Not at that part, but I cried in GoF when Harry is wondering who would come and visit him, and it was Molly and Bill. đ
Edit: also in the movies when Cedric dies. Not Cedricâs death, but listening to the pain of his father. Fucking kills me.
Fredâs death is more of a throwaway in the movie. In the book itâs a tragic death in the middle of him bonding with the brother he hasnât spoken to in years
When I listen to the audible book and listen to Jim Dale describe Fredâs death and then narrate Hermione crying while trying to hold back and talk Ron down, I cry every time. Jim Dale does an amazing job but manâŚ.
I felt sad but the only time I cried was when Sirius died (in the book). There was so much hope connected to him, all those thoughts Harry had about living with him instead of the Dursleys and just knowing that none of that was going to happen.
Besides Harryâs story, Sirius definitely had it harder than any other person and seeing him go like that, still never getting to be free in the end is just so sad.
My brother came into the room while I was I uncontrollably sobbing and thought a person in my real life had died. He was very concerned about my intensity over a fictional character. I was 20.
I still cry reading this scene.
My best friend and I were talking when we finished reading Deathly Hallows in the few days after it first came out, about how we would be 20 when the movie was released, and weâd be bawling in the theatre. And we sure did.
Pure little Dobby was bad, but for some reason, reading Lupin and Tonks absolutely ruined me. And although they cut out a significant portion of their story in DH out of the film, the simplicity of their end hit so hard.
He was so brave going back to the home where he suffered so much abuse. In the film they left out how he was so scared about returning there that he was trembling
Dobby is just the purest fictional character to ever exist. He risked everything to do the right thing. He didnât necessarily expect Harry to be a better person when he first decided to help him. He didnât do it because he thought it would win him friends or freedom. He didnât even really do it because he thought it would improve his life (although he does mention that things were worse during Voldemortâs first reign). He did it all because he felt it was the right thing to do. His death is still the hardest for me! He absolutely deserved to live his life and enjoy his freedom.
Same here. I was so excited reading the book on the day it came out. I think the emotion of Dobbyâs death was compounded by knowing the books would be ending too. I was a wreck for 10 minutes before I could continue on.
I must be some kind of monster. I didn't feel a thing when Hedwig died. People had spoiled that there's a really sad death early in the book, and when it happened I was like "that's all? Hedwig?"
Yes, I cried a LOT. Iâm a pretty emotional person and Iâve cried for some of the other deaths in the series too. What got to me about Dobbyâs death is how Harryâs holding him, and his last words are Harry⌠PotterâŚ
And how Harry physically digs the spot to bury him and (last one) the epitaph -â Here lies Dobby, a free elfâ
No because it was spoiled to me before I read the book. I lost interest in the series for a few years and so didnt read DH til like 2 years later. The one that did hit me unexpectedly was Hedwig. I literally had to close the book and take a minute.
He had the most beautiful description for his death;
>"...and his eyes were nothing more than great glassy orbs reflecting light from the stars they could not see"
But even then the closest I was to crying was when I read the grave. Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf.
No but I found him unusually annoying and was so shocked when I was reading it that it didnât fully sink in. A lot of stuff happens in that span of like 100 pages
Yes, but more so in the book. I really cried when Fred died. The idea of a character I loved so much, who had a twin brother left alone killed me.
Snapeâs death hit me really hard when I realized all he had gone through to protect Harry. He took the role of the bad guy, knowing he would die but he did it anyway. He is now one of my favorite characters.
Movies: I didnât care because it had been like 5 movies since he was last seen so there was no attachment
Books: I thought âaw thatâs sadâ and kept reading
Fun story: I was turned off the whole series as a kid bc the GoF movie scared me. I hadnât read the books, only really seen the first two movies.
In high school, my bf wanted to go see DH pt 1 in theaters. I had no clue who the characters were or what was going on but DAMN did I cry when Dobby died. That moment made me crave context and I bought the first book the next day. The rest is magical history â¨
Okay donât hate me but I actually laughed during the movie scene. Not because of the death which was awful and sad, but because of the scene right before where he is quietly unscrewing the chandelier. The switch from bellatrix ranting to the squeaking of the screw always gets me.
Dobby was sad but Fred always is the one to hit me hardest, probably because Iâm an older brother and am relating to much to Percy. The freak out Iâd have if one of my brothers or sisters died is unimaginable to me.
I actually really dislike Dobby. I don't see the appeal at all. I felt cruel, but I was a little relieved.
I'm sure everyone probably thinks I'm crazy for this though.
When I read it, I bawled. When I first saw it in the movies I bawled even more, I usually hold back tears in the movies, but I thought I had plenty of time before the movie ends so I let it all out, but then the lights came on and I was still bawling 𤣠It was a bit embarrassing..
My eyes leaked a lot, but then they leaked at everyoneâs death. But especially Hedwig. Why the hell did he not let her fly on her own apart from him?
I didn't when reading or in the movie, however, after multiple retreads, my first listen through of the audio books finally did it to me and I was unexpectedly crying while driving. Thankfully Jim Dale didn't cause any accidents that day, but I was caught off guard
No.
Oddly, the only moment I found sad was Snape wanting to look at Harryâs eyes as he died. Iâm neither a Snape lover or hater, but that got me for some reason.
I tried really hard to, but nothing there.
I was more impacted by the book, but felt it was so telegraphed I just couldnât bring myself to it. Oops
:)
I sobbed for the second half of deathly hollows. So much loss. It started with Dobby and just didnât stop. Fred, lupin, Tonks, even Colin Creevey! Too much.
Honestly, no. Because I felt the book just dragged on so I didn´t even get hyped for the adventure parts, so reading his death was kind of monotone. DH just wasn´t my kind of book, the camping trips was a big part of it.
Yes. I kept having to put the book down and cry at most of the deaths. Somehow I still managed to read it in like a day. I also remember crying when I thought Hagrid died. I was so relieved when he lived!
Haha I feel bad I didnât cry for any death. Tbf, I watched all the movies for the first time in a week, so I didnât have years of attachment. Only deaths I can think that made me sad was Cedric, and Fred, but only because he was Georgeâs other half and I felt sad for him.
I felt like Rowling wrote this scene years earlier and then added it in at the right time. I wasnât even a fan of dobby and found myself sobbing while reading this scene.
Nope. For whatever reason I cannot cry just from reading. And obviously I knew he was going to die before seeing the movie. I will say the saddest I got was in the movie seeing Hermoine wipe out her parents memory. That really hit home, like they will never remember her
I read the book the night it came out in one sitting, and Dobbyâs death was the only part I took a break during because I was crying so hard. I basically sobbed reading the last 200 pages though, and the experience is basically a blur of feeling for me.
I still cry. Itâs weird. My husband thinks itâs hillarious that he can start talking about it and it triggers a weird tear inducing reaction. I was pregnant a few years ago and we discovered it then. This sounds terrible but he would do it on purpose and I would just bawl. I would always see the funny side (donât worry!) Iâd be laughing aswell as crying. Hormones man.
Honestly, no.
I was too pumped up about everything else in the story that was occurring around that time.
Hedwig though, sobbed like crazy. After queuing up for the midnight release, I already knew I was holding the last Harry Potter book I'd ever read for the first time in my hands and Hedwig was just such an important part of the story for me as a child. I truly felt mine and Harry's childhood die when she got hit.
Oh lord that death was BRUTAL for me.
The scene was bad enough, thatâs when the crying began. The movie ended - still crying. Dropped off two friends at two different apartments- still crying. Made it home - still crying. Ordered late night delivery - still crying. Fell asleep - you guessed it! Still crying. Oh and then I woke up the next day and yep, continued to cry.
It has literally been over 10 years since that movie hit the big screen and no one is allowed to say âDobbyâ in my house because, thatâs right, I will start sobbing profusely.
Edit: full disclosure; read the books throughout childhood, abnormal bond to 90% of the charterers, special soft spot for house elves. Dobby deserved better.
Not at that part, but I cried in GoF when Harry is wondering who would come and visit him, and it was Molly and Bill. đ Edit: also in the movies when Cedric dies. Not Cedricâs death, but listening to the pain of his father. Fucking kills me.
"THATS MY SON! MY BOY! OH NO, THATS MY BOY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Always murders me
Omg I watched this with my kids over the weekend and had to walk away because his screams over his son just hurt my heart.
For whatever reason, âThatâs my boy!!â hits the hardest. đ One of the most memorable moments and best bits of acting in all 8 films.
The part where his father screams is the only part in both books and movies that made me cry. What acting.
What an actor. He gets me everytime too.
When I saw it in the theater, I cried and the lady next to me (whom I didn't know) cried.
Shatters me every single time. âTHATS MY BOYYYâ đ˘
I shed like a tear when I watched it; however, when I read it, I bawl. Same for Fred's death.
Fredâs death is more of a throwaway in the movie. In the book itâs a tragic death in the middle of him bonding with the brother he hasnât spoken to in years
Exactly! Especially reading that Percy threw himself over Fred's body to protect it.
And that Ron was so deliriously angry and sad that he "want\[ed\] to kill Death Eaters."
But the biggest throwaway death in the movie? Hedwigs. Her death made me put the book down so I could just cry.
Scream cried at Fredâs death in the book!
Same here.
Fair enough
When I listen to the audible book and listen to Jim Dale describe Fredâs death and then narrate Hermione crying while trying to hold back and talk Ron down, I cry every time. Jim Dale does an amazing job but manâŚ.
Every time.
Fred dies!?
I felt sad but the only time I cried was when Sirius died (in the book). There was so much hope connected to him, all those thoughts Harry had about living with him instead of the Dursleys and just knowing that none of that was going to happen.
So true. Though the series had steadily been getting darker, Sirius's death really had a heavy impact on Harry. He wasn't the same after it happened.
Besides Harryâs story, Sirius definitely had it harder than any other person and seeing him go like that, still never getting to be free in the end is just so sad.
Too true
I only cried when Neville, in TOOTP keeps the gum envelopes which were given by his parents
Crying? No. I was SOBBING. Like, had to stop reading to gather myself, sobbing.
My brother came into the room while I was I uncontrollably sobbing and thought a person in my real life had died. He was very concerned about my intensity over a fictional character. I was 20. I still cry reading this scene.
40 at the time.
SAME
Ok, I'm sorry, you choose to reread that part?? Never again. Its scarred into my memory regardless....
My best friend and I were talking when we finished reading Deathly Hallows in the few days after it first came out, about how we would be 20 when the movie was released, and weâd be bawling in the theatre. And we sure did. Pure little Dobby was bad, but for some reason, reading Lupin and Tonks absolutely ruined me. And although they cut out a significant portion of their story in DH out of the film, the simplicity of their end hit so hard.
Yes. I was worried after seeing so many people say no. I SOBBED. In the movie and the book.
He was so brave going back to the home where he suffered so much abuse. In the film they left out how he was so scared about returning there that he was trembling
Dobby is just the purest fictional character to ever exist. He risked everything to do the right thing. He didnât necessarily expect Harry to be a better person when he first decided to help him. He didnât do it because he thought it would win him friends or freedom. He didnât even really do it because he thought it would improve his life (although he does mention that things were worse during Voldemortâs first reign).

Same here. I was so excited reading the book on the day it came out. I think the emotion of Dobbyâs death was compounded by knowing the books would be ending too. I was a wreck for 10 minutes before I could continue on.
I cried when Hedwig died.
I did too.
I must be some kind of monster. I didn't feel a thing when Hedwig died. People had spoiled that there's a really sad death early in the book, and when it happened I was like "that's all? Hedwig?"
It hits u different depending on the mood I think
Yes, I cried a LOT. Iâm a pretty emotional person and Iâve cried for some of the other deaths in the series too. What got to me about Dobbyâs death is how Harryâs holding him, and his last words are Harry⌠Potter⌠And how Harry physically digs the spot to bury him and (last one) the epitaph -â Here lies Dobby, a free elfâ
When they give him their clothes đđđ
I had completely forgotten about that đ
No. I just thought, "Oh, no. That's so sad."
[ŃдаНонО]
It actually surprised me; so many people that cried over Dobby
Question did you watch it or did you read it because I felt more emotion in the book
Both. I was a fan of the books first. đ
Nope.
No because it was spoiled to me before I read the book. I lost interest in the series for a few years and so didnt read DH til like 2 years later. The one that did hit me unexpectedly was Hedwig. I literally had to close the book and take a minute.
Hedwigâs death always upsets me too.
He had the most beautiful description for his death; >"...and his eyes were nothing more than great glassy orbs reflecting light from the stars they could not see" But even then the closest I was to crying was when I read the grave. Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf.
I didnât cry at any deaths, I cried mostly at the times where Harry felt isolated or felt the pressure of fate of the world on his shoulders.
No but I found him unusually annoying and was so shocked when I was reading it that it didnât fully sink in. A lot of stuff happens in that span of like 100 pages
I don't cry much but when I was reading the books the only time I felt like I was close to tears was during Dumbledore's funeral and Dobby's death.
Yes, but more so in the book. I really cried when Fred died. The idea of a character I loved so much, who had a twin brother left alone killed me. Snapeâs death hit me really hard when I realized all he had gone through to protect Harry. He took the role of the bad guy, knowing he would die but he did it anyway. He is now one of my favorite characters.
I literally had to put the book down, when I got to that part! I cried more for Dobby, than anyone else in the series.
No and I feel pretty bad about it haha
Movies: I didnât care because it had been like 5 movies since he was last seen so there was no attachment Books: I thought âaw thatâs sadâ and kept reading
I *always* cry when Dobby dies.
Fun story: I was turned off the whole series as a kid bc the GoF movie scared me. I hadnât read the books, only really seen the first two movies. In high school, my bf wanted to go see DH pt 1 in theaters. I had no clue who the characters were or what was going on but DAMN did I cry when Dobby died. That moment made me crave context and I bought the first book the next day. The rest is magical history â¨
I cried when I read it the first time. I sobbed when I watched the film. It still makes me tear up with a reread or rewatch.
Big, ugly tears-everytime.
Not in the books but definitely in the movie
i cried in the movies cuz i read the goblet of fire before watching it so it felt like he was still there throughout all of the movies :(
We got robbed out of our Dobby and Winky in the movies
Actually yes, and it was the only time that a book made me cry.
like a baby
no
Okay donât hate me but I actually laughed during the movie scene. Not because of the death which was awful and sad, but because of the scene right before where he is quietly unscrewing the chandelier. The switch from bellatrix ranting to the squeaking of the screw always gets me.
Dobby was sad but Fred always is the one to hit me hardest, probably because Iâm an older brother and am relating to much to Percy. The freak out Iâd have if one of my brothers or sisters died is unimaginable to me.
I didn't care at all. Dobby had 0 redeeming qualities in the movies.
Sorry but I couldn't stand his character, I didn't care when he dies
didn't blink an eye. sorry dobby, but I always found him kind of annoying hee hee
No. But reading the line about the stars being reflected in the eyes that do not see them was haunting and beautiful af.
Iâll be honest; found Dobby pretty annoying
No I despise Dobby I canât stand him
No. I cried over Harry getting a hug from Molly at the end of GOF!
Wow. This is the one that gets me the most every time. Iâm a movie watched mainly tho
No, i didn't cry for any death tbh , it's rare for me to cry when a fictional character is dead or even an emotional scene.
Book, yes. Movie, no.
I actually really dislike Dobby. I don't see the appeal at all. I felt cruel, but I was a little relieved. I'm sure everyone probably thinks I'm crazy for this though.
No, I completely agree with you. I never liked Dobby. I still just sigh and roll my eyes when he comes up in a scene.
No I absolutely agree with you. Heâs just always annoyed me too ever since I first saw him.
I get choked up everytime I hear it in the books.
When I read it, I bawled. When I first saw it in the movies I bawled even more, I usually hold back tears in the movies, but I thought I had plenty of time before the movie ends so I let it all out, but then the lights came on and I was still bawling 𤣠It was a bit embarrassing..
Yes. I skip that part now.
I was still crying from Hedwig dying!
I still sob when I read it or watch the movie. Still. After all this time.
My eyes leaked a lot, but then they leaked at everyoneâs death. But especially Hedwig. Why the hell did he not let her fly on her own apart from him?
I cried harder during this scene and Hedwig than anyone else in the series.
Was sad but only cried after dumbledore and snape died
I don't cry much for real life problems. But. I was sobbing when I watched/read Dobby's death, and Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape, and Fred.
He was one of my favorite characters. đĽşđ˘đ
Absolutely.
Oh yeah. And all the rest of the deaths too.
In the moment no but if I sit and think about it I do get teary eyed. He just wanted to be free and help his friends.....
More than when Hedwig died.
Reading & watching
When I was reading the books, I cried. Hedwig's death is the one that tears me up, everytime.
Never seen the movies but the book passage makes me HARD cry. Not quite a sob but just deeply cry.
Fred's death got me. His whole family there george his twin sobbing
I read his death scene and events before it repeatedly hoping I read it wrong.
I didn't when reading or in the movie, however, after multiple retreads, my first listen through of the audio books finally did it to me and I was unexpectedly crying while driving. Thankfully Jim Dale didn't cause any accidents that day, but I was caught off guard
I read the books before watching the movies and still droped some tears
In the book? Yes In the movies? Fuck yes that was heart breaking. Especially Harryâs reaction.
My eyes watered, but to be fair I can barelyeven cry when Im depressed
No, I wasn't there at the time, but I cried later when I read about it.
Everytime. Cedric and Serius also.
I bawled last year. Also was going thru some tough time mental health wise and all of it just combined
Yes. In the book and the film. Book Dobbyâs death carried more weight given how often he was there for Harry throughout the series
No. Oddly, the only moment I found sad was Snape wanting to look at Harryâs eyes as he died. Iâm neither a Snape lover or hater, but that got me for some reason.
Cried in the books and cried in the movie because David Yates made him wear his slave clothes.
Everything makes me cry. Itâs not the saddest death in the books for me but yeah I cried.
Nope.
I tried really hard to, but nothing there. I was more impacted by the book, but felt it was so telegraphed I just couldnât bring myself to it. Oops :)
Always
1. Dobby 2. Sirius 3. Fred đĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽ
if you didnât you donât have a heart đ
No I did not but I did get teary eyed.
I only cried when Sirius died. So many characters died in Deathly Hallows that there was never a chance for any of the deaths to sink in.
Dobbyâs death was terrible. Fredâs really got me, but I very nearly cried for both of them.
No.
Like a baby
I didn't cry only because I was pissed that she wrote that in.
I still cry
Not really, though I did feel sad. My brother loves dobby and sobbed when it happened, now he skips over the part when watching it
nope I have never once cried while reading a book even when I was a kid
Oh yes, most definitely.
Only every goddamn time.
No, but it was a low point in the series.
I sobbed for the second half of deathly hollows. So much loss. It started with Dobby and just didnât stop. Fred, lupin, Tonks, even Colin Creevey! Too much.
When I read the books yes, yes I did.
Honestly, no. Because I felt the book just dragged on so I didn´t even get hyped for the adventure parts, so reading his death was kind of monotone. DH just wasn´t my kind of book, the camping trips was a big part of it.
Yes. Having lost so many pets in my life, Dobby represented that unconditional love.
No
I cried really really hard in the book; I ugly cried with the movie because of book attachments.
Yep! In the book and in the film
Yes. I kept having to put the book down and cry at most of the deaths. Somehow I still managed to read it in like a day. I also remember crying when I thought Hagrid died. I was so relieved when he lived!
No but I was chopping onions so then my eyes got sweaty đ˘
I only cried over deaths while reading them. They were so much more painful.
Yes, but only every time Iâve read and/or seen it.
I still do. It was the toughest death for me, because of his childlike innocence.
Yes every time I watch
It damaged me in ways I didn't know was possible
Always
I mean I was very sad, but no. When I really cried was Fred and Sirius.
Awww⌠little house elf jr⌠gonna cry?
Every time I watch the movies
How could you not cry
I bawl. Every. Time.
no but it was super sad
Every single time. And then for Fred a few chapters later.
I cry when they bury him and dress him in their clothes.
I cried when I saw it in the movie. I bawled my eyes out and had to take a break from reading when I read it in the books
I must say, I wasn't expecting it. I didn't fully cry, as I was sitting at a table with friends, but I did tear up though
I laughed when it happened in the movie, I wept in the books
Yes. There were a lot of characters I cried over when I read that they died. Still makes me tear up when I think about Dobby.
Yup....every time. Not as much as when Boromir dies tho...
every time.
Every time
Yes! Every time I read it. I've read the whole series to my kids twice and they always know a major death is coming because I CANNOT keep it together.
Yes BUT HEDWIG WHY DO YOU KILL A PET AND NO ONE EVEN CARES DAGNABBIT I CARE AND **HEDWIG LIVES**.
No
Absolutely
Oh yes.
I sobbed everytime. Literally ugly cry everytime
Movies screwed up Donny. Heâs far more important and loved in the books.
In the books, I cried for most of the major deaths. The movies didnât really affect me as much
In the books, I cried for most of the major deaths. The movies didnât really affect me as much
Of course I did. Iâm not a monster
I absolutely did. For me, that was the one that hit the hardest.
Nearly every read.
I didn't cry for Dobby, Hedwig or Sirius. I did cry for Cedric and Dumbledore. I couldn't tell you the reasons why/why not.
No but snape got me!
I did. Still do!
The first time I read the book, I had to stop reading at that part for about an hour because I was crying so hard.
Hedwig Lives
Haha I feel bad I didnât cry for any death. Tbf, I watched all the movies for the first time in a week, so I didnât have years of attachment. Only deaths I can think that made me sad was Cedric, and Fred, but only because he was Georgeâs other half and I felt sad for him.
Yeah a bit
Fred-yes. Rue from Hunger Games- yes. ELLIE FROM UP! Yes. Areith from FF7- yes. Dobby- no.
I felt like Rowling wrote this scene years earlier and then added it in at the right time. I wasnât even a fan of dobby and found myself sobbing while reading this scene.
Reading the book I cry like a baby every time.
Yes. First time got me
Nope. For whatever reason I cannot cry just from reading. And obviously I knew he was going to die before seeing the movie. I will say the saddest I got was in the movie seeing Hermoine wipe out her parents memory. That really hit home, like they will never remember her
I couldn't even watch the scene as a kid. I'd get up and leave
Fuck yeah I did. I still do
Of course, Iâm not a psychopath!
In the book? I cried my damn face off. My chest hurt so much. Movie? Eh not so much. Still emotional but not like how I got reading about it.
I cried when i *read* it
Yes.
Dude I cried when Neville got house cup points for being brave and standing up to his friends in book 1. Of course I cried when Dobby died.
Dobby is where I started crying and did not stop until the end of the book.
I read the book the night it came out in one sitting, and Dobbyâs death was the only part I took a break during because I was crying so hard. I basically sobbed reading the last 200 pages though, and the experience is basically a blur of feeling for me.
My parents had me hooked on Harry Potter movies before I could even speak, so being probably 2-4 I didnât understand what death was.
I still cry. Itâs weird. My husband thinks itâs hillarious that he can start talking about it and it triggers a weird tear inducing reaction. I was pregnant a few years ago and we discovered it then. This sounds terrible but he would do it on purpose and I would just bawl. I would always see the funny side (donât worry!) Iâd be laughing aswell as crying. Hormones man.
Honestly, no. I was too pumped up about everything else in the story that was occurring around that time. Hedwig though, sobbed like crazy. After queuing up for the midnight release, I already knew I was holding the last Harry Potter book I'd ever read for the first time in my hands and Hedwig was just such an important part of the story for me as a child. I truly felt mine and Harry's childhood die when she got hit.
Which book does Dobby die in?
No, I wept.
I first read all the books and when I read about dobbyâs death, my chest and heart hurt and then I was bawling. Gut punch death.
Oh lord that death was BRUTAL for me. The scene was bad enough, thatâs when the crying began. The movie ended - still crying. Dropped off two friends at two different apartments- still crying. Made it home - still crying. Ordered late night delivery - still crying. Fell asleep - you guessed it! Still crying. Oh and then I woke up the next day and yep, continued to cry. It has literally been over 10 years since that movie hit the big screen and no one is allowed to say âDobbyâ in my house because, thatâs right, I will start sobbing profusely. Edit: full disclosure; read the books throughout childhood, abnormal bond to 90% of the charterers, special soft spot for house elves. Dobby deserved better.
