To mention those characters who we know shouldn't have died (*cough* (SPOILER for Harry Potter) Fred Weasley) but did anyway. *sniffle* We remember your greatness!

Max!!! *sobs* I really hated that he had to die! He was so adorable, and they treated him so badly! Everytime I read stuff about how Clary thinks about Sebastian, and how he is still a person (as well as readers' comments) I'm like "HE KILLED THE MOST ADORABLE YOUNG SHADOWHUNTER people!!" Gees! Prim and Max would have made a cute couple!

I totally agree!! Thanks Lucinda!!

While I miss them, I think it would be disingenuous to have an epic battle between good and evil with no losses. As an aside, what about Fred Weasley?

Lauren | 23 comments Hey all,
I agree with all your comments and would like to add... I bawled my eyes out when hedwig died, and Fred, and Tonks and Lupin....

I was sad for each that died, but Snape was the only one I actually cried over. Once his history came to light I just really felt for him. *sniff*

Prim, Dobby, tonks, fred, lupin

and I knew that some day dumbledore would die but i did not want him to die and that was a very upsetting death

oh and if Jem or Nicholas Flamel ever died, I would spend about 30 days crying my eyes out.
SPOILER ALERT

When I thought Nicholas died in (it was either the necromancer or the warlock) I was just staring at the page about to cry.
but thank god he did not.

Max-City of Glass
Derek-Sing me To Sleep

I hated how JK Rowling killed of Sirius just as he and Harry were becoming close!! Not to mention I LOVE Dumbledore, and the story felt slightly empty when he died!

I know this sounds weird. But imagine if Dobby was a Chihuahua. I personally think it would be adorable but not as adorable as real Dobby.

P.S Did anyone else go to the HP Exhibition when it was out where you live. I did. I went in like March. AWESOME !!!!!!!

Rachel (velliya) | 424 comments Boromir, I loved him. :'(
Rest in Peace

What about Bruno and Shmuel, from the Boy in the Striped Pajamas? I blubbered when they died.

And, I'm gonna admit it... I cried when Zoë Nightshade died in the third Percy Jackson :(

Jack from Alex Rider.

And Fa from Wolf Brother, eventhough you only know him for about three pages. That's how great he is.

talltyrion | 708 comments I cannot bring myself to saw anything regarding the deaths of these near-corporeal characters, so just know that this list is in no particular order and I'm probably missing many names I can't think of at the moment, or I will include some names and not others, which is depressing me further.

• Augustus Waters, The Fault in Our Stars
• Finnick Odair, Mockingjay
• Natalie Prior, Divergent
• Alaska Young, Looking For Alaska
• Kizzy, Lips Touch: Three Times
• Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince
• Kishmish, Daughter of Smoke and Bone
• Brimstone, Daughter of Smoke and Bone
• Hazael, Days of Blood and Starlight
• The Laughing Man, When You Reach Me
• Irina, Breaking Dawn
• Primrose Everdeen, Mockingjay
• Rue, The Hunger Games
• Zoë Nightshade, The Titan's Curse
• Sirius Black, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• Dobby, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

There are so many more, but that's all for now...

Ʈʜэ MɐÐɲΣ§Ꭶ ᏊརƭᏲƗϞ (death_of_the_rebelz) These topics are giving me much to create lists for. Ah well, it does well to feed the fetish.

Harry Potter:
-Snape
-Lupin
-Mad Eye Moody
-Fred Weasley
-Tonks
-Albus
-Dobby

Hunger Games:
-Finnick
-Prim
-Rue

A Monster Calls:
-Conor's Mother

The Sleepwalkers:
-Bean

Cirque de Freak Series:
-Larten Crepsley

The Artemis Fowl Series:
-Holly Short
-Butler
^Probably does not count considering they come back to life.
-Root

I am going to continue this list when I think of more, which should not be too difficult. Rest in peace all beloved characters. You will be dearly missed.
