Sirius Black is one of the most beloved characters in the entire Harry Potter world. After initially being billed as a murderous criminal, we came to find out that Black was completely misunderstood. He also represented the father figure Harry simply never had. Though his life was in palpable danger, Sirius did his best to watch out for Harry in even the most perilous situations. His ability to transform into an animagus was pretty awesome — as was his ability to transpose his face into a ember-filled fireplace. During The Order of the Phoenix, Black was ruthlessly killed by his cousin, Lestrange.
