Focus on Harry Potter: Kreacher
Kreacher Facts
- Kreacher is a fictional magical creature in the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling and the Warner Bros. film series. He is an aged house-elf, sworn to serve the Black family.
- Kreacher was an unwilling servant to Sirius, mainly due to his devotion to his former masters (Regulus Black in particular, who had treated him well), but also because of Sirius’s rather harsh treatment (because to him, Kreacher was a living reminder of a home he had had no intention of returning to). The house-elf therefore more or less openly expressed his dislike for his master and his guests at any opportunity - despite Hermione’s attempts to befriend him - and his desire to leave and serve the next pure-blooded kin of the Blacks, the Malfoy Family and Bellatrix Lestrange.
- Kreacher plays an important part in the book when he betrays Sirius and convinces Harry Potter to go to the Department of Mysteries, where a trap has been laid, to save him. Sirius is killed in the ensuing combat.
- Kreacher also plays an important role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When Hermione guesses that one of the Black heirlooms they had tried to get rid of is one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes (namely Salazar Slytherin’s Locket), Harry and his friends manage to coax the current whereabouts of the locket from the house-elf, and also learn to their horror about how Regulus had exchanged the Horcrux at the cost of his own life. Before Harry sends Kreacher to retrieve the locket from Mundungus Fletcher, he gives the old elf the fake Horcrux locket of Regulus as a token of remembrance.
