took on a hole race of creatures that are litterally a tank and can kill anything in a single shot
if you´re unsure about the capabilities of either moody or crouch jr. think about this: moody is said to be responsible for about half of the prisoners being in azkaban and crouch jr. took this guy down with the help of pettigrew (a guy even schoolchildren can beat) and moody was said to be paranoid about constant vigilance or being attacked so even a surprise attack shouldn´t give crouch that much of an advantage
People always rail on Pettigrew, but I really think he’s actually underrated. Sure he was a bit of a coward, but he wasn’t a weak wizard in his prime. Not only was he an animagus, he was also adept at potion making and dark magic. Even after going insane from prolonged transfiguration, Wormtail was able to successfully cast Avada Kadavra many times with little effort. People don’t realize how difficult that spell is to cast, not just anyone can do it. It takes a lot of passion, hatred, and magical power to perform successfully.
Voldy would shitstomp. Grindlewald is powerful af and a worthy foe. but Voldemort bragged about pushing the boundries of magic. He was the best legillmens in the world, understood spells at a young age, arguable better than dumbledore did.
Alaster Moody was a gifted Auror though after the first wizarding war it did sound like he suffered from PTSD and had to resign as an Auror for that reason. Tina Goldstein was very likely skilled in occulmency since her little sister was a natural legilimens and she didn't want her little sister to know everything that she was thinking. Would it have been unusual in the 1920s for women to become Aurors since most young women at that time were like Queenie working in an office job until marriage when they would quit their jobs and become housewives.
I do not think that it would have been unusual. We see that the Wizarding World (when it came to Witches and Wizards at least) were not as discriminatory as their muggle counterparts. For instance, in the U.S. during the 1920's, Black people were treated quite poorly, but in the Wizarding World, the President of MACUSA was a Black woman. It is proven that they definitely did not discriminate against women (as in witches) like muggles either. That is why I do not think Tina's post was unusual at all.
But I appreciated the fact that in the Wizarding World, discrimination existed, but targets discriminated against were not the same as targets of muggle discrimination. The reason for that is the fact that I would not have believed Witches and Wizards were humans, if they did not discriminate against others (whether that been other humans, as in muggles, or magical beings/creatures).
Shackelbolt fought Voldemort twice and is only number three ? He fought Voldemort in the battle of the seven Potters while having to protect Hermione and then together with Mcgonagall and Slughorn like bro he should be number two because Moody is like top one for sure .
Miquel Canosa Santeularia no bro Scrimgeour was held captive by Voldemort in order to spill the tea concerning Harry’s whereabouts and after refusing to give in he was executed in the spot . He didn’t duel Tom
Yeah, Kingsley's way more impressive than Moody from what we saw in the books. Maybe when Moody was in one piece, he was as good as Kingsley, but he did lose to Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr while Kingsley could actually take two Death Eaters.
@@CulturalMarxist4985 true, but moody was sneaked attacked. Normally that means to loose authomatically. It is true that in the secon wizard war kingsley was more impressive than moody
Shacklebolt was I think one of the cornerstones of the Order of the Phoenix. Every time he was mentioned in the books, you could tell that he's powerful but also very dependable. A very stable factor in the order.
Extremely hopeful that we get to see mad eye moody in his prime in the fantastic beasts movie, he is like the outright coolest character in the whole franchise
Xtreme Dan the fantastic beasts series is a prequel series so he may show up. Do you even know anything about the series because that was such an obvious mistake that even most people that have almost no knowledge of HP know this...
The series is set inbetween 1920 and 1945, so chances are he isn't going to be featured since it is before his time. However, in crimes of grindelwald we see professor mcgonagall, but she isn't supposed to be born yet, so maybe they'll just add him in too?
Kingsly being one of the strongest is also shown in part 2 of Deathly Hallows when he sent that death eater flying back out the window. One of the best moments of the film IMO.
I'm very surprised that you didn't put Harry on the list itself, he was the youngest ever Auror as he was only 17 when he got the position and he was also the youngest head Auror in history at the age of 27 and then became the head for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the age of 29 all without ever taking his NEWTs. He is also the only wizard to ever exist that has survived the killing curse twice and killed the strongest wizard alive at the time.
@@zacharybumstead4759 A written knowledge test does not equate to an actual practical exam. I could very easily read an entire book on how to be a brain surgeon, but that does not mean I can perform said operation.
I think Amelia Bones should be in here somewhere - She was noted as one of the greatest witches of the age, and Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. On top of that, Voldemort killed her in person, which he didn't normally do unless it was worth his time, and she put up a real fight.
I think he needed to kill her in person too. She was holding her own against the multiple deatheaters trying to kill her AND held up against voldemort for some time after he showed up too. However, the head of magical law enforcement isn’t necessarily an aura so she might be disqualified
Barty crouch junior is for sure a great death eater seeing as he had to play the part of mad eye and was able to fool a good part of the students and staff (for a while). His downfall was his father figuring out who he was and was forced to kill him.
Man, for most channels, only 10% of their subscriber regularly watch their videos. But for u, 10 times for your subscribers are watching your videos! That not only exceeds expectation, that's outstanding!
Its crazy how we are all admiring the power of these aurors, but only Moody, the strongest, managed to show up on lists for strongest wizards. Dang, dumbledore, grindelwald, and Voldemort were crazy
Well, the most powerful Auror of all time would easily be Grindelwald when he was posing as Percival Graves. He must have done the job to some extent to remain hidden so he was technically a functioning Auror.
Well, Graves was not an average Auror. That is my problem with this list. Graves should have been on the list, not an "honorable mention", and his place should have been right after Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shackelbolt. President Picquery, who was quite an intelligent and talented witch herself, never even remotely questioned Graves's extraordinary/a bit out of place powers, such as when "he" arrested Newt, Jacob, and Tina and confiscated Newt's suitcase without a wand and not uttering a single word. I know it was really Grindelwald, but still, he was far too strong not to be on this list.
@@noorykorky5056 I certainly agree with that. Graves must have been pretty powerful as well.Otherwise, people would have noticed a substantial change in his abilities when Grindelwald replaced him. Graves should probably be on this list too. My only point here is that Grindelwald was technically an auror (posing as Graves) for a time and would have been at the top of this list.
I remember Moody commenting that his magical eye kept sticking after Barty Jr used it. I always figured it stuck at just the wrong time and helped get him killed.
I think shackle bolt was WAY more powerful than this, however I can’t deny that Mad eye Moody is the strongest, however I’m not sure about your place meant of Rufus, he might not be stronger than shacklebolt, and definitely is not as intelligent.
I think he's talking at their apex. I don't think there's much doubt that Kingsley is the strongest in the series (and probably 3rd strongest overall after Voldemort and Dumbledore), but Moody was the Auror's auror. Comparing him to Scrimgeour is tough, but I'd give the edge to Kingsley for being much younger.
Kingsley's probably the most impressive auror. He took on two Death Eaters at once in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and he was actually able to hold off Voldemort in the Battle of the Seven Potters, while Moody was killed. Maybe when Moody was in one piece, he was as good, but Kingsley has better feats in the books.
Another of Shacklebolt's feats was his duel against Voldemort at the end of the story, although he had McGonagall and Slughorn by his side, is still quite an accomplishment.
I'd love a series centered around Mad-Eye, touch on the earlier Wizard Wars and he seems a character with so much backstory to touch into that it feels a shame that most of what we got to know of him was essentially someone pretending to be him, and him dying.
@@astrax2426 NO they are more powerful than Dawlish. Come on, even Frank Longbottom mom, Augusta Longbottom kick Dawlish ass and send him to a hospital.
@@PisstachioDisguisey No,Bellatrix, Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange.Bellatrix is a Black but by marriage, she beacame a Lestrange.Only two of the black sister are Death Eaters
I loved the fact that you put Tina Goldstein in this, but Theseus Scamander was also a very powerful auror from the Fantastic Beasts movies. Percival Graves was quite powerful as well, even though he was impersonated by Gellert Grindelwald.
Theseus may have been at the same level as Tina, but Graves was definitely more powerful than her. I mean, President Picquery didn't seem remotely surprised when "he", without a wand, casually caught and arrested Tina, Newt, and Jacob and impounded Newt's case-- all wandless, non-verbal magic. I know that it was not actually him as Grindelwald was posing as him (and that is why I put the word "he" in quotation marks), but still, the fact that President Picquery was not even remotely surprised says a lot (about both Graves's power and Grindelwald's).
Well yeah but even though Grindelwald was "impersonating" Graves, why doesn't he count as an aurora since he had all the qualifications and its never even stated whether "Graves" was a person or just someone Grindelwald made up to get hired as an auror.
Agree if this is in the period of the movies. If it was of all time, then for sure Harry should be at least top 2 in this list. He became the youngest Head of Aurors of all times in 2007. He was a very powerfull wizard, no doubt of that, he was probably between the strongest of his time.
Considering Crouch Jr.s accomplishments I'd say he's definitely one of the most powerful and magically skilled Death Eaters that's why he was able to capture Moody Pettigrew is easily the weakest Death Eater
Frank & Alice should be ranked way higher. They denied Voldemort 3 times before they were tortured to mental collapse. Facing off Old Voldy 3 times and living to tell the tale is impressive. And surviving extreme physical torture (even at the cost of a total mental retreat) and refusing to give up details on rumors regarding Voldemort (Bellatrix was searching for him after the Potters were killed) shows their toughness even in defeat.
Moody might have been older and clearly less mobile because of his injuries, but there is no doubt he was still someone not to mess with. That is why I respect Crouch Jr. because he managed to capture Moody.
I think Moody should be at the bottom of this list. He was killed easily by Voldemort, defeated by Barty Crouch Jr. (who spent most of his life either in Azkaban or under the imperious curse), and during the fight in the ministry he went down really fast. He also lost his eye, chunk of nose, and leg in 1 fight. Probably one of the only actual fights he was in during his career as an Auror. I’d judge all his reputation based off his investigative intelligence. We don’t really know what all he did as his time as an Auror, other than arrest a great amount of wizard and witches, and he demonstrates in the books that he is an unskilled dueler. Id rank Amelia Bones #1. Fudge mentioned her in book 6 when speaking to the Prime Minister. “We think that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may have murdered her in person because she was a very gifted witch and all the evidence was that she put up a real fight.”
You are mentioning Moody only after his prime and after the 1st wizarding war. He captured Bellatrix Lestrange who was One of the most powerful Death Eaters, She was able to capture and torture the Longbottoms. Kill Sirius Black and Hold her own in a 3v1 Against Luna Ginny and Hermione which were all very gifted witches. The only reason he got his ass kicked from Voldemort is because Mundongus Fletcher got one good look at Voldemort and decided to Apparate away. He never had the time to do anything else to Voldemort. He fell in the ministry on a 2v1 After his prime. You cannot blame him for all his work on the field and still deciding to fight in the Second wizarding war. Batty Crouch was A smart and powerful wizard. It is said that Moody put up a damn good fight. It was once again a 2v1 When moody was no longer in his prime. Amelia bonds was never a Auror but Head of magical law enforcement. She was a super gifted which but I would not place her above Kingsley or Scrimgeuor.
Harry potter became an auror too, and he is the only one who defeated Voldemort in dueling, and several other death eaters as well. Also he was able to defeat 100s of dementors when he was just 13 years of age. He should ne their too
Honestly, Barty Jr. wasn't only the most powerful death eater. When you really look at what he did and how easily he did it, having been unable to cast for something like 12/13 years, I wouldn't be at all shocked if he could have at least begun to rival Dumbledore one day, given enough time and room to stretch.
What did he really "do"? Okay, he and Wormtail managed to subdue Moody when Moody was apparently half-asleep (and definitely past his prime) -- he impersonated Moody (admittedly with great skill and cunning) for quite a few months; he killed his father (who was extremely weakened by then), turned him into a bone, and buried him. But we never really get to see him in action in any kind of real fight or wand-to-wand confrontation (Dumbledore certainly made short work of him after realizing who he was). He seemed to me like a spoiled privileged kid with an attitude, getting revenge on his father for not having raised him right. Over-ego'd punks like that are a dime a dozen in U.S. prep schools and Ivy League colleges.
@@jazzmanchgo Moody was past his prime, sure, but wasn't weak by any means. I doubt Wormtail would have been much help. Corrupted the goblet - first and only person to do it. Impersonated a highly trained veteran auror flawlessly, which means doing everything Moody could do without issue, giving a perfect impersonation that fooled people he'd known for decades. At least two human transfigurations, at least one of which was wordless. In the movieverse, he even affected the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall and the enchantments on the school are not weak. And he did this all while developmentally at age 19, barely past graduation and with somebody else's wand. Most would have struggled with the transfiguration alone with their own wand, nevermind somebody else's. It's kind of between the lines and yeah, there's an ego there, but based on the information we have, he was actually kind of insanely good at it. Dumbledore - especially when approaching from behind - was still better, because he'd had decades more without restriction to grow. That and he's just Dumbledore. The last few scenes were pure plot convenience.
Moody's excellence is only in history and in the eyes and mouth of his colleagues. If you think clearly, we readers and movie watchers never read or saw Moody doing anything extraordinary. On the contrary, we saw a defeated and frail Moody captured inside his own trunk. apart from a small win in OOTP, next we know, he dies in DH. He may have been the greatest Auror, but we don't see him doing anything great.
1: Harry James Potter (due to having defeated Voldemort) 2: Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody 3: Percival Graves (If Grindelwald was so powerful, how else would he have not given himself away for so long?) BIG GAP 4: Kingsley Shacklebolt 5: Porpentina "Tina" Scamander nee Goldstein
I feel like just the fact that he was able to pretend to be Moody without ANY of the other professors or Dumbledore realizing it was Barty Jr shows just how freaking powerful he was.
Moody was one of my favorite characters in the series ........But just imagine had Richard Harris lived to finish the movie franchise as Dumbledore and as for Power even Voldemort thought twice before fighting him......
first is Alastor Mad-Eye, other places everyone can put as they see fit, but number one is crystal clear, half of azkaban is his personal result:D and shooting with Staff, like in 5th film, that was amazing:D too bad he didn't make to final battle, it could be glorious PVP to avenge dumbledor's death, between him and Tom (maybe he would lose to some random small thing as cliff-hanger moment climax but it would be a thriller duel)
This was a good list, but if it were up to me: 1. Alastor Moody, 2. Kingsley Shackelbolt, 3. Rufus Scrimgeor (his ranking could be the tied with Shackelbolt, though), 4. Percival Graves (as himself, not Grindelwald disguised as him), 5. Porpentina Scamander (born Goldstein), tied with Theseus Scamander.
I don't know about Ron or Neville, but Harry has throughout the books/movies displayed an aptitude for Defense Against the Dark Arts - while he may be mediocre in other subjects, his talent for that particular skill-set, combined with his nerve, ingenuity, and passion for fighting the Dark Arts, he would certainly have made a greater-than-average Auror... though I cannot say whether he'd make the top 5 list, maybe the top 10.
Honestly, I think Neville would have just been recruited to fill the ranks. I'd imagine the Death Eaters killed off as many aurors as they could when they were in power and there was probably something similar to the Nuremberg trials for all the witches and wizards that sided with Voldemort. I think he has the strength of character just not the natural ability to be an auror in normal circumstances.
Polyjuice Moody and Remus Lupin were hands-down the two best Defense teachers in the books. I'm guessing the "real" Moody would have been just as good.
0:32 And that, Potterheads, was the old-fashioned, one-of-a-kind Bicycle Luggage-Rack Broom, or BLURB. It perfectly suited Mad-Eye's character, and had the space to meet his broader backside's needs. Rest in peace, Mad-Eye.
I think Harry Potter should have topped that list. While I don't know what he did in his career, the fact that he faced the Dark Lord multiple times before his eighteenth birthday before killing him meant that he was a wizard with plenty of skills.
Top 5 Aurors, but still got wiped the floor with when facing Dumbledore or Voldemort. In Dawlish's case, Dumbledore stated that even though he got all "O" on his Newts, Dumbledore didn't want to hurt him.
I think the problem with power scaling in Harry Potter is that, while Rowling is good at showing rather than telling when it comes to a lot of things, showing off how powerful characters are isn't one of them. There are obvious exceptions. Major characters like the Trio, Dumbledore, and Voldemort all clearly display their abilities, which makes sense since they're often the main focus of the story and we largely see it through Harry's eyes. However, a lot of the other characters tend to get Worf'd in the worst way. I think Dawlish is a fantastic example. We're *told* about how good he is at all of these things, but the only times we ever really see him are when he's faced with things well beyond a normal wizard's ability. And without actually seeing how good he is, him being defeated doesn't hold nearly the kind of impact that the author was probably hoping for. It just makes him seem lackluster in practice, regardless of what we've been told about him. For comparison, take a character like Vegeta in early DBZ. When he's introduced, he's depicted as this nearly unstoppable force. His subordinate crushes most of the heroes that we've already seen display their skills throughout DB, and when that subordinate isn't strong enough for the more powerful heroes, Vegeta dispatches him and begins handling things personally, at which point he displays his own powers in battle. The heroes have to throw everything they have at him, and are still only able to scrape out a stalemate at best, with both sides retreating to recover. In the next arc, we see Vegeta face several enemies that are shown (albeit through the increasingly lazy and less useful "power level" concept) to be as strong as some of the heroes were in the previous arc, and Vegeta dispatches them with the same ease that he did those heroes. We repeatedly see, through action rather than exposition, how dangerous and powerful he is. So when he suddenly gets curbstomped by a new group of villains, it catches the viewers off guard and they can instantly recognize how dangerous the new characters are, because they've already seen firsthand how strong the one who lost was. If we had never seen Vegeta prior to the fights where he's defeated, and had just seen characters saying "Oh, he's totally this super strong and skilled fighter," then their words might lend *some* weight, but ultimately it wouldn't have nearly the same impact when he loses. DBZ is hardly the epitome of skilled writing, but that's something it tended to do well, particularly in the early arcs of the series. That's what Rowling fails to do with a lot of supporting characters that are supposed to be super impressive. She tells us that they're awesome by having people like Voldemort or Dumbledore compliment their abilities, but she very rarely shows it to the audience, and then she has a stronger character easily dispatch them. Sometimes entirely off screen. Sure, being complimented by characters like that holds some weight, but even a rookie who actually shows what they do leaves more of an impression than someone who has repeatedly been called a master only ever being depicted as the loser. That's my take on it, anyway.
Thanks for yet another great video m8. I wanna point out one thing though. If you look at the frame at 12:20 in this video. Don´t you guys think that the makeup department of WB did an amazing job ageing the kids in the epilog? I mean it´s almost 20 yrs ago since the ending of the last Potter movie and Emma and Daniel have aged pretty much the same as the make up artist guessed ,eh? give Daniel and Emma ten more yrs and I think they will look very close to what they look at the end of the movie :) - Makeup artists are so amazing :D
(Just some constructive criticism, no harm intended so please don't take it in a bad way): Something that I would change about the language used in these theory videos is to say "In my opinion" or "due to these facts, I believe" as otherwise what is being said comes across very matter of factly and as if it is official and truth, theories are meant to be about drawing conclusions from evidence and I think it is important to mention that, any theorist is drawing conclusions, most of the time without conclusive evidence as that is what theorising is about, pushing boundaries and expanding thoughts. I just think that sometimes it is important to mention that in the language because there is no pottermore or wizarding world ranking of the 5 most powerful aurors, it is a theory. Sorry if this sounds harsh, basically I would suggest that you just change some of the language used in your videos for future reference, I love your content, just that was something that I have noted lately.
Just came across your channel, got my like and sub! I originally watched the movies as they came out in order to make fun of the Harry Potter nerds accurately and in their own language, but by Azkaban, I started the books as I was both hooked had a new group of friends lol
Just found this channel and I’m lovin all the content, I was wondering if you can start to look into the new Hogwarts Legacy game and what type of magic we’ll experience in that FYI I’m subscribed
Are you only including pre Battle of Hogwarts Aurors, or do you count also post battle aurors? Because If you do, then were does Harry Potter fits in the list?
I think Harry himself should have made the list. JK Rowling has said that Harry went on to become an Auror and eventually head up the entire Auror department. He defeated Voldemort in a head to head duel at the end of The Deathly Hallows which by itself speaks to his power and ability.
I don't think it would take Harry a lot of time to catch up to Dawlish, no. With the real-life experience he has at the end of DH, I'd assume he's almost there already, and after years of studying and practicing as an Auror, he would almost certainly be better.
Well if you're going to get technical like that then the #1 spot should clearly be held by Grindelwald as he was an auror at one point for a while and no one can argue that he would place within the top 5 most powerful wizards of all time, let alone aurors.
Harry was a skilled duelist but he survived Voldemort due to sheer luck and plot armor most of the time. That one time it was Priori Incantatem. Then it was Dumbledore. Then it was the part of Voldemort's soul inside that took the killing curse instead of him allowing him to come back from "dead". Finally it was Voldemort's ego and misunderstanding of Wand's allegience that finished him off. And of all the horcruxes, Harry only destroyed one, having his friends and heck even Voldemort destroy horcruxes for him.
I've always had an issue with Moody's capture by Barty Jr. I mean this was his house, which should've been like a fort or something. Before I read the books and with only the movies, I thought that Moody was captured with the help of Voldemort.
That did seem like a plot hole when I first read it; how could one of the world's greatest Aurors be subdued by a spoiled brat with an attitude and a mediocre, cowardly wizard? Only answer I can think of is that he'd lost a few steps since retiring.

Harry is a Aurur
Since Tina’s on here, I’d say Theseus Scamander would be somewhere on my top 5. He was, after all, Head Auror and a war hero.
You May not like him minister but you can’t deny Dumbledores got Style.

He his not the one saying it the books though...
in the book that line is from Phineas Nigellus Black's portrait
That’s gotta be why he’s so good
I'd move Frank and Alice Longbottom up on the list. They faced down Voldemort 3 times and survived. They only lost when they were caught unawares by 4 of the strongest death eaters that existed. That's certainly better than anything Dawlish has ever been able to accomplish.

This just shows how badass Dumbledore actually was. Aurors are so skilled but compared to him they’re just normal wizards/witches 😂😂
So true.
So blunting true.
Yep, the only one stronger than Dumbledore is Voldemort. (Odviously)
Drew Menck is that why dumbledore won a fight against voldermort
WystenDraco because he was close in power, and closer in intellect. (Probably slightly smarter) so he has to be very careful around him. Voldemort even at HALF power fought Dumbledore, and didn’t lose (didn’t win either though)
I wish Mad Eye Moody was in the final battle of hogwarts.
I think that it would be rather funny to watch him bad mouth the death eaters during the batter.
ikr I wish he didn't die...
And Sirius too.....

“Nice one James”😭😭😭😭
Ludimeel Lupin But right now we’re referring in the movie but good spot
Apparently Kingsley Shacklebolt deemed everyone who survived the Battle of Hogwarts to be fully qualified to become auror for their strength of character and skills. If they managed to survive a battle against so many adult death eaters, they were certainly overqualified in concerns to the minimum requirements to undergo training as auror. I bet the following years after the battle sees many new aurors in service.
Well we already know Harry becomes one no?
@@freasefraim yes so did Ron and neither graduated school so Kingsley made exceptions for them to join.

I like how dawlish is an excellent auror but in the books he does nothing but gets hexed two times by Dumbledore, once by neville's grandmother and smashed by hagrid
Thats the thing he is a excellent auror but not even close to top 5. The longbottoms, Theseus, Harry(yes Harry is way better than someone like dawlish) and probubly some of the characters that only is named around once or twice in the books as well as some of the aurors that isn’t in the books.

And the best and it's no surprise he did he litterally took on a hole race of creatures that are litterally a tank and can kill anything in a single shot
And he had 12 OWL's!
So did moody
The only reason why moody got captured is cuz he retired and was never the same after.
Shutup you loser
Do you still have to have good grades if you fight voldemort almost every year at school?
I believe so. I mean, Harry got pretty good grades, so it worked out after all. But you bring up a really good point.
I doubt it
AHAHA LMAOOO-
Normally i think so but harry didnt finish school and became an auror
@@strawberri98 its a joke-
Dawlish, really? All he ever did in the entire series was get his ass kicked. He was literally nothing but a punchline in Deathly Hallows.
He was a way better auror than showed in the series even though he is never a top 5 or top 10 or a top 50
He was the auror assigned to follow dumbledore, that should already tell you he is one of the best aurors.
@@Julian-pw5mv But got his ass kick by Augusta Longbottom. But then again he went after the Longbottom so he didnt really have a chance.
Literally a PUNCHine
@@shadowing_songIf I remember correctly he was drunk when facing Augusta and to be fair she was a powerfull witch.
if you´re unsure about the capabilities of either moody or crouch jr. think about this: moody is said to be responsible for about half of the prisoners being in azkaban and crouch jr. took this guy down with the help of pettigrew (a guy even schoolchildren can beat) and moody was said to be paranoid about constant vigilance or being attacked so even a surprise attack shouldn´t give crouch that much of an advantage
People always rail on Pettigrew, but I really think he’s actually underrated. Sure he was a bit of a coward, but he wasn’t a weak wizard in his prime. Not only was he an animagus, he was also adept at potion making and dark magic. Even after going insane from prolonged transfiguration, Wormtail was able to successfully cast Avada Kadavra many times with little effort. People don’t realize how difficult that spell is to cast, not just anyone can do it. It takes a lot of passion, hatred, and magical power to perform successfully.
Maybe a video about who would win in a battle between Voldemort and Grindelwald.
It's in the works!
Voldemort without a doubt
@James Harold Grindelwald with elder wand(as he was a true master whereas voldemort wasn't) and voldemort with his original wand
@@shuvamacharya8001 That would be Grindelwald, then
Voldy would shitstomp. Grindlewald is powerful af and a worthy foe. but Voldemort bragged about pushing the boundries of magic. He was the best legillmens in the world, understood spells at a young age, arguable better than dumbledore did.
Alaster Moody was a gifted Auror though after the first wizarding war it did sound like he suffered from PTSD and had to resign as an Auror for that reason. Tina Goldstein was very likely skilled in occulmency since her little sister was a natural legilimens and she didn't want her little sister to know everything that she was thinking. Would it have been unusual in the 1920s for women to become Aurors since most young women at that time were like Queenie working in an office job until marriage when they would quit their jobs and become housewives.
I do not think that it would have been unusual. We see that the Wizarding World (when it came to Witches and Wizards at least) were not as discriminatory as their muggle counterparts. For instance, in the U.S. during the 1920's, Black people were treated quite poorly, but in the Wizarding World, the President of MACUSA was a Black woman. It is proven that they definitely did not discriminate against women (as in witches) like muggles either. That is why I do not think Tina's post was unusual at all.
But I appreciated the fact that in the Wizarding World, discrimination existed, but targets discriminated against were not the same as targets of muggle discrimination. The reason for that is the fact that I would not have believed Witches and Wizards were humans, if they did not discriminate against others (whether that been other humans, as in muggles, or magical beings/creatures).
Shackelbolt fought Voldemort twice and is only number three ? He fought Voldemort in the battle of the seven Potters while having to protect Hermione and then together with Mcgonagall and Slughorn like bro he should be number two because Moody is like top one for sure .
true but scrimgeour faced up against voldemort alone, lost, but i think he was alone. Quite close though
Miquel Canosa Santeularia no bro Scrimgeour was held captive by Voldemort in order to spill the tea concerning Harry’s whereabouts and after refusing to give in he was executed in the spot . He didn’t duel Tom
Ok yeah but he can't go up the list he was barely passed his tasks so he's a great wizard but he can't the top 2
Yeah, Kingsley's way more impressive than Moody from what we saw in the books. Maybe when Moody was in one piece, he was as good as Kingsley, but he did lose to Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr while Kingsley could actually take two Death Eaters.
@@CulturalMarxist4985 true, but moody was sneaked attacked. Normally that means to loose authomatically. It is true that in the secon wizard war kingsley was more impressive than moody
Shacklebolt was I think one of the cornerstones of the Order of the Phoenix. Every time he was mentioned in the books, you could tell that he's powerful but also very dependable. A very stable factor in the order.

@@patrickstanley1723 lol sorry

The series is set inbetween 1920 and 1945, so chances are he isn't going to be featured since it is before his time. However, in crimes of grindelwald we see professor mcgonagall, but she isn't supposed to be born yet, so maybe they'll just add him in too?
Rufus Scrimgeour: Tell me Misss-ter. Pott-ter... do you fearrr... death!?
That's an ambitious crossover
Harry: You have no idea.
I totally heard that in Bill Nighy's voice.
NICE ONE JAMES
Kingsly being one of the strongest is also shown in part 2 of Deathly Hallows when he sent that death eater flying back out the window. One of the best moments of the film IMO.
I'm very surprised that you didn't put Harry on the list itself, he was the youngest ever Auror as he was only 17 when he got the position and he was also the youngest head Auror in history at the age of 27 and then became the head for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the age of 29 all without ever taking his NEWTs.
He is also the only wizard to ever exist that has survived the killing curse twice and killed the strongest wizard alive at the time.
They never rank Harry in Harry Potter rankings 😭😂
Harry wanting to be an Auror while having an arsenal of about 3 spells was always hilarious as hell to me.

@@Very_Bord the OWL has a practical and written test.
I think Amelia Bones should be in here somewhere - She was noted as one of the greatest witches of the age, and Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. On top of that, Voldemort killed her in person, which he didn't normally do unless it was worth his time, and she put up a real fight.
I think he needed to kill her in person too. She was holding her own against the multiple deatheaters trying to kill her AND held up against voldemort for some time after he showed up too.
However, the head of magical law enforcement isn’t necessarily an aura so she might be disqualified
Barty crouch junior is for sure a great death eater seeing as he had to play the part of mad eye and was able to fool a good part of the students and staff (for a while). His downfall was his father figuring out who he was and was forced to kill him.
The secret to my success... CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

Man, for most channels, only 10% of their subscriber regularly watch their videos. But for u, 10 times for your subscribers are watching your videos! That not only exceeds expectation, that's outstanding!
Percival Graves finds his place in just honorable mention.
I believe he was far superior than remaining 4, he was very high ranking auror in MACUSA.
Its crazy how we are all admiring the power of these aurors, but only Moody, the strongest, managed to show up on lists for strongest wizards. Dang, dumbledore, grindelwald, and Voldemort were crazy
Well, the most powerful Auror of all time would easily be Grindelwald when he was posing as Percival Graves. He must have done the job to some extent to remain hidden so he was technically a functioning Auror.
Wow now that you said that I can't help but feel pitty for the poor criminals who had to face off against Grindelwald instead of your average Auror^^
Well, Graves was not an average Auror. That is my problem with this list. Graves should have been on the list, not an "honorable mention", and his place should have been right after Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shackelbolt. President Picquery, who was quite an intelligent and talented witch herself, never even remotely questioned Graves's extraordinary/a bit out of place powers, such as when "he" arrested Newt, Jacob, and Tina and confiscated Newt's suitcase without a wand and not uttering a single word. I know it was really Grindelwald, but still, he was far too strong not to be on this list.
@@noorykorky5056 I certainly agree with that. Graves must have been pretty powerful as well.Otherwise, people would have noticed a substantial change in his abilities when Grindelwald replaced him. Graves should probably be on this list too. My only point here is that Grindelwald was technically an auror (posing as Graves) for a time and would have been at the top of this list.
I remember Moody commenting that his magical eye kept sticking after Barty Jr used it. I always figured it stuck at just the wrong time and helped get him killed.
I think shackle bolt was WAY more powerful than this, however I can’t deny that Mad eye Moody is the strongest, however I’m not sure about your place meant of Rufus, he might not be stronger than shacklebolt, and definitely is not as intelligent.
Drew Menck I would even argue that during the second wizarding war kingsley outclassed even moody
I think he's talking at their apex. I don't think there's much doubt that Kingsley is the strongest in the series (and probably 3rd strongest overall after Voldemort and Dumbledore), but Moody was the Auror's auror. Comparing him to Scrimgeour is tough, but I'd give the edge to Kingsley for being much younger.
Kingsley's probably the most impressive auror. He took on two Death Eaters at once in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and he was actually able to hold off Voldemort in the Battle of the Seven Potters, while Moody was killed. Maybe when Moody was in one piece, he was as good, but Kingsley has better feats in the books.
Considering they're working on a new show...centering it around Aurors would be dope
Another of Shacklebolt's feats was his duel against Voldemort at the end of the story, although he had McGonagall and Slughorn by his side, is still quite an accomplishment.
Thank you for doing this video
I'd love a series centered around Mad-Eye, touch on the earlier Wizard Wars and he seems a character with so much backstory to touch into that it feels a shame that most of what we got to know of him was essentially someone pretending to be him, and him dying.
I imagine it like jack bauer from 24 but with magic.
We didn't even experience him dying, they were just like "he ded"
11:07 “Dropped down a peg.” I see what you did there. Straight faced pun, classic.
Tonks might not be in the top 5 but she will forever be my favorite Auror

I loved the fact that you put Tina Goldstein in this, but Theseus Scamander was also a very powerful auror from the Fantastic Beasts movies. Percival Graves was quite powerful as well, even though he was impersonated by Gellert Grindelwald.
Theseus may have been at the same level as Tina, but Graves was definitely more powerful than her. I mean, President Picquery didn't seem remotely surprised when "he", without a wand, casually caught and arrested Tina, Newt, and Jacob and impounded Newt's case-- all wandless, non-verbal magic. I know that it was not actually him as Grindelwald was posing as him (and that is why I put the word "he" in quotation marks), but still, the fact that President Picquery was not even remotely surprised says a lot (about both Graves's power and Grindelwald's).
Well yeah but even though Grindelwald was "impersonating" Graves, why doesn't he count as an aurora since he had all the qualifications and its never even stated whether "Graves" was a person or just someone Grindelwald made up to get hired as an auror.
Agree if this is in the period of the movies. If it was of all time, then for sure Harry should be at least top 2 in this list. He became the youngest Head of Aurors of all times in 2007. He was a very powerfull wizard, no doubt of that, he was probably between the strongest of his time.
Nice video!!!!!😍😁😁😁
First!
Gabriel Austin Rae Javier Cool! good job!
Could you please do a video on brooms, and how they differ? Also I wanted to ask you to explain mad eye ''s broom. I have never seen one like it.
Considering Crouch Jr.s accomplishments I'd say he's definitely one of the most powerful and magically skilled Death Eaters that's why he was able to capture Moody Pettigrew is easily the weakest Death Eater
Frank & Alice should be ranked way higher. They denied Voldemort 3 times before they were tortured to mental collapse. Facing off Old Voldy 3 times and living to tell the tale is impressive. And surviving extreme physical torture (even at the cost of a total mental retreat) and refusing to give up details on rumors regarding Voldemort (Bellatrix was searching for him after the Potters were killed) shows their toughness even in defeat.
Moody might have been older and clearly less mobile because of his injuries, but there is no doubt he was still someone not to mess with. That is why I respect Crouch Jr. because he managed to capture Moody.
I think Moody should be at the bottom of this list. He was killed easily by Voldemort, defeated by Barty Crouch Jr. (who spent most of his life either in Azkaban or under the imperious curse), and during the fight in the ministry he went down really fast. He also lost his eye, chunk of nose, and leg in 1 fight. Probably one of the only actual fights he was in during his career as an Auror. I’d judge all his reputation based off his investigative intelligence. We don’t really know what all he did as his time as an Auror, other than arrest a great amount of wizard and witches, and he demonstrates in the books that he is an unskilled dueler.
Id rank Amelia Bones #1. Fudge mentioned her in book 6 when speaking to the Prime Minister.
“We think that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may have murdered her in person because she was a very gifted witch and all the evidence was that she put up a real fight.”
You are mentioning Moody only after his prime and after the 1st wizarding war. He captured Bellatrix Lestrange who was One of the most powerful Death Eaters, She was able to capture and torture the Longbottoms. Kill Sirius Black and Hold her own in a 3v1 Against Luna Ginny and Hermione which were all very gifted witches. The only reason he got his ass kicked from Voldemort is because Mundongus Fletcher got one good look at Voldemort and decided to Apparate away. He never had the time to do anything else to Voldemort. He fell in the ministry on a 2v1 After his prime. You cannot blame him for all his work on the field and still deciding to fight in the Second wizarding war. Batty Crouch was A smart and powerful wizard. It is said that Moody put up a damn good fight. It was once again a 2v1 When moody was no longer in his prime. Amelia bonds was never a Auror but Head of magical law enforcement. She was a super gifted which but I would not place her above Kingsley or Scrimgeuor.
Moody was one of my favorite characters, wish he would have stayed alive so we could see him do more
Though anyone doubts about moody's being number 1....but still he will be in our hearts forever who fought the dark lord's army valiantly
Comparing Harry potter to James bond?! My mind is officially blown!! 🤯🤯
Absolutely agree with this top!! Moody was a beast!!
I love your longer and more in-depth videos!! But all of your content is great. Subscribed.
Harry potter became an auror too, and he is the only one who defeated Voldemort in dueling, and several other death eaters as well.
Also he was able to defeat 100s of dementors when he was just 13 years of age.
He should ne their too
Honestly, Barty Jr. wasn't only the most powerful death eater. When you really look at what he did and how easily he did it, having been unable to cast for something like 12/13 years, I wouldn't be at all shocked if he could have at least begun to rival Dumbledore one day, given enough time and room to stretch.
What did he really "do"? Okay, he and Wormtail managed to subdue Moody when Moody was apparently half-asleep (and definitely past his prime) -- he impersonated Moody (admittedly with great skill and cunning) for quite a few months; he killed his father (who was extremely weakened by then), turned him into a bone, and buried him. But we never really get to see him in action in any kind of real fight or wand-to-wand confrontation (Dumbledore certainly made short work of him after realizing who he was). He seemed to me like a spoiled privileged kid with an attitude, getting revenge on his father for not having raised him right. Over-ego'd punks like that are a dime a dozen in U.S. prep schools and Ivy League colleges.
@@jazzmanchgo Moody was past his prime, sure, but wasn't weak by any means. I doubt Wormtail would have been much help. Corrupted the goblet - first and only person to do it. Impersonated a highly trained veteran auror flawlessly, which means doing everything Moody could do without issue, giving a perfect impersonation that fooled people he'd known for decades. At least two human transfigurations, at least one of which was wordless. In the movieverse, he even affected the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall and the enchantments on the school are not weak. And he did this all while developmentally at age 19, barely past graduation and with somebody else's wand. Most would have struggled with the transfiguration alone with their own wand, nevermind somebody else's. It's kind of between the lines and yeah, there's an ego there, but based on the information we have, he was actually kind of insanely good at it. Dumbledore - especially when approaching from behind - was still better, because he'd had decades more without restriction to grow. That and he's just Dumbledore. The last few scenes were pure plot convenience.
Moody's excellence is only in history and in the eyes and mouth of his colleagues. If you think clearly, we readers and movie watchers never read or saw Moody doing anything extraordinary. On the contrary, we saw a defeated and frail Moody captured inside his own trunk. apart from a small win in OOTP, next we know, he dies in DH. He may have been the greatest Auror, but we don't see him doing anything great.
1: Harry James Potter (due to having defeated Voldemort)
2: Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody
3: Percival Graves (If Grindelwald was so powerful, how else would he have not given himself away for so long?)
BIG GAP
4: Kingsley Shacklebolt
5: Porpentina "Tina" Scamander nee Goldstein
I pronounce scrimgeour as scrimjur, it's how Stephen fry pronounces it

(Jk I say it like Scr-ih-m-jur)
I totally agree wih your list but I suggest that mentioning Harry Potter, Frank and Alice Longbottom and Percival Graves is also a good idea
Maybe Dawlish's merit as an auror has more to do with his investigative ability rather than his magical ability?
He wouldnt be the personal guard of the Prime Minister then

Kingsley is one of my favorite characters in the series.
@HarryPotterTheory I Love the Bond Reference!!! Great List!!! Love your Channel in Keeping The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Alive!!!
I feel like just the fact that he was able to pretend to be Moody without ANY of the other professors or Dumbledore realizing it was Barty Jr shows just how freaking powerful he was.
Moody was one of my favorite characters in the series ........But just imagine had Richard Harris lived to finish the movie franchise as Dumbledore and as for Power even Voldemort thought twice before fighting him......
can you make a videos about how's magic can define as dark magic?
first is Alastor Mad-Eye, other places everyone can put as they see fit, but number one is crystal clear, half of azkaban is his personal result:D and shooting with Staff, like in 5th film, that was amazing:D too bad he didn't make to final battle, it could be glorious PVP to avenge dumbledor's death, between him and Tom (maybe he would lose to some random small thing as cliff-hanger moment climax but it would be a thriller duel)
How about Barty Crouch sr.? Was he an auror before becoming a head of magical law enforcement?
doesn't matter even if he was. He was weak-hearted and got manipulated by his wife and son, not a good sign for an Auror.
@@debajyotinath5021 That doesn't mean that he wasn't the most powerful

Top 5 of Grindelwald skills
This was a good list, but if it were up to me: 1. Alastor Moody, 2. Kingsley Shackelbolt, 3. Rufus Scrimgeor (his ranking could be the tied with Shackelbolt, though), 4. Percival Graves (as himself, not Grindelwald disguised as him), 5. Porpentina Scamander (born Goldstein), tied with Theseus Scamander.
I do wonder how powerful Harry, Ron and Neville were as Aurors; in comparison to the ones in the list.
I don't know about Ron or Neville, but Harry has throughout the books/movies displayed an aptitude for Defense Against the Dark Arts - while he may be mediocre in other subjects, his talent for that particular skill-set, combined with his nerve, ingenuity, and passion for fighting the Dark Arts, he would certainly have made a greater-than-average Auror... though I cannot say whether he'd make the top 5 list, maybe the top 10.
@Peter Ang You freakin mad! He became an auror for 2 years.
@@AtharvPriyadarshanam from where did you get that info if nothing like that is mentioned in the books?
in terms of magical power. Harry is easily the top of he's era.
Honestly, I think Neville would have just been recruited to fill the ranks. I'd imagine the Death Eaters killed off as many aurors as they could when they were in power and there was probably something similar to the Nuremberg trials for all the witches and wizards that sided with Voldemort. I think he has the strength of character just not the natural ability to be an auror in normal circumstances.

Top 5 Aurors, but still got wiped the floor with when facing Dumbledore or Voldemort. In Dawlish's case, Dumbledore stated that even though he got all "O" on his Newts, Dumbledore didn't want to hurt him.
I think the problem with power scaling in Harry Potter is that, while Rowling is good at showing rather than telling when it comes to a lot of things, showing off how powerful characters are isn't one of them. There are obvious exceptions. Major characters like the Trio, Dumbledore, and Voldemort all clearly display their abilities, which makes sense since they're often the main focus of the story and we largely see it through Harry's eyes. However, a lot of the other characters tend to get Worf'd in the worst way. I think Dawlish is a fantastic example. We're *told* about how good he is at all of these things, but the only times we ever really see him are when he's faced with things well beyond a normal wizard's ability. And without actually seeing how good he is, him being defeated doesn't hold nearly the kind of impact that the author was probably hoping for. It just makes him seem lackluster in practice, regardless of what we've been told about him.
For comparison, take a character like Vegeta in early DBZ. When he's introduced, he's depicted as this nearly unstoppable force. His subordinate crushes most of the heroes that we've already seen display their skills throughout DB, and when that subordinate isn't strong enough for the more powerful heroes, Vegeta dispatches him and begins handling things personally, at which point he displays his own powers in battle. The heroes have to throw everything they have at him, and are still only able to scrape out a stalemate at best, with both sides retreating to recover. In the next arc, we see Vegeta face several enemies that are shown (albeit through the increasingly lazy and less useful "power level" concept) to be as strong as some of the heroes were in the previous arc, and Vegeta dispatches them with the same ease that he did those heroes. We repeatedly see, through action rather than exposition, how dangerous and powerful he is. So when he suddenly gets curbstomped by a new group of villains, it catches the viewers off guard and they can instantly recognize how dangerous the new characters are, because they've already seen firsthand how strong the one who lost was. If we had never seen Vegeta prior to the fights where he's defeated, and had just seen characters saying "Oh, he's totally this super strong and skilled fighter," then their words might lend *some* weight, but ultimately it wouldn't have nearly the same impact when he loses. DBZ is hardly the epitome of skilled writing, but that's something it tended to do well, particularly in the early arcs of the series.
That's what Rowling fails to do with a lot of supporting characters that are supposed to be super impressive. She tells us that they're awesome by having people like Voldemort or Dumbledore compliment their abilities, but she very rarely shows it to the audience, and then she has a stronger character easily dispatch them. Sometimes entirely off screen. Sure, being complimented by characters like that holds some weight, but even a rookie who actually shows what they do leaves more of an impression than someone who has repeatedly been called a master only ever being depicted as the loser. That's my take on it, anyway.

(Just some constructive criticism, no harm intended so please don't take it in a bad way):
Something that I would change about the language used in these theory videos is to say "In my opinion" or "due to these facts, I believe" as otherwise what is being said comes across very matter of factly and as if it is official and truth, theories are meant to be about drawing conclusions from evidence and I think it is important to mention that, any theorist is drawing conclusions, most of the time without conclusive evidence as that is what theorising is about, pushing boundaries and expanding thoughts. I just think that sometimes it is important to mention that in the language because there is no pottermore or wizarding world ranking of the 5 most powerful aurors, it is a theory.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, basically I would suggest that you just change some of the language used in your videos for future reference, I love your content, just that was something that I have noted lately.

I think Harry himself should have made the list. JK Rowling has said that Harry went on to become an Auror and eventually head up the entire Auror department. He defeated Voldemort in a head to head duel at the end of The Deathly Hallows which by itself speaks to his power and ability.
I don't think it would take Harry a lot of time to catch up to Dawlish, no. With the real-life experience he has at the end of DH, I'd assume he's almost there already, and after years of studying and practicing as an Auror, he would almost certainly be better.
Well if you're going to get technical like that then the #1 spot should clearly be held by Grindelwald as he was an auror at one point for a while and no one can argue that he would place within the top 5 most powerful wizards of all time, let alone aurors.
Harry was a skilled duelist but he survived Voldemort due to sheer luck and plot armor most of the time. That one time it was Priori Incantatem. Then it was Dumbledore. Then it was the part of Voldemort's soul inside that took the killing curse instead of him allowing him to come back from "dead". Finally it was Voldemort's ego and misunderstanding of Wand's allegience that finished him off. And of all the horcruxes, Harry only destroyed one, having his friends and heck even Voldemort destroy horcruxes for him.
Basically the aurors are like joining the special forces. Not just skills in combat but also got the smarts for it.
I think it would have been nice if moody survived till the battle of hogwarts to really see what moody could do
I've always had an issue with Moody's capture by Barty Jr. I mean this was his house, which should've been like a fort or something. Before I read the books and with only the movies, I thought that Moody was captured with the help of Voldemort.
That did seem like a plot hole when I first read it; how could one of the world's greatest Aurors be subdued by a spoiled brat with an attitude and a mediocre, cowardly wizard? Only answer I can think of is that he'd lost a few steps since retiring.
