Hedwig's killer

"No! - HEDWIG!"

- Harry Potter upon seeing Hedwig killed.

Hedwig's killer was a Death Eater that fought in the Battle over Little Whinging. This Death Eater shot out a stray Killing Curse that killed the owl Hedwig. It is likely the curse that killed Hedwig was intended for Rubeus Hagrid. It is possible that, after Lord Voldemort's defeat in 1998, this Death Eater was either killed or imprisoned.
