Did you cry?

[princess~of~lorien]

Did you cry while reading Ootp? I did. A lot. I cried almost the whole time I was reading the last few chapters, I cried when Sirius died, even though I knew it was coming (my friend told me) I also cried a lot when Harry found the mirror and was screaming into it but nothing was happening. Oh yeah, and I cried when Beallitrix Lestrang was taunting Neville and threatening to do to him what she did to his parents. I don't think I've ever cried this much while reading a book. I had to keep telling myself "it isn't real, it isn't real..."

[riot_girl]

I cried a river!. I didnt really cry when Sirius died. I cried after when Harry was remembering him and wanting him agian. I think I cried Harry's tears. I cried when he went serching for hope and faith. Omg Im about to cry now.

[jmk623]

I don't cry that often. I was sad, at Sirius's death; but no I didn't cry. I just sat there feeling hollow for Harry.

[Left_Wanting]

I didnt actually cry, but i could feel them forming... really sucked killin off his last (good) relative

(but i think he'll be back)

[JenJen]

I cried...not the first time I read it, because I read it so fast that nothing really sank in, but when I was rereading parts, I cried when Luna was telling Harry that she could talk to her mother through the veil.

[Isaraniel]

I didn't cry. Actually Sirius death didn't bother me at all. Still doesn't.

[Puffskein]

I cried in Dumbledore's speech, when the death actually sank in, and then in the last chapter, especially with the mirror and Luna.

[ravstardeluxe]

No way! I'm not a big enough Sirius fan to have cried over his death. But at the same time, although things about the book shocked me, it'd never go as far to make me cry.

[Buttercup]

I didn't cry during Sirius' death. It was too fast and too sudden, no lingering goodbyes and such. As cruel as it might seem, Sirius sort of annoyed me during the book. I wanted to tell him 'TWO WORDS....DE CAF'.

The parts that I got me misty eyed was Neville with his parents and the gum wrapper from his mother and Luna talked to Harry about her mother dying. I thought 'what a sad and strange little girl.' I also thought right there that she could be very helpful to Harry in his grief because no matter how much Ron and Hermione love Harry, they do not know loss.

[DRxD]

Nah, I didn't. The whole death didn't bother me too much, until Harry got the mirror. I didn't feel sad but I wanted to yell at him for not opening the package earlier.

[Sweetie]

I got teary a few times, at St. Mungos and when Sirius died, but I believe I actually cried at the end, just based on the overall mood of the book.

[Miss Tonks]

I didn't cry when Sirius actually died because it happened so suddenly...he was just gone. But when Harry went after Bellatrix and she said "Did you love him?" and when Harry talked to Dumbledore and DD had tears in his eyes and when Harry found the mirror...that's when I couldn't stop the tears.

I still can't believe he's gone. :(

[Mrs. Prongs]

WELL, I'M REALLY HAPPY NOW THAT I KNOW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO CRYED (princess~of~lorien). I CRYED SINCE SIRIUS FELL THRUGH ALL THE WAY UNTILL THE END. I CRYED HARDER WHEN HARRY WAS THROWING THINGS AROUND IN DUMBIE'S OFFICE. OMG. I CRYED....NO, NO....SOBBED! INTO MY PILLOW FOR NEARLY 1HOUR AND A HALF. I COULN'T STOP. AND NEXT DAY I FELF SO BAD, THAT I COULN'T EVEN EAT. I WAS OS DEPRESSED.

[Thyme_of_Change]

Oh my yes! I cried when I thoght Mr. Weasley was going to die, and when Sirius died. I cried for Harry in a number of parts, and I cried for Neville. My sister says it's silly to cry, it's just a book, but I think that is the sign of a really good book! When you get so wrapped up in it, it seems real and you become "invested" in teh storyline, so to speak.

[Dark Fallen Pride]

I had tears in my eyes when Gwarp was asking Hermione where Hagrid was when they were in the forest with Umbridge...I don't know why I just thought that was the sadest thing...

I didn't cry when Sirius died, I don't know why...and now for some reason I feel as if I could cry because I miss him :(

[Imperio! (Crucio!)]

i didnt cry. from what JK was saying i thought it would be a horrible death with lots of blood, etc, etc. but instead all that happens is that he falls into that veail and i gone!

it was a bit upsetting however at the end when harry wanted him back. but i was no where near the point that i thought would bring me to tears. oh well. i guess its because im a guy. who knows.

[Bren]

I was upset when I found out he died. I was so sad. Harry really doesn't have any family left. Yes he has ron and all but I mean true family. A link to his parents and all. It's gone. Why did he have to die?!

[heirofslytherin_dm]

I cried like a baby. I thought for sure, and actually found myself hoping it was Hagrid. I kept thinking after it happened that she wouldn't take away the only "family" he has. Not to mention that he was my favorite character didn't take away from my grief.

[fairygirl121129]

At first I had know idea what was going on then I started to read the next chapter and then I noticed what happened. I had to re-read it and then i started to cry. Then when Harry was back at the school and dumbledore was there and he was saying everything it made me cry more. Then I thought that it was all over and then the mirror he was just screaming his name into the mirror and he wouldn't show up. I couldn't stop crying. When he was talking to Nick and Nick said that he wouldn't come back it made me feel so bad. I cryed for hours and after I finished I re-read all the last chapters and cryed again.

[SiouxsiesCure]

Yep from about the point when Sirius got hit by Bellatrix (since I knew his death was coming...**** spoilers) till the last chapter. Especially when Neville got hit by Bellatrix's curse, when it was said Dumbledore had a tear coming down his cheek, and the whole thing with Luna and the mirror.

I didn't cry but I was most emotional at those parts too, I didn't cry when Sirius died because I somehow always had a gut feeling it was going to happen.

[Disarming Charm]

I didn't cry when Sirius died. I feel bad for what it means to Harry but by the middle of the book I was actually hoping it would be him to go.

I did get a little misty when Mr Weasley got hurt and also when Hedwig was injured.

Anytime someone was injured I was afraid it was them who was dying...

[Euthrel]

I actually cried.. I cried especially about the part when Sirius got killed and then when he was talking to Dumbledore...

I agree. The only part when I might have cried was the part when he had the mirror. Maybe when I reread it, the death will affect me more, but too much was going on in the story. Especially since Sirius wasn't exactly key in this story, I think if Hagrid had died, I would have cried. (that rhymed!)

[Bee]

Sirius's death wasn't very dramatic, was it? I didn't cry... Sirius was also never a "favourite character"... he was just THERE, sort of... I didn't really mind when he died, aas horrible as that sounds... I thought it was going to be Dumbledore. THEN I would've cried! Dumbledore is my favourite character.

[Arissya_00]

I didn't cry, but I was really sad at Sirius's death.

[Aoife Diggle]

I cried a few times during the book, the first time it was just one line that sort of hit me straight in the heart. I'm not sure of the direct quote but it was when Mrs Weasley and Sirius were arguing and she said
"He's not James, Sirius"
I've no idea why but that really hit me and got me all emotional.

I didn't cry when we met Neville's parents in St Mungo's even though I expected myself to go to pieces again.

I had a horrible feeling that it was going to be Sirius that died from about half way through, I just felt it in me waters as my Mam would say! As soon as I realised he had died I was just stunned by the speed of it all. One second he was there the next he was gone. Then as I read on the tears came a flooding! I actually had to stop reading and put the book down because I would have destroyed it. From then on the tears and the bile in the back of my throat sort of came in fits and starts (I did manage to protect the book though!)

[Maychilde]

i cried after i read the book.it took a while before it sank into my head that i won't be seeing sirius(physically)in the books :sigh:

[FatalBeauty]

There were a lot of parts that I felt close to tears, but the only time that I actually cried was after Sirius died when Harry was yelling "He can't be gone!" and all that stuff.

[hermeeownninny]

Yes, I cried a lot. I didn't cry when Sirius died, because it happened so fast it didn't quite sink in, but I cried when Harry smashed the mirror and when he asked Nick about the ghosts. I also cried when we saw Neville's parents in St. Mungo's. That seemed terribly sad to me. And I almost cried when Dumbledore did, after he told Harry about the prophecy. Yeah, I know, I'm a basketcase!

[Celestine_Adams]

I cried a little bit, but not a lot, mostly from the shock. I'm still in denial. :'( I cried a little more when Harry tried to use the mirror to talk to Sirius and when he asked Nick. :'( That was sooo sad.

[i wish i knew]

I got a bit teary when Sirius fell back into the curtain, at first I didn't realize he was dead. It was kind of like what HArry thought that he was just gonna pull bak the veil and walk out fine or something. But when HArry took the mirror and got his hopes high and then realized he couldn't talk to him I cried.

[SiouxsiesCure]

Yea I think that Sirius's death could have been staged a bit better. It would have really hit me if he didn't die straight away, but Harry found him a few inches from death and they say goodbye and all. That would have really got to me if they were able to say goodbye.

[DogStar87]

There's a thread on tear-jerkers...I definitely cried during this book, it was very emotional. Everytime Sirius was mentioned after his death I cried, and even some more after I finished the book.

[owl post 1992]

I was sniffly when they met Neville's parents (I Almost cried when Harry first learnt about them), I didn't really cry at the point of death but when Harry threw his tantrum in DD's office I started crying so much so I had to stop reading

[Capella]

The first time, I didn't cry. I don't know if it was because I was expecting a more epic death, or because by the time I reached the end I was exhausted and had a headache from too much reading.
But I did get teary the second time I read Dumbledore's confession to Harry and his tear at the end.

[seerius]

I cried when Mad-eye showed harry the picture of his parents, and again when Molly faced the boggart.

When sirius... went... i cried buckets. Some moron spoilt the book for me, so i knew he died, just not how he died. And since harry's "dream", i was kicking things furiously and telling him to hurry up... but the tears really came when dumbledore explained everything to him, especially the bit about harry coming to regard him as a mixture of "brother and father".

But i don't think i've ever been so upset by a work of fiction before -- i guess the fact that it doesn't really come to a closure with sirius at the end is one thing. And there's also the fact that his death was so unneccessary - i mean, i do have that tendency to blame harry, despite what dumbledore said...

To all those ppl who weren't upset by his death... even though sirius wasn't key to the plot, he was the person closest to harry, even closer than ron and hermione, i think, because harry seemed to feel that sirius understand a whole lot about him that they never could. Like the letters sent at the beginning - ron and hermione's were supposedly more taunting than anything else, whereas sirius' gave him real comfort...

I just think it's sad that Rowling should create something of a father for him and proceed to kill him...

[Axien]

The only part i really cried at was when harry was sitting by the lake rembering that it was on the other bank where 2 years ago sirius was trying to get away from the dementors...

SPELL LESTRANGE RIGHT!


I love bellatrix!

[Amadeus]

i would've if I didn't know the whole plot prior to reading the book....

I rather got my book later than most people because I wanted to get one with Canadian(same as British) cover... not the American one... and i was in US when the book came out

since I knew the entire story by the time I had the book in my hands..

It wasn't all that sad... except for the part with Sirius's death... still... didn't grab the tears out of my eyes...

[Eva]

I started crying when Sirius died and was on and off again for the rest of the book. I think one of the saddest parts was when Dumbledore started crying. Then after I finished I went and took a shower and started bawling again. After I got out my brother was looking at me kind of strangely and avoided me for the rest of the day. I think he heard me:smile:.

[Sarmi]

Uhhh, no. I didn't cry.

I was closer to tears in that Graveyard scene in GoF, than I was anywhere in OotP.

See ya!

Sarmi

[VyoletVega]

Argh I'm such a girl! I cried like a baby. I cried when Sirius died. I cried when Harry was having his temper tantrum in Dumbledore's office. I cried when Harry opened the mirror from Sirius. I'm not sure when I became an emotional wreck, but Harry Potter books are taking a lot out of me. I just read Goblet of Fire again and I spent half of that book crying.

[Mander]

Yes, I did cry. A hell of a lot. fr some reason, it depressed me a lot, besides filling me with utmost joy and entertainment. I haven't been so happy/depressed in a long time. I LOOOOVE Sirius.

[STaRRy MaRauDeR]

i cried for hours on end when i first read it. im still crying myself to sleep now, don't think that i'll ever get over sirius. might just cry myself to sleep for the rest of my life. :'(

[Mander]

LOL! me too.....I was SUCH awreck throughout BOTh books. Omg, we should have our own " Happy Potter Emitonal Wreck Thread' or something. I blubbered like an idiot.

[GaryGag]

No, but I might have if any of those red herrings came to pass (Arthur, Hermione, Ron, Neville, among others). I think in the end, I could cope with Sirius biting it, better than any of these others. Even Percy would have affected me more.

[Dormitorius Draco]

I cried so badly when Harry was yelling at DD for being calm at Sirius' death, I felt his pain, it was so heartbreaking for me to go through those couple of pages.

[ChaliceInnana]

3 times.

1. When Arthur was attacked.

2. When the kids found out about Neville's parents.

3. When Harry was mourning Sirrus.

[Kwikspell]

That'd be a 'no'. I felt elation, worry, but nothin' jerked any tears.

[Mrs.SiriusLeeBlack]

I didn't cry, I screamed quite loudly, and am quite upset that she killed off my favorite character. I'm just glad the older lady downstairs didn't hear me, on account that she didn't have her hearing aid in.

I think I'm still in denyal.

[Remus Lupin #1]

:( I cried Well I got teary I saw it coming to Sirius from the beginning and in the book 3 and 4 so I had a hunch it was him, he is one of my favorite characters and I was very sad especially when Harry opened the package with the Mirror, but I think in the next 2 books Harry will be able to communicate with him beyond the veil in fact I am sure of it.

[the_scar]

I didn't acually cry, but I felt really bad for Snape when his dad was being such a fricken ***. I always have hated Snape, but that changed my mood towards him.

[psychofan]

i cried when Dumbledore explained why he never told Harry about his destiny before. he had to be really conflicted, and it takes so much caring and sacrifice on his part. i was bawling the whole time...Dumbledore really loves Harry.

[OrioCookie]

I would've cried if Sirius's death was longer, but it happened fast so no. I did cry when he took out the mirror, that was really wrenching.

[LonelySnuffles]

I cried like a baby! Considering she killed off my favorite character...I kinda went into shook for the next few days!

[Earendil]

I never cry and I didn't when I was reading OotP, but I won't pretend that this wasn't a sad book. The first time through, I only was struck by Sirius's death--but on subsequent reads, everything seems a little sadder, since I know what's coming in the end.

[Snowangel]

I didn't cry. I spent most of the book more angry and frustrated than sad. And I must admit that I cried much more at the end of Goblet of Fire than at the end of this book. There's just something about the tragic manner of Cedric's death and Dumbledore's speech about it that made me cry almost everytime I read it. However, Sirirus's death was much less emotional for me, and I guess I was never as huge a fan of his as other people are.

But I did think that there were many touching parts of the book. Neville and his parents were quite sad to read about.

[Slewgal]

I cried after Sirius died and then more pretty much everytime his name was mentioned. I'm such a sap.:rolleyes:

[wolverine]

I cried my eyes out! Already when I started the first chapter, as I have been longing so much to read it over the past years I was all too exited! And over all, there were many tears, of laughter, of anger (at the times you don´t know what the heck is going on with Dumbledore), tears of hatred (against evil-"hem"-"hem" stuttering Umbridge, tears of joy at the classic Fred and George scene, and then as I was excepting and guessing and sucking in every clue about who was going to die and I finally found out I nearly fell out of my bed! My beloved favourite character is hexed to death ! Boo-hoo! I even had tears in my eyes when Arthur was attacked, cause I thjought it might be him, or Neville, when he shows up in the Death room again, or Mc Gonagall when she got those 4 spells on her! But then I already thought it would be Sirius at that scene, when Harry says goodbye to him and the text says something about "it felt like the lastime he was seeing Sirius!" Boo-hoo, I WILL MISS HIM!

[MadMagic]

No, I can't say I did. Sure it was sad, but I was pretty much prepared for someone cool to die. And it was so confusing when it happened that I really wasn't understanding totally what was going on.

[Yavanna]

Heck yeah! I cried when Sirius died, but mostly when Harry freaked out on Dumbledore and basically said that he didn't want to live anymore...how terrible is that feeling!!!

[Canucks_Fan]

I cried my eyes out when Sirius died. From the moment he died till the end of the book, I was literally sobbing and sobbing and sobbing. (Given that I cry easily) He was one of my favorite characters in the book and I can't believe he got killed off. It pained me to read when Harry found out from Nearly Headless Nick that it was unlikely of Sirius to become a ghost.

[Nymphadora JP]

I did cried, but not at the moment of Sirius death, I cried afterwards when Harry was in Dumbledore's office, and when he found the mirror and started calling for him but nothing happened...:'( it was really sad...

[SnowWhiteOwl]

I didn't cry directly after Sirius died...I think I was in a bit of a shock. I did cry during the last chapter, and I cried later that night when recollecting my thoughts about the book...And I also sobbed two days later, when in my room before bed thinking of poor Harry and my beloved Sirius...

[LilSnape]

I didn't cry for Sirius. I wasn't that attached to him. I didn't like him much, actually. I was terrified Mrs. Weasley would die... then Mr. Weasley... I couldn't take it. Sorry to sound mean, I'm not btw, I was a bit relieved it was Sirius. I was deeply hurt that Harry lost another parental figure, don't get me wrong...it's just JKR took away anything i had for Sirius with Snape's Pensieve. Or the way he thought of Harry as James. I cried, though, when Dumbledore cried. I could feel everything then. I just set down my book and sobbed. :'(

[drella]

I cried during the book, two parts stick out in my mind particularly, and strangely enough, neither of them are the part when Sirius died, even though I loved him to bits and pieces. That just left me empty.

The first was when Harry realised that Petunia was his mother's sister, it didn't make me cry but it did bring tears to my eyes. I'm not sure why, I think it was just the fact that he was realising that Petunia might of loved Lily after all, and blood really is thicker than water, excpet if your name is Bellatrix Lestrange.

The second was when Harry was in DD's office in the end, and he was shouting and trashing his office, and saying that he didn't want to be human anymore if it meant him feeling everything he was feeling at that moment. His rage and desperation just struck a chord.

[jimmy06]

I thought i would cry...but not one drop fell from my eyes. I guess it was becasue I thought that the death in the book would be drawn out and there would be a lot of mourning...but it just happened like that..I mean i had to read it over just to make sure that that's what really happened..I was stunned and didn't really have time to cry but i felt really weird like I had just also lost someone

[Chocomarine]

I Cried At when harry was trying to get to the veil and lupin stopped him. And i cried when sirius died, and dumbledore cried. I Hadent cried that much in forever. I was so upset at the the whole end. I wish someone else left... );

[Chocomarine]

P.S ) I Was the same way, lilsnape. I had to put down my book and lock the door in my room so i could sob some more.

[Ferrik]

Didn't cry a all. Part of that may be because I was so exhausted when I finally hit the end of the book (had been working swing shifts and marathon reading every free minute between). I still can't remember a lot of the finer points from the back half of the book.

The funny thing is that even though I have him listed as my favorite char, I was more afraid for some of the other characters that were in danger around the same time. His death just seemed to fit the ongoing story so well that it was hard to take offense.

[143lupin]

yes. for the first time while reading a book i cried! i love how j.k. makes it so real! i was really sad thru the end but only let out tears when harry was in rage at dumbledores office- n then how dumbledore was crying too! i was just so angry and sad inside like harry and cried! i cant imagine how thru the end harry didnt let our a single tear (or did i just miss that?) !!!!!!

[siriusblack84]

hmm...actually...I CRIED MY EYES OUT.....COMPLETELY!!!!!!! From the moment that Harry saw that dream I was nearly screaming "not him, not him, not him.....anyone but him" When he died I was screaming "oh my god she did it, she did, she killed Sirius" Then Dumbledore came and duelled Voldemort and no matter how awful and empty I felt I couldn't cry at that moment, it was way too cool! And then came the mirror scene and all that Dumbledore said and the ghost thing and I definetely cried my eyes out....! Believe it or not I felt that bad that it took me 30 hours to eat again! It sounds pathetic but it's 100% true!!!! And when I managed to get back to almost normal i called my friend who was halfway through the book and asked her who she thought was going to die! She gave me some names and then said "well, definetely not Black because he is the last relative harry has".....and i had to hung up extremely quick cause I startyed crying again.....I'm so pathetic but I do have a crush on Sirius...even if I know he's not real....
SSSSSSIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS

[Hermy879]

I cried when Sirius died, and wen Harry was talking to Dumbledore. O, and wen he was talkin to Headless Nick.
Why did it hav to be sirius???!!!

[bumblebee]

I couldn't even handle reading the bit about Neville's parents for the first few times - I got to the bit where Ron looks up and just skipped the rest of the chapter. And when I finally did I didn't cry, however I ended up sickening myself and being unable to eat for the rest of the day :(

Sirius's death still hasn't hit me. The only time I really even felt that something might've happened was when Harry and Luna are talking. I dunno, I'm a bit terrified of the next book now and if I will realize it :sigh: ...

[rons-lover]

I cried over Harry and Cho, because I wanted Harry to have a girlfriend(Not really Cho, but....), and it upset me how she kept ditching him.!

And Snape, when Occlumency didn't work out I cried. It meant NOT ENOUGH SNAPE.!

And I cried when I found out what James did to Snape(I feel his pain, its happened to me, not quite that bad, but ya know?).

I may have cried elsewhere, but I can't remember....

[RiskyChris]

I can't believe how few people are posting about Neville's parents at St. Mungo's, that was the saddest I've felt in a long time :'( *cries again* And I'm a guy too, I'm such a softie... But enough of that, just the thought of fully grown adults like Neville's parents, who are so helpless and out-of-touch with the world, it's just really really depressing...

[Jinxie Cat]

I didn't cry once while reading the book. I did do a lot of other things though. I gasped a lot through out the book! I muttered to myself. Things like, "No!" "OMG!" "Wow!" and "Whoa!" I would smile and laugh out loud especially when Fred and George were doing something. And I would frown a lot. But I didn't cry. Although I did come close to it when I received the book and was so overcome with emotion and also when Sirius died.

[Nightwing]

No I didn't cry....but I found the tone of the book really sad for a number of reasons. It wasn't one specific thing, but it's like so many things are conspiring against Harry. He so looks forward to Hogwarts after spending "vacation" with the Dursleys, and he returns to find even that comfort zone is not what he was expecting. Everything's destabilised, DD is awol much of the time, Umbridge is making everyone's life a living hell, not to mention he is totally confused in his first "relationship", Sirius dies, he discovers his father was not all he had thought......

I think book 6 will continue this tone, it's like a transition period for Harry, almost a coming-of-age, and as they say, it's always darkest just before the dawn, which I hope will be in book 7 :)

[McKinnon02]

No. I was waiting in a fever of anticipation for the book, and then read it so fast half of it didn't sink in. Read it over again, and felt worried when Arthur Weasley was attacked, laughed at Fred & George's antics, hated Umbridge, and was surprised by Voldemort's new attitude towards Harry, but I never cried.

[Drusilla]

I went numb when Sirius was hit by the spell:all I could think was ohgodnopleasenothimpleaseanyoneelse,and I still feel numb,like I'm mourning his loss.But I didn't start crying till Lupin's voice broke telling Harry Sirius couldn't come back,and hardly stopped(except for at Umbridge's departure) after that.And it's not just Harry I feel sad for-Neville and Luna have known what loss is too,and it's painfully clear here,especially when Neville was being tortured by Bellatrix and Luna was pinning up her notices.Not to mention the scene at St. Mungo's.For some reason,I also felt choked up reading about Ginny lying curled up and wide awake in front of the fire the night of the snake attack,and about Harry,having to think he was evil on top of everything else.This is,to me,the saddest of the stories so far,and going back to the early books with the knowledge of what lies ahead for Harry,my heart breaks for him and the child that he was;he's had to grow up so fast,against his will.And to those who say the death wasn't dramatic enough,or disappointing,I have only this to say;death isn't very often spectacular,or grand:it's very often just unexpected and throwaway,and after it's happened the world just goes on like there's no one missing from it,and you have to go on like that.The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.And it's never harder than after someone you loved is gone.

[kaoru]

I didn't cry when Sirius fell into the veil... actually I didn't really sure what's happened... When Harry calling out Sirius' name through the mirror... I choked.... after finishing the book.... I cried.... never thought I'd have to go through that depressing and denial stage the second time....
Now, I need to remind myself over and over that is just a fiction....

[girl_wizardry]

I didn't cry but after I finished with the book I felt really terrible. Really sad. Because of Sirius's death, the mirror part where Harry felt so hopeful that Sirius will answer but he didn't, the Sir Nearly Headless Nick part where again, Harry felt really hopeful that Sirius will become a ghost but then found out he can't, the part in detention where Harry scraped his skin for the first time(I thought that was horrible), the part where Harry's in Dumbledore's office really, really angry and started throwing things and saying he doesn't wanna be human, the part where Harry recalls his father in Quidditch and is thinking how he never got to ask Sirius how he is at Quidditch, the part where Ron is giggling feebly in MOM(I find it not funny but really pitiful) etc...it's really terrible. I didn't cry but it's terrible, it's really, really sad.

[Silvilocks]

I sort of worked up to it throughout the book. It started off with some mild sniffling when Arthur was attacked, and built up through the scene with Neville's parents, and when Hagrid was attacked. The actual death didn't really register, but once Harry started wrecking DD's office, and then found the mirror it was like turning on a tap. Maybe because I knew the death was coming but didn't know who would die, I was on edge the whole time and panicked every time anybody was attacked. I also thought it was a real roller coaster for emotions as the humour was sooo good in this book, and really stood out from the overall dark atmosphere. The again, maybe I just cried because I put Book 5 down, and Book 6 wasn't sitting there waiting to be picked up and read.

[Mad Macca]

OH yeah. I cried from the exact moment Sirius died, right on through to the end of the book. Especially when Harry got real excited about the mirror, and when he found out from Nick that Sirius wasn't a ghost :'( and when he trashed Dumbledore's office. And when Neville got the cruatious curse put on him.

[Picko]

I didn't cry, I saw no reason to. I was more shocked than anything else.

[harryton]

i found the book not to be so tearfull :) i did not cry cause sirius death wasnt that dramatic. it just went through the veil

[ilovedan112389]

I didn't cry when reading through the part. But I cried when I was lying in bed, thinking about Sirius and tried to find out which is the brightest star in the sky...:(

[Lauren Strohfeldt]

i cried soooo much
i cried when sirius died, wen he was in dumbledores office, wen sirius wouldnt come back as a ghost and the mirror
WAAAAAAAH:'(

[arabella_black]

I cried from Sirius' death till the end of the book. My face was red and my eyes puffy. I cried the worst when Dumbledore explained to Harry why he hadn't made him a prefect. The tear going down his face. That chapter was the sadest I think. I cried like a baby.

[mekell]

Of course I cryed. I balled! Even after I finished I just moped around the house. I couldn't hear the name Sirius with out sobbing.

[iloveron77]

:( :( :( yeah i cried when Sirius died. it sucked sooo bad! UGH! i think i also cried when Luna was telling him about how she talks to her mom through the veil :( :( :( ~iloveron77

[Mander]

I cried a bit when Luna was putting up notices to get her posessions back from the people who stole them and stuff. I dunno, i just felt so bad for her.

[phoenix]

I almost cried when Harry was throwing Dumbledore's possessions and shouting stuff like "I don't want to be human" after Sirius' death. The tears never actually spilled, but they were close.

[PhoenixUK]

No, I didn't cry, sorry to be so cold and heartless! It was so much built up, then there'd been so many fake deaths (ron, Hermione etc.) that I just didn't take it in - it was quite abstract, though very well written. It was only at the end of the book I though omg! Sirius is dead. He won't be in any more books! :'(

[Metabee]

I can't beleave you people cried over a book :lol: I mean, sure, I felt bad for Harry at times, but CRY. GROW UP.

[aya_thegoodwitchie]

I cried buckets! I was saying, OH MY GOSH! WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? Now I'm hoping that we'll see him at least in the future books. *sigh* :{ *sigh*

[Siriusly]

When I first read the book I did not cry, however when I was reading it outloud to my kids I could barely read it I was crying so hard. Not just at the death scene, but when Lupin couldn't spit out his words, and all through the reveal chapter as what the death really meant to Harry. This had to be so much harder on him than being an orphan. Thank goodness he had some support at the train station, otherwise how would he have made it through the summer?

[**katie]

Was very sad when sirius died, he was a great character.was v. sympathetic towards harry when he was being held back from the arch after sirius fell....:(-didn't cry though, as brilliant as it is, it's only a book!!:smile:

[Virtuousdream]

It's taken me 5 readings of the death not to burst into hysterics. Now I just have tears running down my face silently. I'm getting Stronger!

People, as sad as it is to say, Sirius ain't coming back. Heres why:

- Nick said before death he decided to stay in fear of death.

- Sirius fell through the veil leading STRAIGHT to death, no chance to come back.

Anyways, even if he had the choice to stay or not, it would probably be better to go on. I wouldn't like to come back, all you can do is walk around and talk, while you watch the living enjoy there life.

[Kagmi]

Yeah I definitely cried. I was also mad because I had asked a friend of mine if anything was going to happen to Sirius or Lupin because I'd heard that somebody died and they're two of my favorite characters, and she said nothing happened to either of them. I felt so sorry for Lupin too.... first Pettigrew betrays everybody, then James dies, then Sirius dies, what next???

[MaraudersGirl]

OMG, I bawled my eyes out. I started crying from the part when Harry tried to get to Sirius (I had clung on to the hope that you could actually go through the veil without being hurt from the impression I got from the name of the chapter) to the very end of the book. I was depressed for three days after I finished!!

[Scarlet Tears]

I was in shock when Sirius was killed. I kept hoping, like Harry, that he would still be alive and that he was merely injured. Then when the fact of his death sank in, I began sobbing uncontrollably. Afterward, whenever his name was mentioned, I would start crying again, and I had to get up and go blow my nose two times. I just reading it today, so I'm still in an awful state of depression. Right before I started reading today, I was thinking to myself, "Please, let it be anyone but Remus or Sirius." Well, of course, my prayer wasn't answered.

*Sigh* Only two Marauders left...

[Fjeliezkharre]

I cried when sirius died and harry couldnt believe it. i cried too when harry thought about sirius reappearing from the veil with a "laugh like a bark".. -sigh- I was in floods when I read OotP for the 2nd time. When i read it for the first time, I couldnt really believe it. I was like, no this isn't real... this isnt really the book... this can't be... sirius can't die... no... I guess that's it...

[too_wicked]

I'm not ashamed to admit I cried over Sirius' death. It was totally unexpected and it was so sudden it was sad. I am eighteen and yes, I still cried like a kid after I read that. I was expecting Hagrid to die but with the final battle coming and no Hagrid there, I was a bit scared it would be one of the six. Sirius falling through the veil was so sad because he wasn't even able to talk to Harry and give him some few words. I just love Sirius and it was really devastating to read that Harry lost another parent. I was crying in my dormitory and my roommate was just looking at me incredulously. She thinks I lost my marbles.

[FredRocksMySocks]

I cried throughout the whole rest of the book...very very hard to take, and harry's reactions were heartbreaking, weren't they? i wish harry would've cried..he could use a good release.

[evil_by_nature_dm]

Sirius dying made the whole book seem gloomy. it broke my heart at the end when he was running around, looking in the mirror for sirius, then asking Nearly headless Nick about ghosts.... you could really sense his loss

[HPviolinist85]

She could have done SO much with his charactor!!!!!!!!!! It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harry needed him!!!!!!!!! That's what got me the most!

[evil_by_nature_dm]

i would have preferred him dying some other way too- not by the hands of bellatrix

[evil_by_nature_dm]

sirius will always be remembered- but its still not fair!!! he should have been in all the books!!

[a1waysthedreamer]

:'( i cried too :'(
i've read the book 3 times now, and every single time, i've cried. it just seems to happen, and i can't help it. when sirius falls through the veil, i just die :'( and from then till the end of the book the tears just keep flowing. jk said the death made her cry when she was writing it too...

*sirius*

[evil_by_nature_dm]

wuts with the veil ne ways?
is that wut killed him? cuz it didnt actually say wut curse killed him... Bellatrix used one with a red streak, avada kedavra's green

[Joanna]

I love Sirius Black, but when I read his death scene, I was like "Oh, that's it?" I don't know, but something about it seemed comical. THe way he was joking around before and then all of a sudden, he's dead. I think Rowling should have improved that scene because I didn't really feel any emotion. I was shocked for probably thirty seconds and then read on. Something about that scene and Harry's reaction seemed forced. As if Rowling didn't really know how to go about it. I don't know. I really thought that she could have done better. I mean, I'm incredibly saddened by his death and all, but Rowling could have improved it.

Now, when those words "Ron was dead" came up, I was speechless and I could feel the tears in my eyes. And then I read on and became so relieved that it was just an illusion.

[evil_by_nature_dm]

i think it would have had to been hard to right---- and i bawled for EVER!! but the saddest part still was at the end, when harry ran around, trying to find a way of communicating with sirius.... pitifully saddening!!!

[evil_by_nature_dm]

i thought it was gonna be arthur or molly weasley...

[applesauce]

A guy at my school told me that Sirius died before I had got that far so it wasnt a shock or anything. But I did feel the tears coming on a couple of occasions. Mainly when Harry was in denial thinking that Sirius was just hiding. Also when Mr Weasley was attacked. This book was a lot darker then the other 4 and it had many moments where I thought I was going to cry.

When that Death Eater hurt Neville, When that Boggart took the form of the Weasly family dead and Molly crying. I have never read a book which has drawn out so much emotion. Being a Draco fan I was angry at Harry and Fred/George for fighting at the Quidditch match and I was livid at Umbridge on severel occasions. Although I didnt cry when Sirius died my heart went out to Harry. This is by far the best book I have ever read.

[firebolt2000]

Oh yeah, I cried. I cried when Sirius died and when Dumbledore gave his speech, especially whenever Harry would mention how angry he was at Dumbledore, and when Dumbledore told him he didn't make him Prefect because he thought Harry had so much to deal with and then a tear fell from his eye. I even cried when Harry was so alone in the beginning and no one would tell him anything.

I cried in GoF too when Harry was at the graveyard and saw the shadowy form of his parents, and when Dumbledore gave the speech about Cedric's death and Harry being so brave.

[Hermione_Potter101]

I cried during the part when Sirius died whe going through the veil but, cried even harder when I got to the part of the mirror. I know how it feels when you lose a godparent because mine did too right before my ninth or tenth birthday. I got all tempered up like Harry did that I wasn't even surprised when he nearly demolished Dumbledore's office.

[Iggle & HP Lover]

I cried my eyes out! I cried all the way through from the death, then I read it again in school and cried again. I kept stopping and starting...I loved Sirius, he was great! It's also tight on Lupin because one of his friends died, the other turned evil then the last one died!

[Veneficus]

No I didn't cry. The part that made me really sad was Harry’s conversation with Nearly Headless Nicholas. Harry hoping that if Sirius has died maybe he’s choose to become a Hogwarts ghost and Sir Nicholas telling Harry that that kind of decision was difficult to make. Sir Nicholas seemingly regretted making that decision himself.

Harry, in deep despair and grief, then realizes that Sirius has left him forever and Harry has no one to turn to.

[princess~of~lorien]

OMG, now I'm crying just reading what you all cried about! I'm such a pathetic girl.

[Haeton]

The death itself was very anti-climatic. It just happened and he was gone. JKR said this death was just the begining.

[firebolt2000]

I cried most during Dumbledore's speech, especially at the comment about him not being a prefect and at how Harry was so angry. His emotions were so real, and I felt so bad for the both of them. I even cried when Mr. Weasley got hurt and Harry thought he was possessed by Voldemort, and in the beginning when he was so lonely. It was so painful to see him like that. I cried when Sirius died too, and especially when Harry picked up the two way mirror and realized it wouldn't work, and then when he talked to Nearly Headless Nick. I cried till the end of the book and after. Pretty pathetic, huh?

[Joanna]

Agreed. It was so brief that I really didn't feel that sad about it. I mean, I was shocked for what, 30 seconds the most? I thought she could have done a better job with the whole fiasco.

[snitch14]

i didn't feel a lot of saddness until harry found the mirror. then i tried my best to suppress tears and had a big lump in my throat...

[Joshman687]

I didnt cry, but i felt for harry. I thought that Sirius's death happened way to quick and wasnt as emotional as it could have been.

[Griffyndor Roar]

I didn't cry but my eyes certainly got misty a few times. When Siruis died, when Neville's mom gave him the wrapper and he put it in his pocket instead of throwing it away, and the single tear on Dumbledore's face. All of those filled me with a profound sadness. Poor Harry so many awful things he has to endure. :(

[Xardra Wrath]

Neville... I cried for an hour after i read the secene at the hospital... It touched my heart when his mother gave him that paper gum wrapper...a mother still trying her best to show her son that she loved him.... then when he pocketed it.... dear me i seem to be crying again....
Sirius' death still hasn't sunk in with me... the scene was played much too fast...
I now have a respect for Neville, i hope you all share it..

[Alohamora]

wow...that touched me very much too! i cried when harry opened the package and that mirror came poping out. he could have opened in earlier and the death of a great character could have been avioded.

[haycheng]

No. I have yet to cry for any novels or Show. I guess I am cold hearted..... :lol:

[Jinxed_stupefy]

When Sirius died I felt like it was a kind of freedom for him. I felt sorry for Harry, but knew he would get through it. The only time I felt a tear coming on was when Dumbledore started to weep...you just don't expect that from a strong wizard like him. It just shows you how vulnerable he can be at times.

[salamander]

I never thought it was Sirius who was going to die, so it came as a huge shock to me. I didn't want to accept his death, I just kept on thinking "he didn't really die, it was someone else"... And yes, I cried all evening and felt so depressed the next day.

[Draco is Hot]

i was bawling terribly. i'm very emotional so i cried a lot throughout the entire book. When Harry was raging about ppl not telling him anything about the order, i cried. i feel so pathetic now that i'm talking about it.
I cried when mrs. weasley saw her family all dead. that was sooo sad.
I cried an ocean when Sirius died. i had to put the book down and have my own private crying moment because he's one of my favorite characters. that was really sad. such a tearjerker.
I cried when harry was raging in dumbledore's office about Sirius' death.
heck! i cried in almost all the chapters. OotP was indeed full of emotion. really genius piece of work!!!

[Shimmering_Starlet]

I was pretty close to crying. I love Sirius. My friend and i both discussed this and she loves Sirus more than me. Sniff sniff

[JenBluffheid]

I didn't cry, but I wanted to. The way the death was wrote, the way Lupin ended it by saying, "There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing ... he's gone."

Then, of course, was the sweet wrapper business in St Mungo's. That touched me so much. I could feel tears. I think Lckhart sort of spoiled it a bit, though. I love Lockhart's character, but having him in that scene ... But it was emotional. I can't wait to see how it's portrayed in the film (if there is one).

About three-fifths (yes, I'm mad) of the way through the book, I felt that everything was a complete shambles for Harry. McGonagall was in St Mungo's, Dumbledore disappeared, Umbridge was Headmistress ... Everything was terrible for Harry. I felt like crying then.

[Chloe]

Thats exactly what i did..... but when i really cried was when harry took out the mirror thingy and read the note, said sirius.... and he wasn't there.... i'm crying right now.........

[thatbrickwall]

unforunately , i felt almost nothing when sirius died, although his early scenes did arouse some powerful sorrow for him. Maybe the reason sirius' death had almost no effect on me was because i could see it coming from miles away. I read the first third of the book, and I thought, that's it, Sirius is acting like a dead man already. He's the one.

[Amina]

at three o'clock in the morning on monday i bawled my little eyes out. it was more when i turned the page and saw harry's reaction to sirius' death that made me cry. my copy is tear splatted for evidence!

[MeRiuM]

Yea Im sad that Sirius died ...I cried a little and I got kinda mad..Y did JKR just shove him off like that?? Its not fair..Harrys only chance to get away from The Dursleys are ruined...Hmmm..Oh well wat can we do?:??:

[Amadeus]

I would've if I didn't know the whole plot prior to reading the book... I got mine few days later than many others... because of unexpected circumstances..

[Juliet Malfoy]

Let's put it this way: we ran out of tissues, so then I had to use toilet paper as a replacement.
And then, when I re-read it, we ran outta toilet paper.

[Amanalcariel]

Oh, I cried more than I've ever cried for anything in a long time. Especially when Sirius died. that hit me hard. he was my favorite. :'(

[seerius]

Is this now the official sap thread, or what? :lol:

Ok, ok, i'm being disrespectful.

Uh, yeah, i cried too, my eyes were puffy the next day - and as for toilet paper and tissues - why bother when you've got your sleeve?

I felt more sorry for Harry than i'd imagine, too... i was just thinking of how lonely he was last night... and then... :'(

[haycheng]

No, I have yet cry for any movie or novel. I do not plan to either. It is after all just a story.

[seerius]

Ah well, as i always say to my dad and brother who delight in laughing at me:

If you're not crying by the end of something like that... you're just not taking it seriously enough. Unless you get really involved in a story - you just aren't getting the most out of it.

[M a r v o l o]

Nope. Didn't cry. I was extremely upset and sad, yes, but I hardly ever cry over things like that. I think the ONLY time I came close to crying was in book 3 when Wormtail crawled towards Harry in the Shrieking Shack and Sirius went off at him and shouted "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO HIM?!" and the like. I was like "*Sniff* YOU TELL HIM, SIRIUS!" :)

[iluvsirius]

Yes, I cried! Only a little at first, but later on I cried a lot more. I think mainly it just made me depressed for a while. I've made my peace with it now, but I still would rather somebody else had died. Sirius was my favorite!

[Kami]

Aw, I was bawling. I had left the book OPEN on my bed, and it had flipped over to the end of the chapter he died in.. and I glanced at it to see which chapter it was, and I saw he died.. and I was SO mad at myself for looking. I think I was at my saddest when I thought about Lupin. He's lost everyone he's been close to.

I hope so badly that Harry is able to talk to Sirius some form or another, or atleast see him.. but for some reason I just don't think he will. Which is depressing. :(

[mel]

No, didn't cry. I knew someone would die so I was expecting it, even though I didn't know it would be Sirius. I was more like "Oh, so that's who it is." Then on my second reading, as I read all the Harry/Sirius stuff I was much closer to crying. I still didn't though.

It's not like we'll never see him again, right? You heard them... they're just lurking out of sight. ;)

[Guardian Angel]

Oh, I did cry. I accidentally read that Sirius would die in book 5 so whenever I'd see his name I'd shiff. When he actually died, I cried like mad. Like it was something unexpected... Poor Sirius...

[FreyaCrescent]

I didn't cry when Sirius died, but I did feel quite sad, he was one of my favourites. There were many parts of the books when I was upset though - especially when Mrs Weasley is hugging Harry like a son. And Neville's mother gesturing towards her son..

[opuskitty4ever]

I had a friend that cried. For myself, I didn't even shed a tear. When I read he was gone, I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. I think I was more stunned than anything.

[hesdead-dealwithit]

I think the point was that you weren't supposed to cry, really. The death was so sudden and random that it was only supposed to feel confusing, not sad. So no, I didn't cry. The mirror scene got me close but the sad parts of the books seemed more just sad rather than devastating.

[hermione_fan]

Yesss!!! Though it really didn't really hit me until Harry was trying to speak to Sirius through the 2 way mirror. Then I balled for the rest of the book. Gosh, I'm such a baby!!!!

[Charmed]

No, I didn't cry. My immediate thought was "oh no, Sirius!" I thought I would cry but I couldn't. Sirius was one of my favourite characters, so maybe it won't sink in that he is gone until the next book.

[cloud_9_83]

I was really upset when sirius died but i didn't cry until i got to see harry trying to handle it and trying to find a way to get sirius back...then i cried again when dumbledore told harry all that stuff adn had a tear going down his face.

[downding]

I was just surprised and thought it was a bit surreal since it was extremely unexpected. I just thought it only made the story angst and maybe tear jerking but not enough for me to cry. I definitely have read books with endings much worse.

[jasper]

I didn't cry. Actually Sirius death didn't bother me at all. Still doesn't.
me neither.

[SwtPea484]

Even though i knew it was coming because i accidently read that it was gonna be Sirius, i still cried.
After he fell and Lupin was holding back harry i had to put the book down, cuz i was crying.
It was like 1:00 in the morning and i was the only one up in may house which is good cuz my mom would have been wondering what was wrong. :huh: haha
I picked it back up and was fine until harry was in dumbledore's office and he just broke apart (which was so awesomely written) and it moved me so much that i cried again, then every part after that practically, when they mentioned his name.

I couldn't imagine thinking i was all alone for 12 years then finding someone to care about you and actually TAKE CARE of you then have it all taken away again...man it's just so sad. :upset:

[ErickGama]

I am still reading OotP but from what I read I think I will, but I am not sure, it depends on the way that JK. puts it!

[HarryPotter]

I didn't cry, but I felt sad when Sirius died...

[GryffindorGr]

Because I read OotP first I didn't cry so I basically read things backwards. But now after putting them all together, it did bring a few tears to my eyes. What really brought tears to my eyes are Harry's parents and their death. So yeah, Sirius being dead was very sad. It seem so very cruel to take a godfather away from Harry but I know JKR has something BIG planned so I'm confident that it's going to be alright :)

[Epiphany]

I have to be honest and say that I never felt anything particular towards Sirius...

So when he died I was a bit shocked and sad for Harry, but I didn't cry.

The part that made me cry is when Harry is with Dumbledore in his office. Now that was very powerful and moving. For me at least. ;)

[tizzy weasley]

I don't think I cried. I can't really remember. I felt horrible for Harry. I've might've shed a few tears at the end, but I hate to tell you, I can't really remember.

[Alaasea Lisseul]

Merry Meet,
I cried.... I cried through the rest of the book.. and after wards. It didn't take very long to read the fifth bok. I read it in 2 days. I can jet through them books like lightning.

[LumosSoleil]

I cried upon first reading it. I think I stopped crying after reading it the 8th time. But, man I balled when Lupin was restraining Harry from running to the dais Sirius just fell from, when Harry welled up with emotion during LV's possession of him and he says at least he would see Sirius again..., when Harry was alone in DD's office and him feeling despise for his own existence, Harry and DD's fight, DD telling Harry the prophecy then crying himself, Harry talking to Nick, and the mirror. Ok, so I basically cried throughout the ending. I also felt sad when Harry was sitting under the tree reminiscing the parallel between the past of the Mauraders and his circle of friends.

[Snuffles16]

:upset: I get tears in my eyes everytime i read it! :upset:

The first time i read OOTP i had to put the book down for 5 minutes so that i could get a grip. My mascara smudged and i ended up looking like i had 2 black eyes! I couldn't face my brothers for days coz they were teasing me.

Now i well up when moony holds harry back, and the tears flow when harrys in dumbledores office.

I fear i may never get over it. :sad:

[Tirwen Lupin]

I never really cried throughout the whole book... There were time when I felt close to it, but it didn't really happen. It's just that I rarely cry while reading a book. Not even when Sirius died--I was just shocked, and couldn't really believe it at first. I did, however, snuffle for about a week afterwards, once it settled in...

[Lupin_Lady]

I bawled when Sirius died, but that was it. Unfortunately the woman at the bookstore where I bought OOTP told me it was Sirius that died.
She was like "Do you want to know who dies?"
And I said, "Someone dies???"
And she said "Yeah, it's Sirius Black."

I was pretty annoyed.

[sirius_gerl]

lol...I got teary eyed when I found out Sirius died...it was so sad! loosing the only family...well, close to family...that accuatly loevd you? having to live with people he hated...not to mention, Sirius was one of my fave. characters...

[LooneyLuna6]

I did too! I cried when sirius died but i really got upset when Harry keep denieing it. :upset:

[MagicianGirl]

I was in tears when I read the part where Sirius died but that's because my eyes were so tired.

[Autumn_izzy]

Oh my god! I must have cried for a week after i finished the book! what a sad ending..

[SiriusPig]

It sucked for me because I have never cried over anything but when sirius died It made me and my sister both break out in tears somehow I hope that sirius is alive someway I think he is

[SilverStar]

No, actually. Which is really suprising for me because I am over-sensitive. It wasn't until about a month later when I was really thinking about it that I broke down.

[koli]

Oh man everytime i read that part of the story i just start to cry (same w/ when he saw his parents in the mirror of erised and that jazz :sad: ) but the thing w/ sirius was so sad, i cried :upset:

[angel65]

yup!!! i cry when i found out that sirius past away :)_

[ravenclaw_girl]

Hiya!! :whistle:
Oh, I can´t remember if I cried and if I did it must have been when I found out that sirius past away...but otherwise I think I didn´t cry because I think this book was so good that I was to excited, reading the book, to cry.

[Ilith]

Oh yes, I did. Sirius was such a great character. (Well, still is, behind that veil). I really hoped for him to have a life after the Azkaban and all the hiding. I cried, but a lot less than for Sirius, when Cedric died as well.

[Nymphadora*]

I definetly cried. I cried, even though i knew Sirius was going to die, i cried when Dumbledore talked about it with Harry, and when Harry was sitting by the lake after, thinking and he wiped his face on his sleeve. That made me tear...and when he yelled into the mirror, expecting to see Sirius. Of course, the part when Harry asked Nearly Headless Nick if Sirius would become a ghost. Kind of gave you false hope...everyone expecting that Sirius would somehow come back as a ghost...but he probably wound't. Anyways...this book was very emotional for me.:)

[Avior]

yeah, I cried, especially when Dumbledore started up. Maybe it's just me being an over-emotional teenager, but that really just set the tears flowin'.

It also happens, crying, when you are a tweenager.

[GryffindorSeeker]

I cried a little. Not when I was reading, I was too enthralled. But later, it just hit me and I began to cry. When I cry during books, I usually cry while I'm reading, but the way this was written, it didn't let me.

[VelvetSkies]

I cried a bit, which is a little unusual for me, at least when it involves books. I cried after Harry sat by the lake thinking about how he was alone and Sirius was dead. *Sniffle* I'm OK, it's not real. *Wail* It's not fair! *All out hysterics* :upset:

[Picko]

I cried for ages and ages and ages and then I cried some more. It was such a very sad moment.

[jennymac]

i didn't right away. it took me a few moments to sink in what had happened. and then it was just shock. i guess it really hit me in dumbledore's office.

it was just weird. he fell through the veil and i guess i had the same thought as harry. subconsiously i thought, well he'll just come out the other side. but reading on, when lupin said he was dead- i had to go back and re-read what happened! lol

[Grace Granger]

I cry over anything actually so crying during OoP was very expected. Though, I didn't cry as much as I thought I would when Sirius died. I cried more over Lupin's reaction to his death. I also cried during the chapter "The Lost Prophecy" to learn the truth about Harry and to read that Dumbledore cry.

[Sun Weasley]

Yes, I cried while reading the OOTP :sad: It was so sad when Sirius died and it was very hard to read the part where Harry screamed Dumbledore and was sad because Sirius had died.

[blue_sapphire20]

yes sun wealey.. i also cried on that part...

[Flobberworm]

I cried at three parts during OotP. The first one was when they ran into Neville in St. Mungo's and he put the gum wrapper in his pocket. Second was when Lupin told Harry that Sirius was dead. Lastly, I think there were tears in my eyes throughout the entire "Lost Prophecy" chapter. I usually don't cry at books, but OotP got me very emotional.

[Brachah]

Only after Sirious died. The sadness didn't hit me right away, because with such fuss on "who will it be!?" around me, it was mostly like, "i knew it!" then "OMG how could he DIE!?" All the fuss in my school kinda ruined the sadness and the true feeling, because the gossip gave me a suspencful feeling, and not a sad one.

[Bingaling]

I nearly started crying right from the beginning when I saw how angry and messed up Harry was, but I didn't. Towards the end, I was in disbelief of everything that was happening, and I didn't react too much when Sirius fell through the veil, at least the first time I read it, I didn't.

I started crying when Dumbledore was telling Harry about the prophecy, and I realized that Harry might die and all. And then Dumbledore shed that tear, and that just did it for me. Now, when I'm rereading the book, I'll cry during alot more for some reason.

Geez, this book just makes me so emotional.

[p0is0n]

Oh gosh yes. That book was a reall tearjerker. I cried throughout most of it. Especially when Harry was getting angry at everyone and when Sirius died. I knew it was coming, because my mom had read the last part of the book and then told me (I will never forgive her for that). Still, it was really sad. When Harry started screaming..."NOO SIRIUS, NOOOO!"

Oh gosh, I can feel the tears coming back already... :sad:

Did you cry while reading Ootp? I did. A lot. I cried almost the whole time I was reading the last few chapters, I cried when Sirius died, even though I knew it was coming (my friend told me) I also cried a lot when Harry found the mirror and was screaming into it but nothing was happening. Oh yeah, and I cried when Beallitrix Lestrang was taunting Neville and threatening to do to him what she did to his parents. I don't think I've ever cried this much while reading a book. I had to keep telling myself "it isn't real, it isn't real..."


I definitely cried, my book is proof- the page area from 850-860 is the saddest. the saddest part for me was when on page 858 he opened up the package with the mirror and then goes "Sirius. Sirius black" and then sirius didn't show up in the mirror because he did not have the mirror with him when he went through the veill.

I will never be the same again, i sware!

[xx Veronica]

Yep I cried, but not when Sirius died. It took me a while for it to sink in. When Harry took out the mirror and shouted Sirius!, then I started crying :(

[dracosgoddess89]

[Chloe]

Thats when i cried... it was so ... *sniffle*.... SAD!!

*bawls into her cloak* :sad:

[Mrs Padfoot]

I didn't just cry when I read it - I cried for about an hour afterwards!

[NiCk RiDdLe]

Wow, everyone was crying basically. But, I didn't cry my friends. I guess I'm just not that type of person. But i did really think it was a sad moment.
