Dolores Umbridge is probably Harry Potter's most universally hated evil character, and for a good reason. Coming up through the ranks due to her Ministry connections, Dolores worms her way up to become Headmistress at Hogwarts. She invents new magical devices for discipline that abuse disobedient students both physically and emotionally.

She's also magical with both Dark and forbidden Curses. She doesn't have any problems casting whatever charm she needs to, in the most absolute confidence, even when her life is being threatened. It takes the Centaurs to remove her from Hogwarts, and even then she pops up again at the Ministry and continues to cause problems in The Deathly Hallows.
