20 Greatest Moments In Wizarding World Movies

5. Dobby's Sacrifice - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One

Harry Potter is like the Disney movies: it has a real knack for providing traumatic childhood death scenes. This one, which sees Dobby die in the process of saving Harry and his friends from Bellatrix Lestrange and the Malfoys, is maybe the one that broke people the most.

After all, Dobby is one of the most loveable and adorable characters in any recent blockbuster franchise and seeing him die was always going to be unbearably sad. That being said, it's the bittersweet nature of this death scene that makes it so great and so damn powerful.

Dobby's final words, as he dies in Harry's arms on a beach, are: "Such a beautiful place... to be with friends. Dobby is happy... to be with his friend, Harry Potter."

Harry has rarely looked more broken than in this scene, which reflects how viewers will be feeling, but thanks to the way in which Dobby maintains his optimism and spirit to the very end, those tears will be both happy and sad ones.
