Question: Uncalled For HP deaths!?
I have just about finished the 7th Harry potter book for the third time, and I was thinking, does anybody else feel that some of the deaths are EXTREMELY uncalled for!? Like Collin Creevey and Tonks for instance!? Come on! as if It isn't already sad enough! (Don't get me wrong! It is my second favorite book ever!(following the HBP)
But did JK really need MORE tears!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I believe that JK Rowling is trying to get the point across to her readerds that wars take lives!. However, these people died defended the people and beliefs that they loved and held dear!. Don't get me wrong, I cried like a baby when Severus died and left Harry his memory, I will probably be blubbering when the movie comes out!. Teddy being left an orphan was heartbreaking too!. But he can be proud that his parents died together protecting him and his world!.

In many interviews, where fans ask the exact question, Rowling states that Harry is growing up!. He faces choices and hardships and its how he deals with them that makes him a true wizard!.

War has uncalled for deaths, no!? And a war was happening at the end of the book!.

also, on a different note, if Rowling would have kept them alive, then she would have to bother explaining what happened to them!. Or else the Y!A question board will be filled with wonderment's of what happened to Creevey, Tonks, and others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I thought the most unexpected death for me was actually that of Hedwig!.(and it upset me the most) Sure, she was just an owl, but she had been there for Harry to talk to since book 1!. Even when he was with his aunt and uncle, he always had Hedwig!. Her loss was almost a stripping away of any semblance of childhood left for Harry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah i agree
she only killed off lupin and tonks so harry could bring up their child as their godparent
and i couldn't believe cedric died!!!!
dobby was a real tearjerker as well :(Www@QuestionHome@Com

The whole book is full of them, starting with Hedwig in the first few pages!.

Killing one of the twins was just cruel!.
