10 Movie Deaths That Completely Ruined You

After three films of building up Harry’s one familial relationship left in the world with the ultimate of cool uncles, Sirius Black, his death is one of the biggest gut punches in the series. Especially as it comes completely out of nowhere.

During a battle between the Order of the Phoenix and a bunch of angry goths (aka the Death Eaters), Sirius and his pals quite literally swoop in to save the day, saving Harry and the gang from certain destruction in the process. Only, when all seems well and done, a rogue killing curse hits Sirius and sends his mortal flesh through the Veil, leaving not even a body behind to mourn. Then Bellatrix has the cheek to sing about it.

Whilst a certain pillowcase-wearing elf passing on certainly tops the list for painful childhood memories, it’s this loss that served as the first - bringing about a much more real darkness to the franchise that only got worse as it went on.
