Why Did Sirius Have To Die?

if sirius hadn't have died, harry wouldn't have gotten really mad and dumbledore wouldn't have told harry about the prophecy. as cruel as it was, sirius had to die.

i almost cried, and i was mand for days!!!!! by the time i'm writing in this forum, i've read the sixth book loads of times (about twelve, actually) and i know that some people who have written i this have written in the half-blood prince forum, so they know the plot. still, i won't spoil anything. anyway... i still don't really understand why she killed off sirius. i suppose it has a meaning in the sixth book, but it's still got me stumped. i think the other reason is... oh, i just got it! if anybody writing in this hasn't read the sixth book, i won't spoil it for you guys! you'll figure it out if you haven't read it! one clue... RAB.

WHy did sirius die? He is one of my favorite character
I cry when read it........................


WEll the prophecy contains a lot................................
THe prophecy clears a lot of occassions that needs explanetion...............

Don be sad be hopeful,you remember no one saw his body,JKR brought him from the 3th year the 3th book was for him about him so he's so important and I don't think JK has killed him as this soon .

If Sirius isn't dead though, then where is he? Is he figuring out a way to get back from behind the veil?

It seems to me that if Sirius was alive he would have made an effort to let Harry know. If he was willing to live on rats for Harry and pay for a racing broom then he would have somehow gotten word to Harry. It's within his character to do that.

The way Sirius went has always bothered me. I seems like a bit of a cop out to me unless JKR does something with it, but I have the sinking feeling it won't even come up in Book 7.

ya, i too felt it wasn,t fair. harry already suffered so much. he had enough pain widout sirius dying!!

from the begining, harry had luck,
and if he didn't - it would be with reson!
if sirius haven't died, harry would probobly move to live with him, and who knows what else... it would ruin everything!
don't get me wrong - i realy like sirius, and i hate that he's dead

well it helped him in the end didnt it?
it gave him more of a reason to kill voldemort
(not that he needed it though)
i really thought he would live a long life
