You are  right, watching Sirius die is really really going to suck.  
I just  thought about this, they didn't even have a memorial service 
for Sirius in  the books, I wonder if they will do that in the OOTP 
Movie?  I feel  so sorry for Harry now that there wasn't a ceremony 
for the closest thing  he had to family during that time.  

I watched Azkaban for the  first time after reading HBP the other day 
and this freaked me out:   When Harry was waking up in the hospital 
wing Fred or George says "He just  fell over a hundred feet, how 
would you look if you just fell from the  Astronomy Tower?"  I 
thought of poor Dumbledore, and I wondered if  that is the part that 
gave Rowling the chills from the movies.

Have  a great weekend ya'll

Long before HBP came out, I thought Harry needed "closure" on  Sirius's death 
-- I was so frustrated with the fanfics I was reading that the  idea of 
giving Harry a way to grieve for Sirius made me write a sixth year story  that 
became a novel (930 pages -- that's a novel, not a "story"!)  That  story spawned 
a sequel, a seventh year fic which is even longer.  I read  HBP looking 
hopefully to see how close I got to the memorial JKR would do for  Sirius and BOY 
was I disappointed!!  I can't believe she didn't have  Dumbledore, Remus or the 
Order do SOMETHING to help Harry get past it!   Argh.  
 
I'm not looking forward to Sirius's death in the OoP movie either,  but BOY 
I'm looking forward to GoF!  Even with the liberties they seem to  have taken 
(from what I can tell from looking at the trailers), it's going to be  a 
visually stunning, very exciting film!  I can't WAIT to see it,  especially the 
second task, which is probably my favorite "adventure" in all the  HP books!
 
I saw PoA 8 times in the theaters, including once at an IMAX  theater -- I 
plan to see GoF at LEAST that often (matinees are certainly easier  on the 
wallet!)  Can't wait to see it!
 
Oh, if you want to read my stories, go here:  
_http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPRefinersFire/_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPRefinersFire/)    I sure 
wish JKR had given Sirius some kind of "send off" for Harry's sake -- I  can't 
understand why she didn't.  What a glaring omission!!  Maybe the  filmmakers 
will put it in, at least at the end of OoP, just for "closure."   They've changed 
so many things, why not?

And yes, that comment about  being dropped off the Astronomy tower probably 
was one of the things that  surprised JKR!
