But that is why I like the books so much. In the real world, in a conflict situation, people get killed or hurt not because they are combatants but because they are in the way of get caught in the crossfire. Look at the news across the world today and I'm sure you will find examples. I must admit that in DH, I felt more sadness about Hedwig than many of the other characters - possibly because she was the first of the line of fatalities and it was so abrupt, so unexpected, so final. LIke a terrorist attack.

OMG I so cried when Hedwig died. I loved that owl and even in the theater when I knew what was going to happen, I gasped when she died. Dobby was another one that was really hard for me. I loved those two characters. I used to tell everyone that Hedwig was my favorite character.
