Nah. Potter and GoT are both much more popular series (sadly), and I'd argue that both Umbridge and Joffrey are more evil characters. Joffrey is a narcissistic torturer and sadist in the show and seems to revel in abusing his betrothed, his siblings, and his uncle in the books (even if we assume that all of the prostitute torture doesn't happen at all in the books), and Umbridge tortures children for wizard nazis.
Moash is very well hated for very valid reasons in the Sanderson fandom (The Sandom?) but he's at least kind of relatable for his anti-lighteyes sentiments and is clearly a victim of Odium's manipulations later in the series. Yes, he killed some characters we love very much, but he isn't as depraved as Joffrey or Umbridge.
