Not Ron or Ginny, This Harry Potter Character Had Most Toxic Banter

Summary:

• Harry Potter fans often point out the twins, Ron, or Ginny as the most witty characters with the funniest quips.
• However, it was Harry himself who had the most amusing sarcastic remarks and mastered verbal assault.
• Harry’s snarky replies and quips at his rivals delivered some of the most memorable banter in the entire series.

As a community of Harry Potter fans, we often praise Ron for having the most witty lines; Fred and George for delivering the snappiest comebacks; and Ginny for mastering her sarcastic bitebacks. But the Weasleys weren’t the only ones to verbally destroy their opponents on a daily basis; in fact, the most toxic menace in the series didn’t have a single red hair on his body… Until the sixth part, at least.

Harry James Potter Was a Menace

Unexpected, right? As ironic as it is, the main character of his titular series is often overlooked when it comes to witty banter and verbal assaults; after all, there are too many important things happening around The Boy Who Lived to remember them. But it doesn’t mean that Harry wasn’t the most dedicated soul crusher in the series.

Because he was.

In the Harry Potter movies, many of Harry’s golden quips were cut or omitted; but in the books, almost every chapter featured some wild quote from The Chosen One. Whenever Harry Potter felt like someone was in the wrong, he knew he had to choose violence — and since he wasn’t much of a karate kid, he used sharp words.

Every rival or enemy of The Boy Who Lived happened to be on the wrong side of his deadly sharpened tongue at least a few times, and those were Harry’s best scenes.

Harry’s Best Lines Were All Sarcastic

When Draco Malfoy tried to bully him for his fear of Dementors and remarked that Harry’s broom need a parachute to catch him, the latter responded with a “Pity you can’t attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy; then it could catch the Snitch for you.”

When Narcissa Malfoy taunted Harry for being under Dumbledore’s protection, he offered her to try him since Dumbledore wasn’t there and added, “They might be able to find you a double cell in Azkaban for your loser of a husband.”

Harry shut down Dolores Umbridge’s praise for Quirrell by highlighting the “minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out the back of his head,” told the infuriated Severus Snape there was “no need to call him sir,” and flatly explained to Uncle Vernon that he listened to the news because “it changes every day, you see.”

No one was ever safe from Harry’s witty sarcasm, and while it brought a heap of problems to The Boy Who Lived, it also delivered some of the most memorable banter in the entire series.
