Rank 7: Paracelsus
Paracelsus, whose real name was Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, was a Swiss natural philosopher, physician, and alchemist. He was a true pioneer of his time, who contradicted many common methods and was often called a wizard and charlatan.
How fitting that Paracelsus was indeed a wizard in Harry Potter. For his research, he even received a Chocolate Frog card, which Harry gets on his first ride on the Hogwarts Express. He is also credited with the discovery of Parseltongue, the ability to speak with snakes.
