They couldn't heal Dobby because he suffered a mortal wound from a magical knife, the injury was too severe and happened too fast, Hermione lacked advanced healing skills (and was likely in shock from torture), Essence of Dittany can't fix such damage, and house-elf physiology might differ from humans, making standard healing magic ineffective. The wound was deep and likely hit vital organs, proving fatal almost instantly, with no time for even a skilled Healer to intervene.
Dittany heals cuts and burns, but it can't cure a knife through the heart. Also Dobby died a lot quicker in the book (he only had time to say "Harry Potter" one last time), there was no time to help him (unless Harry had been a talented Healer or something).
Dobby doesn't hurt himself because he wants to. He does it because he has been conditioned to be punished for disobedience. Because that's how their magical bond with their masters works. Their pain isn't just physical: it's structural.
Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra)
Hermione just got tortured by Bellateix and I think Dobby was so badly injured that he could not be saved.
It never really was forbidden - just that certain places like the chamber there and the Hogsmeade secret entrance were the only things there. It was forbidden during Harry's first year of Hogwarts. It was out of bounds to everyone that did not wish to die a most painful death.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
Avada Kedavra does affect phoenixes, but does not kill them - instead, it causes their existing body to burst into flames and be reborn. Avada Kedavra does not kill a phoenix, since when their body 'dies', they are reborn from the ashes.
J.K. Rowling Apologised For Killing Dobby, But I Don't Think I'm Ready To Forgive Her.
He didn't need to process what happened, the sight of death processes itself subconsciously. Just seeing death alone isn't enough to see thestrals. You also have to process the death. That's why Harry didn't see them until the beginning of order of the Phoenix.
Dementors and Depression. “The dementors affect [Harry] worse than others because there are horrors in [his] past that others don't have.” – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Like Harry, those afflicted with a traumatic past are often more susceptible to depression in our world.
Hermione Granger became pregnant with her first child, Rose, after the Second Wizarding War, likely around 2005, and had her second child, Hugo, around 2007, both with Ron Weasley, after they settled down following the war, with Rose inheriting Ron's red hair and Hugo Hermione's brown hair.
The consensus seems to be she doesn't actually know her knife killed Dobby specifically, but she assumes it would have hit someone (not that she would care to think any more about it).
Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green. Because it was a mercy killing, not a cold blooded murder.
Harry Potter used Unforgivable Curses, such as the Cruciatus Curse, in extreme situations of emotion and distress. Harry used the Imperius Curse multiple times during the Gringotts heist to accomplish their mission.
Once snape realized this he said out of context “but he thinks it's her son.” Another way to say this more completely would be “I told Voldemort about the prophecy and I would be ok with whatever he decided to do, but HE THINKS ITS LILY'S SON HARRY and now he's going to kill the whole family and more importantly Lily ...
George's twin brother, Fred Weasley, was killed when the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts Castle, so George's life was likely significantly different after Voldemort's defeat. The two were hardly seen without the other before, and neither the books nor movies talk much of how George handled losing his partner in crime.
In both the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book and film, Hedwig dies during the Battle of the Seven Potters. In the book, Hedwig is hit by a random Avada Kedavra and instantly dies. In the movie, Hedwig is killed because she was trying to protect Harry.
The saddest scene in the Harry Potter series is the tragic death of Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts.
Most likely Voldemort's closest companion, Nagini was a Maledictus who had once been a human woman but due to this blood curse was now permanently a snake – losing all sense of humanity.
While Credence is a Dumbledore, he isn't the brother of Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. In fact, he's Aberforth's secret son! Aberforth met Credence's mother the same summer that Albus and Grindelwald met.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
