The Harry Potter Series ends with a bang Harry Potter and the Deadly HallowsAn installment that sees many lives lost and culminates in an epic battle against Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Throughout the book and the two movies, there are many tragic character deaths That audience never saw coming. These hit particularly hard and drive home the point that Harry and the other characters sacrifice a lot to defeat Voldemort. However, some people probably should have met their end The Deadly HallowsBecause that would be sinful in the narrative and deliver some justice.

The saddest deaths in the Harry Potter Movies happen to characters who are good and innocent and did not deserve to pay the ultimate price in the war against Voldemort. Although no character’s death is happy, some people, like Voldemort or Bellatrix Lestrange, have done so much damage and caused so much suffering that the story had to kill them off to make the conclusion satisfying. however, Many evil characters permeated the narrative And then faded into the background. moreover, Some heroes are destined to die through their character arcs That someone lived to the end.

Dolores Umbridge

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

There are few letters like hate in these Harry Potter series like Dolores Umbridge, And for good reason. When she gets to Hogwarts The Order of the PhoenixShe tortures Harry and the other children and turns the magical school into an oppressive and abusive environment. After Voldemort takes power, she continues to work for the Ministry and persecute Muggle-born wizards to remove their walls. When Harry, Ron and Hermione break into the Ministry, that’s the last she hears of the books.

After that, audiences are left wondering what happens to Umbridge after these Deathly HallowsAnd It is confirmed that she was sentenced to life in Azkaban After Harry defeats Voldemort. While this is punishment enough for Umbridge’s crimes, it still seems that she is on track to be one of the characters destroyed by her own selfishness and hunger for power. Although she wasn’t at the Battle of Hogwarts, there were other ways her actions at the Ministry could have led to her death, and that wouldn’t surprise anyone.

Percy Weasley

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

The Harry Potter Movies ruined Fred Weasley’s death, but the fact that he is a victim of the war in the first place is unbelievable. Conversely, Fred’s older brother, Percy, has a narrative reason to die during the Battle of Hogwarts. When Fred was killed, it was treated as a tragedy, but there was so much going on during the chapters that it was hard to fully process his death. In addition, there was no clear motivation behind Fred’s death other than the sadness it caused.

Percy Weasley’s character is a desire for power and notoriety in the Harry Potter Kino is somewhat overlooked, but his betrayal in the books is a devastating blow. throughout The Order of the PhoenixPercy denies that Voldemort is back and becomes estranged from his family. He doesn’t mess with the rest of the Weasleys until the Battle of Hogwarts. Then, he finally admitted that he was wrong and wants to make amends. While it’s nice that Percy is able to continue living and doing well, he would have made more sense as a casual as Fred.

Lucius Malfoy

It is improbable that all the Malfoys make it through history

Although Draco is one of Harry’s biggest rivals while at school, Draco’s father, Lucius Malfoy, is even more cruel and villainous. It becomes clear throughout 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 really believe in the cause. Since he was a child and deserved the chance to follow his own path as an adult, it was satisfying that Draco lived and that Harry got to see him again when they were adults in the epilogue.

However, it is not only Draco but both his parents who live through the battle because they try to stay out of the way. However, there is an argument to be made that Lucius’ death would have been poignant, as his cowardice and self-preservation was what led him to Voldemort in the first place and could have been his undoing. There were many senseless losses for the heroes, so It would have balanced things out if secondary characters like Lucius fell on the other side.

Professor Trelawny

Or one of the more minor Hogwarts professors

Professor Trelawney is unaware that she truly possesses the gift of sight Harry Potter. However, in The Prisoner of AzkabanShe predicts the events that unfold with Sirius and Peter Pettigrew. later, Harry finds out that she is the one who made the prophecy about Voldemort’s destruction, Which leads him to seek out the Potters and kill Harry’s parents. Her importance to the story and her influence on Harry’s fate would have made her death quite impressive.

moreover, Very few Hogwarts professors were killed during the Battle of Hogwarts And The Deadly Hallows Overall. Snape dies at Voldemort’s hand during the battle, and Charity Burbage is tragically captured by the Death Eaters early in the story. While the professors possess highly advanced magical skills, it is unlikely that anyone would have fallen during the battle when so many others. If it hadn’t been Trelawny who had been killed, it wouldn’t have been surprising to see another minor professor pass on.

Fenrir Greyback

As the werewolf that attacks Lupine, Greyback is an easy character to hate

The audience is first introduced to werewolves in Harry Potter By Remus Lupin, a wise teacher and fatherly figure in Harry’s life who does not use his transformation as a weapon. however, The man who turned Lupine, Fenrir Greyback, uses his wolf side to hurt others and aligns himself with the Death Eaters. While Greyback is not as prominent a villain as Bellatrix, being taken on by a member of the Order, or even Lupine herself, would have made his character arc.

Although he is not technically a Death Eater, all of the supporters and Death Eaters who survive the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter Finally, they go to Azkaban and are thoroughly punished. However, this does not make it easier to look back on their crimes. The fact that Lupine and Tonks both die in The Deadly Hallows And Greyback Gets to Live is a disappointing twist of fate. The damage he caused during the Battle of Hogwarts was also unforgivable, How he brutalized Lavender Brown.

3

Mundungus Fletcher

Although not an evil character, Mundungus has no loyalties in Harry Potter

It would be easy to blame Mundungus Fletcher for the death of Mad-Eye Moody in The Deadly HallowsAs Mundungus does not support the Death Eaters; He only looks out for himself. speaking through greed and cowardice, Mundungus flees at the first sign of trouble, leaving Mad Eye alone to fight off too many enemies, resulting in his death. Matters are made worse by the fact that Mundungus was the one who stole the Horcrux locket from Grimmauld Place and let it fall into Umbridge’s hands.

After telling Harry that he ransacked Grimmauld Place after Sirius’s death and disappeared, Harry does not hear from Mundungus again for the rest of The Deadly Hallows. It is not surprising that he does not put himself at risk in the battle of Hogwarts and leaves the difficult and dangerous work to the other characters. Overall, Mundungus is a character driven by selfishness, and while that doesn’t mean he has to die, His development was not finished, and a sacrifice could redeem 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 inconvenienced them. However, in the last moments, when they pack up The Deadly Hallows And saying goodbye to Harry is bittersweet. They may not have offered love or affection, however Their presence in his life was a form of protection, and not being with them was a loss of innocence for Harry. Despite the crucial role they play, Harry doesn’t think about them for the rest of the book.

It is unlikely that Voldemort would have thought of targeting the Dursleys, as they are not close to Harry, and they have no magical powers. However, the death of Vernon, or one of the Dursleys, would have been a shock and communicated to 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 had learned to be a little better by the end of the story.

Neville Longbottom

His journey paralleled Harry’s and it could just as easily have been Neville facing Voldemort.

Harry is shocked to learn that Neville could have been the child the prophecy was referring to, as they were born around the same time, and both of their parents were in the order. It came down to Voldemort’s belief that the prophecy was about the Potters sealing Harry’s fate And made Neville’s life seem ordinary. However, Neville also lost his parents, even if not in the same way, and he showed great bravery throughout the story, standing up to Voldemort and taking up Harry’s mantle when Harry was believed to be dead.

If Neville had died while Harry survived the killing curse for the second time, it would have been a full-circle moment in Harry PotterAnd Neville’s death would be one of the biggest in the books. Of Harry’s immediate friends, There weren’t many Hogwarts students who died during the battle, which would have given Neville’s death a huge impact. Furthermore, since there is a version of events where their roles are reversed, Neville should have died along with Harry when he sacrificed himself to Voldemort.
