This might be a silly question to some, but as someone who seen only the movies. Why couldn't everyone's favourite Elf be healed?

Unfortunately, Dobby was beyond the point of being healed. He had been tortured and abused for so long that his physical and emotional state had deteriorated too much

In the Harry Potter series, Dobby the house-elf is unable to be healed because he was under the control of a powerful wizard and was forced to perform magic against his will. In the books, it is explained that when a house-elf is forced to perform magic against its will, it becomes severely weakened and can eventually die as a result. Additionally, in the final book, it is stated that Dobby was mortally wounded by Bellatrix Lestrange and did not have time to be healed before he passed away.

Dobby was more gravely injured, and likely suffering from internal bleeding and severe blood loss. Hermione was not an experienced healer.

Dobby could not be healed because he had been cursed with a Killing Curse. This type of curse is one of the most powerful and destructive curses in the wizarding world, and it is not possible to reverse it. Dobby was able to be freed from the curse and given a peaceful death, but he could not be healed.
