25 Most Dramatic Deaths In The Harry Potter Books - Ranked

6. The Riddles

Book: Before Harry's time at Hogwarts How they died: Killed by Voldemort Death: The Riddles were snobbish, unpopular and just all round unpleasant people and although no one really mourned their death, they were killed by a member of their own family, which no one deserves. Tom Riddle (Voldemort) killed his grandparents to eliminate the muggle roots of his family and then his father, for abandoning his mother. These deaths were the beginning of a very long and bloody journey for the wizarding world to endure.
