OK, I felt we should have some where to morun the loss of characters such as Fred, Tonks, hedwig, Lupin, Arianna (if you feel like it) Mad-Eye, Colin and DOBBY!!!!!!!!! And also vent our frustration at Bellatrix!

I want Dobby! Why did he have to die!!!!!!! I loved him!
I felt for Dumbeldore the way Arianna died, and I felt sorry for Arianna, unable to control herself and locked away for having been traumatised! It was so sad...

MUST KILL PERSON WHO KILLED TONKS!

Lets just blame it all on Bellatrix. She is our default murderer

OK, we can turn this into a conspiracy thread that Bellatrix actually had Voldemort under the imperious curse the entire time! (Actually, if I wanted to become the most powerful wizard in existance, I would do that, it save you getting into trouble just use a puppet, who then mysteriously dies and hands over to you...)

I felt bad when Dobby died cry And when Tonks and Lupin died.. weep And Hedwig bawling

BTW ~LunaLoveG~ I love your sig

Yeah i love your sig too luna!

What about Snape?

Oh! I forgot! that was a sad way to die... I thought, no he's not dead it's a joke...

I'm glad Snape finally died, but I'll miss Lupin, Moddy, Tonks, Fred, Albus, and Sirius

Ill miss the Whole damn harry potter series!!! i think i almost cried at the end !

good point crybaby

I miss lupin and tonks freakin bellatrix

I'll miss the Harry Potter series but its been good and can always re-read the books. A lot of the deaths got me in this book, I think Lupin's and Tonks really got me probably because I instantly thought of the Son they had left behind, that and I'm a stupidly big Lupin fan *shrug*. Fred's death wasn't an easy one either. Dobby...heck none of them were easy, I was even shocked at how early Mad-Eye died...yeah lets just blame Bellatrix its easier.

Fred's and Dobby's were the hardest hitting for me.

Could not have said it better myself.

I remember reading the battle chapter and realizing that many people weren't going to make it out alive. Fred was hard. Lupin and Tonks might have been worse. At least the kid is basically in the Potter family.

It's the fact that Lupin was actually happy for once and then he died

R.I.P Bellatrix, you will be sorely missed... I mean... rest in peace... Dobby...

anyone upset about how ll four Muaraders are dead?

everyone forgot about Pettigrew :O

I am not going to miss him

Interesting way to go, though.

R.I.P. Dobby.
R.I.P. Lupin.
R.I.P. Tonks.
R.I.P. Fred.
R.I.P. Snape.
R.I.P. Moody.
R.I.P. Colin.
R.I.P. Hedwig.

to tell you the truth, i didn't really get upset at the deaths while reading. i don't know why, really, and i'm amazed that i wasn't pulling out the tissues. the only reason i can think of for this is that i went into reading this book expecting loads of people to die, and so when someone did, it wasn't a surprise. i never approached any of the previous like this because i always either assumed or hoped everyone would be safe. maybe my recent break up put me in a bit of a bad mood? oh well. i'm sure reading all of the books over again before this one would have helped. Snapes however was not a pleasant one for me, as i have relised i have a lot in common with his charachter. almost like watching yourself die.

Her name is spelled Ariana. One n. Not two.

Anyway...three of my four favorite characters are dead. Damnit.

...why Fred though?!

Yeah Fred's was a hard hitter, it came out of nowhere.

Coming to think of it, knocking off George's ear pretty pointless now. I mean, I'm pretty sure they can tell each other a part now.

Wonder if Fred became a ghost... I could see it happening. Haunted Hogwarts fooling around with Peeves.

The characters that I was most upset about dying were Snape, Dobby, Lupin, Tonks, and Fred. I can't believe that J.K. killed Lupin. And I agree with what KOK said, about how it's a bit upsetting how all four Marauders died.

Ooooh, I was thinking about starting a RIP thread myself. The death which had the most affect on me was Lupin's. I can't believe it. Last time I was low was when Sirius died, but that wasn't this deep. But as I said before, I'm too old to develop another post-HP depression. When I read that sentence, I had to read it over and over again. I thought I was delusional. I don't know if this is normal, but since the, I can't go to sleep, 'cause I always cryin the night.
I know it's stupid, and he was only a character, just ink on a paper, but he was my favourite character and a part of my life. weep

You've summed up the exact same way I felt about Lupin's death, we don't see him die but when she mentions hes dead. I'm almost exactly alike to him, the same personality with the same failings (self doubt, put my friends before me and look for their appreciation too much. Heck I'm already greying as well (at 20)) so to see him dead it was like a mirror of me. You really summed up how I felt there Vapor, only with Lupin not Snape.

I was still mourning Dumbledore, how am I supposed to recover from this?? cry

same with me with tonks crybaby

Dobby and Hedwig.

I'm surpised at the fact that in the epilogue, assuming Harry found the Ressurection Stone, that it doesn't show him using it. He can live with his parents and Sirius and Lupin, I don't understand why he wouldn't.

I'm retarded. I was reading quick, and I thought Harry said "The thing in the Snitch, I'm going to go get it." I skipped right over the not part.

People really shouldn't skip over anything

Why did Fred die.

Poor poor George.

Read the books where they were still alive. That way, they're not really dead. petpet

Oh, it's too soon. I started re-reading the whole, but can't really laugh at Fred & George's pranks, I have a bitter taste in my soul, knowing what will happen.
And it may sound cruel but if you ask me, it should have been Percy. I'm evil, I know.

Fred.... cry

I put a big mourning and candle for Dobby the free house elf!

I found myself saddened at each death, even Pettigrew's. He was truly a loathsome creature, but also one I could feel pity for. The characters that I mourn the most, however, are Hedwig, Snape and Lupin.

I just wasn't expecting the death of Hedwig. I mean, she's an owl. An owl, not directly involved in the war. It set the tone for the rest of the novel, for me.

Snape's death (and subsequent semi-attonement via the pensieve) really affected me. I'd always hoped that there was some good in Snape, and now I know who the "horrible boy" was that Petunia mentioned.

Lupin's was incredibly sad for me, for the reasons sketched out elsewhere here.

But what about some of the others as well? Considering Voldemort, I pity him: An unloved bastard who had to take away the knowledge that his birth killed his mother. I can't pardon his evil (like I couldn't any real madman) but I could always wonder what might have happened if his mother had survived....

And what about the Muggle Studies teacher? Charity Burbage? Sure, we never got to know her, but surely she is the teacher whom Hermione respected and looked up to in that Muggle Studies class for which Harry and Ron chastised her....

i will miss them all but snape's death will be the worse

EDIT:btw did bellatrix die at the end or what

The description of her reaction would point to that conclusion.

Just learned that Tonks was killed by Bellatrix. I some glad Mrs. Weasley killed that B*tch evil

Sirius, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Hedwig, Dobby, Moody and especially Fred should NOT have died!
I was so depressed when they did. Poor all of them :'(

2 BEAKS?! ROFL.
Ok anyway, yeah, Snape was actually one of the saddest deaths, I can't believe I forgot him :P
And yes, Sirius' death was sad too.

Bellatrix killed Tonks? I thought she was killed by Dolohov. But I just checked Wikipedia, and I guess J.K stated in an interview that Tonks was killed by Bellatrix. Yeah, good for Molly!

How come Lucius didn't die? I mean, I think in the seventh book, he was a bit of a coward. You know..... kinda lazy and soft. If Voldemort doesn't like people like that, how come he didn't kill him off?

And I'm gonna miss Fred so much. Without him, there's no more funny twins. No more saying stuff at the same time.drunk


*sniff* It's too painful!bawling

Excuse me. I need a moment alone.sadwalk

I was most distressed when Dobby died, to be honest.

So true.

Remus and Fred's death hit me so violently. I had to read them over and over again to make sure I got it correctly, I thought I was delusional. I felt like I was never gonna be cheerful again... as if a dementor was near... weep

My sister(17yrs) loves dobby and is always saying harry potter loves dobby even though it's dobby loves harry potter(2nd movie). So when she was reading the book she asked who was going to die and i said dobby and she was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
I thought harry had died when voldemort tried to kill him because he asked dumbledore if he (dumbledore) was dead and dumbledore said yes so i thought if dumbledore was dead and harry was where dumbledore was then harry was dead but then i found out he wasn't and i was happy again.

i was a bit pissed that snape didnt actually get to show his 'true' colours by fighting for the order...you know, get a bit of redemption from other characters while he was there...

I love snape, his character was so dark, you just knew there was something there inside of him that he was hiding...
But oh well, atleast harry found out the truth in the end...

It hit me today... Snapes dead!!!!!!! I was at ballet and suddenly started crying my eyes out and when I was asked what's up I cried about Snape being dead even though it was ages ago!

Sorry to go about it like this, but reading this thread kinda makes me sick. To actually say R.I.P's to a bunch of fictional character as if they were real people just seem dumb. While there are thousand of people out there who are dying because of war, poverty or oppression are left out.

You know what makes me sick? People who judge. People who don't appreciate other people's interests. If you think this whole mourning is stupid, you shouldn't have read this thread in the first place.

And don't you think that there are things you can't understand? Like why we mourn. Because these characters are fictional, yes, but they (JKR) maybe had an impression on our lives. Maybe we learned something from them (her). Maybe it changed us, maybe in a good way.

I don't really wanna sound obsessed, but I am and I like it. They were a part of my childhood, a part of my life, and I'm happy about it.

Amen!

I will miss Fred and Snape.
Man, those two were the best, but then JKR had to kill them off.

most of the deaths seemed inevitable and a matter of course - even Dobby's - he sacrificed himself to save the Trio.

The deaths where I was a little ... wtf? was Hedwig and Fred.

Where was it needed that they needed to die?! Like, when Hedwig "fell" or whatever, I was all, "oh, she's a smart bird, she'll find them all at the Tonks.

Yeeah, right.

And Fred... Well, maybe that was just what JK planned. She said there was going to be a death that schocked us all... and Fred's death did that. Fred was not hard-core into the wand to wand combat, he and George ran WWW as a front to providing the Ministry with shielding gear. When they arrived at the battle scene, it was like... "okay, well we'll drop a bunch of dung bombs and let loose some fireworks [give him hell, peeves!" and enchant holes in the ground to look steady and grassy...

and then Fred dies...
