I have to say that I practically bawled the first time I read it so I had to read it again recently. I bawled the second time too.

But the deaths that struck me the hardest were definitely Hedwig, Dobby, and Fred.

I loved Hedwig all through the books and he always was with Harry.

Dobby was not a favorite character of mine but it hit me hard when he died after saving Harry and everyone. It was worse when Harry was burrying him the muggle way.

Fred's death hit me the hardest of the three. I was a twin lover ever since the first book and after George lost his ear I cried and when Fred died I totally sobbed. Fred and George were definitely tow of my all time favorite characters from the books and I can't imagine one living without the other.

Moody, Tonks, and Lupin also hit me hard but not as bad I guess.

That concludes my rambling.

I threw a sobbing fit a Fred's death. I saw it coming due to spoilers on wikia.
But I was never prepared for the actual thing.
Hedwig's death made me very distraught, being the avid animal lover I am. And he's practically never mourned or thought of again in the book!
I disliked the death of Snape, because you finally learn the truth after wards; and it's very upsetting.
Now, I'm not one of those weirdos who liked Voldermort, but I was selfishly very upset when he died 'cause it really meant the end.
The end...
-sigh-
It was truly a great series. Anybody who believes otherwise is off their rocker.
Either that or a complete idiot.
Oh! I was also very upset by Lupin and Tonk's death. Poor Teddy...
Outside of the seventh book, I was none too happy with the loss of Dumbledore and Sirius.
Despite being fictional, I miss them all dearly.

The first time I read it, I didn't cry at all. Probably because I had part of it spoiled by a friend who had beaten me in reading it and just had to call me to tell me, lol. I did however cry the second time at Harry's "death". I always like stories that emotionally draw me in.

I think after getting over the shock over hedwig it really set the tone for what I thought other tragedies would come in the book.
I was really sad after finding out Fred died.

I can't decide between Dobby and Snape.

With Dobby, we have this unexpected, heart-wrenching death scene followed by a funeral worthy of his heroism; the way it's all written will make you sob as if you were there with the characters as they clutch his small, bloodied body as they lay him to rest.

Snape on the other hand had an ignominious death in which, at that point of the story, you're not sure whether to feel sorry for him or not. But as you read through the flashbacks and slowly realize that he had been one of the good guys all along and did not deserve to die like that, you feel this empty sorrow for him.
