Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, and the handbook will be comprised of various ideas, deal!

Definition of Evil- not a handbook! ...Yet...

Black Hair (preferably greasy, slickness works wonders for evil) any color truly works, but black has a sort of seductiveness, as do silver tones hair.

Deep black eyes (Preferably with a cold look of hatred. Either that or really cute.)

Pale skin (due to years without sun, just being sick, or other situations never mentioned)

Black clothes (would pink really suit evil? Well, a girl... maybe...)

An evil grin (sneering is acceptable behavior unless it is a bad habit)

Must talk in a deep voice (unless a girl, although there are exceptions)

Cannot have participated in any American Idol competition unless to annoy Simon (self explanatory?)

Must have an accent (fake or real, doesn't matter)

Must be aware of cleanliness (no one likes a smelly evil person, not even evil)

Can wield a sword, wand, ax, or some other weapon (again, self-explanatory)

Cannot be a whiner (unless a girl)

Must have at least three to ten people send death threats frequently (or send death threats to them)

Gotta have minions (c'mon, remember LOTR????)

Must make crowds scared when available

May not make a scene at Mardi Grah (Drunken evil doesn't put up a fight)

May not participate in charity (unless to cover your butt)

Wear long cloaks with hoods, occasionally

Dress clothes must be nice and not threadbare

Must have an evil name (Fred and George don't work without nicknames, which are also acceptable) Must name aforementioned weapon (Excalibur is overused)

May have a pet to stroke while talking (cats and bunnies work best)

Must have a symbol of their evil

Must be old enough to define evil as bad, malicious, really annoying or have an "I'm going to take over the world personality"

Turn to page two to begin Chapter 1: Why Become Evil? Don't the good guys always win?

"Hmmm... this sounds interesting. I wonder why Draco left this behind," Severus mused, "Never mind, it's an interesting read. Maybe it'll tell me how I can rid myself of Potter... or at least make him suffer..."
