No proclaimed villain-antagonist of a public scale would have become such if he did not have his supporters who were afraid of him, supported him and followed him either in the hope of any encouragement, or simply because of fear for his life , or the life of your loved ones. There are also such minions who follow their ideal in view of the coincidence of views on things, so to speak, akin to convictions. Voldemort had little followers of conviction. The lion's share of his minions consisted of real scumbags, intimidated, but from this no less dangerous. About who was included in the list of Death Eaters (this is how they called the closest minions of the Dark Lord), we will discuss in our material.
Most Minions - Lucius Malfoy
In fact, there were not too many people who were honored to wear the Death Eater label. Some may have remained behind the scenes. We will dwell on the list of Death Eaters, which included lit up in the described events. We will pay more attention to those who made a more tangible contribution to “villainous affairs”, and those who were on the sidelines — we mention in passing.
And let's start, perhaps, with the most infamous and dodgy, but at the same time weighted among a wide circle of wizards, as well as in the hierarchy of Voldemort’s close associates, Lucius Malfoy’s personality.
It was the father of the eternal enemy of Harry Potter at Hogwarts - Draco Malfoy. Initially, when the Dark Lord was still deprived of his body, he was devoted to his "master." Arrogant, secretive, duplicitous, and even vile- looking type , it was he who threw Reddle's diary (one of the crucifixes) to Ron Weasley's sister. In the process of narration, Harry helped free his family elf Dobby from being released from the oppression of the Malfoy family, for which Lucius further disliked Harry Potter.
He was one of the organizers of the Quidditch World Cup riots, but he was captured during the fight for a prophecy in the Ministry of Magic, when he and his accomplices first had to deal with Harry Potter and his friends, and then with the fighters who came to their aid. He escaped from Azkaban during a mass escape arranged by his minions Voldemort.
It is not clear whether he was placed in prison after the Second Magic War or not.
Bellatrix Lestrange
One of the most ardent minions of the Dark Lord, who remained faithful to him, even after being imprisoned in Azkaban. She participated, like Lucius Malfoy, in both magical wars. For torture with the use of the spell “Kputsiatus” was imprisoned and fled from there among many of Voldemort's minions during the mass escape. It was she who caused the death of Sirius Black. During a fight in the mystery department, she sent him to the Arch of Death. She was killed by Ron Weasley's mother at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts.
Severus Snape
The only one from the list of Death Eaters who, after the First Magical War, played a well-informed double game and was more likely on the side of the light forces than on the side of the dark. Back in 1881, he secretly crossed over into Dumbledore’s camp, although Voldemort did not even suspect this until the end of his days. He was killed by the Dark Lord before the fight at Hogwarts, because he thought he was the rightful owner of one of the deathly hallows - the elderberry wand. Although its rightful owner was Draco Malfoy, since it was he who disarmed Dumbledore before his death.
Barty Crouch (son)
This offspring of one of the most important employees of the ministry was lit up on the side of the Dark Lord during the time of the first Magic War, but was later released. It was he who released the black mark during the Quidditch World Cup riots, and then assuming the form of the Terrible Eye of Moody, he constantly instructed Harry to go through the entire Fire Cup tournament without defeat. His task was to make Harry at the final stage touch the Cup, which was a portal to the place where Voldemort was reborn. The Dark Lord needed Harry's blood. There, in front of the Eaters present, he was preparing to kill the boy in order to demonstrate his power and strength over the curse of his mother.
Barty was sentenced to "the Dementor's Kiss" and, in fact, turned into a vegetable. Here's a photo of the Harry Potter death eater Barty Crouch Jr., who also killed his own father in the Forbidden Forest.
Peter Pedigrew, aka “Tail”
Being an animagus, for a long time, after his betrayal, he was in the guise of a rat called Korosta and lived with one of Harry Potter's friends, Ron Weasley. It was his betrayal that helped Voldemort deal with Harry's parents.
After, before the second magical war, it was he who helped the Dark Lord to be resurrected, for which he paid with his hand, was gifted with a silver magic hand, and it was subsequently strangled when he showed instability of the soul.

Aides from magical creatures and public organizations
Also on the side of Voldemort were dementors, some of the giants, forest acromantules, werewolves, and infernals. On this side, the list of Death Eaters also included the serpent of the Dark Lord Nagain, at the same time being his crucifix and nurse at a time when his essence was weak and vulnerable.
Of the public organizations that were on the side of Voldemort at the time of the Last Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic itself could be mentioned, which was completely under the influence of the Dark Lord and established a committee to account for “Muggle geeks” (more precisely, half-breeds), huntsmen who were investigating “Muggle geeks,” an army of werewolves who fought on the side of the dark forces and deserted the gang of Malfoy Jr. at the end.
Some interesting facts from making the movie
When creating the film by the designer Stuart Craig, much was taken from the examples of Soviet-era culture and, in particular:
- The sculpture at the Ministry of Magic is nothing more than a slightly tweaked display of Ivan Shadr's bas-relief “Fighting the Ground”, on which a worker and a collective farmer were sculpted from above.
- The appearance of the main hall of the ministry is nothing more than the metro station “Revolution Square” reworked by the artist.
- On the table in Abbridge’s office are books according to the rules of the fight against “Muggle geeks.” Their covers are made exactly as D. Moor made posters for the Soviet era, and the character depicted on them looks like Maxim Gorky himself.
Conclusion
Characteristically, as he did not like and hate the Death Eaters, Harry Potter never killed a single one during the whole story. But it was enough that in the end he coped with their leader, after which they all fled to the dark corners like cockroaches. That's it.
