I think The Prince's Tale and when Harry used the stone to talk to Lupin, Sirius, and his parents were the saddest for me.

I seriously cried throughout those parts though, and I was on the verge of crying many other times!

c00kie · 07-23-2007, 08:59 AM

I agree with xXHPaddict17xX, it was terrible. I loved that bit of the story, but at the same time i was under the impression that Harry was really going to die, just like that. James, Sirius, Lily and Lupin all sounded so comforting. It really got to me.

Another part, like mentioned before, was when Harry was digging Dobby's grave. It was so hard to continue reading, i had to stop at every line.

PinkFish · 07-23-2007, 07:48 PM

I was in tears when Harry was talking about accepting his death. I can't look for the chapter name and number, my mothers stolen the book from me...

But anyway, it was just heart-breaking the read that he was preparing himself to die, and he was planning to do it without saying goodbye. I know that if he had of done he would have been stopped or followed, but it was sad to know that he was facing death alone. Well he had the ghosts of Sirius and the others, but he had no living people. And no goodbyes.

It irritated me so much that chapter because I couldn't read the words with the tears in my eyes

Monkey Princess · 07-23-2007, 08:00 PM

I was in tears during the burial of Dobby, seriously I put the book down for an hour and cried, it was too much to take. Dobby has been a friend and true protector of Harry since CoS, he knew what he was doign when he went to save Harry in the Malfoy Manor. He knew he miught perish by the hands of the Malfoys or Bellatrix, yet he did so anyway, apparating them out with his last ounce of stretch, showing true love.

Another horribly sad moment for me was when Snape died; he went through so much in his life, so much heartache and trials and errors that by doing this one thing, by choosing to give Harry his memories with his last ounce of strength showed Harry how much he did like him. It was a very touching chapter, the Prince's Tale.

Hermionespell · 07-23-2007, 08:03 PM

The part where Snape was crying over Lily in Sirius's old bedroom at Grimmauld Place definitely pulled at my heart. It was so sad that he loved her so much but was pulled away from her by associating himself with the Dark Arts.

Dobby's burial. It made me cry so hard.

Hedwig's death because she meant so much to Harry and seemed to be a form of purity (white).

At the graveyard in Godric's Hollow when Harry was wishing that he was with his parents, dead.

Snape's death. "Look...at...me."

When Bella was torturing Hermione for information and Ron was screaming for her but couldn't do anything.

Fred's death.

When Harry saw Luna's bedroom ceiling with his, Ron's, Hermione's, Neville's, Ginny's faces on it.

Kreacher's tale. Regulus. I just bawled my eyes out.

Actually, I think I was crying throughout the entire book. I know that I cried for a few hours afterwards as well. Actually, I feel like I'm going to cry again right now. Fiddlesticks! -runs off to get tissues-

TonksSB · 07-23-2007, 08:13 PM

The saddest part for me was Harry preparing for his death as he walked through the forest. I really, truly thought he was going to die and remain dead. It took me 15 minutes to get through page 700 (US) because it was so heart wretching.

Fred's death was just so sudden! I was so surprised by that. And, like Harry, I didn't stop and grieve. I probably stared at my book for a minute when Harry moved and saw the bodies of Remus and Tonks lying next to Fred. I was so shocked. I didn't stop to mourn them though until the end. This book was so sad.

Symbi0sis · 07-23-2007, 09:04 PM

I think the saddest part for me was when Fred died. I know everyone else seems to have not mourned for him but when I saw the final words in chapter thirty-one I just sobbed. I couldn't keep going. I just kept thinking about all he and George had been through together and how he forgave Percy and died laughing. I read that part twice. After that I just kept tearing up every time I thought about him.

I didn't really cry for Snape but after his death hearing about him and Lily and when Harry named his son after him and praised Snape I cried a little. It was the realisation that Snape had gone through more than even Harry and Dumbledore. He's my hero.

I cried a little for Dobby but I was more in shock. I couldn't believe that he was dead. I cried when Harry set up the headstone 'Here lies Dobby/A free elf'. It got me about how much Dobby did for Harry; sacrificing himself for Harry.

I cried when I saw Tonks' and Remus' bodies. I kept thinking about how Ted would grow up without parents. And when Remus said he was sorry that he would never know his son I cried more. Ever since I found out that Tonks was in love with Remus I followed their story so closely. Ever single sign of affection including all those random touches and then when their son was born I was o happy for them. When Tonks chased after Remus I cried so much because she really really cared. And when Remus tried to leave her because he was ashamed I wanted to beat him up.

I had been expecting Harry to die and I didn't cry when I found out. But I was really torn up about he didn't even go to see Ron and Hermione or Luna. I think his chosing Neville rather than his best friends to finish the job that he had been given was great of him. But when Ginny walked past and he didn't even whisper 'I love you,', which I really wanted him too, I hated him for it. When he was walking to Voldemort with his parents and Sirius and Lupin I cried a little.

When Hagrid nearly died and when Hedwig and Mad-Eye died I cried. Hagrid was Harry's first real friend. Hedwig was harry only friend when he was in Privet Drive. Mad-Eye just seemed like a constant. he was always there. Even though he was never overly important he was just always there. "Constant Vigilance"

I was touched when Dudley and Petunia finally showed Harry they cared. The fact that Dudley finally did something for Harry. And then I cried a bit when I realised that harry never saw his cousin again.

When Harry talked with Dumbledore I was teary because Dumbledore just about lied to Harry. Even after Harry told the Minister that he was 'Dumbledore's man through and through'.

Kreacher's Tale was sad. It just showed that Kreacher was never bad at heart. he was like Dumbledore said,"made the way he is by wizards"

Finally, I cried when I reached the end of the book and Harry was talking to his son.

Quote:

'What if I'm in Slytherin?'

The whisper was for his father alone, and Harry knew that only the moment of departure could have forced Albus to reaveal how great and sincere that fear was.

Harry crouched down so that Albus's face was slightly above his own. Alone of Harry's three children, Albus had inherited Lily's eyes.

'Albus Severus,' Harry said quietly so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, 'you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.'

This was my favourite book. Even through all of these sad moments.

Marjerie Bluton · 07-23-2007, 09:23 PM

The Prince's Tale was definitely the saddest part for me. When Snape died, and gave Harry his memories I was just kinda like, um okay, but then when we actually got to see all this memories, I was crying like the entire time! Like when Lilly said his name, and he smiled and blushed, that made me just start sobbing. And it didn't stop all throughout the chapter

I just feel so bad for poor Snapey. He was so nice! Reading how much he was really and truly in love with her killed me inside. Snapey deserved love.

And the epilouge was really sad for me too. Just the fact that life could go on normally after all that tragedy was amazing. The last line made me tear up a little too; "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." I don't know why but that touched me so much.

accio.brain · 07-23-2007, 09:32 PM

For me, it was Dobby's death and The Prince's Tale. I just cried so much! Mainly for The Prince's Tale. I expected that Snape loved Lily and that Lily had a little thing for Snape, but ...

... Snape kept on loving her pretty much!

*Padie* · 07-23-2007, 09:33 PM

I started crying on page 551 (UK version) when Dumbledore told Snape Harry had to die until page 568 or something of that sort, some moments after Dumbledore told Harry he wasn't going to die (I think I was crying of joy by then XD). To me, the whole thing of Harry having to sacrifice himself for all the others was the worst, especially when he asked if it was going to hurt. Seriously, by the end of the chapter 34, I wanted to throw the book away and cry forever *sigh*

And then, I obviously cried on the last page because it hit me that this is the last book and... well, it hurts. 6 or 7 years growing up with these books and it's suddenly over... it's hard, really.

Anywho, another sad moment for me was Remus's death 'cause he's without a doubt one of my favourite characters and possibly the one I identify with the most.

griffin_girl · 07-23-2007, 09:34 PM

I cried when Fred died...*loves him*

I also cried in The Prince's Tale...poor Sev...I like calling him that...there's actually a part of me that was wishing Lily ended up with Snape, after I read that...I mean, Snape called Lily 'Mudblood' because he was embarrassed...and he was ticked off! I would've forgiven him after a long time because, hello?! they were bestfriends!

Snape loved Lily from the very start and he was protecting her! I was so touched when I learned that the Doe was Snape's patronus...*has a new respect for Severus Snape*

EmmaRiddle · 07-24-2007, 01:51 AM

Easily the moments when Harry was accepting and subsequently contemplating death. I have never cried so hard whilst reading a Harry Potter book. My vision was so blurred, I had to put the novel down. Which is funny, considering I was one of the people who claimed Harry should die. When it came down to it, considering such a fate was just too upsetting for me, which actually surprised me.

Nattie · 07-24-2007, 05:13 PM

I had a little tear in my eye when Hedwig died. I think it was more about the fact that she died with her being angry with Harry and sulking. I suppose that just got to me.

And Fred's death, the way the ghost of his last laugh was on his face. It painted such an eerie picture, it just stuck with me.

But I pretty much held it together for the rest of the book.

angeline_fire · 07-24-2007, 05:52 PM

Saddest part?
It has to be the Prince's Tale.
Snape, the poor boy, wearing his mother's smock under that large coat, brought up in a troubled family,looking at Lily with a greedy look on his face. He'd loved her since then. Probably since the first time he saw her, that he'd gotten into a routine of watching the girls from behind the bushes. The boy who was made fun of at school. For him the best thing in life was Lily. And how not meaning it he'd called her a mud-blood. How he came begging to Dumbledore to save Lily's life, and in return had promised anything Dumbledore would ask of him. How he devoted his life for Lily's son, never letting Potter know that he cared. And his patronus being a doe like Lily's.*cries*
And his death. The horrible way he died.

Dobby's death too. I'd never thought that Jo would do that. But the whole thing, Harry digging up his grave, making the stone, and all the boys Ron giving him socks, Dean the wooly hat , It was so so moving. I was literally sobbing my heart away for poor Dobby.

dagger · 07-24-2007, 06:15 PM

HarryPotterlovr101 · 07-24-2007, 11:56 PM

I cried when Dobby died, and got choked up when Hedwig was killed. I was in speechless disbelief when Fred was killed, i love him. But worst of all, reading the last few lines in the epilogue, with Harry talking to Albus, omg, i totally lost it.

Pigwidgeon Took · 07-25-2007, 12:34 AM

I cried the hardest when Harry had used the Resurrection Stone and was apologizing over and over again to Lupin, I couldn't handle it and started sobbing like a baby. That's when it really set in that Lupin and Tonks were dead, that Teddy was without parents, and there was no more Marauders.

When Molly was sobbing clinging to Fred's dead chest, that made me cry pretty hard too, and poor George!!!! just thinking about life without Fred made me crings and shrink inside, it's horrible.

Harry digging Dobby's grave manually was nice of him tho, it let out his grief, anger, and frustration into something productive, a grave for one of his first friends. It was sad and I teared, but it wasn't actual crying for Dobby...

Sweet.Nightmare · 07-25-2007, 01:37 AM

To be honest, I cried during most of the book. I've gotton emotional at some point during every single HP book, but I cried the most during this one hands down.

I had so many parts that I was bawling so I'm going to do the top five ones that hit me the hardest. (Note that other than the first one, they aren't in any particular order)

1. When Ron left Hermione and Harry. When Hermione starting running after him and begging him to come back- I could hardly breath from crying so much. I couldn't read for nearly 10 minutes and even then, my vision was blurry and my eyes were puffy. This was probably the worst one for me just because I'm a total R/Hr shipper.

2. When Snape died/ The Prince's Tale chapter. I had a small feeling that he had loved Lily and was prepared for something like that to happen in DH, but when it did, I was so sad. Probably because we found out right after he died. I also cried because he deserved to die diffrently than that- it just wasn't right.

3. When Dobby died. It was probably the death Harry mourned for the most. The whole digging-the-grave thing just made me weap. It was just terribly sad for me- end of story.

4. When they went into Luna's room. I just felt a pang of saddness becuase not many people treat Luna the way she should be treated, calling her 'Loony' and all. She doesn't deserve that- espically since she's such a loyal friend and really values those who are kind to her like that.

5. When Bellatrix was using the Cruciatus Curse on Hermione and Ron was banging on the walls and yelling for her. That was so touching, it tore me up inside.

I took my pillow and hugged it hard during all of these. DH is just such a dramatic book that left me about as heart broken and sad as I've ever been, but I loved it.

I agree; I lost it when he did that, and completely bawled when Lupin aplogized with him...it hit for me thathe would never see his son grow up and become a man. I think that's what did it for me. Just knowing that Lupin died protecting the wizarding world, or trying to from the evil while Harry went and saved them all got me. When I read/saw Lupin with Harry at that moment I knew it wasn't over though, I knew Lupin would be with him forever, and would watch his son grow up.

I think Ted would be proud of his dad and mum though.

I'm crying right now honestly thinking about it

Marah Black · 07-25-2007, 02:58 AM

The saddest parts seemed to be, for me:

The Princes Tale
When Fred, Remus, and Tonks die.
When Harry is surrounded by his mother, father, godfather, and Remus.
As Harry confronts his death.

Simple Muggle · 07-25-2007, 05:54 AM

When fred died.
Harry digging Dobby's grave.
Ron sobbing while Hermione's being tortured by Bellatrix.

All their lives, the twins had been together creating mayhem. It was just hard to imagine one without the other.

When I turned a page and read.. "Nineteen years later." somehow it had finally hit that it has ended.

Ginpotter · 07-25-2007, 06:53 AM

When our beloved characters died like Fred, Dobby, Tonks, Lupin, Colin, Mad eye..etc.

kaZombie · 07-25-2007, 07:29 AM

First one would be when hedwig died. I put the book down to go on msn and talk to my bf and grieve. Even if he was just a bird I still loved him.

Then when Fred died. He is/was in my top ten favorite characters. I never really expected it. Then when we found out when Tonks and Lupin died. I felt so bad for Teddy. Those two were also in my top 5. And it was really short. It was like bam there dead lets move on.

And then when Harry used the ressurection stone and brough back his parents, Sirius and Lupin. I almost cried there.
