This sock that once belonged to Harry Potter was given to the house-elf Dobby by Lucius Malfoy (his master). Harry tricked Lucius Malfoy by presenting him with Tom Riddle's Diary, shoved inside this sock. When Lucius Malfoy took the diary out of the sock, he threw the useless piece of clothing and Dobby caught it, making him free. Dobby kept that sock on until the day he died.

Another sock of Harry's was used to hold his Sneakoscope and also later given to Dobby.

Behind the scenes

• The way in which Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby differs from the book and film. In the book, Harry put Tom Riddle's Diary inside the sock and Malfoy merely attempts to attack him before Dobby knocks him backward. In the film, however, Harry places the sock inside the diary and Malfoy attempts to kill him before Dobby knocks him backward.
