With its huge success, Harry Potter has built a loyal and diehard fanbase and is considered one of the most famous movie series in cinematic history. There are a lot of wonderful locations in this magical film that make the audiences wish to visit such as Hogwart School, Platform 9 3/4, Cecil Court and of course, Azkaban.
As described in the original books, Azkaban was used by Great Britain’s magical community as a prison for criminals. It was first clearly depicted in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie and later became the scariest place in the series. Throughout seven movies, there had been many antagonists who served time behind bars for their crimes such as Lucius Malfoy or Dolores Umbridge. However, did you know that there were still numerous characters who committed serious crimes but were lucky not to be sent to this terrifying prison?
If you are interested in this topic, don’t hesitate to scroll down and discover the 10 characters that should have gone to Azkaban!
#1 Harry Potter

Although Harry knew that the wizards were forbidden to use the Unforgivable Curses, he still tried the Cructious Curse on Bellatrix following Sirius’ death. If we followed the law, he could be sent to Azkaban.
#2 Voldemort

I think we don’t need to say about the crimes You-Know-Who committed anymore, right? He ended the life of countless people and make the wizard’s world a terrible place. This guy deserved to be locked in Azkaban for the rest of his life.
#3 Blaise Zabini

The fact that Blaise fought on the side of Voldemort and tried to kill the Golden Trio was enough for him to go to Azkaban.
#4 Narcissa Malfoy

If Draco’s life hadn’t been in danger, she would most likely have handed Harry over to Voldemort and that’s why she should go to Azkaban to pay for her sins.
#5 Severus Snape

Snape is a character with a complex mentality. Though his killing of Dumbledore might have been an agreement between the two, the wizard’s world didn’t know about it and they would try to arrest him for daring to murder the most revered wizard.
#6 Gilderoy Lockhart

Gilderoy Lockhart should have gone to Azkaban for his actions of assaulting other wizards and taking their accomplishments as his own.
#7 Peter Pettigrew

Peter Pettigrew committed a lot of crimes during his life: he betrayed his friends, framed Sirius Black for murders he committed. It’s really not fair that he wasn’t locked in Azkaban, don’t you think?
#8 Draco Malfoy

Despite being a villain, Draco is one of the most beloved characters in Harry Potter. However, we must agree that he should be punished for his crimes.
#9 Corban Yaxley

Corban Yaxley certainly deserved to earn a place in Azkaban for what he did during his time taking charge of the ministry.
#10 Fenrir Greyback

I’m sure that Harry Potter‘s fans would be very happy if Greyback spent the rest of his life in Azkaban.
