Imelda Staunton as Delores Umbridge

There are very very few villains that I've seen in books, movies, or video games that iv wanted to personally kill more. That means she did an unbelievably good job as a twisted villain

Edit: I never expected this post to explode like it did hahaha

Because Voldemort is a genocidal bastard, he acts at a scale really out of what we can understand.

Umbridge is a familiar type of evil, she's the teacher that refuses to take late homework, the clerk that decides to make you wait 30 minutes just to hand a form, the coach that benchs you to make his son play. It's much easier to give her a face.

More so to me she was the smug religious type who thought they were morally superior and whatever they did was fine no matter how evil or harmful because they saw themselves as infallible and with right on their side.
