14 Harry Potter Deaths That Still Give Us the Chills

So many Harry Potter characters lost their lives battling the evil that Voldemort unleashed. Though each of them meant something important to the cause, these just tug a little more at the heartstrings.

1. Dobby

 Dobby was seriously so innocent. Even when he was making life difficult for Harry, it was all out of love. Watching him die takes a little piece out of us every time.

2. Hedwig

Harry’s first companion and friend, Hedwig helped Harry endure life at the Dursley’s – his own personal purgatory. Her choice to sacrifice herself in order to protect Harry ended a stage of innocence in the story.

3. Albus Dumbledore

He was Harry’s constant; the wise leader that everyone could trust and turn to. He never once gave up on Harry and was the greatest headmaster Hogwarts had ever seen. 

4. Cedrick Diggory

Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was so handsome and smart and ended up being a decent guy. You know it tugged at our heartstrings when he told Harry to take his body to his father.

5. Severus Snape

The guy we hated to love. He stayed in love with the same girl, even when she chose someone else and eventually died.  He protected Harry and all the students in Hogwarts despite being reviled by everyone. 

6. Remus Lupin

All he wanted to do was to help and as a result of his good heart, he’ll never get to meet his son. He struggled with his own demons and never put himself first.

7. Tonks

She was always so colorful and had the best style out there. She was a kick ass Metamorphmagus and honestly, we wish we had her talent.

8. Fred Weasley

Fred and George were never supposed to be separated; they completed each other. They felt like our jokester older brothers; who's going to help when we need a laugh now?

9. Sirius Black

Harry's chance at a normal life with a normal family was shattered when he lost Sirius. The poor guy finally got out of Azkaban and all he wanted to do is provide for Harry. He’s the best godfather we could ask for.

10. Alastor Moody

He wasn’t always our favorite character to look at, but he was dedicated to keeping Harry alive. He put himself in danger to fight for what he believed in. 

11. Colin Creevey

He was Harry’s biggest fan (or maybe stalker) but it was still really sad to see him go.

12. James Potter

He would have been so proud of Harry and died before he had a chance to teach him life's important lessons.

13. Lily Potter

She died saving Harry's life, how can we not mourn her?

14. Moaning Myrtle

 Alright, so we kind of pity her; it's brutal that her life was cut short and she was left to haunt a bathroom as a tragic result of bullying.
