Oh geez, now I'm at work thinking about Dobby. I remember yelling at my husband (who read ahead of me in the series), "Dobby dies? DOBBY DIES???!!!! You let me just get surprised by that?!" There may or may not have also been a thrown book. . . . But I also cried over Snape. . . and Harry asking his Mom if she would stay with him to the end. . .Sigh. That book was brutal.

I'm pretty sure DS7 will not be emotionally ready for Harry Potter until he's 21.
