Because of his loyalty to his friends, Dobby tried everything he could to save them if they were in danger, even if it hurt them, and once attempted to seriously injure Harry Potter, hoping that if he was hurt badly enough he would be sent home this led to Harry asking Dobby to never try to save him again after setting him free. 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.
Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs!
Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. By Adrienne Tyler Published Sep 22, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Among them is Dobby. Dobby's death does not only reflect the desire Harry's parents had to protect him but also echoes the death of Cedric Diggory in the Goblet of Fire.
Despite Cedric and Harry being pitted against one another in the Triwizard Tournament, they became friends or at least allies. Dobby and Harry get off to a similarly rocky start because of Dobby's troubling efforts to keep Harry from returning to Hogwarts.
Like Cedric's relationship with Harry, he and Dobby become friends by the end of their journey together. One factor that makes both Cedric and Dobby's deaths exceptionally tragic is their innocence. Unlike the other characters like Dobby who died for Harry, Cedric did so unknowingly. Cedric wasn't aware of the dreams Harry was having about the graveyard they found themselves ported to, nor did he know that the men he and Harry came into contact with were Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort.
In this manner, Cedric may even appear more innocent than Dobby because he only knew he was fighting out of defense, but not the severity of the fight. Unlike these other wizards, Dobby isn't trained in self-defense, making his bravery a bit more inspiring.
As a house-elf, Dobby is also the victim of severe mistreatment. Working for the Malfoy family of all families in the wizarding world , Dobby was subject to even worse treatment. Sirius Black, Harry's godfather was also the victim of severe mistreatment throughout the Harry Potter series. By killing him in "Deathly Hallows," Rowling raised the stakes for the battle to come.
