Harry Potter Deaths Ranked: Saddest to Most Satisfying

The Harry Potter series gave us magic and plenty of moments that made us question our emotional stability. J.K. Rowling didn’t shy away from delivering some truly devastating deaths. Some had us sobbing into our butterbeer, while others? Completely satisfying, huh?

In this ranking, we’ll take a trip down memory lane, from the deaths that shattered us to the ones that, dare we say, sparked a little satisfaction.

The Heartbreakers

Sirius Black

Losing Sirius was like a gut punch. Just when Harry found a family member who truly cared for him, Rowling snatched him away through the Veil in Order of the Phoenix. We haven’t recovered since.

Dobby

If you didn’t cry when Dobby declared himself a “free elf” with his dying breath, you might be a Death Eater. His heroic act in Deathly Hallows was both beautiful and painful. Plus, the way Harry buried him without magic? Oh, dear God!

Fred Weasley

Losing half of the Weasley twins felt like Rowling personally aimed a Sectumsempra at our hearts. Fred’s death during the Battle of Hogwarts was one of those “no, no, no” moments that left us reeling. Fans are still emotionally scarred, you know!!!
