Meh it's either/or. I just wanted to say Umbridge.

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

Wait hold on I read that wrong lmao. I though it was worst-written characters, not worst character written. Whoopsies.

Same. Can I say that Bella was one of the worst? (I haven't read it but a passive protag!)

Honestly yeah, I have to agree with you there. Her personality is akin to that of a piece of cardboard.

Honestly who has the thought process
'Oh, Edward left me! I'll jump off a fucking cliff into the ocean to get him to come back! That won't backfire at all!'

I feel like part of why Umbridge is such a good villain is that a majority of people won't come face-to-face with an evil dictator irl. We will, however, have terrible and cruel bosses, coworkers, and just random people we encounter.
Also, Harry Potter is Middle Grade/YA, and almost every single kid has had a teacher who would punish the class for no reason, or have an irrational hate for you or a friend, or be so irritatingly fake nice that we know what an Umbridge is, we've dealt with them, but we haven't dealt with a Voldemort in anything but books and movies.
Voldemort is a threat that's too out of reach to be truly frightening, but Umbridge is someone we meet daily.

Let's see, characters that I think are poorly written…. actually I'm not really a fan of Jude & Taryn from Cruel Prince. I think they are kind of bland.

Like who's the most bland from HP? That's a hard one I know.

Dean Thomas.
Literally any of the death eaters.
Cornelius Fudge.

His constant denial of anything wrong was so infuriatingly toxic and just the way he handled things by not handling them was so bland and one dimensional.

But Javert had such a deep inner turmoil!!

You just don't like her because you stan Eponine. :P

marius can be a little bland though

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

I feel like most secondary/minor characters in media aren't developed that much and the reason why people love them is headcanons and personal interpretation.
