   I felt the same way as you, Brooke. Even though a few tears escaped my eyes for Sirius, if Ron, Hermione, or Hagrid died I would have never picked up the fifth book again. I was quite terrified throughout the book while I was noticing the clues pointing towards Ron or the other Weasleys. However, you were right about one of them dying would cause more tears.
