Dobby

Background

Dobby is a house elf for Lucius Malfoy.

During the events of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) played by Toby Jones

Harry Potter walks into his room and finds Dobby jumping on his bed. Dobby introduces himself and when Harry asks him to sit down, Dobby tells him he hasn't met many decent wizards that treated him as an equal and then punishes himself by hitting his head on Harry's furniture. Dobby warns Harry not to go back to Hogwarts due to a plot to make terrible things happen at the school. Dobby admits to Harry that he hid all of the mail his friends sent him and runs away from Harry downstairs. Dobby sees the cake Aunt Petunia made and uses magic to levitate it. Harry slowly follows the cake with his arms outstretched to try and grab it as it travels towards Mrs Mason. Dobby snaps his fingers and the cake falls on Mrs. Mason's head, covering her in cake. After his arm is broken, Dobby appears on Harry's bed. He tells Harry it was him who stopped the barrier from letting Ron Weasley and him onto the Hogwarts Express and also made the Bludger chase after him. Dobby tells Harry he is treated poorly by his family and he can only be free if his master presents him with clothes. Dobby warns Harry, history is to repeat itself, but refuses to tell him more. Later, Lucius Malfoy walks into Albus Dumbledore's office with Dobby and is upset to see Dumbledore back at Hogwarts. Dumbledore shows Lucius the journal that was used to entrance Ginny Weasley and Dobby motions at Lucius to Harry. As Lucius is leaving, Harry hands him the journal and accuses Lucius of sticking it in Ginny's pail at the bookstore. Lucius hands Dobby the journal and tells Harry to prove his accusation. Harry tells Dobby to open the journal and Dobby finds one of Harry's socks inside of it. Dobby becomes free due to Lucius presenting Dobby with clothes and as Lucius is about to attack Harry with a spell, Dobby defends Harry and Lucius threatens Harry.
