Kreacher was so powerful that he was able to Disapparate where wizards could not, escaping the Inferi that surrounded the locket Horcrux. This wasn't something they had to learn, or something they had to harness: it's just something that they were.
Harry Potter once remarked that house-elves were actually much more capable of wielding advanced magic than wizards, despite not having wands. House-elves had access to their very own brand of wandless magic that only they could use.
Magic. All house-elves had their own brand of powerful magic, which allowed them to perform tasks, such as Apparating, where wizards and witches couldn't. Their abilities remained even after they were freed from their masters.
While seemingly evil to his core at first, Kreacher actually exists in a morally gray area. He is uncompromisingly loyal to the House of Black (save for Sirius) but also deeply flawed in his world perspective -- even stooping to petty racism in his views of half-blood or Muggle-born wizards.
The potion, (the same one Dumbledore drank) caused Kreacher to have nightmarish delusions, intense stomach pains and made him dehydrated. Voldemort then left, leaving Kreacher to drink from the lake (as any water conjured evaporated) and die at the hands of the Inferi.
Responding to a fan's question of what happened to him after the Harry Potter books ended, Rowling replied with the sad – and actually quite blunt – news that he had passed away. “He died, aged 666” she wrote. Oh. We always thought the Black family's House Elf actually looked older, anyway.
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 was the new master of Kreacher after the death of Sirius. However to confirm that Harry truly gained mastership over Kreacher, Dumbledore asked Harry to call Kreacher where at the Dursleys, he came, thus proving his obedience towards Harry.
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.
Narcissa and Bellatrix were kind to Kreacher because he was very much loyal to them, he followed each and every order of them. Also, Kreacher was not a muggle lover or blood traitor. So, there was no reason ro be harsh towards him.
It was said that they could do magic better than most wizards, and Harry had concurred with the statement. If the House Elves rose up against their mistreatment and banded together, they could easily outsmart Voldemort.
Honestly, Hermione knew Dobby was a lost case... nothing could have revived Dobby after the attack or she would have definitely helped Harry with Dobby considering she was the girl who started S.P.E.W(Society for the Elfish welfare) and fought for elf rights. There was nothing to be done at that point.
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.
Dobby could disarm with a snap of his fingers, send strong blasts to stun and disable opponents, and very efficiently perform charms like those of witches and wizards such as levitation and also tamper with magical objects.
Dobby was average in terms of magical prowess when comparing him to other house-elves. Others of his kind like Kreacher could also Apparate without any trouble.
He is closely associated with the Order of the Phoenix, and has explicitly denied the anti-Muggle/Muggle-born ideology of the Death Eaters. There is quite literally NO plausible way Hagrid could be or ever have been a Death Eater.
On turning eleven, Umbridge started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was Sorted into Slytherin and her head of house was Horace Slughorn.
Kreacher was absolutely brainwashed, but unlike many house elves and more like Dobby, he was less blindly loyal and highly intelligent, but very old, so he had no brute strength. However, he had mental manipulation and knew of treachery.
Notes and references. ↑ In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 24 (Rita Skeeter's Scoop), Hagrid tells Harry that he hopes he wins the Triwizard Tournament as "It'd show 'em all ... yeh don' have ter be pureblood ter do it." implying that Cedric is a pure-blood.
It's unknown what happened to Grimmauld Place when the Second Wizarding War was over, but even though Harry was not living in it, it's possible that it was kept safe for the Order of the Phoenix.
Many elves believe being freed by your master to be of the utmost dishonor. Kreacher believes in these same ideals, and his master's traditions had been ingrained in him.
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.
After his escape in 1993, Sirius gave the home over to the Order of the Phoenix to be used as a headquarters. The home required an arduous cleaning up to make it even remotely habitable. Much of this work fell to Molly Weasley and her children.
