Why should this be a joke question? If everyone's answer to questions on here was "read it yourself..." or "look it up yourself..." then it would become a pretty dull site.... for those of us not interested in reading the Harry Poter books, but interested in keeping up with what is going on in the world the answer is Sirius Black who I understand is Harry's Godfather.
Agreed Squirrel. When the first of these questions popped up, I thought I'd have a look just to see if anyone would actually give away the answer. I very soon realised that they had, and spent the whole book waiting for it to happen. Mind you, I didn't actually think that much of this one, the previous two were far better, IMHO.
Sirius Black, Harry's god father and convicted murderer of Peter Pettigrew. He falls into a mirror or something. Harry asked Sir Nicholas if Sirius could become a ghost but Nick says that he can't. Harry trys to use the mirror thing that Sirius gives him but it doesn't work between worlds (or Sirius might not have it with him).
sorry i didn't understand the question at once....yes sirius black harry's godfather dies in the fifth book.......and well that was the only family had left so he got very sad
