He was thought to be around 37 at the age of his death. Originally Answered: How old is Dobby in Harry Potter? This takes place before Christmas that year, which means the year is 1992, about twelve years after the fall of Voldemort. This means that Dobby is at least a teenager by this point in the books.
According to the WOMBAT test, it is possible that house-elves have an average life expectancy of 200 years, cannot be ordered to kill themselves, breed infrequently and only with their master's permission, can override wizard enchantments, and have an allegiance to their home rather than its inhabitants.
His life after the battle is unknown, although it can be assumed that he continued serving his master Harry, or perhaps he continued working in the Hogwarts kitchens. In 2017, J.K. Rowling revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Kreacher died at the age of 666.
↑ Harry describes Hokey as "the oldest house elf he'd ever seen"; at this point, Harry has seen Kreacher, whose latest date of birth is 1978, and he does not refer to Kreacher in the same tones, implying that Hokey was older in the 1950s-1960s than Kreacher was in the 1990s.
Harry describes Umbridge to Sirius Black, saying that she's vile enough to be a Death Eater, despite not being one. Umbridge is also depicted to be a prejudiced person, despising half-breeds and Muggle-born witches and wizards to the point of firing Hagrid due to his half-giant birth status.
Kreacher eventually grew quite friendly towards Harry and company, especially after Harry gifted him the locket, and started cooking for them, cleaning the house, and reminding him to wash his hands before dinner. Harry also congratulated him when he succeeded in capturing Mundungus Fletcher.
Dobby, voiced by Toby Jones, has a height of 3'6” (1.06 m). When we first meet Dobby, he is a house elf for the Malfoy family, having worked for them for many years. He is small, with large green ears, and wears a pillowcase as an outfit.
J.K Rowling doesn't go into so much detail in the books about what Dobby eats. However, in the words of Hermione, "House-elves are people too." Knowing that house elve are creatures similar to humans, I would say that he eats what any other regular witch/wizard would eat.
Domestic beings that were magically bound to their designated master or mistress, house-elves were usually found in the service of old wizarding families, such as Draco Malfoy's family, and were not paid.
Why didn't Hermione do anything in the 7th movie when Harry asked her to help him with Dobby? She was weak after the torture thing Bellatrix did to her.
When Dobby's last words before dying in Harry's arms are "Such a beautiful place, to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter."
Apparently, Umbridge's mother was a Muggle and her brother was a Squib – a source of huge embarrassment for the family. Perhaps their abandonment and retreat back into the Muggle world had such a huge impact on Umbridge that it became the catalyst for her Muggleborn-targeted cruelty later on in life.
She showed a particular hatred for Harry Potter, as she had no qualms about violently punishing Harry during detentions (though it is possible Fudge told her to be harsh on him).
J.K. Rowling has answered this question with one of her new stories on Pottermore. In her history of Dolores Umbridge, she stated that Umbridge was in Slytherin.
Dobby was born on June 28th. While this may seem like just any other date, its actually the same birthday as J.K. Rowling's sister, Dianne. Dianne loves Dobby, so Rowling gave them the same birthday.
A house-elf who served in the House of Black, Kreacher's loyalty to the Black family was absolute and undying. He also absorbed the anti-Muggle beliefs of the Black family.
Dobby wanted to be free and get paid. He was totally, absolutely grateful to Harry for freeing him. Kreacher, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. He was devoted to his mistress, long dead. Kreacher hated Muggle born witches and wizards like Hermione.
Dobby's loyalty to Harry Potter was driven by gratitude reaching back years. Dobby defied House Elf rules to protect Harry, often at great personal risk. The heartwrenching sacrifice Dobby made to save Harry solidified his heroism and loyalty.
Dobby was a house-elf, much shorter in stature than humans, standing only about 3 and a half feet (1.06 m). He had large, tennis-ball-like green eyes, a pencil-like nose and long, bat-like pointed ears.
