He did not make the rogue bludger chase Harry out of malicious intent, but because he was trying to save him from Lucius Malfoy's plot to open the Chamber of Secrets. Regardless, Dobby displayed a lack of foresight and common sense in his efforts to keep Harry from returning to Hogwarts in that by doing so he was putting Harry in danger in the long run by essentially ending Harry's education, which would have left him vulnerable to his enemies.
Not only that, he was unintentionally insensitive to the wishes and feelings of Harry, who loved Hogwarts and his friends, and Dobby was essentially trying to cut Harry off from the things in his life that gave him real joy and purpose. One most noticeable trait was his capacity to self-harm whenever he believed he had done something wrong, usually using something to hit his head with and going as far as to iron his own hands.
Dobby clearly had a strong conscience, and punished himself even when he had done "wrong" things that house elves should not do, even if they were for the right reasons. Dobby's favourite gift to receive was socks, likely because he was freed from his enslavement to the Malfoys with a sock.
Dobby referred to himself in the third person and tended to get his verb conjugations mixed up. Examples of his strange speech pattern include "I has seven now sir" [25] or "Dobby must punish himself most grievously for coming sir". He was extremely devoted to Harry after he freed him in , [6] helping him out on several occasions, ultimately at the cost of his own life.
Dobby using his magic to Apparate. Harry Potter , his best friend. Dobby and Harry Potter had a very strong relationship. Dobby loved and respected him very much to the point where he considered Harry to be his best friend. When Harry first met Dobby, he was a bit confused by the elf's devotion to keeping him safe from harm. Harry was furious when he found out Dobby was intercepting all of his friends' letters to him, and demanded them back while refusing to promise him to stay out of Hogwarts.
Lucius became angry and intended to attack Harry but Dobby protected him by using a defensive spell. Dobby may have realised that he underestimated Harry Potter, when Harry managed to stop Lucius' plot and survive the Chamber of Secrets.
Dobby was appointed to work at the kitchen of Hogwarts Castle in the paid service of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore , though even as a free elf, his loyalty always laid foremost with Harry.
When Harry visited the kitchens and therefore Dobby, Dobby hugged him so tightly that Harry felt as though his ribs might crack.
Dobby also asked if it would be alright if he visited Harry from time-to-time, with Harry responding with an of course. In , Dobby told Harry about the Room of Requirement and how to get inside.
It is a secret room inside Hogwarts castle and cannot be seen even on the Marauder's Map. Harry and his friends used the room in Dumbledore's Army 's meetings and practises. In , Dobby had a fight with another house-elf, Kreacher after Kreacher insulted Harry. As they attempted to disapparate to Shell Cottage , Bellatrix Lestrange threw her silver dagger, mortally wounding Dobby in the chest.
He dug a grave without using magic and held a small funeral for Dobby in the garden of Shell Cottage. The Malfoy family , Dobby's former masters. Dobby was the house-elf of the Malfoy family. Lucius became angry and attempted to attack Harry, but Dobby blasted him down a flight of stairs and forcefully told him to leave, with Dobby finally getting revenge on his former cruel master.
Dobby was eventually killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. Ron Weasley , a good friend. Dobby first met Ron Weasley in in the Hogwarts kitchens, where Dobby worked. When Dobby talked with Harry and Ron about his life as a free elf, Ron started to like Dobby, and offered him a maroon sweater his mother had made, making the house-elf excited. However, Ron didn't agree with this. However, he was killed during the battle by Bellatrix Lestrange. He also gave Dobby his shoes and socks to be buried in.
His death seemed to finally drive home to Ron the sorry life that house-elves lived, as during the Battle of Hogwarts , Ron voiced the opinion that they should evacuate the house-elves, or else risk another death like Dobby's. Dobby, as an inadvertent result, thus helped Ron and Hermione begin their relationship. Overcome by his thoughtfulness towards elves, Hermione kissed Ron for the first time.
Hermione Granger , a good friend. Hermione Granger also met Dobby for the first time at the Hogwarts kitchens, where the latter worked. Hermione appeared to like Dobby, because he loved his freedom and because he wanted to make the other house-elves want freedom too. However, the house-elves stopped cleaning those places once they found the first of the clothes, as they didn't want to take them. Thus, Dobby cleaned Gryffindor Tower by himself, taking and wearing all of Hermione's knitted clothes.
Dobby then brought them to Shell Cottage but was killed by Bellatrix by her throwing a knife and stabbing Dobby during the Apparition. Dobby was first seen with Winky, a female house-elf , in Winky excitedly told Harry that she knew Dobby, too; they evidently were friends previous to even though their relationship was only first displayed that year. It is likely that they met in the company of their masters, as Winky's master Barty Crouch was a high-ranking ministry official and Dobby's former masters the Malfoy family were well-connected and influential socialites.
Unlike Dobby, who loved his freedom, Winky was depressed and thought she was useless. So, Dobby tried in vain to convince her that she could live without serving the Crouch family by finding them both jobs at Hogwarts. Kreacher , whom he disliked and fought with.
Dobby presumably met Kreacher, another house-elf , in late when Harry sent Kreacher to work in the kitchens of Hogwarts, and they did not have a good relationship. In , they fought in the hospital wing because Kreacher had badmouthed Harry. Harry attempted to make them stop, but then Peeves appeared and encouraged them to hit each other. During the scuffle, Dobby managed to hit Kreacher in the mouth hard enough to knock out half his teeth — it is unknown how Kreacher grew them back or if he ever did.
Furthermore, Harry told both Dobby and Kreacher to go and spy on Draco Malfoy ; even then, they argued: When they reappeared to give a report, Dobby was angry that Kreacher hadn't informed him that he was going to Harry. Dobby didn't want it to seem like he hadn't been helping, as Kreacher was trying to make it out.
It is possible that, since Kreacher had contact with the Hogwarts kitchen house-elves, he had contact with Dobby, too, and their common ground caused a release of the bad blood, but it is unknown. Dobby might not have learned about Kreacher's change before he was killed in Kreacher looked like Dobby in appearance, but was angry and antagonistic in character. Dobby started his work at the Hogwarts Kitchens in , a year after he was freed by Harry Potter.
He loved his life as a free elf, something that the other house-elves who worked at the kitchens did not. They believed Dobby was mad and there was a great difference between their ideology and Dobby's, about a house-elf's life.
During the Battle of Hogwarts all the house-elves, with Kreacher as a leader, fought against the Death Eaters , without anyone ordering them to do so. Unfortunately, Dobby had died by then. Albus Dumbledore , his employer at Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , was considered by many people including Dobby as the greatest wizard of all time.
Dobby always admired Dumbledore, because he was kind to everyone, even to the house-elves , and because he opposed Lord Voldemort. He also permitted Dobby to call him as he wanted such as "a barmy old codger".
Dobby was very fond of Dumbledore and knew he would never insult him, but he was awed by Dumbledore's gift of freedom of speech. Aberforth Dumbledore , a good friend. Over the course of his employment at Hogwarts, Dobby became close friends with Aberforth Dumbledore , and spent much time at Aberforth's home in Hogsmeade , getting to and from the school through a secret tunnel.
On Wednesday, she apologised for killing Dobby, the house-elf freed after a trick by Harry Potter who went on to save him, Luna Lovegood, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, before they were turned over to Voldemort.
Unlike other characters covered in previous apologies, Dobby was not killed during the Battle of Hogwarts, the climactic war between good and evil on the school's grounds, but earlier in the Deathly Hallows novel. It's that anniversary again. This year, I apologise for killing someone who didn't die during the BattleofHogwarts , but who laid down his life to save the people who'd win it. I refer, of course, to Dobby the house elf. Rowling tweeted: "It's that anniversary again. This year, I apologise for killing someone who didn't die during the BattleofHogwarts, but who laid down his life to save the people who'd win it.
Last year, the author apologised for killing Professor Severus Snape, whose true allegiance on the side of good or evil kept readers guessing throughout the seven books, and for Fred Weasley and Professor Remus Lupin. He rebukes Bellatrix Lestrange, an in-law of the Malfoys, telling her "Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!
One of the reasons Dobby's death packs such a punch is because Harry never really appreciated him enough. Dobby was helpful, but he was also clingy and got on Harry's nerves.
For the most part, Harry preferred to have Dobby out of the way except for when he required his assistance. When Hermione came up with the idea for an organization that would help house-elves gain their freedom, Harry was initially dismissive.
Harry knew he never showed Dobby enough appreciation, and the guilt he felt over his death made him understand the far-reaching harm of the Death Eaters' lust for death.
He never got to make things up to Dobby and never got to say goodbye to the house-elf who idolized him.
As a character, Dobby held a peculiar place in the order of things. He was something of a misfit — a house-elf who liked servicing people, but enjoyed his freedom. It was a dynamic that could make sense under the benevolent watch of Albus Dumbledore at Hogwarts, or with the resistance once Voldemort came to power.
But once Voldemort was defeated, what role would Dobby play? Spending the rest of his years at Hogwarts? It's an unsatisfying existence for someone like him, who's full of ambition but wired to be a house-elf. He's a character in limbo, and it would be hard to find a coherent existence for him in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," where the events of the main series is just a memory. Dobby's time had come to an end.
