He communicated with Harry, but very seldom to retain the secrecy of his location. However, due to his use of exotic birds, Harry suspected him of hiding somewhere in the tropics. Harry grew to greatly rely on Sirius' advice in time of need.
When Harry was mysteriously entered in the Triwizard Tournament , Sirius hid in a cave near Hogsmeade, where Harry, Ron, and Hermione occasionally visited him. He did this in order to provide Harry with moral support and advice during this hard time. This, in turn, caused Karkaroff to land himself on the wrong side of Death Eaters still loyal to Voldemort, one of the names he gave up was Augustus Rookwood.
Harry told Sirius about seeing Barty Crouch when he was working on the second clue on his way to the prefect's bathroom. Sirius admitted that it was fishy, but told Harry to focus on the task at hand and leave the mystery surrounding Crouch's "illness" to others.
Sirius contacting Harry through the Floo Network. When Barty Crouch mysteriously disappeared in the castle grounds after Harry left to retrieve Dumbledore, Sirius warned Harry that someone did not want Crouch to get to the headmaster.
He advised Harry to continue his practice of defensive spells and to never wander off on his own, as times were dangerous.
Following the final task of the tournament, Dumbledore summoned Sirius to his office to meet with Harry, who had barely survived an encounter with Lord Voldemort. Sirius wished for Harry to be allowed to rest for his ordeal but was overruled by Dumbledore.
As Harry explained the night's events Sirius nearly interrupted twice and was greatly angered. He also showed signs of strong emotion when he learned that shades of his old friends James and Lily had returned and hid his face in his hands.
Sirius was allowed to stay with Harry in the hospital wing in his dog form — Dumbledore telling Madam Pomfrey that he was very well trained — and remained so even as he heard Cornelius Fudge besmirch Harry and question his credibility on Voldemort's return. Once the Minister had left Dumbledore began making plans to resist the Dark Lord. He asked Sirius to resume his human form and make his peace with Snape, although neither was pleased Sirius also frightened Molly Weasley when she first saw him as she believed him to be a murderer.
Sirius promised to see Harry again soon and left to fulfil his instructions. With Lord Voldemort restored to his physical form, Dumbledore reinstated the Order of the Phoenix , sending Sirius to gather the "old crowd" and inform them of the situation. Unfortunately, as he was still wanted by the authorities, Sirius could never safely leave the house and became quite bitter over his perceived "uselessness".
When he briefly left the house to see Harry to the Hogwarts Express , Draco Malfoy nastily complimented Harry on his "pet dog," which, coupled with comments Malfoy made on the train, suggested that the Malfoys recognised Sirius in his Animagus form. Harry and Sirius stayed in touch during Harry's school year via owls and the Floo Network , though Sirius' presence was nearly discovered by Dolores Umbridge during her dictatorial managing of Hogwarts that year.
During Harry's fifth year, some of the adults discredited Sirius' ability to parent Harry and often insinuated that Sirius acted like Harry was James, rather than being a proper father figure to Harry. Throughout Harry's hardships with Umbridge, Sirius encouraged him to oppose her reforms and strongly approved of Harry's secret defensive tutorial group for students, Dumbledore's Army.
His vigorous support of Dumbledore's Army worried Hermione, who thought that Sirius was attempting to live vicariously through them. He also willingly answered all of Harry's questions about the Order and Voldemort, though most of Harry's mentors felt Harry was too young to handle the burden of the truth. During his time confined to the Order's headquarters, Sirius fell into a deep depression.
When Harry and the Weasleys arrived at Grimmauld Place just after Arthur was attacked by Nagini , Sirius was unshaven and still in his day clothes late at night. He also seemed to have taken to drinking, as he had a " Mundungus-like whiff of stale drink about him ". However, Sirius made a complete turn-around when the Weasley family and Harry decided to stay at Grimmauld Place over the Christmas holidays for its proximity to St Mungo's, and at one point was heard singing "God Rest Ye, Merry Hippogriffs" at the top of his lungs.
Harry's false vision of Sirius being tortured in the Department of Mysteries. Voldemort used Legilimency to implant a false vision into Harry's mind that Sirius was being tortured in the Department of Mysteries , convincing Harry that Sirius had in fact been captured.
After giving Severus Snape a cryptic message informing him of the situation and then ditching Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest, Harry, along with Ron, Hermione and fellow D.
The students made their way through the deserted Ministry of Magic and gained access to the Department of Mysteries , only to be ambushed by Death Eaters. Black was seen fighting bitterly with an unknown Death Eater. Then he pushed Antonin Dolohov , which tried to curse Harry and use the Summoning Charm on the prophecy. Tragically, however, during a frenzied duel with his hated cousin Bellatrix, Sirius was struck with an unknown spell which caused him to fall through the Veil in the Death Chamber to his death.
Harry also blamed himself for Sirius' death. In the aftermath of Sirius' death, Harry, enraged and grief-stricken, unsuccessfully attempted to take revenge on Bellatrix before Voldemort arrived, even attempting to use the Cruciatus Curse.
After a short duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort, the latter fled, but not before he was seen by Cornelius Fudge himself and several other Ministry officials, finally forcing them to abandon their smear campaign against Dumbledore and Harry and admit the truth to the world.
With that done with, Dumbledore successfully convinced the Ministry that Sirius was innocent all along and managed to get him cleared of all charges posthumously. Black did not get married or have children. As the portrait of Phineas Nigellus , Black's deceased great-great-grandfather, stated, the direct line of the ancient Black family ended with Sirius' death.
Having no great love for 12 Grimmauld Place, the house that held so many painful memories for Sirius, Harry chose to give it to the Order of the Phoenix for their continued use as Headquarters.
Kreacher, forced to serve Harry by Black's will, was sent to work as a Hogwarts house-elf in the school kitchens an imposition which did nothing to improve Kreacher's hatred of Harry. Buckbeak passed back into Rubeus Hagrid 's care under the assumed name "Witherwings". It was discovered that Sirius along with others had a file kept by the Ministry of Magic while it was under Lord Voldemort's control in It was kept in Dolores Umbridge 's office. The document listed Sirius' blood status , his status of his family and his security status.
Because he died in the service of the Order of the Phoenix his picture had a giant red X crossed over it. Black had given Hagrid an enchanted, flying motorbike sixteen years prior at Godric's Hollow after Black discovered the Potters had been killed. After begging Hagrid to give him baby Harry - a request Hagrid refused because he had orders to take young Harry to Little Whinging - Black gave Hagrid the bike before setting off to hunt down Peter Pettigrew.
The bike was in Hagrid's possession until it was needed to bring Harry from Number 4 Privet Drive to Order Headquarters shortly before Harry's seventeenth birthday. The bike ended up crashing, as the Order was ambushed by Death Eaters. Ted Tonks collected the debris and sent it to Arthur Weasley , who later repaired the bike.
A resurrected Sirius talking with Harry in the Forbidden Forest. Sirius Black was one of the four shadows that were summoned by the Resurrection Stone to speak to Harry as he went to what he believed to be his death on 2 May , Black assured his godson that dying was not painful, that it was faster and easier then falling asleep.
He also promised Harry that he and the others would stay with him as he went to confront Lord Voldemort and would stay to the very end. When Harry reached the fire, he allowed the stone to slip from Harry's hand, thus his parents, Sirius, and Lupin vanished. James Sirius 's personality was very similar to Sirius'. Sirius was a tall, well-built, darkly handsome man with fair skin, medium, lustrous black hair [10] , which sometimes appeared light in the sun, striking grey eyes, [11] and an air of "casual elegance"; Harry also noted that as a teenager, Sirius always had a slightly haughty look on his face.
This vestige of aristocratic beauty and haughtiness is apparently an attribute passed down through the Black Family. When Harry entered into Snape's memory, he saw a sixteen-year-old Sirius finishing his exams while being ogled by a girl who sat a few rows behind him, due to his considerable good looks and casual yet elegant attitude. Unfortunately, Sirius' handsomeness - much like his imprisoned cousin, Bellatrix - suffered due to the depression and maltreatment he underwent during the twelve years he spent in Azkaban.
As a result, Sirius had prematurely aged beyond that of a man in his thirties. He had a gaunt, sunken face, waxy skin, yellow teeth, and long, matted hair.
Harry thought he looked as a corpse might. By November, after his escape, he visited Harry in the Common Room fireplace, and he was described as having short, clean hair and a fuller, younger face, though his physical appearance had yet to fully recover from his imprisonment.
Unfortunately, by the next spring, his condition deteriorated, and he reverted back to a state that was only slightly better than that which he had been in a year ago: unshaven, with a faint scent of stale drink around him, and he did not bother to change his clothes at night presumably a result of his "imprisonment" at the home he utterly despised and his conviction of his apparent uselessness.
He was also branded with a series of tattoos over the chest and arms. Death, however, served to restore him to the peak of his good looks and vitality — his spirit was described as " tall and handsome, and younger by far than Harry had ever seen him in life. He loped with an easy grace, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face ". Sirius was true to the ideal of a Gryffindor student. He was true-hearted and brave, as shown by his participation in both wars and willingness to die for those he loved.
He was particularly loyal to his best friend, James Potter , a fellow Gryffindor. In his youth, he was a witty and talented wizard, but also quite an arrogant and mischievous troublemaker, and sometimes, a bully.
He bullied and humiliated those he particularly disliked, namely Severus Snape. He was vicious towards those he hated, sometimes unjustifiably — deliberately sending the teenage Snape off to the Shrieking Shack when Remus Lupin was a full-fledged werewolf , while knowing that it could be fatal for Severus.
He, along with James, were acknowledged to be some of the most brilliant students Hogwarts had ever seen, as proven by their ability to become Animagi as underage wizards and by the creation of the Marauders' Map. The result of Sirius' nasty temper, the Fat Lady 's portrait in shreds. As an adult, Sirius was shown to be capable of an explosive temper when angered, a trait shared by his mother, Walburga Black , and his mad cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. His years in Azkaban contributed dramatically, which was especially evident during and trying persistently to capture Peter Pettigrew , going to lengths that even Dumbledore commented as not those of an innocent right-thinking man.
Later on, he occasionally demonstrated himself to be reckless, immature, and even downright irresponsible. In several instances, he risked getting caught by the Ministry because he felt stir-crazy in his house, and advised Harry to take rash actions. Much of this can likely be attributed to the vast amount of time spent in jail, which stunted his emotional development and making him especially eager to spend time with and protect his loved ones.
However, through it all, Sirius had good intentions. For all his wrath and vengeance toward Pettigrew, he was capable of respecting Harry's request to not murder the man he escaped Azkaban to kill; opting instead to expose Pettigrew a plan that unfortunately failed, with catastrophic results. Despite this hatred for Snape, Sirius did display shame for his treatment of him in their youth.
He also seemed to have possessed a superb mental control that contrasted sharply with his passionate and impulsive nature. The fact that he was able to completely resist the psychological effects of the Dementors for so many years suggests that he had an unusually strong sense of self, and therefore was capable of withstanding long periods of emotional torture and despair. Besides all this, Sirius seems to have some traits related to his Animagus form of a dog.
Such examples are when James Potter points out Snape, and Sirius is described as " perfectly still like a dog smelling a rabbit. Sirius' other dog-like traits include his need to protect his loved ones, his selfless nature, great sense of loyalty, and his need to be part of something bigger than himself, such as when he helped to plant the seeds of Dumbledore's Army and encouraged and enabled Harry to further the movement against Umbridge's increasingly totalitarian hold over Hogwarts.
His territorial protectiveness over the places and people he cared for were always evident, given how he stayed in his dog form for Harry after his encounter and duel against the newly resurrected Voldemort in Little Hangleton, comforting his godson in plain view of many people, including Cornelius Fudge, who still thought he was a criminal, at great personal risk to himself.
Sirius was described as a powerful wizard by his former teacher, McGonagall. Remus also once stated that he had been one of the cleverest Hogwarts students of his time. Black demonstrating his Animagus ability in King's Cross Station.
Sirius duelling during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Sirius' cousins Bellatrix Lestrange his murderer and Narcissa Malfoy. The nature of Sirius' relationship with his family during his early childhood is unknown, but at the age of eleven, he earned the severe disappointment and disapproval of his family by being Sorted into Gryffindor house at Hogwarts. Sirius, in turn, became increasingly rebellious, flaunting his house affiliation and disdain for his family's pure-blood values.
His relationships with his mother and cousin Bellatrix became particularly antagonistic; Walburga disowned Sirius when he left home at the age of sixteen, burned his name off the family tree, and even treated her brother, Alphard , to the same punishment simply for leaving money to his nephew.
Little is known about Sirius' relationship with his younger brother, Regulus , as he never spoke about it. It was revealed, however, that Sirius had wished that Regulus had not been foolish enough to go with what their parents told him to do, and was rather upset with losing his little brother to the Death Eaters at such a young and promising age.
It can be theorised that he would have been comforted if he had known that his brother had died defying Voldemort. Sirius' Uncle Alphard on the Black family tree. Sirius later claimed to have " hated the whole lot of them, " referring to his family, aside from his cousin Andromeda , who also rejected the notion of blood purity and married a Muggle-born wizard.
After his escape from Azkaban , Sirius became friendly with Andromeda's daughter, Nymphadora Tonks , a fellow member of the Order of the Phoenix.
It can also be assumed that he at least had a more healthy relationship with his uncle Alphard than most of his family considering he left some inheritance for Sirius.
Walburga Black , Sirius' mother, on the family tree. He was killed by his cousin Bellatrix during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in a duel, during which both taunted each other; Bellatrix laughed after killing her cousin, overjoyed that she had simultaneously killed a "blood traitor" and caused Harry, her beloved master's most hated enemy, unbearable pain and heartbreak. It is unknown how his family reacted when he was arrested and thrown in Azkaban , after the public believed he betrayed the Potters to Lord Voldemort.
Kreacher , the house-elf. Since Sirius appears to be in his 40's or even 50's by the time the movies roll around, and he was imprisoned 10 years before Harry started Hogwarts, it might seem to some as if he was in his late 30's when he went through this trauma. But the truth is, Sirius was only 22 years old when he was thrown in Azkaban. James and Lily died when he was only 22, somehow making his story a lot worse. The movies also never quite emphasize just how intelligent Sirius was, meaning this often gets forgotten.
For one, he became an Animagus, which is something most people could never do; we know of very few in the series, and they tend to only be the best of the best.
Sirius not only managed to do this, but he did it while still in Hogwarts, meaning that his skill as a wizard—even as a student—must have been incredible. He was also said to have done well in his exams without putting too much effort in, meaning he was just naturally very clever.
Even in the books, no canon romantic interest is ever specified for Sirius. His eyes were fixed on Harry. Incarcerated for 12 years, but survived by turning into a dog so the Dementors could not deeply affect him. Escaped when he recognized Wormtail in a newspaper photograph.
