  • Professor McGonagall should've won the house cup every year.
    Welcome to Next of Ken and today, we're counting down the 12 Times Professor McGonagall Was a Boss Ass Witch in the "Harry Potter" franchise. Although appearing cold and stern, McGonagall has proven herself a caring friend, a fierce matriarch of Hogwarts, and overall, one bad ass witch. Did your favorite McGonagall moment make the list?

      I havent ever gotten into harry potter before because my mum said that I wouldnt like it so recently, one of my teachers started reading the books to the class every so often. In the school library, I took the prison of azkaban and started reading that. He read the first book and I liked it so I watched up to about the 5th film and then I got the 1st and 2nd book. For Christmas I got the whole set so I started reading them. Yesterday, I was reading the goblet of fire and I fell asleep. Long story short, my dog ripped up the whole book so now i have to wait for one to come that i got from Amazon.

    Minerva McGonagall... By far the most underrated character of the entire Harry Potter series. She tried to stop Harry from being put with the Durseleys, and continuously watched out for Harry and all his friends for the rest of their schooling and sometimes beyond. She punished fairly and taught well, and she was one of the few to stand up against Umbridge. Like, I honestly don't know why she isn't consistently praised and adored like Snape or Dumbledore are. 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Anyone who praises Snape for anything more than his potion and spellcasting abilities are naive people ignoring the clear signs of unhealthy stalker obsession. Dumbledore was a great mentor, but an honestly terrible Headmaster. He signed off on teachers like Quirrel and Lockhart, and gave no care towards the safety and education of the students. Any headmaster that shrugs off a Professor literally casting an unforgiveable curse on each member of his class is automatically negligent af.

      'Yes.'
      Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter.'
      'Have - what?'
      'Have a biscuit,' she repeated impatiently, indicating a tartan tin
      lying on top of one of the piles of papers on her desk. 'And sit down.'

      @@kristinvagula2821 Snape is a powerful wizard. Why would you think just because he's a potions wizard means he's not powerful? We all know he actually wanted to teach defense against the dark arts cause he knew so much of them. This dude has created his own spells such as Sectumsempra which is extremely dangerous spell and he's expert in it, he's the only one who can fly without a broom besides Voldemort, he's master at mind reading as well. He could block his mind from Voldemort each time he wanted to see into his mind. He has great knowledge in dark spells and helped Dumbledore not to die instantly after he destroyed the ring. He duelled with Slughorn, Flitwick and Mcgonnagall all at the same time. The reason he "lost" to Mcgonnagall was because he was on their side (watch Snape's memories) and didn't want to hurt anyone, he also eliminated 2 Carrows with one spell while being under attack so the school could be free. Snape is not to be underestimated. Before mcgonnagall can even say "Veraverto" she will be on the ground bloody scars all over her body

    My favourite scene with Mcgonagall is when she says “I’ve always wanted to use that spell” she says it like she’s young again, and she gets so excited it quite amusing, I think her confidence is tested in deathly hallows 2, given she’s the only strong standing teacher left 🙌🏻

    The thing about McGonagall is that even though she was strict, she still deeply cared about her students. She just wanted to make sure they follow the rules. Of course, a lot of rules keep us safe, so those rules would be even more important in a school of magic. Even though she is a stickler for the rules, she doesn't go with political corruption, and is against harming students.
