Which Harry Potter Characters Appear in All Seven Books Only to Die In Book Seven?


Which Harry Potter characters appear in all seven books, only to die in book seven? [MAJOR SPOILERS/CHARACTER DEATHS]


I can go either way on



Harry,




depending on your interpretation of the King's Cross chapter in Deathly Hallows.



Some feel he died; other believe it was more along the lines of a near-death experience. I'll accept either interpretation.




  • I'm not requesting this, but just as an FYI: It's fun to try and answer questions like this from memory before hitting up canon.

  • This is not a list question, as there is a finite number of characters who fit the question's criteria.


★ I'm looking for a canon-based answer (the seven Harry Potter novels, the three supplemental books, J.K. Rowling interviews, and Pottermore) and do not prefer an answer from either the HP Wikia or the Wikipedia.



NOTE: A few months ago I got an email from a fellow SFF.se user about the Harry Potter questions on the site. Now, I cannot find her email :/ She asked me this question as a personal challenge and I put it onto the back burner, but today I decided I would post it here and see if the user who emailed me will comment so I can fully credit her for the question.



Answer



Yes 100%:



  • Fred Weasley

  • Hedwig

  • Severus Snape

  • Vincent Crabbe


Yes if you count being mentioned in a book without being an active character:




  • Peter Pettigrew
    Appeared first as Scabbers, only got a flashback in HP5.

  • Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort
    This one is a bit iffy, as he did not appear as an acting character in HP3, and only appeared as a Horcrux/Tom in HP2.



Maybe (You can lawyer that they did appear, were implied, or whether they died):



  • Harry Potter (duh)

    It's disputed whether he died in DH in the first place.


  • Lavender Brown
    She clearly died in the movie but not 100% clear if she was merely severely injured in the book. All we get is:



    “NO!” shrieked Hermione, and with a deafening blast from her wand, Fenrir Greyback was thrown backward from the feebly struggling body of Lavender Brown.



    We know that JKR had a fairly big input into the movies, so presumably she was on board with a major items like who among recurring characters died.





  • Bloody Baron (As Slytherin Ghost) [ Did not appear in HP3 ]



  • Helena Ravenclaw (as Ravenclaw Ghost) [ Did not appear in HP3/HP4 ]
    Both ghosts didn't actually die in Year 7,
    ... but their death was first described in Deathly Hallows.
    Also, they weren't mentioned in 1 or 2 books explicitly,
    ... but it's assumed they still were house ghosts in Years 3 and 4.

  • Bathilda Bagshot (as author of "History of Magic" textbook).
    The class wasn't even mentioned in HP6
    ... but presumably taught

    and the textbook wasn't named after HP1,
    ... but presumed to be used in all years (no canon yea/nay).



Runner-ups:



  • Colin Creevey
    First appeared in HP2, was in every book since.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
