Battle Death Death Eaters Notable Witches and Wizards Order of the Phoenix

Gideon and Fabian Prewett are killed by Death Eaters

"Gideon Prewett, it took five Death Eaters to kill him and his brother Fabian, they fought like heroes..."
-- Mad-Eye Moody (OP9)

It took five Death Eaters, including Antonin Dolohov, to kill Fabian and Gideon (OP25). Moody said they died like heroes (OP9).

Timeline Notes

The brothers appeared in a photograph of the Order of the Phoenix members that Mad-Eye Moody showed Harry at Grimmauld Place (OP9). Soon afterward, Molly Weasley had trouble getting rid of a boggart that appeared as a series of family members lying dead, perhaps because she was traumatized by the deaths of her brothers years before.

Hagrid mentioned their deaths when he first told Harry about Voldemort: "No one ever lived after he decided ter kill 'em, no one except you, an' he'd killed some o' the best witches an' wizards of the age -- the McKinnons, the Bones, the Prewetts -- an' you was only a baby, an' you lived" (PS5).

After Antonin Dolohov escaped from Azkaban, his picture appeared in the Daily Prophet with this caption: "convicted of the brutal murders of Gideon and Fabian Prewett" (OP25)
