How Many Of You Cried When Dumbledore Died?

I don't know anyone who could not cry. Even if you didn't cry because Dumbledore died you cried because you knew that it was going to be even harder for Harry now that his main protector is six feet under, ya kno.
It had to be really hard not to cry or at least go into a state of depression for a week or so, ya kno.

Ok, ya got me.
No, I didn't cry. The only movie that ever
made me cry was "Born on the Fourth of July."
And that was just because I was so angry.

But a week of depression, yes that sounds familiar.
That's why I started hanging out here -- Therapy.
And I got better than therapy from this place.
I got Dumbledore back.

I probably should have gotten therapy. I was a reck, ya kno.

I cried but I cried harder when Sirius died cause he was young. Dd was ready to move on to the next adventure. Sirius had so much living to make up for. It was sad.

I didn't but I think that's mostly because, even though I hadn't formulated the idea that Dumbledore was still alive yet, I had already had some red flags surrounding his death.

I was actually more impacted by Cedric's death then Sirius'. I think this was for a few reasons. 1) Cedric is the penultimate just, loyal, good, and innocent person. In other words, he is the ultimate Hufflepuff . JKR was very intentional about this to make a point in the story of course.
2) Because I think was too confused and frustrated about Sirius' death at the time. This is one of those things that has to be explained in Book 7. If she doesn't explain it, I think it wa one of those instances where she said she felt like she wrote herself into a corner. I even felt at he time I first read it that it was just a way to create mystery for the sake of mystery without any real explanation or purpose. We shall see though. I hope it gets explained, but I'm not holding my breath.

I personally couldn't care less about Cedric I was sad when he died not for him but for Harry. Becasue of what Harry was going to have to go though, ya kno.
