it’s easy to believe in magic after
watching these guys on screen welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten wizards
in film for this list we’ve chosen those
movie wizards who are most memorable and
most powerful whether they’re good or
evil there is no good and even there is
only bomb number 10 Merlin the sword in
the stone the name is Merlin and I
happen to be the world’s most powerful
wizard by far the most scatterbrained
wizard on our list this version of
Merlin is one of the best and that is
what I call a wizard wizard not one to
use overly complex or powerful spells
Merlin often turns himself and his
apprentice into different animals to
teach life lessons what did I tell you
always look before you leap he’s old and
cranky and he nearly gets Arthur eaten a
handful of times but his love for the
boy is apparent
plus he proves himself when he battles
against the evil madam MIM in a wizard
off just a minute
but this is
number nine Mickey Mouse Fantasia even
though this movie was considered one of
Disney’s first critical and commercial
flops we won’t forget Mickey as The
Sorcerer’s Apprentice anytime soon he’s
just one part of the larger story but
Mickey segment stands out he tries to
get out of doing chores by enchanting a
broom but the magic is too strong and he
ends up making a mess of the castle
however this is one mess we’d watch over
and over again
number eight the high Alduin willow
standing at a little less than four feet
tall it’s easy to overlook the wizard
auld hwon but as willows mentor this
nellwyn wizard proves that sage advice
and a little confidence can go a long
way more than anyone in the village you
have the potential to be a great
sorcerer now when you’re out there
listen to your own heart he’s the one
that convinces willow to embark on his
quest and teaches him to trust his
instincts all Tuen said it best when he
stated that magic is the blood stream of
the universe a lesson willow and viewers
won’t forget glen much to learn young of
good number seven Lord Voldemort
the Harry Potter franchise they never
learn
such a pity where would Harry Potter be
without his nemesis He Who Shall Not Be
Named is the embodiment of evil
he’s absolutely terrifying given his
willingness to practice the dark arts
plus his appearance as an earthworm with
a kind of face doesn’t help either but
you gotta admit there’s something
charismatic about the guy I’m going to
kill you Harry Potter and it is kind of
cool that he brought himself back from
the dead learning his backstory as Tom
Riddle throughout the series only makes
him that much more complex Voldemort is
my past present and future number 6 the
wizard The Wizard of Oz the great oz has
spoken
okay so he may not be a real wizard in
terms of having any magical powers
you’re a very bad man oh no my dear
I’m a very good man I’m just a very bad
wizard but this guy has the showmanship
and grandiose attitude of all the
magicians in Vegas combined great power
in a world where name is everything this
wizard has made sure everyone knows who
he is and what he can supposedly do but
like the other wizards on our list
he’s infinitely wise it’s his advice
that helps Dorothy and company and
that’s pretty magical hi your visit all
right
I’m about to embark upon a hazardous and
technically unexplainable journey into
the outer stratosphere number five Harry
Potter the Harry Potter franchise you’re
a wizard Harry I’m a lot a wizard
he’s the Boy Who Lived and we’re glad he
did Harry is everyone’s favorite orphan
and the only one who could stand against
Voldemort and win neither one can live
for the other one survives it means one
of us is gonna have to kill the other in
the end while Harry’s skills as a wizard
aren’t anything to right number four
privet Drive about his abilities as a
leader and a good friend make him a
memorable movie magician I think we
agree Potter’s actions were heroic the
question is favorite a necessary plus
he’s the most athletic wizard on our
list
given his Quidditch talent no matter
what obstacles he faces Harry always
pulls through mr. Potter will always be
around to save the day don’t worry I
will be number four Tim nee enchanter
Monty Python and the Holy Grail by what
name are you known that our son will
call me him on a list of magical men
he’s definitely the most eccentric with
his thick Scottish accent and gruff
demeanor it’s easy to forget Tim’s as
powerful as he is but he’s got no
problem reminding us you seek the Holy
Grail that is our quest
you know much that is hidden now Tim
quite one of Tim’s best magical powers
is his ability to blow anything up and
produce fireballs which is very useful
as King Arthur and his men venture
through the cave of caerbannog his
stylish ram’s horn hat is pretty
unforgettable too hot death awaits you
are with nasty big pointy teeth well
makes sense with the Holmes number three
Merlin Excalibur I
then though he’s already appeared
earlier in this countdown this
characterization of Merlin is completely
different from the other films version
this time he’s more complex as a leader
of all things otherworldly Merlin is
fearless as he tames dragons and beasts
alike oh I dreamt of the Dragon
I have awoken him can’t you see all
around you the dragon’s breath this
depiction is more cunning than the
children’s version and his duels with
nemesis Morgana prove he’s not one to be
messed with this version of Merlin is
slightly terrifying but we mean that in
the best way
good and evil then ever is one without
the other
where hide evil then in my kingdom
always where you never expected always
number two
Albus Dumbledore the Harry Potter
franchise happiness can be found even in
the darkest of time when only remembers
to turn on the light
as a wizard he’s pretty powerful in fact
he’s the only Wizard Lord Voldemort has
ever feared as long as Dumbledore and
Harry you’re safe as long as tumbles
around you can’t be touched but the
beauty of Albus Dumbledore is that he
rarely uses his powers especially not to
benefit himself it is not our abilities
that show what we truly are it is our
choices he’s a great wizard but he’s an
even better teacher he gives the best
advice and often uses random anecdotes
to lead students to the right answers as
Harry’s mentor Dumbledore makes the boy
consider both good and evil when Miss
will face the choice between what is
right what is easy and let’s not forget
his beard it may be the best on our list
you may not like a minister but you can
deny
Dumbledore’s Got style before our top
pick casts his spell on us here are a
few honorable mentions
what are you the miracle max who work
for the King all those years the King
stinking son fired me and thank you so
much for bringing up such a painful
subject while you’re at it once you give
me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice
on it we’re closed
you know I actually saw him change LED
into gold
I could never do that
hmm too bad doodle stood to inherit some
real wealth magista please don’t talk
like that you’re not going to die oh but
I look forward to it
all this magic what is it accomplished
number one Gandalf the Lord of the Rings
franchise you’re late a wizard is never
late Frodo Baggins nor is he earning he
arrives precisely when he means still we
lied Gandalf
definitely has the best beard not only
is he a great literary character but
Gandalf’s on-screen depiction is one of
the most iconic as well originally known
as Gandalf the Grey kind of an average
wizard he returns after his tangle with
the Balrog as Gandalf the White a more
powerful version of himself captain
Gandalf mmm
after southeast recruiter
Gandalf is everything a wizard should be
wise fair and compassionate death is
just another path
once we almost take he’s the best of
allies and a formidable fighter as well
