10 Unlucky Movie Characters Who Didn't Deserve To Die

10. Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire - Frank Bryce

In both the films and the books, the one continuous flaw that has been raised about the Harry Potter universe is how its story never seemed to trickle into the Muggle world.

Despite the risk that a super-powerful fascist is planning to conquer the world through means of murdering children, muggle intervention is strangely lacking throughout the series. Imagine the surprise when in film (and book) number four, a Muggle by the name of Frank Bryce stumbles across a giant snake, a cloaked demon-baby and an unhinged David Tennant.

In the film’s opening scene we are treated to an unfortunate muggle encountering magic for the first time and immediately being discovered and disposed of. The books cast more backstory onto poor Frank Bryce, but in the films we are given no initial context as to who this man is other than he was a caretaker who overheard a plot to kill a young boy.

What’s worse is in a world filled with mind-tricking potions and spells, he’s not even given the opportunity to “forget” what he heard. Instead he’s blasted with a killing curse and swallowed by Nagini.
