Best Answer

Technically, he didn't.

When Voldemort gave him his mutant hand, he didn't tell him that the hand was "cursed", in a way. When Wormtail was choking Harry in Malfoy Manor (Deathly Hallows), Harry reminded Wormtail that he owed him for sparing his life in the shrieking shack (Prisoner of Azkaban). Because of this, Wormtail let Harry go. However, when he did this, his own hand turned on him, and, even though Wormtail tried to stop it, it punished him for his act of mercy by taking his life.

Answer: In the cellar of Malfoy Manor (in the Deathly Hallows), Harry and Ron tackle Wormtail. Wormtail, defending himself, attempts to strangle Harry with his silver hand (given to him by Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire), but Harry reminds him that Wormtail owes him for Harry had earlier saved Wormtail's life. Wormtail releases his grip on Harry's neck, and slowly brings it to his own neck. Wormtail then strangles himself to death, because of his realization that he owes his life to Harry.

Answer: Wormtail's magic hand, which he got as a "gift" from Voldemort, strangled him. It was not Wormtail who killed himself. And it killed him for showing a moment of hesitation.

How does wormtails silver hand kill him in Harry Potter?

Wormtail is attacking Harry; Harry reminds him that Wormtail owes him (Harry) his life. Wormtail hesitates for a brief moment - and the silver hand, apparently somehow under the control of Voldemort, kills him for this moment of compassion. The hand grasps Wormtails throat, and smothers him. Harry tries to save him, but his spells don't work.
