10 Smartest Decisions Made By Harry Potter Characters
1. Harry Gives A Sock Away - The Chamber Of Secrets
There are a lot of incredible moments throughout the Harry Potter series. Each story is full of memorable events and fantastic characters. It's why the series is such a hit. And one of the best characters in the entire series is the house-elf, Dobby.
When Harry freed Dobby, it was one of the best moments in the series. While Dobby has a small presence in the films, only showing up in the second and scarcely in Deathly Hallows part 1, he plays a much more significant role in the books.
Harry's act of freeing Dobby was one of the most intelligent decisions any character makes in the series.
The satisfaction felt by viewers and readers alike was palpable when Harry gave Lucious Malfoy a sock. Not only does it develop Harry as a caring character, but it introduces a unique character to the series, a free elf.
Dobby's freedom and subsequent employment at Hogwarts is why Moody can slip Harry Gilly weed in Goblet of Fire. Dobby acts as a spy for Harry, and he even went as far as cleaning the Gryffindor tower alone, while the other house-elves boycotted due to Hermione's SPEW initiative.
If Harry hadn't freed Dobby, it's likely Harry, and his friends would have never escaped the Malfoy manor.
