Amikus Carrow is unlikely to have any positive emotions from any of the readers. This is a fairly negative character, but interesting in its own way. It's time to reveal the details of the life of the book hero and find out why he switched to the dark side and became a death eater.
Young years
Carrow was born into the family of purebred magicians. They were listed on the "Sacred Twenty Eight" in the British Isles. It is likely that his relatives are twins Gestia and Flora, who also studied at the Slytherin faculty. Amikus himself graduated from the same faculty. The director at that time was Professor Damboldor.
Participation in the first war
Brother Carrow, along with his sister Alekto, supported the Dark Lord. It was during the First Magic War that they joined the ranks of the Death Eaters.
When Voldemort fell in 1981, Carrow's henchmen did not participate in the search, thereby saving themselves from imprisonment in Azkaban. But they did not take the path of correction, and with the advent of the Dark Lord they again joined the Death Eaters.
Activities during the Second War
It was in this battle that Amicus Carrow and her sister showed what they were capable of. They first appeared in 1995 at the Little Hangleton Cemetery. There is no direct evidence for this, but Voldemort has not once blamed them for their absence.
In 1997, or rather June 30, a brother and sister took part in the attack on the Hogwarts school together with the younger Malfoy. The latter was required to destroy Professor Dumbledore. Rising to the top of the Astronomical Tower, Brother Carrow taunted Albus because he would not live to old age. By the time Snape appeared, it was Amicus who stated that the younger Malfoy could not cope with his assignment. Then Severus did what the teenager could not do, he killed Director Dambdor. Snape ordered Alekto and Amikusu Carrow to leave school.
But immediately failed to do this. First, I had to fight one of the Weasley children. But Carrow used forbidden torture spells and managed to escape. Fortunately, Ginny Weasley did not suffer, because Harry Potter was nearby and was able to create a magic shield around the girl, thereby protecting her.
The adventures of the Dark Lord's henchmen did not end there, and after the battle with Professor McGonagall they had to finally retreat.
After that there was a meeting of the Death Eaters in the Malfoy house, at which the Dark Lord ordered the capture of the Magic Ministry along with the Boy Who Survived. Amikus attended the meeting.
Jobs at Hogwarts
In the final installment, Carrow begins to teach at Hogwarts. Many readers are still interested in the question: “Why did Amicus Carrow become a professor of defense against the dark arts?”
In fact, everything is simple. Death Eaters needed allies at school. They tried to convert all students to their faith and did not teach them to protect themselves. Brother and sister Carrow came up with very sophisticated punishments, such that in comparison with them, Professor Umbridge seemed like a cute kitten.
It was Amicus who was the first to apply Unforgivable spells to students, although at the time of Dumbledore they put him in Azkoban for this.
During the battle for school, Amicus Carrow is not able to open the door to Ravenclaw Tower, because he does not know the answer to the question. But he finds a way out and brings Professor McGonagall and forces him to open the door, spitting in her face. Harry Potter cannot ignore such an act and answers Carrow with the Cruciatus spell. The unconscious Amykus Minevra binds, casts the Imperius spell and forces him to follow.
Amicus Carrow turned out to be a negative character who is unlikely to want to change. But with the help of such heroes, the bright sides of others are even better felt.
