Harry Potter Question

Anyone else think that McGonagall is underrated as a duelist?

She seems very underrated among Potterheads. Most don't even put her in their top 10 best duelers list, while characters such as Bellatrix are present in a lot. I've heard a lot of arguments about how she's "old" and probably can't fight as well as she used to, but Dumbledore is older and had the upper hand when dueling Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic. I personally think her only superiors are Dumbledore and Voldemort.

I haven't seen any ratings of duellers or top dueller lists, so I can't comment on that. I agree that she is meant to be a highly skilled duellist though. There has to be a reason she was one of the three fighting against Voldemort just before Harry interfered in the final battle. And as to her being "old": wizards and witches age more slowly than Muggles. She's actually still in her prime.
