He was about equal to Dumbledore when Dumbledore had the elder wand, plus he is immortal due to his horcruxes, and Dumbledore was mortally wounded after trying to destroy just one of them. If the elder wand recognized Voldemort as his master I see no reason why he wouldn't just be outright better, and even without it his hocruxes give him the win.
Honestly I think she is overhyped. She is one of the best no doubt, but she actually seemed to be ranked lower than Lucius in order of the phoenix and she was stalemated by Hermione, Ginny, and Luna in the final book. In the films she killed Sirius in a surprise attack, and in the books Sirius was cocky. And of course she lost to Molly, which doesn't look good on her either. She beat Kingsley, but Voldemort ranked Kingsley below Moody, who got captured by a Barty Jr. and Wormtail tag team and had trouble with Dolohov, who lost to Harry, Ron, and Hermione even with Rowle as backup, and lost to Flitwick. So the best scaling I see her getting is being above Kingsley and Sirius, which I put on my list. Unless she low diffed them, I think her spot is good.

Furthermore, she did low diff Kingsley, that fight was over in half a page. Lastly, you forgot to mention her blocking a spell from Dumbledore which is impressive on its surface for obvious reasons but doubly so considering every other Death Eater was getting one-shot blitzed.
Molly is too high, dumbledore>Grindlewald>Voldemort, dobby is too high, newt is too low he would stomp hermione so would Barty Crouch jr, the dragons are pretty overrrated too imo. grawp is too high and wormtail is wayyyy too low
In the movies Ron disarmed Yaxley and pushed back Narcissa. He also surprise disarmed Bellatrix. He was on the run from snatchers and death eaters his last year. The tri wizard contestants were essentially regular students with no life or death combat experience.
Snape should be number one instead of Credence. Credence got washed by Dumbledore in forty seconds meanwhile Snape fought both Flitwick and McGonagall(and Slughorn I'm not sure). Normally losing to Dumbledore is a better feat than losing to Flitwick and McGonagall but Dumbledore basically humiliated Credence. Casually teleporting behind him and overpowering him. If Flitwick and McGonagall fought Dumbledore, Dumbledore would be a little bit more serious than that.
Molly, Flitwick, and Bellatrix should be High Professor. Molly and Bellatrix below the Dragons and Flitwick above them. Bellatrix's statements should carry her to the bottom of High Professor. She beats two Mid Professors to prove it and her 1v3 was compared to Voldemort's. Flitwick was a dueling champion and could enchant Armor stands to fight people. Given that Bellatrix lost to Dumbledore's Golems in the books and Killing curses are ineffective on things that don't die. Also i'm pretty sure Flitwick enchanted multiple armor sets against Snape and I don't think any Mid Professor could take that.
unless they beat someone important that I am forgetting about Wormtail, Draco, and Umbridge have no business being this high. Wormtail is a coward and McGonagall stated that he can't duel. Draco fought nobody and lost badly to Harry. Umbridge basically did nothing.
@alextheboss: Newt can teleport casually, which we've never seen either of them do, he also could react and block lightning from grindlewald for over 30 seconds who is much faster than hermione and harry, he one shot one of grindlewalds lieutenants when she tried to bullrush him and was able to block protego diabolica while every other auror in the crowd besides Theseus was one shot. He also has way better durability feats then Hermione and arguably Harry as well as well as being faster and more experienced.
Aberforth was the younger brother, if anything that would mean he should have closed the gap rather than it getting bigger with age. And in the fantastic beasts movies he was able to react to and block and elder wand Avada Kedavera at the same speed Dumbledore did.
Wormtail stomped Cedric and book 4 Harry. I agree Draco should be lower, I'm probably dropping him. Umbridge stomped a centaur and was confident in taking the whole group, and 5th year Harry and Hermione didn't really seem to think they could stop her.

He is stated to be a poor dueler. His feats are decent, but any respectable adult wizard should be able to replicate them. Wormtail was treated worse than the other death eaters, I doubt he was more powerful than them, at least be a large margin, and Hermione is above lower end death eaters imo.
There were large groups of those knights. The giants were taking large amounts of spells and the trio had to run from one even though they were taking out death eaters left and right. Even Hagrid was repeatedly tanking curses from Rowle the death eater, and he is weaker than a full blooded giant. Avada Kedavra counters them, but without that spell most death eaters would get crushed.
It is debatable and it's constantly debated in verse. Dumbledore is likely naturally slightly better, but Voldemort is willing to use magic Dumbledore isn't, and with his horcruxes he can't lose. Dumbledore was fatally cursed by just destroying one. Voldy also pretty much stalemated him even though Dumbledore had a vastly superior wand.
Tina was able to hold her own against Grindelwald for some time and wasn't fully on the defensive as Newt was. Plus she became the head auror. EDIT: Tina should definitely be high wizard she blocked an attack from Theseus without looking and easily restrained him.
Eulalie has insane proficiency with charms she is held in high regard by Newt in terms of charms (he says he has his students read her book). Dumbledore says she has unparalleled defensive magic Plus she was able to preform the above feat with Theseus. EDIT: She is held in high regard by Newt in terms of charms (he says he has his students read her book)
@alextheboss: Also from Hogwarts Legacy I have Eleazar Fig as either towards the top of low professor or bottom of mid professor (he had a good reparo feat plus he was able to easily defeat those statue guardians) and Ranrok as a mid professor (Easily overwhelmed Fig without a wand and was seemingly stronger with one. Plus his blasts could knock back that giant guardian.)
@alextheboss: and finally finishing off the fantastic beasts main cast I'd give Queenie high student not a notably powerful witch but she was very strong legilimence (possibly the best we see) and she was confident in her ability to defend herself in dangerous situations.
And I would give Vinda Rosier (as a stand in for Grindelwald's acolytes as a whole) low professor they have skill in the unforgivable curses and some dueling ability. Plus it's implied that Newt was in trouble fighting them 2v1 in the Bhutan scene seemingly being saved by Jacob.
