Sirius Black Dies

There are a number of moments in the story arc of the Harry potter Movies and Books that epitomise tragedy.  Two moments in particular stand out for me both deaths, the first is mentioned here.  To understand the loss of Sirius Black you need to understand a little more about the character of Harry.  Harry Potter is a wizard born to two parents a witch and wizard names James and Lily.  They are both killed when Harry is a baby and as a result Harry is sent off to live with his Aunt and Uncle who despise him and raise him in such negligent and cruel conditions sleeping under the staircase in a cupboard, living on scraps and regularly deprived of food all along with no idea of who or what he really is.

With this being the only family Harry ever knew it is not surprising that this cruelty leaves him with no want or desire for warmth from them.  Then, as the story progresses Harry is eventually united with Sirius Black, his Godfather and good friend of his parents. Sirius was the closest thing to a real loving family that Harry experienced, despite the best efforts of his friends, and in particular Mrs Weasley his Best friend's mother.  As said in other posts about series and the growing connection with characters through character development, the Harry Potter franchise spans 7 books, [8 Movies] and in both cases it is the 3rd instalment in which Harry meets Sirius and the 5th in which Sirius comes to die at the wand of Bellatrix Lestrange, as depicted by the delightfully dark Helena Bonham Carter

I provide the clip here but for full effect you would really have to watch the Movie, and since it is the 5th you would probably have to watch at least the first and third Movies to feel the full weight of this scene.
