Harry Potter: 16 Most Devastating Deaths Ranked From Worst To Best

"To the well organised mind, death is but the next great adventure."

By Sara Weir /

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows was published in 2007 with the last film adaptation (or at least the second part of it) released in 2011. It's been a few years since the public has had any new Harry Potter information released from J.K Rowling, but there are still a number of fan theories appearing almost daily online. The latest being that certain characters are associated with The Tales of Three Brothers where Dumbledore is Death who greets Harry as an old friend. So whilst death is inevitable (and is now in the form of Albus Dumbledore), there aren't any new surprises in terms of which character does die in the Harry Potter series. So whenever you feel like being welcomed back home to Hogwarts through the books or the films, there aren't any secrets left, but a whole load of emotions that will take you right back to the first time that you read or saw your favourite fictional people losing their lives. So whether there is still some emotional attachment associated with the characters of Harry Potter, take a look over at some of the most tear invoking, saddening and 'looking for your mama in a panic' deaths that the series had to offer.
