Bellatrix Lestrange! I hatedd that woman! Also Alina from grisha trilogy, America from the selection and katniss from the hunger games. Obviously i don't like female main characters in trilogies😂😂
Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre is a horrible character and I was so angry that he got a happy ending! He locked up his wife that was mentally unstable and lied about it and had such a bad temper and was also just all around creepy. And as for a great villain, I'd say Magneto from the X-Men comics/movies, because he has such a great reason for doing what he does and you kind of don't even blame him. And the fact that he struggles between good and evil constantly... I think it makes him a really interesting and compelling character!
Agree on Snape. I understand why fans love him- interesting character, tragic love story etc. But what I do not get is Harry's point of view. How this one revelation at the end could change the whole history they had, in a heartbeat? You cannot just wipe it away. And then Harry named one of his children after him? I just found it very bizzare.
I particular remember that scene when Hermione’s teeth got longer and she was devastated as she had always been insecure about them. And then when Snape was asked to punish the student who did this to her he answered something like: I do not see any difference. It takes a special kind of jerk to say that.
Natalia Weronika Petersson I think it is because he is like a Christ figure, so the ultimate ability to forgive is a must. I am not sure I have that ability.
I also have very strong opinions on Snape. I love his character for the troubled, layered character he is, but as a person I can't stand him and I did. not. buy his supposedly redemption arch. He was a jerk at any given chance, to KIDS, while being in a position of power himself, and then we're supposed to be on board with him being a good guy because he was in love with Lily and was sorry about what he did? If he felt so bad, why did he mistreat Harry and his friends as much as he did? Yeah. No, thanks. I'd be OK with Harry forgiving him at some point, but to go and name his child after him? NO.
I both agree and disagree. Snape is no doubt a rude character, BUT he’s not evil and thats the key. The reason he’s not evil, is because at the end when he’s dying he shows Harry WHY he acted the way he did. It’s basically an apology. If he really was as evil as he comes off as, he wouldn’t have showed Harry his past. Harry being a good person, understood Snape’s story and named his kid after him, because he loved his mother.
Yeah, Snape helping protect Harry doesn't excuse him bullying children. I heard a theory that he was probably mean to Neville because Neville and Harry's birthdays are a day apart and Neville's family could have been the one for the Prophecy. And Snape is angry that Lily was targeted and not Neville. In a way that's kind of worse because Neville was also just a baby when it happened and had no control over it. Also, Snape was more obsessed with Lily than in love with her. Had Lily not been the target, Snape would have remained a Death Eater.
I read an interesting theory that part of the reason Neville’s afraid of Snape could be that he’s aware of Snape having been a Death Eater. Since there were always rumors about Snape being affiliated with Voldemort, Neville knowing full well what happened to his parents could have been extra afraid of a teacher who was cruel to him if he had heard those rumors. Idk, just an idea I had never thought of that put a slightly different light on the boggart scene for me.
Snape was not obsessed. They were friends. They knew each other well. Far better than Potter when he got interested in Lily. So don't say he was a stalker.
@@fenelona Maybe not a stalker, but he was still obsessed with her. He acted that she owed him her love because they were friends. But when the dark arts became more important to him than her feelings, she had to cut him out of her life, but he still expected her to love him. Then he went on to bully her son because he looked like his dad.
draco👏🏽deserved👏🏽a👏🏽redemption👏🏽arc👏🏽not👏🏽snape👏🏽 draco's redemption arc - if you can even call it that cos it was so half arsed. can you imagine how much better the character arc of the kid who was groomed in an extremely toxic environment would had been? for jk rowling to provide time the decent page time to have him see the error of his parents' way and adapt his own views? but nah we were given one with the adult who voluntarily joined a racist cult. i'm just saying 🙃
Honestly Tom Felton is the reason I cared so much about Draco, he played him so well! He did kinda redeemed himself a bit but I would totally be okay with more!
After rereading Harry Potter for a millionth time, I realised that the Harry Potter Generation is kinda a repeat of the Marauders Generation. Harry is Sirius (abusive Household, still very famous lastname, seeks comfort in his friends etc.), but Harry can make peace with Draco, what Sirius Never did. with Snape. Ron is James, Hermione is Lupin/Lily. Neville is Peter, but he chooses to fight instead of betray his Friends. Luna is Snape (the outsider, always bullied etc), but she chooses light over Darknesss. And Draco is Regulus Black. While Regulus actually gets a redemption arc, Draco can never find the courage to do the same…
I think that most of these characters you mentioned are technically great characters but also not meant to be likeable. I personally more hate characters who are meant to be likeable or the readers should root for but only makes me mad like Lila Bard, Celaena Sardothien, Alina Starkov, Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbrier, and many more.
I don’t hate these characters. I Despise them. Amir- The Kite Runner, William- The Pillars of the Earth (I’ve never encountered a villain as vile as Him. Excluding Ramsay), Starling- The Realm of the Ealderlings series, Denna- The Name of the Wind, Fumero- The Shadow of the Wind and Every. Single. SJM character.
Snape was a huge Bully!! Uhhg he get's under my skin. He took everything chance he had to be a stupid git at the children in Hogwarts. Everything good he did was to ease his guilt mind af
When it comes to Jane Austen the Eltons from 'Emma' are absolutely the worst. Looking at more recent reads: REGAL from the Farseer Trilogy! I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands. Also, Feyre from ACOTAR is insufferable.
I really hate umbridge, Feyre, Rhysand or literally any sjm character (except Manon), Mal from grisha trilogy, Zara Dearborn from the dark artifices, Serai from strange the dreamer, Lucia from fallen kingdoms, Dumbledore, leah Burke from simon vs universe, Achilles from the song of Achilles, lila bard, Jude Duartes twin sister whose name I forgot (Taryn?), Denna from kingkiller chronicles, Henry from the raven cycle, anybody from twilight with the exception of Seth and Bree Tanner, Kip and everybody else from light bringer, kelsey or whatever the main characters name is from the queen of the tearling, Shirin from a very large expanse of sea, Arwen from lotr, & probably soooooo many more
@SuckMy Pickle I was like omg how did and could I forgot Dumbledore for a second. Even as a child I never liked him & probably never will. But yaaaay more Dumbledore dislike
I thought you were going to mention Celaena for sure 😂 Totally agree about Umbridge, she is literally the worst. I also hate Hilly Holbrook from The Help because she's such a racist and just so awful. Really not a fan of Mal from the Grisha trilogy. Also Edward Cullen, I can't stand him.
My favorite characters in HP are the likes of Snape, Dumbledore (despite all of Jo’s unnecessary comments), and the Malfoys as a family. I think I found them most interesting because they’re nuanced and their uncanny ability to adapt. It seems clear that Jo wanted Snape to be the extremely jaded character turned bully that we’ve all encountered. And she wrote those parts so well. What the fandom does to his character, romanticizing him and Lily is probably an unintended consequence. I don’t think Jo ever intended for the reader to overlook his bullying ways. At the end of the day, I think Snape is her best written and developed character. The life of a double agent isn’t easy, but I don’t think we’re supposed to condone his behavior as a teacher either. I can only imagine the complex web of lies he lived in order to maintain his double-life for so long. Of course, Jo killed her theme of forgiveness by trivializing it in the epilogue. So what can I say besides she should have burned that epilogue and just ended on the last chapter. I get why the Weasleys, Sirius Black, Dobby, etc are such popular characters. But I’ve always found them to be quite two dimensional. In fact, Luna who appears way later than everyone else has more dimensions than the Weasleys as a whole.
Erika I don’t see how people can sympathize with her at all. She was weak, vapid, and had no redeeming qualities! I don’t even get why Gatsby loved her so much!
(spoiler) She is superficial and only dated Gatsby because of the luxury of his money. For me she made that pretty clear when she didn't even care to call, when he died. Didn't even show at his funeral.
I honestly dislike Sansa so much more than Joeffrey. Joeffrey was the villain, he was meant to be disliked. Sansa is the person who really caused the death of her father by going to Cersei when they were going to leave because she couldn't be taken from "her brave prince". This is after her lie about Arya when Joeffrey was going to kill the butcher's son on the trip down and then was only upset that her wolf was killed in the incident. Throughout she thinks only of her fairy tales and not of any consequence. This is even more evident in the books where she is now in the Eyrie, having seen her aunt thrown to her death by Little Finger she doesn't think twice as Little Finger plots to wed her to Lord Robert's heir even though for her to gain power it means that Little Finger will have to get rid of Lord Robert.
Umbridge is the worst, I don't hate Snape but I am annoyed at how people forgive him for what he did so easily. Characters I hate-Aelin, whose nothing but a tyrant who gets too much praise who also made Rowan who was pretty cool into a lifeless robot dedicated to her. Cleo from Falling Kingdoms and Vin from Final Empire for just being protagonists I can't personally stand. Mae from The Circle, for just turning into a horrible person. I would have said Lara Jean but in the movie I actually liked her.
Snape doesn't seem that horrible in the movies, so I used to like him. But now that I'm re-reading the books I can't help but hate him. The way he bullies Neville all the time is horrible!
I feel the same way! In movies he doesn't seem so bad but in books it's very different. I too used to love him based on his character in movies but now I'm reading the book, he's a terrible person
About Snape... Rowling completely ripped him off Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. If you haven't read it (or if you have) just picture Heathcliff and Katherine like if they were Severus and Lily. She completely ripped them off to tell that story, IMHO in a bad way, because Emily Brönte doesn't want to redeem them (Katherine is a bad person too) she just pictures them as they are. Rowling tried to redeem him in the last five minutes of her narrative and did a terrible job, ruining his character. Heathcliff and Severus are the classic archetypal tortured character whose jealousy, rage, anger and all the bad emotions of the sort that you can think about destroy them and everybody around them, and they are meant to stay that way. Then again, there are characters like Jaime Lannister (don't get me wrong, I really like him) whose fuckwad levels are never reached by Snape, and yet, he got an amazingly written redemption ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I completely agree with Snape. Never liked him and never will. You can’t be redeemed for being a complete a** just because you were rejected in school.
I absolutely despised lexie from Jurassic Park (the book), I just wanted her to get eaten! I didn't like feyre from ACOTAR either and The Mountain was horrible in Game of Thrones! I hated joffrey but I also loved hating him too and missed him when he died, the mountain was just someone I wanted to see destroyed!
Assef from the Kite Runner is one of the most terrible characters I've ever read about... anyone who's read the book knows. Also would love to hear about your thoughts on the actors who played the Pride and Prejudice characters! The Kiera Knightly version is my favourite.
burganza bollywood I HATED Amir. I hated him so much I almost couldn’t finish the book. Oh my goodness, all the hell Hasan goes through because of his so called “friend” Amir is just... ugh! One of the most selfish characters I had the great displeasure of encountering.
@@BridgeFour05 I had such mixed feelings about Amir, mostly when he was a child, but tried to see past it because he really tried to redeem himself at the end. But I absolutely hated how he acted with Hassan as kids 😒 Hassan is literally the sweetest soul
The minute you held up Pride & Prejudice I knew you were going to discuss Lydia, she's awful, she's so selfish and self-centered and immature. Totally agree that's there is little to empathize with her about, she's dreadful.
Celeana or what ever from Throne of glass is horrible too. Favorite villian... I guess I don't know if they're *true* villian but Victor Vale from Vicious. And I love Kaz from Six of Crows. He's not a good guy but he's not evil either...
he did a lot more than one good thing, but to each their own. he certainly wasn't 'good' even though some of what he did was an act, but I always found him more interesting a character for it. Most people are selfish, we do things for selfish reasons. we all like to think we know how we'd act in XYZ situation when psychological studies have shown time and again that actually we've no idea/would do the opposite. he felt more real to me than a lot of the characters that were just coded 'good' or 'bad' and therefore felt more flat and unreal.
I've been hating him more and more because of all the people loving him simply based one the "always". Tbh it makes me uncomfortable to see how so many romanticize his character just because he loved someone even after "all these years" :/
@@BookswithEmilyFox I do that, start to really hate something because of how others defend it. or love it. I find the 'Always' kinda creepy - he didn't really love her per se, he'd kinda just romanticised her over the years. I found Lily suddenly loving James ridiculous (james was a complete douche and a bully) after he did basically nothing to change so I can see why Snape would be pissed, but yeah, he put her on a pedastal and its sad but doesn't make up for stuff he did. I care more about him trying to protect the students in the 7th year, what he did to protect dumbledore (who I also don't like much) and what he did to try and stop Moldy Voldy rising again. the Always is a nothing to me
The worst for me is Snape and no "always" can fix that. He just plain abusive to the KIDS, he's mean and he was just "taking care" of Harry because he felt guilty. And even when he was at fault for the death of his parents, Snape still treated him like trash and saw in Harry what he wanted to see. Like I hate that people forget that scene on the Half Blood Prince where he makes him rewrite punishments and gives him Sirius and James' files making a horrible comment when Harry was still grieving for Sirius. Oh my god, I just hate him.
Live watching: Oooh if she says Mr. Darcy I'm unsubscribing! Phew! Okay, I'm still subscribed. 😂 I think Lydia was supposed to be a stereotype from books of the time. I'm listening to the audible audiobook and loving it all over again. It's the best!
I'm so sad this video is over already. I just really watched this with a big smile and had all the same feelings about these awfull characters! Keep doing these things 👍 I laugh out loud with your vids
I agree with this entire list 😂 I would LOVE to see another most hated characters list but with no villains on it (for example more characters like Lydia)...
I just did Pride and Prejudice in University and I agree, Lydia is a very silly girl. She doesn't even realise what she's done to her family or what Wickham is truly like. I wanted someone to yell at her already, make her realise her mistakes!
You don't get to be a good person by performing as a Deatheater in your free time. It would be unrealistic if the past didn't tell on Snape. It was a mistake to let him teach kids, but it was Dambldore's mistake. He wanted to keep Snape at hand.
Yes! Finally someone feels the same way about Snape as I do. He is not a good person and one good thing and a sad back story doesn't make everything he's done okay.

umbridge being dragged away by the centaurs and joffrey dying are some of the most satisfying scenes i've read tbh
oooh girl you need to watch the lizzie bennet diaries on youtube and then tell me you don't like lydia!! but dickham - ahem, wickham - is in my top 5 least favorite characters of all time
Finally someone who don't like Snape!! Yes! Totally agree also for that douchebag from Sleeping Beaties. I thought that maybe you would talk about Lila Bard (I was wrong).
OMG yes! I absolutely agree with you about Snape. He acted to awful towards his pupils, I mean, he was Neville's boggat for crying out loud. He was *a child's* biggest fear!
Emily, you should totally check out The Lizzie Bennet diaries here on youtube!! It's a modern version of P&P in a vlog format, and Lydia's character is SO MUCH better. She grows out of her mistakes and you end up liking her a lot! Hank Green wrote it and produced it i think, and damn, it's short, fun and overall really good
@@BookswithEmilyFox Bella is stale white bread and has no personality so I don't see her as a person or even a proper character. Lila still has personality but she's just awful.
I don’t know if you’ve watched the web series ‘the Lizzie Bennet Diaries’ but you should check it out for just another (amazing) pride and prejudice version. And an actually likeable Lydia (I hate her in every version but this one).
Peter Kavinsky. I don't usually hate villains because if they're villains, their job is to be terrible. But Peter... Ohhhh Peter. I hate him in the books so much because everyone talks about him as if he is the best love interest on the face of the planet, but he's actually just garbage. He's so much better in the movie.
Is it Lydia? Yes, yes it was Lydia. I can't freaking stand Lydia Bennet. She's probably worse than Mrs. Bennet. I do love the Lydia character in Bride and Prejudice (the Bollywood version). She's still insufferable, but the actress was great. I so agree about Snape-1000% with everything you said about him. And Dolores Umbridge is awful, but she's definitely a character I love to hate.
Have you seen The Lizzie Bennett Diaries here on UA-cam? It's a modern adaptation of P&P and they make some really cool choices, especially with Lydia. And I totally agree on Snape - he may have done the right thing once but for totally the wrong reason (only wanting Lily to be saved out of the whole family) and I'm so tired of people trying to defend him bullying his students. Interesting and complex characters don't have to be good people, for sure, but I think Snape fans missed the memo there
I agree with all your choices. I'm currently halfway through The Secret History and have a new most hated book character - Bunny Corcoran. No redeeming qualities at all. Even typing his name annoys me.
I watched the movie It and I thought about maybe reading the book this year but HELL NO. Putting animals in a fridge and letting them freeze/starve to death for sexual pleasure? That was not in the movie and I’m not about to read about that 😷
Agreed about Umbridge. The whole "always" thing with Snape, ugh vomit. He was a bad person. Because he loved ONE person does not redeem him torturing children. My current most hated is Keris Veturius from An Ember in the Ashes. That bitch...damn, she is pure evil.
YAAAAASH finally somebody speaking the truth about Severus Snape. Plus this maybe an impopular opinion, but what he felt for Lily wasn't love, it was obsseion. He was obssesed with a death woman for more than 18 years, a woman with whom he didn't have any kind of relationship further than friendship.....If a guy like snape was so obssesed with a girl noadays in the real life he will be consider creapy and an stalker. I cannot believe how many people had tattoed the word "Always" without considering how creapy and stalker he was. Finally he dis not help dumbeldor or the orden of the phoenix because he reconsider his thoight about "mudblods", no, he did it just because they choose Lily as a target. And it is quite clear through most of the books that he did not change his mind about "mudblods", that he was with the other team just as a form of revenge. It would be like if everybodyy starts to consider novel a nazi, that clearly still thinks that Judes are inferior, but just because he work as a spy for the Alies to revenge of his not corresponded love....
Yeah it felt more like he was a "nice guy" obsessed with her. I think too many people only watched the movies and romanticized the "always" because they would love to be loved forever but... dude that's creepy lol
Completely get you with Dolores Umbridge and Joffrey! For the latest: I went to a Game of Thrones night (OCS was showing the one emblematic episod for every season!) and, for season 4, it was Joffrey's death. When he died, everyone clapped loudly in the room!! I just humiliated Tyrion (one of my favs, if not the one!) and we were so fed up with him once more!! For Snape, I never know how to feel about him. I can't forgive him, but I can't entirely blame him at the same time. He is the most complex character of the series (with Dumbledore) for me, but not my favorite at all!
Dayummmm shots fired against the Snape fandom! You might have lost some fans girl but not I. Thank you for saying that! I never understood the Snape fandom, he was a jerk! And just because he was bullied as a youth does not condone him being a jerk adult to kids. THANK YOU! Love from Texas ❤️
I actually love the villains when they are well written. I hate the annoying one way more. Except for Umbridge, she’s a villain and annoying AF. I hated Maxon from the selection (I’ve read it in French so I don’t know if his name is the same), he doesn’t appeal to me for a male lead at all. I also hated twilight because of Bella. I only read/watched the 1st and couldn’t stand her so I’ve stop right there.
Favourite characters: The Raven boys - Adam, Noah, Rowan, Gansey. Green Mantle. Least favourite: Henry from Raven boys and all the characters in Shiver. And Celina from Throne of Glass.And Harlow from Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries series on UA-cam gives Lydia a really interesting character arc in my opinion. They definitely make her less flat than the original version.
Snape is my favorite character, but not because I think he’s some kind of saint. He’s just a very interesting character to me, which makes him my favorite. I’m usually drawn towards rude or evil, because they usually have a very interesting back story. (i dont think snape is necessarily evil though, more mean than evil)
Gavin Guile from the Lightbringer series purely because he annoys me. It feels like he is written so that everyome will worship at his feet but I don't feel like he has earned it.
I loved sleeping beauties! I totally agree with your opinions,especially on snape. Spoiler alert . . . . . As for It, i think Henry Bowers(was that his name?) was the one character that struck me the most as evil. I mean,Patrick was a plain psychopath, but Henry was just cruel. That one scene where he and his chased Ben while he was leaving from the library and carved,I think it was his name?,in his belly made me so angry. I cried. I hate him so much man I can’t. Also,I just watched the Joffrey scene with the fingers and tongue and he truly was the worst.
I do not mind Lydia in BBC's P&P adaptation. The actress was brilliant and because I know her from other roles I just admired her acting throughout. I cannot stand Jane in that version /eye rolling/.
I agree with you almost all of these (I have not yet read Sleeping Beauties). And I agree with you that villains such as Voldemort and Sauron are somehow very bad but not as bad as the more real life like characters (S. King is a master with those, no surprise that you have picked two of his novels) I agree with you on all points regarding Snape. He is a bully (one of the most common/ordinary type of bully in fact, the one who is bullied when young and turned out to be much worse than his tormentors when given some power). And I too was not impressed by "always". (in the films Alan Rickman -RIP- did a great job so I think some people think more sympathetically of the character because of the actor's performance. I'd like to think that his act of good gave him some leniency in the after life though. There are so many villains that I have trouble choosing a few. I like reading dark novels, mysteries, procedurals, horror so I have a whole bag of evil characters. Of all the Stephen King's novels one of my most remembered villains is Carrie's mom in Carrie. That woman deserves her name in the evil board. I agree with Nurse Ratched and Ramsey Bolton. Ramsey actually may be one of my most hated villain in fantasy genre. And I don't watch the show (yeah I know, but I'm upset about Mr. Martin not releasing the last two novels because of that show makes me unnecessarily against the show and now they are trying to do the same thing to The Name of The Wind, just adopt somethin that is already finished in book form people). Pride and Prejudice is probably my all time favorite novel. I think I have watched all the adaptations (except the one with the zombies, not my thing) and my favorite is still 1995 BBC series.I have no problems with any of the cast, costumes, script etc. And yes, Colin Firth is my most favorite Darcy ever. He is a fave actor of mine but his Darcy is one of those lucky times when the actor and the character click perfectly (the way he looks at Elizabeth when they are at Pemberley near the piano with Georgina, that look tells so much without saying anything, not even moving a single muscle in the face, great performance).
I was so sure you were going to say Celaena 😂 Any way, totally agree on Lydia Bennett and Delores Unbridged and Snape. I might add Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter. And also Trix from the Divergent series (I don't know why, almost every decision she makes doesn't make sense, especially in the last book). And might I add both Heathcliff and Catherine from Wuthering Heights
Just wanted to say that I just started reading the Harry Potter series because of you. Yes, I know it's awful that I'd never read it...but I was afraid that I wouldn't feel it lived up to the hype. I finished the first book and I admit, I was wrong. I can't wait to read the rest. As to Characters I hate... does the Hotel from The Shining count? That was the last Stephan King book I read because it creeped me out so much.
I'm on the fifth Harry Potter and although I'm very late into the game I'm so glad I picked them up now.. I also thought they would not live up to the hype but they really do!
@@MariasJournal__ I just finished book two! I'm reading them with a friend and she's a much slower reader than I am so I'm trying to read things in between, but it's so hard! I want to read the third book NOW! Oh...and I totally get why Emily hates Snape....
Disagree about Snape. 100%! But it’s been a few years since I’ve read the books so I’m a little hazy. But yea, I understand that he was a bully type for a majority of the series & it’s hard to just forget the way he treated everyone. But, first of all I don’t particularly think that the “bullying” was all that bad. Yah he was a dick, & rude, but he was a teacher who taught them things that they needed to know & instead of being some sweet teacher he was just harsh. I personally didn’t think it was all that bad. But as far as everything else, I think what makes Snape so easy to forgive is that at the core he was damaged. He had been treated badly himself as a child, was lonely & bullied & hurt & as a result turned out to be this cold person who was closed off & cold to the world. And when he sees the children of the people who tormented & hurt him it’s understandable that he can’t help but dislike them. It’s not fair, or right, but it IS understandable. And on top of all that it’s just the juxtaposition of Snape and Dumbledore. Dumbledore who was the consistent hero and savior, the one who was trusted beyond all doubt to whom these students are unwaveringly loyal, & then to realize that he is not everything we believed him to be. Of course he HAS to be willing to sacrifice one (Harry) for the good of all, no matter how close his relationship with the one, but that doesn’t change the feeling of betrayal & the utter shock that comes with coming to terms with the reality of Dumbledore. But then on the other end of things there is Snape. Rude, cold, damaged,!seemingly evil Snape who has seemed like nothing but a foil every step of the way...but then as it turns out, despite all his deep hatred for Harry’s father for so many reasons, his love for Lily endured so much so that he was Harry’s most loyal protector, even more so than Dumbie. Yes he was cold, yes he was a bully, but he had a lifetime of being ostracized by those kinds of people, a childhood devoid of friends...most of us can understand how it’s possible to turn into a hater just because you don’t have something yourself. It’s like people tearing down a pretty girl or a rich girl, trying to make themselves feel better by pointing out flaws or criticizing them when the reality is that they are just jealous. Snape didn’t have friends. He was alone, and tormented, and bullied so he lashed out when he saw people who had the things he always wished for. Friendships. Love. He couldn’t help having a grudge against Harry because he was James’ son, and the son of his beloved and another man. But at the end of the day his love for Lily persevered and despite his contradictory feelings he remained loyal to that love by protecting her son at all costs, even when it likely pained him to do so. Snape is flawed. And damaged, but in the end he was one of Harry’s most loyal friends even if it didn’t always look that way. In the end, Dumbledore wasn’t Harry’s protector like we thought he was, and while I understand why it was necessary I still felt disappointed in Dumbledore, & it was Snape who was Harry’s most loyal friend who would’ve been willing to defend him to the death!
I absolutely hated Delilah Bard from A Darker Shade of Magic! I found her so annoying. I don’t understand why everyone said she was a badass. To me, she just kept making very stupid decisions for stupid reasons.
THANK YOU FOR SNAPE. he’s the worst, i don’t understand how people can still proclame him a hero..... also, could you do the same video but for your FAVORITES? i feel like it might be even harder to choose
The way I see Snape is that he didn't want to be this cruel teacher and stuff but that he had to put up this persona of a mean teacher to make voldmort and dumbledore trust him, and I think maybe he was picking on Neville because of the prophecy
I agree with you on Snape and I might even hate him more than Umbridge. He is a very complex character and he is written very well, but he is no hero. I could go for a very long rant, but I won't. I am just going to say, he was a terrible teacher and a big bully who knew what it is like to be bullied.
I go back and forth on Snape - yes, he does things for selfish reasons but so do most people, by and large. at least a part of his behaviour to the students is an act (not all, I won't try claiming that one because that's just a lie). In terms of Neville having Snape as his nightmare...ehhhh a lot of kids have teachers as a nightmare. While what happened to his parents was horrific and tragic, Neville didn't see it, never witnessed it and grew up loved and cared for. yes, he sees the aftermath of what happened to his parents, but he has no other basis of comparison for a 'normal' life because he doesn't remember it, and therefore it might not be something he actively fears even if it saddens and upsets him to see his parents so destroyed, but Snape is right there in 3D surround sound technicolor, something tangible and real to fear. I would have literal nightmares of the nun that was the deputy headmistress of my school, even years after I left school, and that was after a not so awesome childhood. Sr Theresa would probably be my bogart...oh god that's a horrifying thought! Is Snape good? No. Is he necessarily bad? No. that's why he's one of the better characters in the series for me - he's more real, more interesting. Umbridge though - burn her. She deserved a lifetime in Azkaban.
The very mention of Patrick made my stomach turn. (Spoilers for IT movie below) Just to let you know, none of his behavior is in the movie. He is in the movie but just as a Henry minion. He's actually one of the first to die.
Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors ever, but whyyyyy did she have to create Fanny Price in Mansfield Park? She's insufferable, so pretty, perfect, poor but always kind and doing the right thing, and she not even stupid/funny as Lydia (whose idiotic actions are the direct consequence of her mother's hysterical education). Also: Catelyn Stark. At least Joffrey is considered crazy by everyone, Cat is the cause of all evil, and let's not forget that she abused Jon Snow for 15 years, while babying her own children and chastising Arya for wanting to learn how to fight. Awful Cat.
What are book characters you cannot stand? Any favorite villains?
Bellatrix Lestrange! I hatedd that woman! Also Alina from grisha trilogy, America from the selection and katniss from the hunger games. Obviously i don't like female main characters in trilogies😂😂
I was actually surprised you didn't mentioned Celeana from Throne of Glass.
I had decided not to include any "special snowflakes" because I've talked about them so much lately lol
New fun content! 😂
Sleeping Beauties Don Peters is a horrible character.. Disgusting and way to realistic..
Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre is a horrible character and I was so angry that he got a happy ending! He locked up his wife that was mentally unstable and lied about it and had such a bad temper and was also just all around creepy. And as for a great villain, I'd say Magneto from the X-Men comics/movies, because he has such a great reason for doing what he does and you kind of don't even blame him. And the fact that he struggles between good and evil constantly... I think it makes him a really interesting and compelling character!
Umbridge is way worse than Voldemort
OMG I have the same sweater!! ❤️
BeautywithEmilyFox lmaooo you’re so cute
Love you girl
😄😄
😂😂
Hahahahaha j’adore!
Agree on Snape. I understand why fans love him- interesting character, tragic love story etc. But what I do not get is Harry's point of view. How this one revelation at the end could change the whole history they had, in a heartbeat? You cannot just wipe it away. And then Harry named one of his children after him? I just found it very bizzare.
The name thing was so ANNOYING!!
I particular remember that scene when Hermione’s teeth got longer and she was devastated as she had always been insecure about them. And then when Snape was asked to punish the student who did this to her he answered something like: I do not see any difference. It takes a special kind of jerk to say that.
Natalia Weronika Petersson I think it is because he is like a Christ figure, so the ultimate ability to forgive is a must. I am not sure I have that ability.
I also have very strong opinions on Snape. I love his character for the troubled, layered character he is, but as a person I can't stand him and I did. not. buy his supposedly redemption arch. He was a jerk at any given chance, to KIDS, while being in a position of power himself, and then we're supposed to be on board with him being a good guy because he was in love with Lily and was sorry about what he did? If he felt so bad, why did he mistreat Harry and his friends as much as he did? Yeah. No, thanks. I'd be OK with Harry forgiving him at some point, but to go and name his child after him? NO.
I both agree and disagree. Snape is no doubt a rude character, BUT he’s not evil and thats the key. The reason he’s not evil, is because at the end when he’s dying he shows Harry WHY he acted the way he did. It’s basically an apology. If he really was as evil as he comes off as, he wouldn’t have showed Harry his past. Harry being a good person, understood Snape’s story and named his kid after him, because he loved his mother.
Ramsay Bolton in game of thrones
I never got to him in the books so I "couldn't" put him in here 😂
Colin Firth is the best Mr. Darcy. Guys, don’t even try to argue.
Juliette T. Without a doubt. Nobody else comes even close
Yeah, Snape helping protect Harry doesn't excuse him bullying children. I heard a theory that he was probably mean to Neville because Neville and Harry's birthdays are a day apart and Neville's family could have been the one for the Prophecy. And Snape is angry that Lily was targeted and not Neville. In a way that's kind of worse because Neville was also just a baby when it happened and had no control over it. Also, Snape was more obsessed with Lily than in love with her. Had Lily not been the target, Snape would have remained a Death Eater.
I read an interesting theory that part of the reason Neville’s afraid of Snape could be that he’s aware of Snape having been a Death Eater. Since there were always rumors about Snape being affiliated with Voldemort, Neville knowing full well what happened to his parents could have been extra afraid of a teacher who was cruel to him if he had heard those rumors. Idk, just an idea I had never thought of that put a slightly different light on the boggart scene for me.
Snape was not obsessed. They were friends. They knew each other well. Far better than Potter when he got interested in Lily. So don't say he was a stalker.
@@fenelona Maybe not a stalker, but he was still obsessed with her. He acted that she owed him her love because they were friends. But when the dark arts became more important to him than her feelings, she had to cut him out of her life, but he still expected her to love him.
Then he went on to bully her son because he looked like his dad.
draco👏🏽deserved👏🏽a👏🏽redemption👏🏽arc👏🏽not👏🏽snape👏🏽
draco's redemption arc - if you can even call it that cos it was so half arsed. can you imagine how much better the character arc of the kid who was groomed in an extremely toxic environment would had been? for jk rowling to provide time the decent page time to have him see the error of his parents' way and adapt his own views? but nah we were given one with the adult who voluntarily joined a racist cult.
i'm just saying 🙃
Honestly Tom Felton is the reason I cared so much about Draco, he played him so well! He did kinda redeemed himself a bit but I would totally be okay with more!
After rereading Harry Potter for a millionth time, I realised that the Harry Potter Generation is kinda a repeat of the Marauders Generation. Harry is Sirius (abusive Household, still very famous lastname, seeks comfort in his friends etc.), but Harry can make peace with Draco, what Sirius Never did. with Snape. Ron is James, Hermione is Lupin/Lily. Neville is Peter, but he chooses to fight instead of betray his Friends. Luna is Snape (the outsider, always bullied etc), but she chooses light over Darknesss. And Draco is Regulus Black. While Regulus actually gets a redemption arc, Draco can never find the courage to do the same…
I think that most of these characters you mentioned are technically great characters but also not meant to be likeable.
I personally more hate characters who are meant to be likeable or the readers should root for but only makes me mad like Lila Bard, Celaena Sardothien, Alina Starkov, Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbrier, and many more.
I thought that's where she'd go. When I saw the title I thought "Yesss I hope she rants about Lila Bard!", cause a mad Emily is even more fun, ah ah.
Exactly I was 100% sure she would talk about Lila Bard !
Lydia Bennet is annoying but so is Mr. Collins. The actor in the '95 BBC adaptation made him 100 times more insufferable
To be honest I love how awful he is so I'm okay with it (yes '95 is the best!!) 😂
I thought you were going to say Celaena from Throne of glass lol
Agree 100% Lydia Bennet is the worst!
I think we've all known someone just as smug and it just gets to us ever more 😂
I hated Mr. Collins even more!! 😂
@@bint.muhammad He was terrible too!
I don’t hate these characters. I Despise them.
Amir- The Kite Runner, William- The Pillars of the Earth (I’ve never encountered a villain as vile as Him. Excluding Ramsay), Starling- The Realm of the Ealderlings series, Denna- The Name of the Wind, Fumero- The Shadow of the Wind and Every. Single. SJM character.
Ohh Dena arggggg
She is the reason i am not really interested in continuing the series
Ooooomg Amir still haunts me 😭
Most hated characters EVER: Feyre and Rhysand from ACOTAR... bah just bah... i think this is an unpopular opinion but so it is 😅😂
Snape was a huge Bully!! Uhhg he get's under my skin. He took everything chance he had to be a stupid git at the children in Hogwarts. Everything good he did was to ease his guilt mind af
Umbridge, Feyre from ACOTAR.
Same!
I don't *hate* Feyre, but I can't stand her. She could fall off from a cliff for all I care 🤷🏽♀️
When it comes to Jane Austen the Eltons from 'Emma' are absolutely the worst.
Looking at more recent reads: REGAL from the Farseer Trilogy! I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands.
Also, Feyre from ACOTAR is insufferable.
ryzenable seconding the Eltons! so annoying.
Lmao I put the Royal Assassin on hold because of Regal, I just want to kill myself
agreed with your point about Emma! Mrs. Elton frustrated me to no end!
Patrick is barely in the IT movie, they removed a loooot of disturbing scenes. You should be fine
I really hate umbridge, Feyre, Rhysand or literally any sjm character (except Manon), Mal from grisha trilogy, Zara Dearborn from the dark artifices, Serai from strange the dreamer, Lucia from fallen kingdoms, Dumbledore, leah Burke from simon vs universe, Achilles from the song of Achilles, lila bard, Jude Duartes twin sister whose name I forgot (Taryn?), Denna from kingkiller chronicles, Henry from the raven cycle, anybody from twilight with the exception of Seth and Bree Tanner, Kip and everybody else from light bringer, kelsey or whatever the main characters name is from the queen of the tearling, Shirin from a very large expanse of sea, Arwen from lotr, & probably soooooo many more
Emma L. How can you hate Achilles???? My childdddddd
@@fatmahsabbagh9991 somehow he really annoyed me and I found him a self centred prick😂 still absolutely loved the book though.
@SuckMy Pickle I was like omg how did and could I forgot Dumbledore for a second. Even as a child I never liked him & probably never will. But yaaaay more Dumbledore dislike
I completely agree with you about Snape. I feel like that scene with Neville and the bogart is so telling. I hated him even more than umbridge.
Lydia from P&P can CHOKE, same with Amy from Little Women.😒
I thought you were going to mention Celaena for sure 😂 Totally agree about Umbridge, she is literally the worst. I also hate Hilly Holbrook from The Help because she's such a racist and just so awful. Really not a fan of Mal from the Grisha trilogy. Also Edward Cullen, I can't stand him.
I was trying not to include special snowflakes since I've mentioned them so much already :P
My favorite characters in HP are the likes of Snape, Dumbledore (despite all of Jo’s unnecessary comments), and the Malfoys as a family. I think I found them most interesting because they’re nuanced and their uncanny ability to adapt. It seems clear that Jo wanted Snape to be the extremely jaded character turned bully that we’ve all encountered. And she wrote those parts so well. What the fandom does to his character, romanticizing him and Lily is probably an unintended consequence. I don’t think Jo ever intended for the reader to overlook his bullying ways. At the end of the day, I think Snape is her best written and developed character. The life of a double agent isn’t easy, but I don’t think we’re supposed to condone his behavior as a teacher either. I can only imagine the complex web of lies he lived in order to maintain his double-life for so long.
Of course, Jo killed her theme of forgiveness by trivializing it in the epilogue. So what can I say besides she should have burned that epilogue and just ended on the last chapter.
I get why the Weasleys, Sirius Black, Dobby, etc are such popular characters. But I’ve always found them to be quite two dimensional. In fact, Luna who appears way later than everyone else has more dimensions than the Weasleys as a whole.
Daisy from the great Gatsby drives me craazy.
KimWicksC she is THE WORST.
Yeah I dislike when people view her sympathetically because it's clear that she didn't care.
Erika I don’t see how people can sympathize with her at all. She was weak, vapid, and had no redeeming qualities! I don’t even get why Gatsby loved her so much!
(spoiler) She is superficial and only dated Gatsby because of the luxury of his money. For me she made that pretty clear when she didn't even care to call, when he died. Didn't even show at his funeral.
KimWicksC yah for sure that was definitely the worst part. Weak, selfish, superficial bi**h!
I honestly dislike Sansa so much more than Joeffrey. Joeffrey was the villain, he was meant to be disliked. Sansa is the person who really caused the death of her father by going to Cersei when they were going to leave because she couldn't be taken from "her brave prince". This is after her lie about Arya when Joeffrey was going to kill the butcher's son on the trip down and then was only upset that her wolf was killed in the incident. Throughout she thinks only of her fairy tales and not of any consequence. This is even more evident in the books where she is now in the Eyrie, having seen her aunt thrown to her death by Little Finger she doesn't think twice as Little Finger plots to wed her to Lord Robert's heir even though for her to gain power it means that Little Finger will have to get rid of Lord Robert.
I'm the only person who doesn't hate Joffrey lol. He was the best villain besides Ramsay and GoT wouldn't be GoT without him
Umbridge is the worst, I don't hate Snape but I am annoyed at how people forgive him for what he did so easily. Characters I hate-Aelin, whose nothing but a tyrant who gets too much praise who also made Rowan who was pretty cool into a lifeless robot dedicated to her. Cleo from Falling Kingdoms and Vin from Final Empire for just being protagonists I can't personally stand. Mae from The Circle, for just turning into a horrible person. I would have said Lara Jean but in the movie I actually liked her.
Thank you! I agree with your opinion on Servous Snape. He’s a complex character but is no where being a morally good character.
Snape doesn't seem that horrible in the movies, so I used to like him. But now that I'm re-reading the books I can't help but hate him. The way he bullies Neville all the time is horrible!
I feel the same way! In movies he doesn't seem so bad but in books it's very different. I too used to love him based on his character in movies but now I'm reading the book, he's a terrible person
The husband and wife in Gone Girl. I dislike them both so much that I’m not even looking up their names. 😡
Jaia Hay Amy is pretty bad and so is Diondra from Dark Places.
About Snape... Rowling completely ripped him off Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. If you haven't read it (or if you have) just picture Heathcliff and Katherine like if they were Severus and Lily. She completely ripped them off to tell that story, IMHO in a bad way, because Emily Brönte doesn't want to redeem them (Katherine is a bad person too) she just pictures them as they are. Rowling tried to redeem him in the last five minutes of her narrative and did a terrible job, ruining his character. Heathcliff and Severus are the classic archetypal tortured character whose jealousy, rage, anger and all the bad emotions of the sort that you can think about destroy them and everybody around them, and they are meant to stay that way. Then again, there are characters like Jaime Lannister (don't get me wrong, I really like him) whose fuckwad levels are never reached by Snape, and yet, he got an amazingly written redemption ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I completely agree with Snape. Never liked him and never will. You can’t be redeemed for being a complete a** just because you were rejected in school.
I absolutely despised lexie from Jurassic Park (the book), I just wanted her to get eaten! I didn't like feyre from ACOTAR either and The Mountain was horrible in Game of Thrones! I hated joffrey but I also loved hating him too and missed him when he died, the mountain was just someone I wanted to see destroyed!
Assef from the Kite Runner is one of the most terrible characters I've ever read about... anyone who's read the book knows.
Also would love to hear about your thoughts on the actors who played the Pride and Prejudice characters! The Kiera Knightly version is my favourite.
burganza bollywood I HATED Amir. I hated him so much I almost couldn’t finish the book. Oh my goodness, all the hell Hasan goes through because of his so called “friend” Amir is just... ugh! One of the most selfish characters I had the great displeasure of encountering.
@@BridgeFour05 I had such mixed feelings about Amir, mostly when he was a child, but tried to see past it because he really tried to redeem himself at the end. But I absolutely hated how he acted with Hassan as kids 😒 Hassan is literally the sweetest soul
The minute you held up Pride & Prejudice I knew you were going to discuss Lydia, she's awful, she's so selfish and self-centered and immature. Totally agree that's there is little to empathize with her about, she's dreadful.
I had exactly the same reaction when I saw Emily holdind P&P, it has to be Lydia! I can't stand her. I also agree with Umbrige and Jeffrey.
Seriously! I love to hate Mr Collins but it's all in good fun but Lydia... no lol
Celeana or what ever from Throne of glass is horrible too. Favorite villian... I guess I don't know if they're *true* villian but Victor Vale from Vicious. And I love Kaz from Six of Crows. He's not a good guy but he's not evil either...
I totally agree about Snape. Most of what he did was selfish and that one good thing doesn’t change him at all!!
he did a lot more than one good thing, but to each their own. he certainly wasn't 'good' even though some of what he did was an act, but I always found him more interesting a character for it. Most people are selfish, we do things for selfish reasons. we all like to think we know how we'd act in XYZ situation when psychological studies have shown time and again that actually we've no idea/would do the opposite. he felt more real to me than a lot of the characters that were just coded 'good' or 'bad' and therefore felt more flat and unreal.
I've been hating him more and more because of all the people loving him simply based one the "always".
Tbh it makes me uncomfortable to see how so many romanticize his character just because he loved someone even after "all these years" :/
@@BookswithEmilyFox I do that, start to really hate something because of how others defend it. or love it. I find the 'Always' kinda creepy - he didn't really love her per se, he'd kinda just romanticised her over the years. I found Lily suddenly loving James ridiculous (james was a complete douche and a bully) after he did basically nothing to change so I can see why Snape would be pissed, but yeah, he put her on a pedastal and its sad but doesn't make up for stuff he did. I care more about him trying to protect the students in the 7th year, what he did to protect dumbledore (who I also don't like much) and what he did to try and stop Moldy Voldy rising again. the Always is a nothing to me
@@caseyc2497 I don't think we ever truly know Lily. She was romanticized by pretty much everyone, even Voldemort and Petunia who loathed her.
The worst for me is Snape and no "always" can fix that. He just plain abusive to the KIDS, he's mean and he was just "taking care" of Harry because he felt guilty. And even when he was at fault for the death of his parents, Snape still treated him like trash and saw in Harry what he wanted to see. Like I hate that people forget that scene on the Half Blood Prince where he makes him rewrite punishments and gives him Sirius and James' files making a horrible comment when Harry was still grieving for Sirius. Oh my god, I just hate him.
Live watching: Oooh if she says Mr. Darcy I'm unsubscribing!
Phew! Okay, I'm still subscribed. 😂 I think Lydia was supposed to be a stereotype from books of the time. I'm listening to the audible audiobook and loving it all over again. It's the best!
I'm so sad this video is over already. I just really watched this with a big smile and had all the same feelings about these awfull characters! Keep doing these things 👍 I laugh out loud with your vids
I agree with this entire list 😂 I would LOVE to see another most hated characters list but with no villains on it (for example more characters like Lydia)...
The way you described umbridge sounds exactly like Snape, and Snape is forgiven easily!!!!! Which is so weird omg akakakskthem both but man lmao
I just did Pride and Prejudice in University and I agree, Lydia is a very silly girl. She doesn't even realise what she's done to her family or what Wickham is truly like. I wanted someone to yell at her already, make her realise her mistakes!
I don’t hate Hagrid, I just think he’s overrated. Pls don’t kill me.
Emily bring back the vid you posted then took down! I was so excited to watch it!
It wasn’t supposed to go up until Sunday lol it’s going up in a few hours!
You don't get to be a good person by performing as a Deatheater in your free time. It would be unrealistic if the past didn't tell on Snape. It was a mistake to let him teach kids, but it was Dambldore's mistake. He wanted to keep Snape at hand.
That animal scene from IT isn't in the newer movie, so if that's what's preventing you from watching it, you're all good! It's not in there!
Katertot8895 yeah there’s virtually nothing with Patrick in the new movie so you’re all good!
Also filtch and Rita seeker (skeeter??) from the HP series!!
I'm kinda sad for Filch... in the books they explain why he's like that so I pity him.
Rita... yeah she's bad :/
Definitely agree with you on the Snape thing!
Yes! Finally someone feels the same way about Snape as I do. He is not a good person and one good thing and a sad back story doesn't make everything he's done okay.
umbridge being dragged away by the centaurs and joffrey dying are some of the most satisfying scenes i've read tbh
Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy. The end.
No doubt!
didn't colin firth shove a gerbal up his ass? unless that was someone else.... no wait, was that who played opposite julia roberts in pretty woman?
How do you delete someone's else comment?!
But seriously what!? lol
twas, in fact, richard gere i was thinking of! also, that whole gerbal thing seems to be an urban legend lmao my bad 💀
oooh girl you need to watch the lizzie bennet diaries on youtube and then tell me you don't like lydia!!
but dickham - ahem, wickham - is in my top 5 least favorite characters of all time
Finally someone who don't like Snape!! Yes! Totally agree also for that douchebag from Sleeping Beaties. I thought that maybe you would talk about Lila Bard (I was wrong).
I tried not to include all the special snowflakes so it would be different content lol
Lila was annoying in the last book for sure!
Holden from Catcher in the Rye lol miss me with that
ALSO SNAPE
THANK YOU. HE'S HORRIBLE.
Meleeneh Hairapetian I hated Catcher in the Rye so much. 🙌🏻
Mal from the Grisha Trilogy. I thought he was so annoying. Also all the characters from Salem’s Lot by Stephen King. Everyone is just dumb
I hated the forced love triangle! I love Nikolai so it was painful to read lol
Oh my so true! They couldn't stop doing dumb stuff 😂
OMG yes! I absolutely agree with you about Snape. He acted to awful towards his pupils, I mean, he was Neville's boggat for crying out loud. He was *a child's* biggest fear!
Emily, you should totally check out The Lizzie Bennet diaries here on youtube!! It's a modern version of P&P in a vlog format, and Lydia's character is SO MUCH better. She grows out of her mistakes and you end up liking her a lot! Hank Green wrote it and produced it i think, and damn, it's short, fun and overall really good
Bethany's husband in IT was pretty horrible too. I agree with you about Joffrey 100%
The thought of Lila Bard still makes my blood boil.
God! She's one of the worst heroines! I'd take Bella Swan over her.
Naw Bella is the worst lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox Bella is stale white bread and has no personality so I don't see her as a person or even a proper character. Lila still has personality but she's just awful.
We have the same reasons but different conclusions haha
@@BookswithEmilyFox Yeah. I think for me it's because I could make fun of Bella while my issues with Lila are something I would never joke about.
Lydia Bennet from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries version is the most likable Lydia of all time. The only version that I actually care about the character
I don’t know if you’ve watched the web series ‘the Lizzie Bennet Diaries’ but you should check it out for just another (amazing) pride and prejudice version. And an actually likeable Lydia (I hate her in every version but this one).
Peter Kavinsky. I don't usually hate villains because if they're villains, their job is to be terrible. But Peter... Ohhhh Peter. I hate him in the books so much because everyone talks about him as if he is the best love interest on the face of the planet,
but he's actually just garbage. He's so much better in the movie.
So true! They made him more likeable in the movie for sure!
Is it Lydia?
Yes, yes it was Lydia. I can't freaking stand Lydia Bennet. She's probably worse than Mrs. Bennet. I do love the Lydia character in Bride and Prejudice (the Bollywood version). She's still insufferable, but the actress was great.
I so agree about Snape-1000% with everything you said about him. And Dolores Umbridge is awful, but she's definitely a character I love to hate.
I agree, the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is the best!!!
Have you seen The Lizzie Bennett Diaries here on UA-cam? It's a modern adaptation of P&P and they make some really cool choices, especially with Lydia. And I totally agree on Snape - he may have done the right thing once but for totally the wrong reason (only wanting Lily to be saved out of the whole family) and I'm so tired of people trying to defend him bullying his students. Interesting and complex characters don't have to be good people, for sure, but I think Snape fans missed the memo there
Lydia is there to show how chivalrous D'Arcy is and how wrong Elizabeth was about him.
Oh she's definitely there for a reason but I can't stand watching her scenes anymore lol
I read Harry Potter the first time in 5th grade and Umbridge reminded me of a teacher that harassed and bullied me.
I agree with all your choices. I'm currently halfway through The Secret History and have a new most hated book character - Bunny Corcoran. No redeeming qualities at all. Even typing his name annoys me.
I watched the movie It and I thought about maybe reading the book this year but HELL NO. Putting animals in a fridge and letting them freeze/starve to death for sexual pleasure? That was not in the movie and I’m not about to read about that 😷
The ending "scene" is way worse lol
Agreed about Umbridge.
The whole "always" thing with Snape, ugh vomit. He was a bad person. Because he loved ONE person does not redeem him torturing children.
My current most hated is Keris Veturius from An Ember in the Ashes. That bitch...damn, she is pure evil.
YAAAAASH finally somebody speaking the truth about Severus Snape. Plus this maybe an impopular opinion, but what he felt for Lily wasn't love, it was obsseion. He was obssesed with a death woman for more than 18 years, a woman with whom he didn't have any kind of relationship further than friendship.....If a guy like snape was so obssesed with a girl noadays in the real life he will be consider creapy and an stalker. I cannot believe how many people had tattoed the word "Always" without considering how creapy and stalker he was. Finally he dis not help dumbeldor or the orden of the phoenix because he reconsider his thoight about "mudblods", no, he did it just because they choose Lily as a target. And it is quite clear through most of the books that he did not change his mind about "mudblods", that he was with the other team just as a form of revenge. It would be like if everybodyy starts to consider novel a nazi, that clearly still thinks that Judes are inferior, but just because he work as a spy for the Alies to revenge of his not corresponded love....
Yeah it felt more like he was a "nice guy" obsessed with her.
I think too many people only watched the movies and romanticized the "always" because they would love to be loved forever but... dude that's creepy lol
Completely get you with Dolores Umbridge and Joffrey! For the latest: I went to a Game of Thrones night (OCS was showing the one emblematic episod for every season!) and, for season 4, it was Joffrey's death. When he died, everyone clapped loudly in the room!! I just humiliated Tyrion (one of my favs, if not the one!) and we were so fed up with him once more!!
For Snape, I never know how to feel about him. I can't forgive him, but I can't entirely blame him at the same time. He is the most complex character of the series (with Dumbledore) for me, but not my favorite at all!
Me, not having read any of the books mentioned except from harry potter, watching the entire video
:') oke
I didn't read most of the books either, but I knew exactly what she's talking about when she talked about Joffrey because I watched the show
Dayummmm shots fired against the Snape fandom! You might have lost some fans girl but not I. Thank you for saying that! I never understood the Snape fandom, he was a jerk! And just because he was bullied as a youth does not condone him being a jerk adult to kids. THANK YOU! Love from Texas ❤️
People are too quick to forgive everything just because he was in love...
but really just obsessed with someone forever :/
I actually love the villains when they are well written. I hate the annoying one way more. Except for Umbridge, she’s a villain and annoying AF. I hated Maxon from the selection (I’ve read it in French so I don’t know if his name is the same), he doesn’t appeal to me for a male lead at all. I also hated twilight because of Bella. I only read/watched the 1st and couldn’t stand her so I’ve stop right there.
Favourite characters: The Raven boys - Adam, Noah, Rowan, Gansey. Green Mantle.
Least favourite: Henry from Raven boys and all the characters in Shiver. And Celina from Throne of Glass.And Harlow from Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
“He is such a HMMM LALALALALALA” me describing my most hated characters LOL
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries series on UA-cam gives Lydia a really interesting character arc in my opinion. They definitely make her less flat than the original version.
Snape is my favorite character, but not because I think he’s some kind of saint. He’s just a very interesting character to me, which makes him my favorite. I’m usually drawn towards rude or evil, because they usually have a very interesting back story. (i dont think snape is necessarily evil though, more mean than evil)
Gavin Guile from the Lightbringer series purely because he annoys me. It feels like he is written so that everyome will worship at his feet but I don't feel like he has earned it.
I think he's supposed to be annoying. It doesn't make it any better, but I'm pretty sure we're supposed to dislike him. Right? The series confuses me.
Thank god, I thought I was the only one, I hated him so much that I couldn’t get my self to read the book.
Honesty? Most male love interests. Jace (Mortal Instruments), Four (Divergent), Ky (I think that’s his name? He’s from Matched), etc. are terrible.
I loved sleeping beauties! I totally agree with your opinions,especially on snape. Spoiler alert

As for It, i think Henry Bowers(was that his name?) was the one character that struck me the most as evil. I mean,Patrick was a plain psychopath, but Henry was just cruel. That one scene where he and his chased Ben while he was leaving from the library and carved,I think it was his name?,in his belly made me so angry. I cried. I hate him so much man I can’t.
Also,I just watched the Joffrey scene with the fingers and tongue and he truly was the worst.
I do not mind Lydia in BBC's P&P adaptation. The actress was brilliant and because I know her from other roles I just admired her acting throughout. I cannot stand Jane in that version /eye rolling/.
I just can't unsee Jane's resemblance to Alan Tudyk in that adaptation
@@roserobb It is uncanny >.
@@roserobb Well now I can't either. 😂
I agree with you almost all of these (I have not yet read Sleeping Beauties). And I agree with you that villains such as Voldemort and Sauron are somehow very bad but not as bad as the more real life like characters (S. King is a master with those, no surprise that you have picked two of his novels)
I agree with you on all points regarding Snape. He is a bully (one of the most common/ordinary type of bully in fact, the one who is bullied when young and turned out to be much worse than his tormentors when given some power). And I too was not impressed by "always". (in the films Alan Rickman -RIP- did a great job so I think some people think more sympathetically of the character because of the actor's performance. I'd like to think that his act of good gave him some leniency in the after life though.
There are so many villains that I have trouble choosing a few. I like reading dark novels, mysteries, procedurals, horror so I have a whole bag of evil characters. Of all the Stephen King's novels one of my most remembered villains is Carrie's mom in Carrie. That woman deserves her name in the evil board.
I agree with Nurse Ratched and Ramsey Bolton. Ramsey actually may be one of my most hated villain in fantasy genre. And I don't watch the show (yeah I know, but I'm upset about Mr. Martin not releasing the last two novels because of that show makes me unnecessarily against the show and now they are trying to do the same thing to The Name of The Wind, just adopt somethin that is already finished in book form people).
Pride and Prejudice is probably my all time favorite novel. I think I have watched all the adaptations (except the one with the zombies, not my thing) and my favorite is still 1995 BBC series.I have no problems with any of the cast, costumes, script etc. And yes, Colin Firth is my most favorite Darcy ever. He is a fave actor of mine but his Darcy is one of those lucky times when the actor and the character click perfectly (the way he looks at Elizabeth when they are at Pemberley near the piano with Georgina, that look tells so much without saying anything, not even moving a single muscle in the face, great performance).
Holden Caufield from Catcher in the Rye. UGH!
I was so sure you were going to say Celaena 😂 Any way, totally agree on Lydia Bennett and Delores Unbridged and Snape. I might add Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter. And also Trix from the Divergent series (I don't know why, almost every decision she makes doesn't make sense, especially in the last book). And might I add both Heathcliff and Catherine from Wuthering Heights
Just wanted to say that I just started reading the Harry Potter series because of you. Yes, I know it's awful that I'd never read it...but I was afraid that I wouldn't feel it lived up to the hype. I finished the first book and I admit, I was wrong. I can't wait to read the rest. As to Characters I hate... does the Hotel from The Shining count? That was the last Stephan King book I read because it creeped me out so much.
Oh you're in for a treat since they get better and better!!
I'm on the fifth Harry Potter and although I'm very late into the game I'm so glad I picked them up now.. I also thought they would not live up to the hype but they really do!
@@MariasJournal__ I just finished book two! I'm reading them with a friend and she's a much slower reader than I am so I'm trying to read things in between, but it's so hard! I want to read the third book NOW! Oh...and I totally get why Emily hates Snape....
@@SewFun You will love the next books even more! :)
Disagree about Snape. 100%! But it’s been a few years since I’ve read the books so I’m a little hazy. But yea, I understand that he was a bully type for a majority of the series & it’s hard to just forget the way he treated everyone. But, first of all I don’t particularly think that the “bullying” was all that bad. Yah he was a dick, & rude, but he was a teacher who taught them things that they needed to know & instead of being some sweet teacher he was just harsh. I personally didn’t think it was all that bad. But as far as everything else, I think what makes Snape so easy to forgive is that at the core he was damaged. He had been treated badly himself as a child, was lonely & bullied & hurt & as a result turned out to be this cold person who was closed off & cold to the world. And when he sees the children of the people who tormented & hurt him it’s understandable that he can’t help but dislike them. It’s not fair, or right, but it IS understandable. And on top of all that it’s just the juxtaposition of Snape and Dumbledore. Dumbledore who was the consistent hero and savior, the one who was trusted beyond all doubt to whom these students are unwaveringly loyal, & then to realize that he is not everything we believed him to be. Of course he HAS to be willing to sacrifice one (Harry) for the good of all, no matter how close his relationship with the one, but that doesn’t change the feeling of betrayal & the utter shock that comes with coming to terms with the reality of Dumbledore. But then on the other end of things there is Snape. Rude, cold, damaged,!seemingly evil Snape who has seemed like nothing but a foil every step of the way...but then as it turns out, despite all his deep hatred for Harry’s father for so many reasons, his love for Lily endured so much so that he was Harry’s most loyal protector, even more so than Dumbie. Yes he was cold, yes he was a bully, but he had a lifetime of being ostracized by those kinds of people, a childhood devoid of friends...most of us can understand how it’s possible to turn into a hater just because you don’t have something yourself. It’s like people tearing down a pretty girl or a rich girl, trying to make themselves feel better by pointing out flaws or criticizing them when the reality is that they are just jealous. Snape didn’t have friends. He was alone, and tormented, and bullied so he lashed out when he saw people who had the things he always wished for. Friendships. Love. He couldn’t help having a grudge against Harry because he was James’ son, and the son of his beloved and another man. But at the end of the day his love for Lily persevered and despite his contradictory feelings he remained loyal to that love by protecting her son at all costs, even when it likely pained him to do so. Snape is flawed. And damaged, but in the end he was one of Harry’s most loyal friends even if it didn’t always look that way.
In the end, Dumbledore wasn’t Harry’s protector like we thought he was, and while I understand why it was necessary I still felt disappointed in Dumbledore, & it was Snape who was Harry’s most loyal friend who would’ve been willing to defend him to the death!
I absolutely hated Delilah Bard from A Darker Shade of Magic! I found her so annoying. I don’t understand why everyone said she was a badass. To me, she just kept making very stupid decisions for stupid reasons.
Yass! More Lila Bard hate! She's annoying but I hate how self-centered she is, judgmental and rude to people who are nice to her.
Aeshiryzen Aeschirett exactly!!! I almost didn’t finish the series because of her
THANK YOU FOR SNAPE. he’s the worst, i don’t understand how people can still proclame him a hero..... also, could you do the same video but for your FAVORITES? i feel like it might be even harder to choose
I'm preparing my list and I feel like I'm forgetting some so I'm waiting to see if there are more... I know I'll forget so many tho lol
Sooooo agree. With all of them. Specially Snape. HATE him. (all the others too, but he is the most controversial one)
The way I see Snape is that he didn't want to be this cruel teacher and stuff but that he had to put up this persona of a mean teacher to make voldmort and dumbledore trust him, and I think maybe he was picking on Neville because of the prophecy
I agree with you on Snape and I might even hate him more than Umbridge. He is a very complex character and he is written very well, but he is no hero. I could go for a very long rant, but I won't. I am just going to say, he was a terrible teacher and a big bully who knew what it is like to be bullied.
I go back and forth on Snape - yes, he does things for selfish reasons but so do most people, by and large. at least a part of his behaviour to the students is an act (not all, I won't try claiming that one because that's just a lie). In terms of Neville having Snape as his nightmare...ehhhh a lot of kids have teachers as a nightmare. While what happened to his parents was horrific and tragic, Neville didn't see it, never witnessed it and grew up loved and cared for. yes, he sees the aftermath of what happened to his parents, but he has no other basis of comparison for a 'normal' life because he doesn't remember it, and therefore it might not be something he actively fears even if it saddens and upsets him to see his parents so destroyed, but Snape is right there in 3D surround sound technicolor, something tangible and real to fear. I would have literal nightmares of the nun that was the deputy headmistress of my school, even years after I left school, and that was after a not so awesome childhood. Sr Theresa would probably be my bogart...oh god that's a horrifying thought!
Is Snape good? No. Is he necessarily bad? No. that's why he's one of the better characters in the series for me - he's more real, more interesting.
Umbridge though - burn her. She deserved a lifetime in Azkaban.
I think I resent Snape more because everyone is defending him just saying the whole "always" and I can't deal lol
The very mention of Patrick made my stomach turn.
(Spoilers for IT movie below)
Just to let you know, none of his behavior is in the movie. He is in the movie but just as a Henry minion. He's actually one of the first to die.
Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors ever, but whyyyyy did she have to create Fanny Price in Mansfield Park? She's insufferable, so pretty, perfect, poor but always kind and doing the right thing, and she not even stupid/funny as Lydia (whose idiotic actions are the direct consequence of her mother's hysterical education).
Also: Catelyn Stark. At least Joffrey is considered crazy by everyone, Cat is the cause of all evil, and let's not forget that she abused Jon Snow for 15 years, while babying her own children and chastising Arya for wanting to learn how to fight. Awful Cat.
THANK YOU I HATE SNAPE. I don’t understand why everyone glorifies him. He’s absolutely terrible.
you didn't mention Celaena Sardothien from throne of glass i was a little surprised
@Y Daboi oh I see I haven't read the book I just remember when when she was reading throne of glass and said how much she hates her 😂
I literally have watched every P and P adaptation and retelling, they’re my favourite but yeah Lydia’s always been the worst
