'Harry Potter' Villain Takes on the Baddest of the Bad
In 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' resilient evildoer Lord Voldemort continues to torment the students of Hogwarts. But how does he stack up against other iconic baddies?

FINAL ROUND

In the red corner:
LORD VOLDEMORT
Record: 2-0 against Mr. & Mrs. Potter. 0-2-1 against Harry Potter
Special move: The "I'm dead … psyche! No I'm not!" rope-a-dope.

He Who Must Not Be Named is the most feared wizard in the Harry Potter universe. Known for mercilessly killing anyone who stands in his way, Voldemort somehow hit a wall and fell to the infant Harry Potter. After a little while spent hanging out on other people's heads and resting up, he's returned to finish the job. Ruthless, powerful, and ugly — he's a bad-guy triple threat.

In the black corner:
VIGO THE CARPATHIAN (ALSO: THE CRUEL, THE TORTURER, THE DESPISED, THE UNHOLY, THE BUTCH)
Record: 1-1 against the Ghostbusters
Special move: "Paralyze this": rendering his opponents unable to move, though still able to crack wise.

What is it with evil wizards and babies? Although Voldemort was trying to kill baby Potter, Vigo was simply trying to possess baby Oscar so that he might live again as a pampered, Upper-West-Side, socialite. Distracting opponents with his erratic, culturally unclassifiable corner-man Janos, Vigo harnesses the power of slime to lay waste to his enemies. Unless, of course, they happen to be armed with "happy slime," his one weakness. That, and Auld Lang Syne. But make no mistake, you are still like the buzzing of flies to him.
