Dementors (Harry Potter)
Listen, I am by no means a “monster movie” person. That would require more horror movie watching, which strays far and away from my To Do list. So, it isn’t very surprising that one of my favorite movie monsters are ones that I was introduced to at a young age. Aside from Professor Umbridge, the Dementors are possibly the most imposing monsters the Harry Potter universe ever created. While some of their spark and intrigue is taken away in the films, where their design becomes a little too simplistic, the idea of a creature whose sole purpose is to suck the happiness and hope out of a person is terrifically frightening for any age, and it’s one that stuck to the themes of the series for its duration. – Ally Johnson
