3 deaths caused by Professors Sprout and McGonagall
The giants were an aspect of the wizarding world that seemed fascinating even though they remained relatively unexplored in both the Harry Potter Books and movies (although JK Rowling’s novels go into a bit more detail about how Voldemort managed to convince them to join him). As Voldemort’s army breaks into the Hogwarts grounds in Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2The battle is bad and the arrival of the giants makes it look like the defenders have no chance.
Although they are not referred to often, the giants are a race of magical creatures who took up with Voldemort with the promise that they could come out of hiding.

Death Eaters killed at various points during the Battle of Hogwarts
14 deaths, including Fenrir Greyback
Many Death Eaters must have presumed that the Battle of Hogwarts would be an easy win. They were facing an army composed of mostly children after all, and Voldemort’s forces included some of the most powerful (albeit evil) witches and wizards alive today. However, they quickly learned that Harry’s allies were just as dangerous, and were more than willing to kill despite not being servants of the Dark Lord.
The defenders of Hogwarts put up a valiant fight against the Death Eaters and their allies, like Fenrir Greyback, who eventually make their way through the protective shell and into the castle itself. The young witches and wizards and their adult allies fight bravely and manage to kill 14 Death Eaters, at least on screen.

Voldemort’s anger gets the better of him

Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are dead
All three Order of the Phoenix members were killed at Hogwarts
Many fan-favorite characters lost their lives during the Battle of Hogwarts, and three that always stand out are Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks. During Harry’s walk to confront Voldemort, the dead defenders of Hogwarts are seen as their bodies are moved. Some of the bodies were familiar faces to Harry.
Lupine and Tonks are shown lying on a sheet next to each other, apparently having died fighting together. Their romance was one of the few bright spots in Voldemort’s bleak years that make their deaths particularly tragic. Fred’s death is even more terrible and maybe one of the most distressing in Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2 (Although it is much different and not as impressive as Fred’s death in the book). These three deaths are more excuses for him to go to the forest and finish the bloodshed..

Bellatrix Lestrange was killed by Molly Weasley
Molly Weasley defends her daughter from Bellatrix Lestrange
Not every death during the Battle of Hogwarts was tragic. Some were incredibly satisfying, such as when Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix LeStrange. Besides Voldemort himself, Bellatrix is ​​the most dangerous antagonist in the Harry Potter Movies, responsible for killing several characters including Sirius Black. On the contrary, Molly Weasley is one of the most beloved characters, and during the Battle of Hogwarts she showed that she was more than mild comic relief and a much-needed surrogate mother figure for Harry Potter.
After Harry is ‘killed’ by Voldemort, the defenders of Hogwarts continue fighting. After Bellatrix Lestrange casts a spell on Ginny Weasley, Molly Weasley quickly stands in front of her, protecting Ginny from any harm. It is only a short duel, however Molly ends up casting a curse that kills the evil witch and removes one of Voldemort’s top lieutenants. It is near the end of Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2 At this point in the story, Voldemort has lost nearly all of his powerful allies. For the first time, the Hogwarts defenders had the upper hand.

Nagini is decapitated by Neville Longbottom
Neville uses the Sword of Gryffindor on Nagini
Neville is an inspiring figure, growing in confidence every year, and through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, He is one of the leaders of the students of Hogwarts. He stands up to the Death Eaters, sabotages the Carrows, explodes the bridge, and is instrumental in defeating Voldemort. While he also took out scores of Death Eaters, Neville also struck a personal blow to Voldemort by destroying the ultimate Horcrux – Voldemort’s pet snake, Nagini.
As Nagini pounces on Ron and Hermione, Neville enters the frame and cuts the snake’s head off with the Sword of Gryffindor. With this move, Voldemort loses his last Horcrux and Neville becomes one of the rare few people to ever destroy one. Every character is important in the fight against Voldemort, especially Neville. It is also important to note that Nagini was not only a Horcrux, but was once a witch herself, and was simply trapped in snake form. This makes Neville’s killing of her even more impressive, as her human intelligence meant she was far more dangerous than a regular snake.

Voldemort was killed by Harry Potter
Voldemort’s death brings the series full-circle
It is appropriate that the final death of the film is reserved for the man who started everything. It’s changed a bit from the books, but Voldemort and Harry have a final confrontation at the end of Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2. When Voldemort’s spell rebounds, it hits the Dark Lord and kills him once and for all, erasing any evidence of him from the earth. This is the culmination of the 8th Harry Potter Movies; Voldemort’s dissolution into nothingness is an important visual to let the audience know that his evil is gone and Harry and his friends have won, without a shadow of a doubt.
Interestingly, Voldemort’s death happens very differently in these Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Novel. After Harry strikes the final blow, Voldemort’s body does not disintegrate. He simply dies like any other mortal, and his body is interned in a chamber at Hogwarts away from the Great Hall before being disposed of. It was an important moment, as it showed that, for all his power, Voldemort was still human. While his body collapsed into dust made for a great moment in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, It has lost some of the thematic impact compared to the book version.
Were there more deaths at the Battle of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books?
For the most part, the battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2 The novel accurately reflects the number of deaths. IIWhile it doesn’t show every dead eater dead or slain Hogwarts defender described in the books, it does an adequate job of insinuating the high fatality count on both sides. The movies also included many of the deaths of named characters, including relatively minor ones like Lavender Brown.
However, there were some moments in the books that the movie didn’t include that are worth noting. For example, Professor Camellia (a minor Hogwarts teacher whose subject is never fully clarified) was mentioned as one of the casualties, with her body being recovered by Professor Trelawny in a somewhat emotional moment. There were also some details about the death of said character, such as that Lupine was killed by the dead Antony Dolakhov in Duel.
The death not included in Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2 What stands out the most is that of Colin Creevey. Colin appeared in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie, and is the Muggle-born first year student who is a massive fan of Harry, and also one of the victims of the Basilisk. While Colin never appeared in any subsequent Harry Potter movies, he got involved in the books from time to time.
Colin bravely returned to Hogwarts to take part in the final battle despite the opportunity to return to his life of safety with his muggle parents. He was a completely innocent character every time he appeared in harry potter, Naive and mildly irritating yet a pet presence. His death at the Battle of Hogwarts was a poignant moment, and one that helped ensure the tragedy and sense of personal loss really hit home:
- “Then Neville nearly walked into it. He was one half of a couple that was carrying a body from the grounds. Harry looked down and felt another dull thump on his stomach: Colin Creevey, although he wasn’t old, must have gone back to sleep just like Malfoy, Crabbe and Guile did. He was tiny in death.“
- – Oliver Wood carries Colin’s dead body into the Great Hall
Since Colin Creevey did not actually appear in the Harry Potter Movies after The Chamber of Secrets It is understandable that Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows – Part 2 Did not include this moment. However, when it comes to the novel, Harry looking down to see the body of the underage wizard remains a jarring moment, and one that readers rarely forget.
