Every Plot Twist in Harry Potter Ranked From Worst to Best

Biggest plot twist of all: the length of their hair in the 4th film

Let’s be real, “Tom Marvolo Riddle” being re-arranged to “I am Lord Voldemort” was one of the biggest “Oh shit!” moments of our childhoods.

The biggest plot twist was that the cursed child is cannon

The thought of Hermione holding Rita hostage always brings me joy 😁

Ginny being the one who opened the chamber of secrets was a really good one in my opinion. I actually screamed when it was revealed.

I actually was expecting the n°1 plot twist to be that Dumbledore had a plan that Harry would die so Voldemort's looming threat would be over and Snape was SHOCKED.

The greatest plot twist in Harry Potter is when Voldemort revealed he can touch him now

You’re right, for some reason people don’t really talk about the plot twists in Harry Potter which is interesting because the mystery element of the series is so prevalent in every single book.

The plot twist of how Dumbledore lost his sister was quite a shocker to me

The best plot for me would be... 'Is this true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?' 'Yes', said Harry 'You called her a liar' 'Yes' 'You told her he who must not be named is back' 'Yes' Professor McGonagall sat downbehind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter'

Morgan could honestly be minister of magic for how much he knows about the HP universe

I'll never forget first learning that Harry was a Horcrux. That had to be the first moment my heart genuinely sank. To learn that he had a piece of Voldemort's soul inside him would be like learning that your father, who you believed to have been killed, was really the villain you've been fighting the entire time. And James being a bully is a huge one for me. Snape's unflattering words, even when James saved him, could always be chalked up to his own bias, since people can say bad things about someone else no matter what. So to see him truly be a bully, backing up what Snape told Harry, was devastating.

I reckon both Lupin and Tonks dying was a twist... you'd think 'Oh! they have plot armor, they'd just had a son!' but no. Also Molly killing Bellatrix was pretty shocking, this kind motherly lady just beating the shit out of one of the biggest villains.

Worst plot twist was HPB film forgetting about the half blood Prince until the very end then not explaining it.

Mad eye Moody being Barty jr all along has to be one of the best plot twists i've read in any book tbh

For me it’s that Dumbledore plotted with Grindlewald to control the muggles “for the greater good”. It also helps to explain why he puts so much trust in Snape despite his past ambitions.

When I was a little kid, the Quirell plot twist hit me so hard when I read it. My family had all read the book so I started reading it over the pandemic. (I was like 6). I was really enjoying it, but one night my brother came into my room and told me we were going to watch the first movie. I was upset because I hadn’t finished the first book, so I ran into the living room and immediately started reading. I was on the chapter “through the trapdoor.” My family was watching the movie while I was still finishing the book, and I was really rushing through it so I could get the to end and watch the movie. But then, I reached the “it wasn’t snape. It wasn’t even Voldemort.” I eagerly turned the page and read “it was quirell” I was totally shocked and reread it like ten times. Even to this day, that’s my favorite hp plot twist. 😅❤

I think the plot twist of the cursed child is ironically the best cause it's down bad diabolical.

What about when we find out that Sirius is Harry Potter’s Godfather. I guess you can equate that to them being the Marauders but initially reading that the “mass murdered” who has escaped from Azkaban is Harry’s Godfather was astounding.

Greatest plot twist is when Narcissa Malfoy told Voldemort that Harry was dead.
