Hedwig is Harry Potter's pet owl. Harry received her for his eleventh birthday and took her home to the Dursley's every summer. There, Hedwig was his only friend and his way to remain connected to the wizarding world as she would bring him letters. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban she flew to all of his friends to make sure they would remember his birthday.

When she was killed in the last book, it was to symbolise the end of Harry's childhood and his innocence.
