In the book, Hedwig was killed as she sat in her cage by Harry's side – as she had so many times before – as they attempted to escape on the back of Hagrid's motorcycle. In the film, the scene was made even more heartbreaking, as Hedwig was killed while attempting to protect Harry from Death Eaters.
People know Hedwig is Harry's owl and she was attacked before, he might keep her in the cage so that she won't attacked or stolen by anyone(his enemies), until he got to somewhere safer.
According to her, Hedwig's death symbolizes the loss of Harry's innocence as he came of age, so it was very fitting for her to die during the Battle of the Seven Potters in the most obscure book of the series.
She was struck down by a killing curse when Harry and his friends — who were all disguised as Harrys thanks to the polyjuice potion — tried to leave Privet Drive at night, only to be tailed by a group of masked Death Eaters.
Many of the animals you see in films are computer-generated. However, while special effects were used in some owl moments in the Potter films, Harry's friend Hedwig was played by a number of real snowy owls. We even know these performers' names: Gizmo, Kasper, Oops, Swoops, Oh Oh, Elmo and Bandit.

Scabbers the Rat & Trevor the Toad Ron Weasley's fat rat named Scabbers was played by 12 different real rats in addition to a fake, mechanical one. During Scabbers' big candy-box scene on the Hogwarts Express, the mechanical rat was mostly used.
The theory surfaced on Tumblr, claiming that Snape was actually the Death Eater who killed Hedwig in order to keep the other Death Eaters from identifying Harry as the real one.
J.K. Rowling has said previously: 'The loss of Hedwig represented a loss of innocence and security.
The Deathly Hallows Part I begins with a whole bunch of double-crossing and betrayals. Snape betrays the Order of the Phoenix. A guy from the Ministry of Magic becomes a Death Eater, which is probably how the Ministry ends up falling. And that's just the beginning of the movie.
Hedwig was shot out of the sky, and Harry got absolutely zero seconds to react to it before he had to continue fighting for his own life, even having to destroy the side car with her body. There wasn't much consolation afterwards either, in my opinion.
According to legend, she went barefoot even in winter, and when she was urged by the Bishop of Wroclaw to wear shoes, she carried them in her hands. On 15 October 1243, Hedwig died and was buried in Trzebnica Abbey with her husband, while relics of her are preserved at Andechs Abbey and St.
Hedwig's killer is not explicitly identified, so he/she may have appeared in other books, films or video games, but the only known appearance is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. A popular fan theory based on book canon suggests that Snape may have killed Hedwig.
Harry's owl, Hedwig, is a beautiful Snowy Owl. [Call of Snowy Owl] Although Hedwig is portrayed as a female, “she” is actually a pure white, male Snowy Owl. Female Snowies are dusky brown. True to life, though, Snowy Owls are awake and active during the day.
Hedwig the Animatronic Owl Has Been Freed from Her Cage.

"Hagrid is one of Voldemort's oldest associates, and knows his true identity" In Chamber of Secrets, it is revealed that Hagrid had been a student at Hogwarts during the same period that Tom Riddle (the true identity of Lord Voldemort) also frequented the school.
The Death Eaters and the Dark Lord don't simply cast Avada Kedavra on everyone all the time because it doesn't suit their long-term goal of ruling the world and having a wizard-run society.
In order to preserve his position as a trusted Death Eater, Severus Snape was forced to tell Voldemort the true date at which the Order planned to move Harry.
Fortunately, the movie version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 addresses my concerns perfectly. Spoiler: Hedwig still dies, but Harry had set her free from her cage before he flew off, and she came back to save his life.
He Chose The Weasleys As Owners To Avoid The Death Eaters
Due to the fact that Voldemort's apparent demise happened due to Pettigrew's information, the Death Eaters believed that Pettigrew was a traitor and therefore sought to destroy him.
Controversially, it's also probable that Pettigrew was placed in Gryffindor because he truly was a brave character. Although his actions were morally wrong, they were often courageous. One example is how Pettigrew severed off his entire right hand in order to fulfill Voldemort's transformation into human form.
Pettigrew attempted to strangle Harry, but momentarily slackened his grip when Harry reminded him of his life debt, and was killed for it by the silver hand made for him by Voldemort. Hermione learned about his death after the battle.
