How to make a character people love to hate

the-right-writing

  • Make them unfair, especially if it’s towards the main characters. Bonus points if they know they’re being unfair and dismiss it.
  • Make them a bigot.
  • Give them a position of power.
  • Do not give them a zany personality. Anything can be forgiven for a character with a wacky personality.
  • Let them get their way at important points instead of having the main characters constantly triumph against them.

Umbridge fits most, if not all, of these points.
