Hedwig, Dumbledore and Fred
I cannot stick to only 3 . but here are some of them : Sirius , Dumbledore aaand .. everyone else.. kay I cannot pick . I reread the books and cried again when they died , one by one :(
Dobby, Dumbledore and Snape
Anyone of these people:Remus&Tonks (For Teddy)
Fred&Cedric (They both were really young)
Snape&Serius(I like Snape now, and have always loved Serius' character)
Dobby&Hedwig (For Harry)
Who I WOULDNT save:
Dumbledore (Lets face it)
James&Lily Potter (Without them, the story would fall apart)
Hedwig, Sirius, and Remus.
Oh, also, I wouldn't want to save Voldemort. :( ««««« Voldemort sad because he has no nose
Sirius, Dobby, and Dumbledore

DUMBLEDORE
Diggory
Harry's parents (come on. he deserves it..."
Lupin's wife's Nymphadora Tonks
Serius, hedwig, dobby
-Fred (The thought of Fred and George being separated is just terrible...)-Sirius (His death felt unnecessary, and I wish he could have had a chance to recover from Azkaban...)
-Lily (it would have been really cool if everyone thought she was dead but then Harry found her in St. Mungo's and managed to restore her... or, better yet, if she went into hiding using a spell that could only be lifted when Voldemort died, possibly one of Snape's making.)
Fred, Dobby, Hedwig
Joy, that would be SO cool if Lily came back, James is ehh, ok. And Weasley's Wizard Wheezes wouldn't be the sane without Fred.
Definitely Dobby, Sirius, and Dumbledore

Totally agree! Did JK Rowling think that Hedwig would get in Harry's way during the horcrux-destroying. Wait, where did Crookshanks go?
I agree with Amaya Garcia! Also, BellaTrix ¤¤ "always" what is that supposed to mean?
Fred, Hedwig, Sirius and everyone..omg i cant just pick three
She was the personification of Harry's childhood, his purity and, yes, innocence. When she died, it was like Harry was losing all of that.

Half the deaths in the last book were picked at random to boost the dramatic weight of the final battle.
I say save Remus & co.
I have to ask, what makes Sirius such a strong character? Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sirius' character, but what makes him so likable?
Fred, Tonks, Cedric, Sirius, and Hedwig. I'd say Remus too, but I think he was ready. He spent his whole life hating what he was, and a nobel death was just what was best for him in my opinion.
Fred, Hedwig, Lupin. Teddy needs at least one parent.
Lupin, Snape & Sirius.
In my world, Fred never died. Despite the ugly sobbing I do whenever that part of the book comes up, Fred is still alive and well, thank you very much.

Ella wrote: "I have to ask, what makes Sirius such a strong character? Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sirius' character, but what makes him so likable?"the fact that hes Harry's only surviving family member.
It gave the readers a sense of hope that Harry would have the family he hoped for
sirus :(fred
remus
sorry dumbledore sorry james sorry lily! :(
Snape, Lupin, Voldermort
Thanks, Amaya! Yeah, I guess it is also because Sirius is sort of Harry's mentor for a while
HedwigHuman life is fleeting, and the loss of people can make us who we are, whether that's good or bad. The loss of Hedwig was just hurtful. *sigh*
Julie, totally agree! Hedwig's death didn't make ANY sense. Harry didn't grow stronger as a character. JK Rowling picked some random deaths I think. I mean really? George, Dobby, Colin Creevey, and Hedwig?
The deaths all had a purpose behind them. I do not believe J.K. would kill anyone indiscriminately.

George!! And Lupin!
Well, you have a point. Tonks AND Lupin was especially cruel. And George...

Oh, whoops, I mean't Fred not George.
BellaTrix ¤¤ "always", Some of the deaths had a point but killing like Fred, Hedwig, Dobby, Tonks, and Colin had almost no point. Dobby did sorta affect Harry, though.
Not true. They had a reason behind them. Fred's and Colin's were to show the horrors of war and that they could affect anybody, that nobody is safe. Hedwig's was for reasons already stated. Tonks and Lupin's were to make Teddy a war orphan, to bring the story full circle. Dobby's death was to snap Harry out of his Hallows obsession and to remind him of what they were fighting for.
In the Deathly Hallows, it said that Hedwig's death made him feel ashamed. How does that help anything? You DO have a good point for Dobby, Lupin, and Tonks, but showing the horror of war didn't make anything better.
Fred, Sirius, and either Remus or Tonks. Probably Remus. I've never re-read Book 7, because too many people died. :-(

Hands down Sirius, Lupin, and Fred
Tonks simply because she was a young mother. And then Fred. It's funny. It breaks my heart to have a character I love die, yet I manage to kill off my own.
Sirius, LupinTonks Fred
