Guess what I voted for...Muahahahah :laugh:

Anyway I think Sirius was a more tragic death. We knew DD was going to die we have always known. He was basiclly shouting through the whole of HBP "IMAGONNADIE!!!" So yeah...:P

I think sirius was the most tragic loss i mean dumbledore was old anyway (aren't i nice? :P )

Sirius was so kewl and was the cutest little doggy eva! lol :lol:

lol! like mel said dd was old anywayz but he was important and had lots no i mean tons of secrets no one else knows and we will never know because he died. but he was more a loss than sirrious even though i knew he was going to die

I'm undecided between DD and Sirius.
Of course Sirius was the coolest character the book ever had... but DD is the nice, caring wise old man.
Sirius of course was way more unexpected, but then his death scene was a little rushed, and a bit of a mess really, so it didn't sink in really until it was too late.
I knew Dumbledore was going to die even before i started reading (I made someone tell me under threat of physical harm... ;) ) but when it hapenned I cried. I don't know why, I guess DD's death just sort of means that all the major good is gone from the world (of HP anyway... since the LC is still here :D ).

Dumbledore was the most tragic lost but Sirius I have to say was the most important. It was a metaphor for hope, persistence, and obviously sacrifice. If you remember and read the book, Harry hadn't forgotten about Sirius meaning that no matter what Voldemort had done, it had never destroyed anything completely. Now that is a metaphor for failure.

Siris NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, I don't believe that Bumbles is actually gone, so obviously Sirius. Bumbles IS NOT DEAD! If you believe me, tell me. If you think I'm wrong, tell me that too.

You should visit Dumbledore Is Not Dead.com then Rayne, if you haven't been there already.

Hehe, that's ironic, Shonk, I believe that I was the one that posted it on this page already. Funniness.

(reply wasn't showing)

I actually have to say Dunbledore because he always seemed to help Harry so much and Hogwarts was always safe to him. I'm not sure wether to believe if he's dead or not cause the same questions went up when Sirious died but it could be possible.

I didnt read the whole book for a week after sirius died i was having a nervous breakdown!

Okay, I am really conflcited with this one. Dumbeldore death I saw coming for awhile because it's a Harry cliche that he looses everyone close to him. I think I would have put Dumbledore in a coma or something, death is so permanent know what I mean? No way of coming back. With a coma or something, there's always an opportunity to come back and such.

But Sirius's death was also tragic because they left it opened like a presumed death! Well, no one who goes beyond the veil ever survives . . .but what about this time?

I cant vote seeing as I have 3 different people:
Sirius,it was rally unexpected
Dumbledore,sure he's old,but it came as a huge shock to me.I read that one line over about 10 times!
And...
Snape,I know he's not dead,but in a way we've lost him...

DUMBLEDORE IS NOT DEAD!!!!!!
And I loved siri that was sad.

I thought Dumbledore was the most tragic death because Harry looked up to him so much and he also had som many things left to tell Harry (Although I do believe that is portrait is going to help alot.).

Sirius!!!that could have 2 do since he was 1 of my fav characters as well but... we all new Dumbledore was gonna die and leave Harry alone 2 fight!!!

I think Sirius was more of a loss to Harry then Dumbledore. When Sirius died Harry was in such a rage that he attempted to tear Dumbledore's office apart. But when Dumbledore died he was just dumbstruck. As well Dumbledore was a mentor with whose death taught Harry that he was forced to a fight that he could never escape but he had the choice to be pushed into that fight or walk in as the one in control of his decision. Sirius was like a brother Harry had never had. Dumbledore was a mentor.

I think the reason he didn't throw a tantrum with Dumbledore's death like he did with Sirius's is because he grew up and realized that losing it like that is just childish and doesn't change anything. He does cry though.

:no:
I really think that Sirius was the more tragic of all the losses. Here he was Lily and James' friend, wrongly imprisoned for their betrayal. He spent all those long lonely, tortured years in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit. He finally gets out and reveals to Harry who he truly is and what happened that tragic night when his parents died. He is almost sucked souless by however many dementors there were trying to catch him. Harry ends up saving him and rescuing Sirius again from the fated dementors kiss. Skipping to OOTP, Sirius is under orders to keep out of sight and stay in Headquarters with that foul loathsome house elf, Kreacher, who sets up both Harry and Sirius, and then on top of that, Sirius ends up falling through the death curtin. :blink:

Like almost everyone, i'm split between Sirius and Dumbledore.

Sirius was the only grown up out side of Hogwarts Harry could really talk to. Yes, there was Lupin, but he's not around as much as Sirius was, or tried to be. Sirius was the parent Harry never got, which is what made his death so tragic. But Sirius was only around for 3 books . . .

Dumbledore was . . . well he was Dumbledore! You don't need to worry as long as Dumbledore is around! That's why his death was expected of the series. It's a common fantasy theme that the mentor to the hero has to die, or has to be left behind, other wise the hero won't be able to grow as he should because the mentor could so what he couldn't other wise.
I think . . . i'm going to have to say Dumbledore for me. As much as Sirius was to Harry, I was a lot more connected to Dumbledore in all the books.

well, when i first got into the harry potter books, the order was the first one i read, so when sirius died i really didn't appreciate the charater like i did when i started from the beginning. i didn't understand the seriousness of sirius' charater ( no pun intended , haha) but when i read the HBP i really understood what it meant not on for harry but for everyone ( wizards and muggles alike) to lose this great man. so loosing Dumbledore was much more traumatic for me. and i'm not ashamed to admit i cried liuke a baby, both times. i kinda stunned myself, i had to remember it was just a book. but i think that goes to show what wonderful work rowling has done.

I would have to say Lily and James actually. Because if they hadn't died then Harry would never have had to "survive" Voldy's curse, and Sirius would never have put in Azkaban. Harry never would have been famous, so no one would have put him in the GoF and put a portkey in the tournament, so Cedric never would have died. Dumledore probably wouldn't have died either!!!! So really their deaths were the root of all these deaths!!!!!

to me the most tragic lost would have to be Dumbledore if only because he meant so much to so many people. I know Sirius was important also but if ya think of all the students at Hogwarts many of them didn't know who Sirius was so his death wouldn't affect them as much as thier Headmaster's Death would unfortunately i also believe that the most tragic death is still yet to come

::Cries:: "DUMBLEDORE...NOOOOOO!!!" why? why him? why did snape have to kill him?






I'LL MISS YOU!!!!

Well, I'm gonna vote for Cedric, because somebody really should. Cedric is not a big loss to the HP story or to the trio, but he was the youngest to die, he died bravely, and his family is totally grief stricken.

Cedric's death was the most pointless. The others were all in the Order, and they knew what the risks were. Cedric was just a student trying to compete in a tournament.

Let's have a moment of silence for Cerdic now.

(And Dumbledore isn't dead anyway!)

1)Lily and james would have been tragic for he rest of the order...but the rest of the world would have been having a party due to voldies defeat...so no to that...

2)Cedrics death was indeed a tragidy...but people may have expected it to happen...after all people have already died before in a tri wiz tournament. a good second place....

3) Serius's was only really tragic to harry and his closest friends/ order....(the
rest of the world was after all hunting him at the time..

4) so that why I picked the dumble bee Dumbledore :lol: ..*ahem
* cough cough*

Well ...think about it his death affected the Order, harry and most of the rest of the entire wizarding world....even Draco was affected by it.....since even he couldn't kill dumbledore...

so yes... I will have to settle on Dumbledore

To me Sirius was the more tragic loss. He is one of my favorite characters, and Harry was getting to know him and he died. Harry already has no one except Ron and Hermione and here comes Sirius his glimmer of hope. And then that gets dashed! Poor Harry has had a terrible life loosing all the people that meant the most to him. So I was crushed when Sirius died! The second would have to be dumbledore because he was someoe Harry really depended on and looked up to.

I'm all with Twi on this one: Cedric.

Going for pure tragedy for tragedies sake? Has to be Cedric! The poor bloke had nothing to do with Harry's history, kneww him only by aquaintance really, and had no place in the fight against Voldermort.

Tragedy really is being in the wrong place at the wrong time for a fight that wasn't yours and with no chance to express your skills and defend yourself.

As much as I was personally more attached to the other characters (aside from Lilly and James) I really have to say that poor Cedric had the most tragic of deaths, he had no choice and no chance.

Cedric. He was young and just strating out his life. He did nothing to get into the situation he was in when he was killed and hardly had a oment to figure it out before he died. He was more of a victim than anyone else. Though it killed me when Sirius and Dumbledore died. Big loses, all of them.

I believe the most tragic death is Lily and James. It could just be the place I am in my life, with a small child of my own. But think about it, they loved each other and they loved their child. Their lives could have been so happy. Harry could have had two parents that loved him and each other. He would have been lucky indeed to have that. He would not have grown up to be the same man, and that might have been a tragedy in itself to the wizarding world. And as Dream pointed out, none of the rest of the deaths would have happened... well at least not for the same reasons. I am sure Sirius and Dumbledor would have died fighting Voldemort somehow. JK Rowling made Lily's death so heart wrenching that I just see her standing in front of Harry's crib with her arms stretched to either side and it breaks my heart because I know I would do the same thing for my child. So not only do I believe Lily and James' deaths to be the most tragic, but also (Lily's mostly) the most heroic.

Cedrick's comes next because he didn't even have a chance to live his life.

Spoiler

But now that we all know how it ends... I feel so bad for Lupin and Tonks. They didn't even get the year with Teddy. But I cried the most for Dobby. When Ron took his socks off and put them on Dobby, that was it for me. I had to take a break.

This thread was obviously made before the final book came out because my answer has completely changed as it should! OBVIOUSLY the most TRAGIC death of all is my beloved FRED WEASLEY! *goes and sobs again* I have said it many times now, but she's just so wrong.... It was a pointless death in so many ways. :cry:

ONLY READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU HAVE READ THE LAST HARRY POTTER BOOK!



I'd think I'd have to say other, and for other I know this may sound kind of weird but for me other would be Hedwig. I just couldn't belive that JK Rowling killed her. She was such a cute owl and I don't think I'll ever get over that JK Rowling killed her. I don't know how (when it comes out) in theathers and on dvd I'll be able to watch the part that she dies in. It's just so sad. When that part happened I didn't know how I was gonna finish the book, but since I'm such a Harry Potter fan I did it.

I think that Sirius was the tragic loss because he said, "we're going to be a regular family together..." and he just...dies? I would kill myself if I was Harry. And BTW, this is kind of a spoiler. we should watch out...

FWEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD>......NOOOOOO

Yeah, why did it have to be fred, and lupin and tonks and sirus and dumbledore and lily and james (and all the other that I made a list for and it is hanging on my wall in my room.)... NONE OF THEM DESEVRED TO DIE!!!

Fred!! :cry: I cried when Fred died....
It was soooooo sad!

OMG u guys are wussieesssss....LOL
I didnt really cry when Fred died, I kind of expected it, and I was never a twins fan. So for me, it was just kind of like.."Oh he died.". I cried, actually more like bawled when Sirius died, my favorite character. For me, he was like our link to the past to find out about Harry's parents life. So then I shifted to my second favortie, Lupin and Tonks. AND SHE KILLED THEM AFTER THEY JUST HAD A SON! I cried then to. ANd the worst is we dont know how they died.....

It's a cruel..cruel world...

I am not a WUSSIE!!! :angry:
You better watch it. I'll get you for that. I'll go :maulkitty: on you.

Sirius, Lupin, and Tonks were sad a 'spose. But Fred was really sad!! :cry:
