Am I the only one who despises Bellatrix?

I cannot stand Bellatrix either!
And like I said in a pick, I never understood her popularity among the fandom. She tortured Hermione. She killed Sirius. She killed Dobby. That bitch killed Dobby! She does not have ONE redeeming quality. (I also don't get why some people hate Molly for killing her. I mean, hello, she was protecting her daughter!)
Anyway xD. You are definitely not the only one who doesn't like her.

That being said, I do love Helena Bonham Carter :)

No, you're not the only one, its more like the other way around.

Bellatrix gets WAY too much unessisary hate. Think of everything she's been through. Think about how she's so dedicated to voldemort. She'd do anything for him, yet he treats her like shit. I've been there, I know what that feels like

All of my reallife friends hate her :( I'm lucky to have a lot of smart fanpop friends that love her as much as I do :)

I love her forever <3

I love Helena Bonham Carter's work, but I do hate Bellatrix. I almost cried when Dobby died! I saw it coming, but still! And she killed sirius! :'( And, I agree with the mudblood scene I was so mad at her! But, I think she is one of the best villains in Harry Potter :)

She's pure evil & mean & a phsycho.
She is loyal and dedicated.
Some of us hate her, some of us love her.
She appeals a lot of contradictory feelings at us.
Because of that, we should all accept the fact that she is a really great character, and one of the best villains in Harry Potter.

Of course! I was one of the people who applauded when Mrs. Weasley killed her!

I do! I happily appladed mrs.weasley even though i was in a movie theater,i got weird stares...

I don't hate Bellatrix, but I don't think she's as amazing as everyone thinks she is.

I hate her, she killed Sirius and Dobby, tortured Hermione, and she enjoyed every single moment of it,I really don't get why people love her as much as they do. The only characters I hate more than her are Draco and Lucius Malfoy.

Of course you're not.
I hate her too. :)

I freaking love her. Best character ever!

I wrote an article on why; link

But no you aren't she has a lot of haters. Quite contravirsle character really you either love her or hate her.

Love her ♥

HATE HER TOO!!!!
BITCH KILLED DOBBY!
i cheered when Molly killed her in the theatre

Ironically, she's one of my favorite characters but I still kinda dislike her. Kinda.

I can understand how people come to dislike her because....let's face it: she isn't the sanest and friendliest charcacter! Really, killing, torturing and cackling can result in being disliked sometimes but I don't think Bella cares.
Neither do I...
It's her madness and malice that make her such an interesting character, together with her undying loyalty to Voldy. I find it interesting to think about what motivates a character.

She's one of my favourite characters and I REALLY think she's great (and even better in the book where she seems a bit more sane and more dangerous than in the movies)

If she was a person, I'd surely hate her because the best way to describe is evil. However, as a character I find her fascinating. I actually love to hate her.

I Hate her! I really do. I can't understand how someone could like her. She may be an interesting character but she is still a ***** and I can't stand her! She torchered the Longbottoms to insanity, killed Sirius Black and Dobby (Not to mention proably hundereds more) and torchered Hermione. I love the fact that Molly Weasley killed her!(was the only one who whooped in the theater?)She is all in all completely evil and demented.

i habe always hated her i love the actress, yes, but i can't stand Bellatrix i started cheering when Mrs. Weasley killed her

no there lodes of people that hate her

Yea, it seems kind of fad-ish that everyone is so in love with her and the death eaters. I understand favorite characters, but what's to like about some of those guys?!

I always tend to like the bad guys in books/movies because they make the story interesting.

So, Bellatrix is one of my favorite characters.

I love her. The fact people hate her just because she's the evil one isn't a good reason for me. I would probably hate her if she was a real person, but I love her as a character. I usually like bad guys better anyway ...
Plus Tim and Helena aren't actually married ;)

I hate her with an extraordinarily deep passion, one that really has nothing to do with any character she's killed, or anything she's done to the Longbottoms. No, this is a hatred that stands on its own, and defies explanation.

Helena has always been one of my favorite actresses, and I love and respect her all the more for her ability to portray the character so convincingly.

Reading the books I despised her, but seeing HBC portray her i came to like the character more because I came to understand her a little better (I think haha)

That being said, she's a character I "love to hate." I, of course, cheered when Molly killed her both in the books and in the movies and she was indeed a cruel and terrible person, but I know a good villain when I see one and I ALWAYS appreciate a good villain especially a woman. She was well written, well played, and a significant part of the HP storyline.

I hate her just as much for killing some main characters in the past 3 movies, I laughed when Mrs. Weasley said before killing her saying "Not my daughter, you bitch."XD

Yeah, I despise her. She's just...she disgusts me, that's the word. She's just so evil...I can't even think of a word bad enough to describe her. There's nothing good in her, that's for sure. Utter darkness, that's what she is. Ugh. Like I said. Disgusts me.

It's sort of love/hate thing with me and Bellatrix. I think she's an awsome female villan, but at the same time I hate her guts for killing two awsome characters and hurting Hermione. Honestly, it's understandable for hating on a person like that even if they're not real. She's a sadistic bitch who was brought up in an old, conservative pure-blood family who spoiled her rotten and was madly in love with an ugly dark wizard who didn't even pay attention to her and treated her like shit most of the time.

I hate her so much words can't describe it. SHE KILLED SIRIUS!!!!!!!!! THE WOMAN MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!

So no, you're not the only one.

The only reason why so many people like her is because of the actress who plays her. I don't remember this much love for her before the Ootp movie came out.

You're definitely not the only one. Another one of those "cruel" characters that people love to hate. :(


However I have a HUGE crush on her lol

i like Bellatrix. XD
But no there are people who do hate her. Same goes for ever character from Hp.

YOU FOOL!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! She is just a character. If she existed and went to my school and wrote mudblood on my arm i would hate her but she is JUST a character. If you want to hate anyone hate JK Rowling since she created her, or Helena Bodham Carter for portraying her like that!! GET OVER YOURSELF

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU.

Erm.. I hate her. A lot. I mean. I hate her so much it's probably unhealthy because she's only a fictional character but I cannot help hating her so much. Sirius Black is my favorite character, who I probably love so much it's unhealthy because he's only a fictional character but I cannot help loving him so much.

Any character + killing Sirius = Eternal hate for that character.

And all the other stuff she's done, the Longbottoms, Dobby, Tonks & most likely many others... It's just too bad. I'd hate her whether she killed Sirius or not {probably}.

I totally understand why people hate Bellatrix, she killed three of the most beloved characters Siruis, Tonks, Dobby, tortured Neville's parents till they lost their minds, tortured Hermione and wrote mudblood on her arm, set fire to Hagrid's and House and the Weasleys' barrow these things can make anyone hate Bella, but not me (oh come on does she supposed to be the best villain ever without doing this)
May be because I'm always biased to the dark side of any story not just Harry Potter, that what made me love Bella at the first time, and by the time I've known that she's totally an awesome character
Lets forget that she's evil, Bella has really good points, she's extremely loyal and devoted the ones she love, has a strong personality that every woman would envy her for it, stands up for what she believes in .. should I go on
link will tell you what I'm trying to say, the things that make me respect Bella more and more every time I thing of them
And for Helena Bonham Carter, I love her she's my favorite actress, but I loved Bellatrix before I knew Helena

I think she's fine as hell.

I used to like Bellatrix. But I just don't anymore. She's bitter and twisted and evil. She killed an innocent house-elf and her niece! HER OWN NIECE!

And she has no redeeming quality, at all. None. Whatsoever. I can't stand her. I am a member of her spot...that's when I liked her and I can't be bothered unregistering myself from the spot.

Not you're not alone, I hate her too.

While I do like her I hate how "powerful" everyone thinks she is, she's only there to be "the only female" in the top rank, and as such is over emphasized. They only say she's a prodigy to make her special, and she's honestly gets way too much credit for being powerful. It gets to a point where she pretty much begins to overshadow every other death eater, and it's sad when you really think about it. Reading on some of the other death eaters you'll find that a lot of them were far superior than she was in terms of real power, and when it comes down to Bellatrix they give her the most shittiest excuse ever. She was personally trained by Voldemort ( because she's his Harley Quinn~ ), and allegedly has an understanding of "super secret spells" yet that's never explored.
Another problem I encounter is that supposedly Lucius was his second in command, and yet he never treats him as such. Lucius can fuck up once, and will earn himself a beating, but Bellatrix screws something up, and HE DOES NOTHING TO HER. Voldemort isn't suppose to be able to love, but with the level of favoritism he shows towards her you kinda think otherwise. The last I'll add is that most of her victories are won because she fights people who are younger than her, or are severely injured and exhausted. Fighting someone around her age results in her demise not just because of her strength, but her blind arrogance as well.

If i had a gun with two bullets with a room of Voldy, Rita Skeeter, Umbridge, Bellatrix and Gaunt I would shoot Bella twice. I abseloutely despise her too, she killed my Sirius man

omg I hate her 4 ever too

You're not at all the only HP fan who dislikes or even hates her character. I believe that she was actually created for the audience to hate. She kills 2 fan favourite characters (Sirius and Dobby), mocks Harry about Sirius' death, tortured Neville's parents and is therefore the reason he's effectively an orphan, mocks Neville about this (there's a pattern here), tortures Hermione because of her being Muggle-born.... plenty to hate.

She seems to be the sort of character whom everyone either loves or hates. There's no middle ground for opinions of her. Personally, I love to hate her.
