People we love to hate...
Movie magic is a phenomenon that transcends mere entertainment. It's an art form that whisks us away from our daily lives, catapulting us into worlds unknown, realities unfathomed, and emotions previously untouched.
A good movie doesn't just tell a story; it makes us believe in it, immersing us so deeply that the boundaries between fiction and reality become wonderfully blurred. At the heart of this enchantment are the actors.
Their talent and commitment breathe life into the characters, transforming mere words on a page into living, breathing individuals. With just a glance, a gesture, or a perfectly delivered line, they can make us laugh, cry, love, or hate.
Whether it's the hero we root for or the villain we despise, these actors have the power to make us feel, think, and, most importantly, believe. Characters like Joffrey Baratheon from "Game of Thrones" and Mrs. Umbridge from "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (as well as subsequent books and films) are perfect examples of villains that audiences love to hate.
These characters are crafted so meticulously and performed so convincingly that they can make readers' and viewers' blood boil with anger and frustration. Sometimes, the emotions these characters evoke are so powerful that the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur, and we start to associate the actors themselves with the wickedness they portray on screen.
As you dive into the various answers, you may find yourself nodding in agreement or even discovering new perspectives on characters you thought you knew well. Whether you're a seasoned film and literature enthusiast or someone exploring these stories for the first time, the insights offered by fellow fans can be both fascinating and provocative.

I have hated Paul Reiser since the 80s because of Aliens.
billions_of_stars replied:
I remember Paul Reiser being on a talk show many years ago after he was in the movie Aliens. He talked to Jay Lemon or whoever it was about how he was doing standup once and before he even started people were booing him because they hated that character so much. He said something to the host along the lines of “they realize I’m not actually that guy, right?”
I actually had this issue this morning. I was watching Breaking Bad and Jesse's AA leader was on. Perfectly softly spoken gentle man. Hate him on sight. Had to Google him. Turns out he was a character in Sabrina the Teenage Witch that I watched as a child (Zelda's husband) and he was such a bastard I've apparently carried a dormant instinctual hatred for him ever since.

He freaked me out so much as Ramsay Bolton that I’m pretty sure I’d cross the street if I happened to see him out walking around. That’s a good actor.

Took me quite a while to watch Joaquin Phoenix in anything after Gladiator, his Commodus was so f*****g evil I couldn’t stand him in anything for years

Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort also!

I've been scared of him all my life. I was so happy to see him play such a different character in The Grand Budapest Hotel.

But also a super chill dude in real life.
I've never seen her in anything but The Office, but it's always such a mind‐f**k when I see an interview or something with Angela Kinsey and she's smiling and seems somewhat likeable.
I got to meet her at a convention once, and she is incredibly sweet IRL. So are Oscar Nuñez and Brian Baumgartner.
I went to the convention dressed as Dwight and, when it was time for my picture with Angela, she exclaimed “Dwight!” Then she told me she was going to go “full Angela” for the photo, and she did.
GonzoThompson replied:
Brian was extra careful to make sure I got all the photos I wanted with him. We had already taken three or so when he asked me if I was sure I got everything I wanted with him.
All three of them are super nice people.
When I saw Giancarlo Esposito in Community, I just about sh*t myself in fear.

See his role on Basterds influenced my perspective of him so much I spent the entire movie waiting for him to betray Django and when the credits rolled and he hadn’t my mind was in denial
DeannaZone replied:
I loved that movie because of him, but unfortunately if I ever see or hear him in something I am like this is the bad guy ... he did is sooo good!

Honestly the biggest challenge for any new HP series is going to be matching the casting of the movies. Imelda Staunton is one of many who was absolutely perfect for her character and it's going to be hard to buy anyone else in the role.
Lunavixen15 replied:
I can't unsee Umbridge as her, even after reading the books again. She encapsulated Umbridge so well.

The ironic thing is I read Jack Gleeson is one of the kindest people and is active in volunteer efforts. I watched an interview where his co-star Sophie Turner said he was the greatest guy.
Good actors don't just portray characters; they become them. Through their performances, they forge connections that can make us forget we're watching a play of light and shadows on a screen.
It's in these transcendent moments that we lose ourselves in the story, and the magic of cinema truly comes alive. The ability of a movie to make us believe, even for just a brief time, that the impossible is possible, that dreams can be realities, is nothing short of miraculous, and it's what keeps us coming back to the theater, time and time again.
