In her estimation, in an attempt to protect the true Harry's identity, Snape sacrifices Hedwig, thus keeping the other
When Hialmar abandons Hedvig, Gregers will exhort her to sacrifice the duck, her most precious possession, to prove her love for her father. Hedvig will enter the garret to kill the duck but end by killing herself in a chaste and bloodless suicide. She dies for her father's love.
In the book, Hedwig was killed as she sat in her cage by Harry's side – as she had so many times before – as they attempted to escape on the back of Hagrid's motorcycle. In the film, the scene was made even more heartbreaking, as Hedwig was killed while attempting to protect Harry from Death Eaters.
After the Potters were all immediately surrounded by death eaters Hagrid, while manoeuvring the bike accidentally tips it upside down which is followed nearly immediately with a killing curse sent right to Hedwig.
J.K. Rowling has stated before that she killed off Hedwig because her death was meant to represent the loss of innocence as Harry grew up and into adulthood (and stared down some Death Eaters). Her death happens during the Battle of Seven Potters in Deathly Hallows as the group is leaving Privet Drive.
For some reason I always thought Hedwig's death was the saddest. She and Harry were mad at each other before she died, and Harry was so distraught by it, and the poor thing screeched and fell to the bottom of the cage like a stuffed animal.
In her estimation, in an attempt to protect the true Harry's identity, Snape sacrifices Hedwig, thus keeping the other Death Eaters off his scent albeit for only a short time.
Why did Snape betray the Order during the battle of the seven Potters?
In 1998, Fred participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, defending the castle's passageways with his twin. While fighting alongside his brother, Percy, he was killed in an explosion possibly caused by Death Eater Augustus Rookwood.
"Hagrid is one of Voldemort's oldest associates, and knows his true identity" In Chamber of Secrets, it is revealed that Hagrid had been a student at Hogwarts during the same period that Tom Riddle (the true identity of Lord Voldemort) also frequented the school.
Both Lupin and Tonks die in combat, killed by Dolohov and Bellatrix Lestrange, respectively, leaving Teddy an orphan with Harry Potter as his godfather and Andromeda Tonks as his guardian. JK Rowling has since stated that she originally intended for both Lupin and Tonks to survive.
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid tells Harry that he 'don' like cats' because they make him sneeze, which is why he chose to buy Harry an owl, Hedwig, for his birthday present. J.K. Rowling has also confirmed that felines are one furry creature Hagrid won't be friends with owing to his allergy.
According to Rowling, Snape is the only Death Eater capable of producing a full Patronus, which, like Lily's, is a doe. Snape is a talented duellist, able to hold off by himself (if only briefly) a group of three Hogwarts professors that included former duelling champion Filius Flitwick.
No. Hedwig's death was the result of a random Killing Curse cast by a random Death Eater hitting her instead of Hagrid or Harry.
Spoiler: Hedwig still dies, but Harry had set her free from her cage before he flew off, and she came back to save his life.
The first, and arguably most impactful, deaths that occurred in the Harry Potter franchise are the death of his parents: James and Lily Potter (Sorcerer's Stone; Rowling, 1997). We later learn that James and Lily sacrificed themselves to protect one-year-old Harry from the dark wizard Lord Voldemort.
It is interesting also to note that Harry does not actually kill Pettigrew, but that Voldemort's gift kills him despite Harry's efforts to save him. Pettigrew's death is a reaction to his own attempt to kill, or at least, disable Harry, coupled with Voldemort's distrust of his own lieutenant.
Colin was expelled from Hogwarts in his sixth year, due to Voldemort's policy of not allowing Muggle-borns to attend the school. On 2 May, 1998, he snuck into the Room of Requirement with the rest of Dumbledore's Army and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, during which he was killed by Yaxley.
Harry, returning to the school, looks into the Great Hall and sees Lupin and Tonks lying among the dead. While this is not mentioned in the book, the author has mentioned in an interview since its publication that Tonks was killed by her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange.
Used it to sever the hand of a fellow Death Eater, who had been aiming at Remus Lupin's back during the Battle of the Seven Potters, but due to a slip, he accidentally cut off George's left ear instead, leaving him guilt-ridden.
I've always suspected Molly's lethal spell was a particularly well-placed and powerful stunner that stops Bellatrix's heart, which is consistent with the description of her death: Molly's curse soared beneath Bellatrix's outstretched arm and hit her squarely in the chest, directly over her heart.
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Fred and George are members of the Order of the Phoenix and serve as two of Harry's six decoys when he escapes Privet Drive. George loses one of his ears to Snape's Sectumsempra curse (which was aimed at a Death Eater's wand hand, but missed).
Also, when Harry spoke to Dumbledore after allowing Voldemort to hit him with the Killing Curse, Dumbledore revealed that he had given the book to Hermione in hopes that the trio would figure out the Deathly Hallows, but only gradually, so as to keep their focus on destroying the Horcruxes and to prevent Harry from ...
George has his ear cursed off by Severus Snape (by accident), who uses the Sectumsempra curse. When he recovers, he seems in good spirits, making jokes about his new, earless appearance and by saying that at least now their mother will be able to tell them apart.
