Harry Potter Characters with the Saddest Back Stories
Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is characterised as a person of great complexity, whose coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish. He should be number one! He literally had no one expect Lilly Potter (Harry's mom) and he was so in love with her. But she never loved him, and she died and he was literally feet away from the door when Voldemort killed her. He gave EVERYTHING to make sure her son lived. And all he got was a painful death by the hands of Voldemort.
He was in love with Lily, but she didn't love him back, she probably thought they were just friends. And then Lily got taken by someone she truly loved, James Potter. And when she died he was feet away from the door and when he saw her dead body, let's just say things were a little unexpected. And he did everything to keep Harry safe and alive. And I also thought he was bullying Harry to be mean I realized that he really hated him because he was the son of James Potter-Jewel the RainWing
I feel like his past is sadder than Harry's. Because Harry's parents died, but at least they knew him and always loved him. Neville's past is worst because his parents didn't die but they were tortuted, and because of that they don't even recognise their son anymore. How sad must Neville feel... But he didn't even tell anyone that. Everybody knew about Harry's tragedy, oh it's so sad, but no one knew about Neville because he probably didn't want people to more worry. And even though his awfull past, he stayed strong and didn't go down. And his amazing strengh is moving.
Harry James Potter is the title character of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The majority of the books' plot covers seven years in the life of the orphan Potter, who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. His mum loved her sister she didn't know what would happen to her son and there was no other way so she had to put the spell for protection.
Locked in a cupboard for 10 years, what if his cot was in his cupboard? Bullied by Dudley and his gang, not fed properly (he had to do Dudley's diet remember), given Dudley's clothes, not told that he was a wizard his relatives wanted to force him into a muggle school, not allowed to parties like in the second book for example, forced to lie that he goes to some school for kids who break the law.
Remus easily had it the worst. He was ostracized & discriminated his entire life just for who he was. He found friends who supported him, but eventually was left all alone, believing that two were dead and the third was responsible. He lived alone and in poverty. 12 years later, he gets a teaching job (and was the best DADA teacher), only to leave after Snape outed him because of a stupid childhood grudge. He learns Sirius is innocent and gets his best friend back, only for him to be killed 2 years after that. Then he has a son and then Remus himself dies. And through it all he was a good and kind person (unlike Snape who was a whole blood supremacist).
It sucks that he grew up in a family that disowned him, was then framed for the murder of his friends, and then finally cleared his name and got to get close to Harry only to die not much later.
It is pretty much Harry who killed him in an indirect way. Harry did not learn Occlumency. Hermione bugged him to do it, but he so refused.
He died soon after telling Harry he was his godfather and clearing his name.
Rubeus Hagrid is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. Hagrid is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a half-giant and half-human who is the gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts, the primary setting for the first six novels... read more His mother, being a giant left he and his father young. His father passed away while he was at his second year at Hogwarts. Not long after that, he was expelled from Hogwarts over something he was falsely accused of.
Lord Voldemort is a fictional character and the central main antagonist in J. K. Rowling's series of Harry Potter novels. Voldemort first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was released in 1997. His mother died hours, HOURS, after his birth. He literally never met her or his father. He was raised in an orphanage, and he was different from other kids, so they were cruel to him. Even in Hogwarts, he didn't fit in. His life molded him into who he is now. Also, did you guys know Voldemort is not capable of love? Even if he tried, he can never feel love towards someone. At most, indifference or tolerance. Isn't that kinda sad? And ya know why? 'Cause he was conceived while his father was under the effects of a love potion. Kinda changes the whole story, doesn't it?
Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. HOW is he in fifth place. Albus Dumbledore belongs in the top three; at the very least. Initially, his sister was driven insane and made an obscurial; then his father got life imprisonment in Azkaban for attacking the people who drove her mad. Furthermore, his brother starts to detest him, and in the absence of love, Albus turns to Gellert Grindelwald, whom he eventually falls in love with but does not say so due to the homophobia of his time. There ends up being a duel between his brother and the man he loves, resulting in his sister's death and Grindewald's betrayal. There is a chance he killed his sister. His brother blames him and becomes estranged. He eventually has to duel the man he loves and ruins his life. Happiness.
Draco Lucius Malfoy is a character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is a student in Harry Potter's year belonging in the Slytherin house. Should be on the top! He was grown up in a rich family, where his father wanted him to be at Voldemort's side and he had a kind heart inside. He just couldn't and didn't wanted let his parents down. I totally understand that feeling and is struggle.
Draco is definitely not my favourite character, but I despised the way that he was treated by Voldemort in the last books and how he was portrayed as an evil character. Not only that, but his father was also placing pressure on him and it seemed that his mother was the only one who cared about him at all. While I understand that Harry is an orphan and never got a proper chance to meet his family, when he was at Hogwarts at least he had friends who understood him and loved him as a person.
Yeah House Elves are slaves of witches and wizards but Dobby had one of the worst being the Malfoy family.
When she was a kid she wanted to be a witch, even sent a letter to Dumbledore.
Every child would want to have magical powers, it would be a dream.
When she couldn't become a witch she just had jealousy instead and that's how she became the way she is.
She just want to be a people like her sister - Lily...
Depends if the Ministry would allow it.
Luna Lovegood was a witch from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. She was the only child of Xenophilius and Pandora Lovegood. Her mother accidentally died while experimenting with spells when Luna was nine and Luna was raised by her father, who was the editor of the magazine The Quibbler, in a... read more Poor Luna had to watch her mom die and then got bullied while at school for just being herself. It really sucks and I feel bad for her.
Poor sweet Luna what happened we should feel empathy that she lost her mother, she got bullied, and she is still her sweet sweet self
Spends his life fighting dark magic, son becomes a death eater, sends his son to Azkaban, son "dies" a year later, wife dies soon after in grief, son later comes back and kills him after being under the imperious curse.
Scorpius Malfoy was a kid dude but has a horrible dad. I'm not biased but I don't think Draco is that good of a dad. He expects too much from scorpius.
No! He killed Hermione's mother!
It's horrible how his brother whom he was so close have to die like that !
She had a blood curse and she had to die. She had to leave her husband and her beloved son Scorpius.
She died and left her son and husband! Tragic!
I think this one is funny, while reading the books I realised that a lot of bad stuff happened to her! Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it Susan's rabbit who died in the earlier books. From someone who has a pet I can totally understand the heartbreak.
Then a few years later we see how she is super nervous before the OWL tests. (In The Order of the Phoenix)
And then in her sixth year she is taken out of class because her mother died!
Yes it isn't the longest list of sad things but she should at least be under Luna. Who's mother also died. Susan wasn't bullied but she still had a sad life.
