The saddest deaths in Harry Potter There are characters in the movies who were good and innocent and did not deserve to pay the ultimate price in the war against Voldemort. While no character’s death is a happy one, some people, such as Voldemort or Bellatrix Lestrange, caused so much harm and caused so much suffering that the story had to kill them off in order to reach a satisfying conclusion.

Dolores Umbridge

First introduced in Order of the Phoenix, she is an unforgivable character.

There are few characters in the series who are hated. Harry Potter series as Dolores Umbridge, and for good reason. When she arrives at Hogwarts Order of the Phoenixshe tortures Harry and the other children and turns the wizarding school into a repressive and abusive environment. After Voldemort comes to power, she continues to work for the Ministry and hunts down Muggle-born wizards to take their wands. When Harry, Ron and Hermione break into the Ministry, that is the last time she is heard from in the books.

After this, viewers wonder what happens to Umbridge after Deathly HallowsAnd it is confirmed that she was sentenced to life in Azkaban after Harry defeated Voldemort. While this punishment is enough for Umbridge’s crimes, it still seems like she is on her way to becoming one of the characters destroyed by her own selfishness and lust for power. Although she did not participate in the Battle of Hogwarts, there were other reasons why her actions at the Ministry could have led to death, and this would not surprise anyone.

Percy Weasley

Percy’s redemption arc could have gone in a completely different direction.

Harry Potter The movies have spoiled Fred Weasley’s death, but the fact that he became a casualty of the war at all is incredible. Conversely, Fred’s older brother, Percy had a narrative reason to die during the Battle of Hogwarts. When Fred was killed it was seen as a tragedy, but there was so much going on in these chapters that it was hard to fully comprehend his death. Additionally, there was no clear motivation behind Fred’s death other than the sadness it caused.

The character of Percy Weasley and his desire for power and fame in Harry Potter the movie is somewhat overlooked, but his betrayal in the books is a devastating blow. Through Order of the PhoenixPercy denies that Voldemort is back and moves away from his family. He does not reconcile with the rest of the Weasleys until the Battle of Hogwarts. He then finally admits that he was wrong and wants to make amends. While it’s good that Percy was able to continue living and doing good, he would have made more sense as a victim than Fred.

Lucius Malfoy

It is unlikely that all Malfoys will reach the end of this story.

Although Draco is one of Harry’s main rivals while he is at school, Draco’s father, Lucius Malfoy, is even more cruel and villainous. It is clear from the books that Draco grew up in a terrible home environment and that he was pressured to become a Death Eater and follow Voldemort, even though he didn’t actually believe in it. Since he was a child and deserved the opportunity to go his own way as an adult, it was nice that Draco survived and that Harry was able to see him again when they became adults in the epilogue.

However, not only Draco, but also both of his parents survive the Battle because they try to stay away. However, there is an argument that Lucius’ death would have been poignant, as his cowardice and self-preservation were what led him to Voldemort in the first place and could have been his undoing. There were a lot of senseless losses for the heroes, so everything would be balanced if minor characters like Lucius were on the other side.

Professor Trelawney

Or one of the most minor professors at Hogwarts.

Professor Trelawney has no idea that she actually has the gift of sight. Harry Potter. However, in Prisoner of Azkabanshe predicts the events that unfold with Sirius and Peter Pettigrew. Later, Harry learns that it was she who uttered the prophecy about the destruction of Voldemort. which causes him to search for the Potters and kill Harry’s parents. Her significance to the story and her impact on Harry’s fate would have made her death quite impactful.

Besides, very few Hogwarts professors are killed during the Battle of Hogwarts And Deathly Hallows general. Snape dies at the hands of Voldemort during the battle, and Charity Burbage is tragically captured by the Death Eaters early in the story. Although the Professors have highly developed magical skills, it is unlikely that any of them would have fallen during the Battle, as so many others have done. If Trelawney had not been killed, it would not have been surprising to see another minor professor pass away.

Fenrir Greyback

Greyback, the werewolf who attacked Lupin, is easy to hate.

Viewers are introduced to werewolves for the first time in Harry Potter through Remus Lupin, a wise teacher and father figure in Harry’s life who does not use his transformation as a weapon. However, Fenrir Greyback, who transformed Lupin, uses his wolf side to harm others and joins the Death Eaters. While Greyback was not as prominent a villain as Bellatrix, if he had been killed by a member of the Order or even Lupine himself, it would have forced his character to come full circle.

Although he was not technically a Death Eater, all supporters and Death Eaters who survived the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter will end up in Azkaban and be completely punished. However, this does not make their crimes any easier to remember. The fact that Lupine and Tonks both die. Deathly Hallows and Greyback survived – a disappointing twist of fate. The damage he caused during the Battle of Hogwarts was also unforgivable. when he brutally attacked Lavender Brown.

3

Mundungus Fletcher

Although Mundungus was not an evil character, he was not loyal to Harry Potter.

It would be easy to blame Mundungus Fletcher for the death of Mad-Eye Moody in Deathly Hallowsas if Mundungus doesn’t support the Death Eaters; he only cares about himself. Fueled by greed and cowardice Mundungus runs away at the first sign of trouble, leaving Mad-Eye alone to fight off too many enemies. which led to his death. The situation is made worse by the fact that Mundungus was the one who stole the Horcrux medallion from Grimmauld Place and allowed it to fall into Umbridge’s hands.

After telling Harry that he searched Grimmauld Place after Sirius’s death and disappearance, Harry does not hear from Mundungus again until the end Deathly Hallows. It is not surprising that he does not put himself at risk in the Battle of Hogwarts and leaves the hard and dangerous work to other characters. Overall, Mundungus is a character driven by selfishness, and while that doesn’t mean he has to die, his development remained unfinished, and sacrifice could have redeemed him.

2

Vernon Dursley

None of the Dursleys were heard from again after they left Harry for the last time.

Harry never had a good relationship with the Dursleys, as his aunt and uncle made it clear throughout his childhood how much his existence made them uncomfortable. However, in the last minutes, when they gather in Deathly Hallows and saying goodbye to Harry is bittersweet. They may not have offered love or affection, but their presence in his life was a form of protection, and their absence was a loss of innocence for Harry. Despite the crucial role they play, Harry does not think about them until the end of the book.

It is unlikely that Voldemort would have considered targeting the Dursleys since they were not close to Harry and did not have magical powers. However, the death of Vernon or one of the Dursleys would have been a shock and would have shown the audience that no one is safe from Voldemort’s wrath. This would also show that The Dursleys may not have been perfect, but they were important to Harry and became a little better by the end of the story.

Neville Longbottom

His journey mirrored Harry’s, and Neville might as well have faced Voldemort.

Harry is shocked to learn that Neville could be the child mentioned in the prophecy, as they were born around the same time and both of their parents were members of the Order. It all came down to Voldemort’s belief that the prophecy was about the Potters deciding Harry’s fate. and made Neville’s life normal. However, Neville also lost his parents, even if he didn’t, and he showed great bravery throughout the story, standing up to Voldemort and taking up Harry’s mantle when Harry was thought to be dead.

If Neville had died and Harry had survived the Killing Curse a second time, it would have been a full-circle moment in history. Harry Potterand Neville’s death would be one of the most notorious in history. Of Harry’s closest friends, Not many Hogwarts students died during the battle, which would have had a huge impact on Neville’s death. Also, since there is a version of events where their roles were reversed, Neville would have died along with Harry when he sacrificed himself to Voldemort.
