i told myself before, i can stand so much death in harry potter as long as it is not dumbledore or hagrid but… *deep sigh*. oh well, dear jk rowling, i’m trying to hold back tears. i guess you never promised about this person not dying but if it makes for a better story, who am i to argue? you’re really brilliant; thanks for such a wonderful book. can’t wait for the last one (and the next movie, as well).
