wiffyboy:
That isn't exactly true. While it is true that Frank Bryce, Cedric
Diggory, and even the fox that Bellatrix killed just fell to the
ground after being hit by AK, and, aside from Dumbledore, these are
the only characters that we actually see get hit, you seem to be
forgeting the spider that Imposter Moody killed in Harry's first DADA
class with him.

The book said something along the line of "Ron falling out of his seat
as the spider skidded to a stop in front of him."

Now, this could just be a blunder on JKR's part, but fact that the
spider seemed to have shot off from the desk always struck me as odd.
And while both the spider and Dumbledore are certainly dead, why are
they the only ones (That we've seen) that were knocked back when the
curse struck them?
