Draco Malfoy didn't get a full redemption arc in the books because J.K. Rowling intended him to remain morally gray, a product of his upbringing rather than inherently evil, but ultimately failing to make a definitive turn to good, leaving his change of heart incomplete and "off-page". While he showed signs of inner conflict, like failing to kill Dumbledore and protecting Harry at Malfoy Manor, these actions were driven more by self-preservation, fear, and his mother's influence than a complete rejection of his pure-blood ideology, making a true "redemption" unearned within the canon.
Draco doesn't have a redemption arc in the books. He doesn't because he doesn't earn redemption (redemption is not deserved). On the other hand, Snape has a clear redemption arc in the books. Draco's redemption arc happens "off page".
The theory among Potterheads is that the scene was scrapped because, in the original novel, the Slytherin students were never locked up in dungeons for the Battle of Hogwarts. Rather, when none of the Slytherin students wanted to stay and fight for their school, they were evacuated from the premises.
Basically Rowling reverted his character to the shallow one it was during the first five books and so Draco never got his redemption arc and probably never will.
Draco was meant to try and fail and then be killed in return. No one seriously thought a 16yo can get death eaters past Dumbledore's protections. So even though Draco didn't kill Dumbledore, he still executed his plan that led to Dumbledore's death and Voldemort was probably impressed enough to not kill or punish him.
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.
It was improvised by Ralph Fiennes after many takes without a hug. No one else on set knew he was going to do it, which is why everyone (especially Tom Felton) looked so freaked out.
The Malfoy's were billionaires and Harry was a millionaire. According to J.K. Rowling , Harry's net worth comes around to 319,995 galleons, which would work out to an amount of roughly 2.6 million dollars.
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.
Harry Potter (creative franchise): Were there any Slytherin students defending Hogwarts? There WERE Slytherins on Harry's side in the Battle of Hogwarts - at least in the book.
Draco Malfoy attended Fred Weasley's funeral, standing at the far back, careful not to be seen, and after he thought everyone had left, he lingered a bit.
Elder. The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, the elder wand is trickier to master than any other.
In 2007, Rowling was asked whether Dumbledore ever found true love. She replied that she always thought of Dumbledore as being homosexual, and that he had fallen in love with the corrupt wizard Gellert Grindelwald; Rowling did not explicitly state whether Grindelwald returned his affections.
Tom Riddle In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle- born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost.
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Voldemort again used wandless magic to move a dead giant out of the way (possible with Mobilicorpus) and to make his cloak extend and restrain Harry.
For someone like Voldemort who relies on secrecy, an omnipresent character like Dumbledore who be terrifying, particularly adding in his power and popularity. Another reason for Voldemort's fear could be also due to the fact that Dumbledore was already famed for defeating a dark wizard Grindelwald.
Because some snakes could sense heat and movement in a way humans could not, Nagini was able to detect Harry and Hermione even when they were under the Cloak of Invisibility. Harry fought with Nagini, and the serpent bit him before coiling herself around Harry to hold him in place for Voldemort.
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.
Because they are not living things. They are inanimate objects… the only horcrux that could be destroyed with Avada Kedavra was Nagini because she was a living thing.

First on our list is Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Known for his wisdom and powerful magical abilities, Dumbledore is respected and feared by many in the magical community.
He was having a mental breakdown due to trouble with the vanishing cabinet, worried about his parents, and realizing that being a Death Eater isn't quite what he hoped it would be. Plus he befriended Moaning Myrtle, I imagine her misery also rubbed off on him.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
Voldemort,the antagonist, only feared Dumbledore because of a few reasons. One reason why Voldemort feared only Dumbledore is because Dumbledore was the only one who saw Voldemort as a dangerous fanatic with a thirst for power and the goal to be able to live forever.
