  For me the bravest thing Harry did was walking to his own death willing to sacrifice himself for everyone elses fate. Just imagine that at the age of 17 years old.

  Although Arthur and Molly weren't THE bravest, the fact that most of their 7 kids went into "the bravest" category just shows what excellent people and parents they were!

  I wanna add something for Lee Jordan: he basically had the leading role in Potterwatch during deathly hallows. That's very brave because so many snatchers were hunting people who tried to help harry

  Not to mention Ron’s bravest moment, going to the Yule ball in those dress robes.

  At one point in this list we have to wonder where the line between brave and stupid goes

  In my opinion, the bravest thing Hermione did was to erase her parents memory to protect them because she was willing to join the final battle against Voldemort.

  Would put Sirius in the bravest category.Stood up to his entire family.Was ready to get tortured to insanity and killed by Voldi to save his best friends.If James is in the bravest categor then so is Sirius.

  Agree with almost the whole list…. Other than Sirius. I think it should be noted that he went against his ENTIRE BLOODLINE and embraced being a Gryffindor. He was outcast from his entire family… and he held strong. Also, holding steadfast for so many years in Azkaban, breaking out…. The first person to do so… he’s in bravest.

  Harry spent 10 years enduring abusive conditions and with absolutely no friends and - unlike Draco - he chose to reject his toxic upbringing and treat people with kindness and decency. &nbsp;He constantly put his friends and fellow students above himself even when they turned on him (which happened on more than one occasion). &nbsp;Not to mention that when the chips were down, he was basically always the one who got the job done. &nbsp;Quirrell, Basilisk, Dementors, Voldemort multiple times etc. &nbsp;In the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he - along with Neville - was still standing when the Order arrived while everyone else had gone down. &nbsp;He was the only person smart enough to deduce the correct path of the Elder Wand and thus figure out that he actually had the advantage when everyone else who knew about the wand assumed Voldemort did. &nbsp;He figured that out in the middle of a huge battle. &nbsp;Good luck to anyone else in the entire series piecing that together in those circumstances. &nbsp;Not the first time either; just by watching Malfoy&apos;s behaviour in Diagon Alley, he deduced that Malfoy joined the Death Eaters, which nobody outside of Dumbledore (who already knew) believed. &nbsp;Harry&apos;s logical/tactical sense is very underrated. &nbsp;And in case anyone forgot...he willingly walked into what looked for all the world like a certain death sentence when he allowed Voldemort to strike him down, just so the world would have a chance to defeat him. <br> <br>Sure, he&apos;s impulsive and quick to anger, but all that does is make him human. &nbsp;His kindness, empathy and courage far outstrip his flaws and bear in mind, he turned out to be a truly good person even while a piece of Voldemort was literally living in him. &nbsp;Wearing a Horcrux as a necklace was enough to amplify a person&apos;s negative traits, so imagine how much worse it would be with it actually merged with you. &nbsp;That Harry overcame that and an abusive upbringing to still be so good is a strength of character unmatched in the series. <br> <br>Also, small thing, but his sassy snark is up there with the Twins and Ron for best humour in the series. <br> <br>Harry Potter is an amazing character and a truly extraordinary person

  Dumbledore didn&apos;t put off his fight with Grindelwald out of cowardice, he literally couldn&apos;t because of the blood pact. And as soon as it was broken, he immediately faced the man he was in love with for the sake of the world, and even orchestrated his own death to take down Voldemort

  I’d honestly love to see this list with the other houses with their respective traits. &nbsp;It’s a really cool insight into characters that we never really think about!

  Your take for Albus Dumbledore is crazy. Yes he didn’t want to battle the person he loved. Fighting someone you’re in love with is the hardest things to do and yet eventually he did it. He dedicated his life live right and took up arms against Voldemort twice. He saved Harry and in the end gave his life to help destroy Voldemort. If that isn’t the bravest thing i don’t know what is
