| | |  J.K.Rowling talks Dobby the House Elf
MTV has further quotes from J.K.Rowling's U.S. Open Book Tour in which she talks about the senseless murder of Dobby the House Elf in Deathly Hallows. Quote:
“I suppose you could say very prosaically that Dobby had to die so he couldn’t tell Harry who had sent him,” Rowling explained, referencing Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus’s brother who Harry doesn’t learn about until much later on in the novel. “But that’s not why. For me, Dobby’s death woke Harry up to what he was doing.”
Quote:
“[Dobby was] someone that was very vulnerable and really entirely guiltless in anything concerned with the wizarding world – who wasn’t even a wizard,” Rowling said. “It was another senseless murder in the same way that Cedric Diggory’s death was senseless, purely because they were there. And I think there’s something particularly chilling about entirely innocent victims of violence.”
There's still no word on whether Dobby will make it into the Half-Blood Prince film. | |

I really hope that they put Dobby in the movie. They have been slowly cutting down his part in them, probably because they did not think that his character would be important. Now after the last book they should know that he is an important role they should start adding him back in. I cried and had to stop reading for a while when Dobby died.

The difference about Dobby's death is that it was someone he knew well, unlike Cedric, or even his parents. Harry loved Sirius, of course, but Sirius was not necessarily an innocent bystander...

I agree. I think he needs to be brought back into the films. He was a loved character by all people whether they had only watched the films or read the books and watched the films. I think also for the people who have only watched the films, they will be able to connect with his death in the last film and understand and how heartbreaking it is, it was a very very sad time in the story.

Aww...so sad. But, I totally see what she means, but I would have liked to have seen Dobby do more, like with SPEW or something!

I was in an ocean of tears when Dobby died (the same with all the other characters that died-besides Crabbe, Wormtail, Voldemort of course) I really hope they put Dobby in the Half Blood Prince, he's like, probably one of the most important minor characters ever!

Oh no...I cried for a really long time after I read the sentence which told us that evil Bellatrix Lestrange's knife went straight to Dobby. I think so too. I think his death did wake Harry up. I also wish that they would have Dobby in Half-Blood Prince. He only came out in Chamber of Secrets, and that was all. He's a really important character, and I, all of us, love him very much.

Hmm, interesting. I cried my head of when Dobby died. I don't know, it's just he was involved, when he so easily could have backed out if he'd wanted to. | |
