That's kind of obvious considering one the most powerful dark wizard of all time and one is the deputy headmistress. Dumbledore was the only one Voldemort ever feared, McGonagall wouldn't stand a chance.
I agree that Voldemort would defeat McGonagall, but i disagree on the "wouldn't stand a chance against him." McGonagall is an extremely powerful witch and i think it would be difficult for voldemort to kill her, as she is capable of putting up a good fight against him. As shown in the deathly hallows Voldemort was unable to defeat McGonagall kingsley and slughorn, But the three weren't able to defeat Voldemort either.
In a fair duel, the is not a chance that Bellatrix would win, Minerva is a superior witch with great skill and is in all honestly probably the most powerful witch in the whole of the Harry Potter series, however, there is no way that Bellatrix would fight fair. Bellatrix would stoop to any low using any and all dark magic to achieve her goal and would probably taunt Minerva until she was too angry to fight properly. Plus, in any setting, Bellatrix would probably shoot spells at innocent bystanders and I don't believe Minerva would be able to let them hit and would give herself up to protect others.
in a fair duel- Minerva
in reality- Bellatrix
McGonagall would win either way,Remember she can transfigure her suits of armor to protect the bystanders...Knowing McGonagall, i think she will make the fight fair even if bellatrix didnt want to...Man who knew transfiguration could come in handy...and i bet McGonagall could use the dark arts also, its just that she is all about rules as seen in Deathly Hallows.
Proffeser mcGonagall vs Bellatrix Letstrange. Definatly Mcgonagall. Voldemort vs Dumbledore well it would be a tie because Dumbledore is old and is weaker then what he used to be. But Voldemort is said to be feared of Dumbledore so if Dumbledore was younger Dumbledore would win.
After McGonagall beats Bellatrix she will help dumbledore defeat Voldemort. So Dumbledore and McGonagall all the way!
Neither. It would depend on luck. They are all evenly matched supposidly that is that Voldemort duelled Dumbledore and Minerva duelled Bellatrix.
I would guess Minerva McGonagall is more powerful simply because she is not a dark Wizard. Bellatrix cannot function as well without using the Cruciatus Curse, with which she drove Frank and Alice Longbottom insane. She is well known for using this particular spell.
That is about belief. I do believe that they are evenly match as the question asks which is more powerful not which is the better witch and the spells you use do not determand your power. However we are told that Bella is an extemly talented dueller, not unlike Voldemort. But we do know that McGonagall is powerful as well. I do believe that McGonagall uses an Unforgivable in the final battle however I cannot rememeber...
personally Minerva Mcgonagall.

Minerva McGonagall.
Bellatrix Lestrange, hands down. She would just use all of the devastating dark arts spells that McGonagall would refuse to usePersonally I Disagree with that I think McGonagall would win due to her sheer skill and loathing for Bellatrix just because dark magic is used doesn't mean it is going to win, proven in deathly hallows when Harry defeats voldermort without using an unforgivable curse.I don't know, however McGonagall might deside to use an Unforgivable as we know Harry does multiply occasions in DH and once in OotP.
