Regarding the new poll:

> 
> Did 'Order of the Phoenix' make you 
> cry?  Vote for as many options that 
> apply. 
> 
>   o I'm not a crying sort of person 
>   o No, it wasn't that sad 
>   o I cried at the death 
>   o I cried at the last lines of Chapter 37 
>   o I didn't cry about the plot, but I did when I realised that 
I'd just finished a book I'd been waiting for for years 
> 


The existing categories don't cover my experience of the book, so 
I'd like to suggest an additional category:

"I didn't cry at the death or the end, but was moved to tears by 
things earlier in the book"

In my case, specifically, the following things did make me cry:

S
P
O
I
L
E
R

Molly's encounter with the boggart

The scene where Harry overhears Moody and the others talking about 
him when they're visiting Arthur in St. Mungo's (something about 
them all knowing that there's something odd about that Potter boy). 
That one REALLY got me - Harry'd already spent most of the book 
fighting feelings of alienation, and then to overhear them talking 
about him like that. Broke my heart.

Haven't cried about Sirius yet, though. Perhaps it just hasn't sunk 
in. I expect to miss him A LOT upon subsquent readings of the books.

Cheers!
