>>> Personally, I think the death of Hagrid instead of Sirius would have
made OotP a whole lot better. I don't miss Sirius and I didn't gasp
with anguish when he died.

Hagrid's death would mean so much more to everyone, I think people
would've reacted a lot more to it.<<<

Lady Macbeth:
This is why I disagree that a death should be for "emotional pause" reasons.
I cried about Sirius dying, but I doubt very much that I would cry or even
be as upset if Hagrid died.  He gets himself into situations all the time.
He could have been killed trying to tame Gwap, let alone fighting Death
Eaters or doing work for the Order.  He's a friend, but not an
almost-relative to Harry, certainly not an almost-relative who at one time
was his happiest thought when he thought he could live with him.
