Re; emotions in GoF

[Sharon Hawkinson]

Oh, I totally agree here. When I saw the movie, I was in tears big time seeing the graveyard scene and Harry's return with Cedric's body. My husband said, "What are you crying about?" I tell ya, it got me right in the heart--very emotional.

  Totally agree. I thought it was very emotional. Lots of good subtext and
  sorry but don't think the graveyard and return with Cedric's body  could
  have been more emotional.
