When was dobby killed

Regardless, Dobby displayed a lack of foresight and common sense in his efforts to keep Harry from returning to Hogwarts in that by doing so he was putting Harry in danger in the long run by essentially ending Harry's education, which would have left him vulnerable to his enemies.

Not only that, he was unintentionally insensitive to the wishes and feelings of Harry, who loved Hogwarts and his friends, and Dobby was essentially trying to cut Harry off from the things in his life that gave him real joy and purpose. One most noticeable trait was his capacity to self-harm whenever he believed he had done something wrong, usually using something to hit his head with and going as far as to iron his own hands. Dobby clearly had a strong conscience, and punished himself even when he had done "wrong" things that house elves should not do, even if they were for the right reasons.

Dobby's favourite gift to receive was socks, likely because he was freed from his enslavement to the Malfoys with a sock. Dobby referred to himself in the third person and tended to get his verb conjugations mixed up.

Examples of his strange speech pattern include "I has seven now sir" [25] or "Dobby must punish himself most grievously for coming sir". He was extremely devoted to Harry after he freed him in , [6] helping him out on several occasions, ultimately at the cost of his own life. Dobby using his magic to Apparate.

Harry Potter , his best friend. Dobby and Harry Potter had a very strong relationship. Dobby loved and respected him very much to the point where he considered Harry to be his best friend. When Harry first met Dobby, he was a bit confused by the elf's devotion to keeping him safe from harm. Harry was furious when he found out Dobby was intercepting all of his friends' letters to him, and demanded them back while refusing to promise him to stay out of Hogwarts.

Lucius became angry and intended to attack Harry but Dobby protected him by using a defensive spell. Dobby may have realised that he underestimated Harry Potter, when Harry managed to stop Lucius' plot and survive the Chamber of Secrets. Dobby was appointed to work at the kitchen of Hogwarts Castle in the paid service of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore , though even as a free elf, his loyalty always laid foremost with Harry.

When Harry visited the kitchens and therefore Dobby, Dobby hugged him so tightly that Harry felt as though his ribs might crack. Dobby also asked if it would be alright if he visited Harry from time-to-time, with Harry responding with an of course.

In , Dobby told Harry about the Room of Requirement and how to get inside. It is a secret room inside Hogwarts castle and cannot be seen even on the Marauder's Map. Harry and his friends used the room in Dumbledore's Army 's meetings and practises.

In , Dobby had a fight with another house-elf, Kreacher after Kreacher insulted Harry. As they attempted to disapparate to Shell Cottage , Bellatrix Lestrange threw her silver dagger, mortally wounding Dobby in the chest. He dug a grave without using magic and held a small funeral for Dobby in the garden of Shell Cottage. The Malfoy family , Dobby's former masters. Dobby was the house-elf of the Malfoy family. Lucius became angry and attempted to attack Harry, but Dobby blasted him down a flight of stairs and forcefully told him to leave, with Dobby finally getting revenge on his former cruel master.

Dobby was eventually killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. Ron Weasley , a good friend. Dobby first met Ron Weasley in in the Hogwarts kitchens, where Dobby worked. When Dobby talked with Harry and Ron about his life as a free elf, Ron started to like Dobby, and offered him a maroon sweater his mother had made, making the house-elf excited.

However, Ron didn't agree with this. However, he was killed during the battle by Bellatrix Lestrange. He also gave Dobby his shoes and socks to be buried in. His death seemed to finally drive home to Ron the sorry life that house-elves lived, as during the Battle of Hogwarts , Ron voiced the opinion that they should evacuate the house-elves, or else risk another death like Dobby's. Dobby, as an inadvertent result, thus helped Ron and Hermione begin their relationship.

Overcome by his thoughtfulness towards elves, Hermione kissed Ron for the first time. Hermione Granger , a good friend. Hermione Granger also met Dobby for the first time at the Hogwarts kitchens, where the latter worked. Hermione appeared to like Dobby, because he loved his freedom and because he wanted to make the other house-elves want freedom too. However, the house-elves stopped cleaning those places once they found the first of the clothes, as they didn't want to take them.

Thus, Dobby cleaned Gryffindor Tower by himself, taking and wearing all of Hermione's knitted clothes. Dobby then brought them to Shell Cottage but was killed by Bellatrix by her throwing a knife and stabbing Dobby during the Apparition. Dobby was first seen with Winky, a female house-elf , in Winky excitedly told Harry that she knew Dobby, too; they evidently were friends previous to even though their relationship was only first displayed that year. It is likely that they met in the company of their masters, as Winky's master Barty Crouch was a high-ranking ministry official and Dobby's former masters the Malfoy family were well-connected and influential socialites.

Unlike Dobby, who loved his freedom, Winky was depressed and thought she was useless. So, Dobby tried in vain to convince her that she could live without serving the Crouch family by finding them both jobs at Hogwarts. Kreacher , whom he disliked and fought with. Dobby presumably met Kreacher, another house-elf , in late when Harry sent Kreacher to work in the kitchens of Hogwarts, and they did not have a good relationship.

In , they fought in the hospital wing because Kreacher had badmouthed Harry. Harry attempted to make them stop, but then Peeves appeared and encouraged them to hit each other. During the scuffle, Dobby managed to hit Kreacher in the mouth hard enough to knock out half his teeth — it is unknown how Kreacher grew them back or if he ever did.

Although each movie included the key characters from the source material, the stories of many were ignored in the sequels, which deeply affected their future appearances. Such was the case of Dobby, the elf, one of the most beloved characters from the Harry Potter books , and a character whose death was wasted in the movies.

Dobby was a house-elf who served the Malfoy family. Although he spent a big part of his life as a servant to this family of dark wizards, Dobby was a brave elf and disobeyed his masters to warn Harry Potter of their plans to have the Chamber of Secrets reopened. Dobby was later freed thanks to Harry tricking Lucius Malfoy into giving him a sock, but Dobby wanted to work and get paid, so he made a deal with Albus Dumbledore to work in the kitchens of Hogwarts.

Once there, he looked after another elf, Winky, and became close friends with Aberforth Dumbledore. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title. The funeral of Dobby was held in the spring of in the garden of Shell Cottage on the outskirts of Tinworth , Cornwall , to pay respects to the late house-elf.

His burial was conducted by Harry Potter , and his eulogy was given by Luna Lovegood , though the others he rescued also gave a few words of gratitude and respect. Before they could contact Voldemort to alert him to their capture of Harry, Bellatrix Lestrange spotted the Sword of Gryffindor among the prisoners' possessions. She panicked, as she had believed that the sword was in her vault in Gringotts along with an item extremely important to Voldemort.

Dobby prepares to Apparate the prisoners out of the cellar. Bellatrix isolated Hermione for interrogation and ordered that the other prisoners be taken to the dungeons below, where Luna Lovegood and Garrick Ollivander were also being held. While Bellatrix tortured Hermione with repeated use of the Cruciatus Curse , Harry and Ron desperately tried to escape the dungeons.

Harry frantically screamed for help while catching a glimpse of a two-way mirror. The other mirror was held by Aberforth Dumbledore , who sent Dobby the house-elf to Harry's assistance. Harry and Ron then rushed upstairs; Hermione had lied under interrogation, claiming that the sword was only a copy, and Griphook had supported her story when questioned.

Satisfied, Bellatrix pressed her Dark Mark , calling Voldemort. She held a knife to Hermione's throat to force Harry and Ron to back down, but Dobby returned and sent the chandelier crashing down from the ceiling. Bellatrix released Hermione to leap out of the way, and while Ron retrieved an unconscious Hermione, Harry grabbed several wands from Draco and Dobby disarmed Narcissa Malfoy. Ron disapparated with Hermione, and Harry grabbed Dobby and Griphook followed.

As they vanished, Bellatrix threw her knife at them. When Harry arrived at Shell Cottage, he was horrified to find that Bellatrix's knife was protruding from Dobby's chest. As a character, Dobby held a peculiar place in the order of things. He was something of a misfit — a house-elf who liked servicing people, but enjoyed his freedom.

It was a dynamic that could make sense under the benevolent watch of Albus Dumbledore at Hogwarts, or with the resistance once Voldemort came to power. But once Voldemort was defeated, what role would Dobby play?

Spending the rest of his years at Hogwarts? It's an unsatisfying existence for someone like him, who's full of ambition but wired to be a house-elf. He's a character in limbo, and it would be hard to find a coherent existence for him in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," where the events of the main series is just a memory. Dobby's time had come to an end. By killing him in "Deathly Hallows," Rowling raised the stakes for the battle to come.
