The ‘Harry Potter’ film series, while cherished by countless fans, often left us heartbroken by the deaths of certain characters. Nevertheless, with the impending arrival of a ‘Harry Potter’ television series, there's a chance to address these emotional wounds and provide redemption for some of these beloved characters. Let's explore a few of these ‘Harry Potter’ characters below.
Cedric Diggory
Cedric Diggory's (Robert Pattinson) amiable personality made his untimely demise in the ‘Goblet of Fire’ all the more poignant and difficult to bear. Adding to the heartbreak, Cedric's death could have been prevented if Harry Potter hadn't been so altruistic.
When Harry and Cedric both reach for the Triwizard Cup simultaneously, Harry insists that they grab it together to ensure Hogwarts's victory. Unfortunately, this well-intentioned act led to Cedric's tragic end. Perhaps in the remake, there could be a different outcome for Cedric, sparing him from his fate.
Sirius Black
The pain of Sirius Black's death still lingers, even after all these years. In the 'Order of the Phoenix,' Harry is deceived by Lord Voldemort into believing that his godfather is in peril at the Ministry of Magic. Rushing to Sirius's aid, Harry discovers the truth upon arrival, only to witness Sirius's tragic demise at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange during a fierce battle in the Department of Mysteries.

Harry's failure to master Occlumency, the art of shielding his mind from intrusion, allowed Voldemort to manipulate him and ultimately led to Sirius's death. Overwhelmed by guilt and a sense of responsibility, Harry mourns the loss of his beloved godfather. In the remake, fans hope to see Sirius Black spared from his fate, allowing for more poignant moments between him and Harry Potter to unfold.
Dobby
Dobby, the endearing House Elf, meets a tragic fate in the ‘Deathly Hallows: Part 1.’ His unwavering loyalty leads him to Malfoy Manor, where he bravely intervenes to save Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, and Ollivander from the clutches of Bellatrix Lestrange and her Death Eater allies.
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Dobby's final act of defiance proves fatal. As he prepares to aid his friends in their escape, his impulsive taunt allows Bellatrix to hurl a knife at him, striking him in the chest and ending his life.

Professor Quirrell
Professor Quirrell, initially portrayed as the timid Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts, is revealed to be a villainous pawn of Lord Voldemort in the climactic moments of the Sorcerer's Stone. In a shocking twist, it is unveiled that Voldemort's spirit resides within Quirrell's body, concealed beneath a turban.
While the movie provides limited insight into Quirrell's backstory, the book elaborates on his encounter with Voldemort in Albania. It is Quirrell's insatiable greed for power that leads him down a path of darkness, ultimately resulting in his downfall. Perhaps, in the TV remake, Quirrell's character could be explored further, offering him a second chance at redemption.
