All three of the people in the world who have never read the Harry Potter series probably view it as a cutesy, childish series of whimsical adventure. However, seasoned Potterheads will tell them how mistaken they are. Tragedy is more common than uncommon starting in the fourth book, and many of the characters that we’d grown to know and love began to die. Though there are too many deaths to count in the series, these ten definitely stick out as the ten saddest. (Note: This is super subjective.)

“Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter.” More than anything, Dobby revered Harry. Everything he did was to keep Harry safe, and his tragic death in the seventh book showed that J. K. Rowling really wasn’t above killing anybody. Dobby was cute, kind, full of love and life, and desperate for freedom — youthful at heart despite years of abusive treatment at the hands of the Malfoys.
