Cara Tonks and Lupin. I don't know why it was them in particular, there were so many other deaths, but I completely lost it when they died....

AgCl well, every death was a shock, Snape's and Dobby's got me near to tearing up but i suppose it didn't really quite register immediately. Fred's was just too sudden, that i really didn't have much time to process it and there was so much going on at that point. I broke down when harry talked with his parent's and sirius through the resurrection stone before he went and confronted Voldy, i'm not sure why.

Anna It takes a lot to get me to cry when reading a book. I still feel sad, but to get tears, it takes a lot. I teared up when Dobby died. Every death was horrible and sad, but I remember feeling the prick of tears at my eyes when he died.

Austen  Clayton For anyone at all to have died because of Lord Voldemort is sad. And for so many to have died who needn't have, had it not been for one man's thirst for power is far worse. But saddest of all is that so many people died who were brave, kind, loving, smart, and that had to leave friends and family behind, grieving for those who were so close to them. And those who died were not only close to the characters alongside them, but to the readers as well, who have been with them for their entire story. And for that reason, every death is sad, and every death brings tears to people's eyes.

I found his walk in the woods most trying as well. It was sad especially when he asked if it would hurt when he dies. And him asking his mum to stay close. I was balling. And for Fred, Remus, Severus, and Dolby.

Sucked people had to die but in war not everyone comes home.

i cried by that one too. it was such a bittersweet moment *sob*


Saxonjus For me Snape in the film & book.He was always on the outside at School & in Hogwarts.Yet he was loyal & true to his love Lilly.He never wavered from his chosen path playing the devils advocate keeping Voldemort happy & unaware of his true loyalties.He kept his word to Dumbledore to kill him rather than Malfoy live with guilt.Everyone hated him yet in those last few moments of his memories Harrybecame aware of the bravery of Snape.He acknowledged Snape in front of Hogwarts when confronting Voldemort.
Dobby yes sad he died saving Harry.Fred as a twin dying an awful experience for his family.Tonks & Lupin in the bloom of love dying togethrt.
Snape for me a hero an unsung hero

Mark Hedwig. It was so meaningless.


message 133: by Lilac (new) - rated it 5 stars

Lilac Hedwig. I only read HP6 and HP7 this year, so I was well prepared for the deaths of Dumbledore, Snape, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, etc.

But Hedwig...that just came out of nowhere.


message 134: by [deleted user] (new)

In the movie it was Sirius and when Snape held Lilly. Also, seeing Tonks and Lupins body laying together was really bad.

In the book it was for sure Dumbledore.

BookGirl I was surprised when I didn't shed tears over any of the deaths but I was extremely upset over Hedwigs. I felt it was so unnecessary.

Totally agree with you

Mary ... and Bellatrix because I think she kind of deserved the death of a warrior and not being killed off by a housewife (no offense..."

A housewife is exactly who needed to rid the world of Bellatrix. She was cold. She didn't care who she hurt and Mrs. Weasley, the Mama Bear, said no more! She kept her from hurting one more of her children or anyone else's children. I was thrilled that Molly ended Bellatrix's reign.


message 149: by Rakean (new) - rated it 5 stars

Rakean I cried the most about Dobby... and Snape... and Sirius... Dumbledore's didn't affect me much because I suspected that he told Snape to do so. But Dobby... Snape... Sirius... Gone!


Natascha Snape and Harry's walk into the forest. Just because moments before Snape asked him to look at him when he died, he wanted to see Lily's eyes. And the fact that Harry asks his mother to stay with him and we don't see much of James in that scene just confirms for me that Harry, although he has flaws, he's ultimately like Lily. And I've heard a lot of Harry Potter hate lately, saying he's one of the most hated characters in the books. But I like Harry for all his flaws, he's still a good person.
Snape was not a good man in his life. But he was bitter and a very sad person. He deserved so much more. I hope that in the end, when he looked into Harry's eyes he saw Lily and with her that Harry was much more like her than James. That's Lily's character and therefore her spirit would live on. And he had peace.
I have to admit I don't cry for Dumbledore as much as I used to. It might sound childish but in some ways I blame him for Snape's bitterness. Snape became his spy after Lily died and became a close confident. He understood Snape's pain,I think, in some way because he had had an unrequited love too in his life, Grindelwald. He knew the pain, but still he didn't help Snape move on. Snape had 11 years to heal, find someone else, find love. But he didn't and Dumbledore didn't encourage him. Or that was the impression I got. That bothers me, a lot.
I know that in the grand scheme it was essential for Snape's love for Lily to stay very deep, or else he wouldn't have risked so much for Harry. But Snape (although he is a bad man with many many flaws) deserved more. Just like Draco Malfoy deserved redemption. Heck, even Dumbledore had earned his redemption in the end and he had been manipulating people left, right and centre.
