Death is frequent in the world of Harry Potter. In no specific order, we will look at the characters who died. Since there are over a hundred deaths, we won’t be looking at every death. Just the ones we can remember. Also, we’ll only add confirmed demises, and the person has a name. Also, some of these won’t be in the right section. For example, Professor Binns, who is a ghost, doesn’t die in the books but long before they start. Also, the deaths of the Bloody Baron and Helena Ravenclaw are referenced in Death Hallows, but we’ve included them in the first section because they happen prior to the books.
The deaths referenced will also include confirmed deaths from the Fantastic Beasts films. The Cursed Child play won’t be included because most of the deaths are due to the use of time travel and “fixing” the timeline.
