He murdered Fabian and (GidESHIPFEWEL) the brothersiof/MollyWeasley (née Prewett).'"! He was not the only participant in the act, though, since "MadsEye" Moody informed Harry Potter years later that it took five Death Eaters to kill the “twowwizards)l°! whose murders were described as "priital!!”! Between the wars (1981-1995) _ In the year before the fall of Voldemort on 31 October 1981, Dolohov was captured and sent to Azkaban for his crimes."

Dolohov then spent the next 14 years in his maximum security cell surrounded by Dementors. His cell was close to that of Bellatrix Lestrange's.‘Second Wizarding War (1995-1998) Early in 1996, Dolohov, along with the Lestranges and several other Death Eater convicts, G80NpEU AZKABAN and rejoined Voldemort.

(On 18 June 1996 Lord Voldemort lured Harry Potter to the Ministry of Magic precipitating the Battle of ‘the Department of Mysteries. During the battle, Dolohov was paired with Jugson as the Death Eaters dueliing in the Death ‘Chamber ‘The Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters searched for the five students who had come to the Ministry with Harry Potter. They tracked Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom to a room off the Time Room, hitting the three of them with impediment Jinxes. When Dolohov began to alert the other Death Eaters as to their location, Hermione used Silencing Charm on him to prevent it. He retaliated with an unnamed curse which, despite being weaker than normal, because it was cast non-verbally, severely injured Hermione. With 2 kick, Dolohov broke Neville's wand and nose and then cornered Harry, wordlessly threatening him. However, he was momentarily distracted, giving Harry the chance to Body-Bind him.) Before several Order of the Phoenix members arrived, Dolohov recovered, and he was able to defeat Alastor Moody in a duel. He placed Neville Longbottom under Dancing Feet Spell and attacked Harry with ‘the same spell he used on Hermione, but most of the harm was blocked by Harry's Shield Charm. Then he tried used Summoning Charm on the prophecy in Harry's hand, but he was pushed by Sirius Black. He duelled Black where he seemed to get the upper hand but was again incapacitated by Harry with Body-Bind before he could hit Sirius with his signature spell. Presumably. Dolohov was captured in the aftermath of the battle by Aurors and returned to Azkaban.Death Eater plans In July of 1997, Dolohov was again at large following another Azkaban break-out. He attended the Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor that Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor, during the height of the Second Wizarding War Corban Yaxley and Severus Snape. summer and was seated between He was also impressed when Yaxley announced that he had placed Pius Thicknesse, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, under the Imperius Curse. He along with other Death Eaters, laughed when Voldemort insulted Bellatrix Lestrange and the Malfoy family, regarding Nymphadora Tonks marrying werewolf Remus Lupin.!2]Luchino Caffe Duel Main article: Luchino Caffe Quel "More, Rowle, or shall we end it and feed you to Nagini? Lord Voldemort is not sure that he will forgive this time... You called me back for this, to tell me that Harry Potter has escaped again? Draco, give Rowle another taste of our displeasure... Do it, or feel my wrath yourself” — Lord Voldemort punishing Rowle after he failed to capture Harry Potter'=™= Shortly after the Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic and placed the Taboo curse on Voldemort's name.

During the skirmish that ensued, Dolohoy nonverbally bound Ron Weasley with conjured ropes and slammed an invisible Harry Potterinto 2 wall with Expulso, but just before Harry dropped his wand, Hermione Granger hit Dolohov with a Full Body-Bind Curse. Dolohov's and Rowle's memories were then modified by Hermione shortly after.{"5) =~ This spell seemed to work well enough at the time, but it actually had not been very effective, as the three friends found out later when Harry had a vision of Voldemort Dotohov being hit with Petrificus Totalus by Hermione Granger forcing Draco Malfoy to torture Rowle; itis implied that Dolohov was subjected to the same punishment for their failure (and possibly also for summoning Voldemort unnecessarily when he was occupied with his search for the Elder Wand) by being subjected to the Gruciatus Curse!" Dolohov may have been among the Death Eaters assigned to keep an eye out for 12 Grimmauld Place, former headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and temporary hide-out for Harry, Ron and Hermione, as one of the Death Eaters mentioned watching the gap between houses 11 and 18 on the first of September was “the man with the twisted face’, a characteristic often used to identify Dolohov."4! The Death Eaters were able to find out Harry, Ron and Hermione’s location because Lord Voldemort’s name was Tabooed.A Battle of Hogwarts Corban Yaxley: “Definitely heard something. Animal, d'you reckon?" Dolohov: "That head case Hagrid kept a whole bunch of stuff in here.... Time's nearly up. Potter's had his hour. He's not coming." — Discussion regarding Voldemort's ultimatum"! During the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May 1998, Dolohov was seen fighting against Dean Thomas and Parvati Patil; Parvati shot a Full Body-Bind Curse at him in defence of Dean.!"5! Dolohov also murdered Remus Lupin ina duel.!"! The nature of Remus's death was not revealed, but his body was peaceful-looking,!"7] suggesting that Dolohov used the Killing Curse or his own curse, as neither left visible marks. After Voldemort called a retreat and gave Harry Potter one hour to turn himself over, Dolohov and Yaxley stood guard in the Forbidden Forest. Harry followed them to the Death Eater camp to confront Voldemort."8! When the battle later resumed, Dolohov was defeated by Filius Flitwick,""7) a former duelling champion. His fate following the battle is unknown, though it is possible that he was killed by Flitwick. It is also possible that he was sent back to Azkaban, if he survived, like other Death Eaters.Physical description Dolohov was described as having a “Jong, pale, twisted face" and as "burly", although not as large as the "huge" Thorfinn Rowle."3] He had also dark hair“! As a Death Eater, he bore the Dark Mark on his left inner forearm. Personality and traits Antonin Dolohov Dolohov was extremely loyal to Lord Voldemort and was a merciless Death Eater willing to commit various atrocities without hesitation or regret. He showed no remorse about wounding sixteen-year-old Hermione Granger; in fact, he was grinning about it as he tried to persuade Harry Potter to hand over the prophecy they were fighting over. Dolohov was very proud when he defeated Alastor Moody in a duel, as Moody was a highly skilled wizard." Dolohov also displayed a highly arrogant and self-confident attitude and had developed a habit of engaging more than one opponent at a time or challenging powerful wizards such as the Prewett brothers, Moody, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Filius Flitwick. Dolohov was on friendly terms with his fellow Death Eaters, as he seemed to consider Yaxley and Thorfinn Rowle as close friends. When Voldemort spoke of how Charity Burbage supported Muggle rights and would permit breeding with them, Dolohov smiled in a confused fashion as if he literally thought that the idea of doing such a thing was disgusting, showing that he, like other Death Eaters, hated Muggles, Muggle-borns and most likely people who were half-bloods and blood traitors.""2] |ronically, however, his master was in fact half-blood. It is not mentioned if Dolohov knew or not about Voldemort’s true blood status.Magical abilities and skills “But the Death Eater Hermione had just struck dumb made a sudden slashing movement with his wand from which flew a streak of what looked like purple flame. It passed right across Hermione's chest; she gave a tiny ‘oh!’ as though cf surprise and then crumpled ‘onto the floor where she lay motioniess.” = Dolohov cursing Hermione Granger during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries!) One of the longest-serving, most devoted and sadistic of all of Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters, Dolohov was a highly powerful and dangerous Dark Wizard. His immense magical skills allowed him to go up against and defeat many powerful wizards and witches of great skill, including many Aurors and Order of the Phoenix members. * Duelling: Antonin Dolohov was an extremely skilful duellist, and was one of the most dangerous and feared Death Eaters. He participated in the Dolohov and Lucius Malfoy dueling murders of Gideon and Fabian __ Sirius Black and Harry Potter during ‘the Battle of the Department of Prewett, both highly Mysteries accomplished wizards, during the First Wizarding War.) During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he duelled Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom single-handedly, despite a Silencing Charm forcing him to use all nonverbal magic to do so. He incapacitated Hermione and broke Neville's nose, and Harry only managed to defeat him because he was momentarily distracted. Shortly afterwards, he defeated and injured Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, widely considered to be one of the best Aurors in recent times (and still highly respected even though he had retired). in a duel. He then went on to duel Sirius Black, and with whom he was equally matched until Harry knocked him out from behind.” When he and fellow Death Eater Thorfinn Rowle ambushed Harry, Ron and Hermione in 1997, Dolohov lasted longer than his partner, defeating Harry and Ron in the process, and was only defeated by Hermione Granger due to a sneak attack.""*! In the Battle of Hogwarts, Dolohov duelled and killed Remus Lupin.""*! a powerful wizard who was an expert in Defence Against the Dark Arts, although it must be noted that Remus was not at the height of his duelling skills as he had spent two months not dueling due to having to constantly watch over his pregnant wife and thus hishaving to constantly watch over his pregnant wife and thus his reflexes had been dulled, which contributed to Dolohov's success. However, although he put up a good fight, Dolohov proved to be unable to defeat the former duelling champion Filius Flitwick, who ultimately bested him and possibly cursed-to-kill."") Dark Arts: Being a sadistic Death Eater, Dolohov was highly proficient and talented in dark magic and the casting of dark charms, making him a formidable Dark Wizard. He was arrested for torturing Muggles and other enemies so it can be assumed that he was very competent with the Cruciatus Curse.2! He was also highly skilful with other dark charms, most notably the purple curse that he favoured on multiple occasions,” as well as the Expulso Curse'*] and Impediment Jinx.” Transfiguration: Dolohov was able to conjure ropes from his wand,""3] which implied he was highly proficient in this notably complicated branch of magic, as conjuration is an advanced form of transfiguration. Non-verbal magic: Dolohov was highly skilled at nonverbal magic as shown during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries when he was hit Dolohov casting a nonverbal spell with a Silencing Charm cast by Hermione Granger. Despite being unable to speak, he fought Hermione, Harry, and Neville all at once, incapacitating Hermione with his signature spell (although its effects were not as powerful).!”/ He was also able to cast the Incarcerous Spell non- verbally.{131 Charms: Dolohov appeared to be skilled with charms, as he was, able to cast the Summoning Charm ina failed attempt to get the prophecy from Harry Potter in 1996,” as well as the Dancing Feet Spell, which he successfully used on Neville Longbottom during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries..71 Spell creation (possibly): Dolohov's signature spell involved using a slashing movement with his wand which would shoot purple fire at his victim. He used this spell several times during the battle of the Department of Mysteries (Hermione was the only one to be struck).!7! Dolohov was the only known practitioner of this unidentified spell and may have even invented it himself.
