The Godfather of Harry Potter
Sirius Black is an important character in the Harry Potter literary and film saga. These novels by J.K. Rowling tell the story of Harry, a young English boy who has been living with his aunt and uncle since his parents died when he was only one year old. On his eleventh birthday, he learns that he is a wizard and enters Hogwarts School. He discovered the hidden world of wizards. He also learns that his parents did not die in a car accident but were killed trying to protect him from the most terrible wizard who ever existed: Voldemort. At the beginning of the third book, we learn about the escape of Sirius Black from Azkaban prison, a supposed supporter of Voldemort. In the course of the story, Harry will learn that Sirius was in fact his godfather and that it is him who would have given the location of Harry’s parents to Voldemort. He would have also killed one of their friends, Petter Pettigrew. But in the end, we learn that Sirius remained loyal to his friends and that it was in fact Peter who denounced them to Voldemort and then turned into a rat. He thus put the blame on Sirius Black. In the end, although Harry knows the truth about his godfather, there is no proof and therefore he cannot be cleared. Sirius will make his return in the fifth novel/film to help Harry and his friends fight a band of mangemorts (Voldemort’s followers) but he will not survive.
