Hedwig is the best character of the entire Harry Potter series
When Harry Potter needed a friend and someone to turn to, he would talk to Hedwig and turn to her. Which makes her one of the best characters in the Harry Potter series.
Hedwig was there for Harry from the start. When Hagrid took Harry Potter to Diagon Alley, he bought her for the Boy Who Lived and from then on, Hedwig and Harry were together through thick and thin.
In the end, Hedwig even dedicated her life to saving Harry Potter when the Death Eaters were coming after him in Deathly Hallows. Hedwig not only was a character who was there for Harry when no one else was but she also would do anything for him.
Yes, I suppose part of that is because she was, at the end of the day, his pet but Hedwig was more than just an owl he brought to school with him. She was his friend and had her own personality and card about Harry and his well-being.
The animals of the Harry Potter series had their own personalities and their own journey that is beautiful but it also means that characters like Hedwig were so important to us. She was always there for Harry, even when his friends were not and getting to see how she supported him and risked her life for him is one of the most upsetting moments in the entire series.
So, here is to Hedwig. You were there for Harry and made sure he was safe and that is what makes you one of the best characters in the entire Harry Potter series.
