harry potter makes me laugh out loud a lot but the only time i ever cried was in the 5th book when they were at St. Mungos and they met up with Neville and his mom had gotten out of bed to give him a bubblegum wrapper and instead of throwing it away he put it in his pocket. but even then my eyes only started to water no actual tears came out. it ws just so sad. i could imagine him at home with a box that he hides under his bed, full of bubblegum wrappers that he takes out every night and sorts through. uncrinkling them, counting them, just holding them. poor neville. offtopic.gif i think st. mungos is up to no good and if neville's parents were put in a different less corrupt hospital then they could get better but thats a whole other story.

now i'm reading HBP again i read it so fast last time i didnt really give myself a chance to react to the end so maybe i'll cry this time around

then there's the movies. i get kinda of emotional during priori and his parents are there i can just see the look on Dan/harry's face and imagine how he must feel. seeing his parents and hearing their voices but then when cedric dies and amos diggory starts yelling and crying oh god the tears just start flowing. i think thats all. i'm sure sometimes i get emotional during the other movies but i know that none of them except GoF have ever brought me to tears

amortentia_lover
yes me too. i cried for both of them i think...*tear* .. i haven't re read the books recentyl so i don't no if i'll still cry or not. but i'm going to re read before DH comes out.
I reckon that'll have a lot of death in ( "2 die that i didn't intend to...") so i'll probably be weeping all night long!

The books all together have been an emotional journey and experience for us all, I think. I haven't cried just yet, but I came close at the end of Half Blood Prince, when Dumbledore died. Other than that the books seem humorous and quite adventurous making me happy! biggrin.gif
blakvint8geslk
yes it has. i cryed when sirius dies, and all of the emotions harry felt after that. and then when (SPOILER!) dumbledore's funeral happened i cryed. i didn't really cry when dumbledore died because i didn't believe it actually happened, but at the funeral, when i knew it was really, i cryed.

Harry Potter always beleive me, always makes me cry. When even the smallest of things happens!! I guess I am just very sensetive to that kind of thing... blink.gif
The Magical Muggle
I never balled my eyes out over the books, but when during Dumbledore's funeral and when Sirius died I did cry, which is unusual for me cause I tend to hide my emotions...

I never cry while reading a book but at Sirius's death I was very close

I have found some of the Harry Potter novels depressing but I have never actually cried while reading them. I don't think that I will cry while reading HPDH either.
McGonagall Luvs Dumbledore
I've found several moments in the book very depressing, but for some reason, I think that I usually only cry when I watch the movies (even though I like the books much better!)

When I watch the movies, ALWAYS cry at the Erised scene in PS and the scene in POA when Harry and Sirius separate.

In the books, the closest I've come to crying was when Mrs. Weasly hugs Harry after Cedric dies and when Dumbledore dies. I think the only reason I didn't cry at Dumbledore's death was because I was in too much shock!

Me too! But then i closed the book because we had to eat dinner and then, right while we were eating a began to cry. I think it was because it hit me there the he was like... dead. When Sirius died I cried very very very much. And I actually red the part three times before I believed it wasnt me who was reading it wrong. Miss them both so much sad.gif

I've never cried while reading the books, though I'm sure the rest of my family did. I don't know why, but I guess I don't get too emotional when I'm reading. However, I almost cried when Sirius and Dumbledore died.

When I watched the movies, I still didn't cry at some of the sad parts. One scene I found truly touching was when Harry brought Cedric's body back in Goblet of Fire. Mr. Diggory crying over Cedric's body was really an emotional scene.

I cried when Sirius died... and Dumbledore... but it took me a while to believe he was dead and start crying... I cried during the funeral... I felt like I was there... and I cried when Dumbledore said "I'm not worried Harry, I'm with you." sad.gif

And I can guarentee that I am going to cry in DH... Its the last book... Its over and I am going to cry just thinking about it... eeek.gif
Hermy One
YES!

I didnt cry the first time I read the 5th book when Sirius died because i was just like nah, the main characters cant die, what kind of author would kill main characters(no offence but you know, usually the mains NEVER die)...he will be back in a few chapters...BUT the secound time I read it and I knew it was for real, I did cry..I am normally not too emotional like that, my mom was like what are you crying about?! I was like na-nothing..he just di-died!!!! It was kinda funny in a twisted way....

Also, i really cried when DD died... Especially during the Lament and the White Tomb. I had to stop reading because i couldnt see anymore, If I open my book right now the pages are slightly smudged(which really annoys me) I was in the middle of class too and everyone was like what are you crying about?!? I couldnt even anser and when I told my friends later..they laughed biggrin.gif ^^ , said I was WAY too obsessed (I probobly am)

ANYWAY, I do cry in the books its soo sad....
Ginny_Hermione
Oh yeah! I love any book or fanfiction for that matter, that can make me laugh out loud, jump for joy, and just cry. So I have my 4th 5th and 6th Harry Potter books (typically) And I'm gonna quote from them some of the times I've cried.

QUOTE
GoF
"Remember Cedric. Remember if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, becasue he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."
-Dumbledore p. 724 American Hardcover

When doesn't that make me cry. I didn't cry when he died, but when Dumbledore said this. I was riding the bus reading this part, and the boy I was sitting with was like 'Why are you crying?' And I was like 'Cedric Died!' He gave me a very weird look.

QUOTE
OotP
But some part of him realized, even as he fought to break free from Lupin, that Sirius had never kept him waiting before....Sirius had risked everything, always to see Harry, to help him....If Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him, as if his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back.... That he really was....
-Page 808 American Hardcover

Aside from that, when Harry was yelling and yelling for Sirius. And when Lupin was trying to tell Harry... All I could think was, poor Lupin! He just lost his best friend, after loosing James, and having Peter turn evil. I was crying hard, at this point.

QUOTE
HBP
And he knew, without knowing how he knew it, that the phoenix had gone, left Hogwarts for good, just as Dumbledore had left the school, left the world....Had left Harry.
-P. 632 American Hardcover

And then without warning, it swept over him, the dreadful truth, more completely and undeniably than it had until now. Dumbledore was dead, gone....
-P. 644 American Hardcover

Then he gazed down at the wise old face and tried to absorb the incomprehensible truth: that never again would Dumbledore speak to him, never again could he help....
-P. 609 Amrican Hardcover

Okay, the last one, I just put was when I started crying. The tears eventually reduced, and I was just reading with my eyes wet. But when i got two the other two quotes, is when I started crying again. Especially during the Funeral. I also get upset with Harry's talk with Scrimageor. How Harry says he'll always be Dumbledore's man... So sad...

Ok, so there's where I mostly cried. I do think I'll be shedding many more tears in DH though... I mainly cry sometime after the death of soemone occured. It takes a while, like Harry, for the truth that they died, to sink in...

Pottie Peace,

I have felt my eyes brimming my with tears a fair few times. I can already feel salty water just thinking about book seven, paging that last final page ohmy.gif sad.gif sad.gif
malfoy's_little_weyotch
As a matter of fact...it has made me cry a few times....The last time i cried was when Harry nearly killed Malfoy....It was so sad.....I didnt like the part where Sirius died either.....the dumbledore one didnt effect me as much though.
MyRtLe66
I cried when Sirius died. We were on vacation and I was sitting in the back of the car balling. I didn't cry when Dumbledore died but I did when I got to his funeral and I knew he was gone. sad.gif
canoncansodoff
I can say Harry Potter made me cry because after i read some well written fan fictions i cried why i read canon the closest was when dumbledore died but then too not much because he wasted 6 years to train harry by giving him a childhood which he stole by placing him at dursleys hope HP 7 does better

killing srius was down right cruel

potter239
yes in every book at least two times in the one book
because jk write so good you feel as if you are the charter so if feel as if harrys pain is mine and his grief is mine eg siris and dumbledor

answer this has anone read eragon and eldst? ive cried at them too but harry potter ive cried for the most have you cried at them if youve read them? plz answer
FawkesWings
I have never actually cried in a book really, but I get so into it and it feels like it's really happening to me, and I feel their pain almost... it's sad, but I guess it weighs out with all the victories, and happiness too...
snapeslittlewitchie

Sadly, Harry Potter never made me cry. I don't know why. I love the book, i adore it but I didn't know why I wasn't that deeply into it during moments that I'm supposed to cry. I want to feel what the characters feel, but something keeps me from doing that. Maybe I just couldn't relate... Sigh... sad.gif

I hope I really feel it more, ya know? Sigh...
gryffindorgirlie
I have never felt the tears running down my face but have felt my eyes brim.

I think it's the real life issues put into emotional situation. I think it reflects what is going on in the world and real life emotions. Plus we get so close to the characters that when a big thing happens to them (if your a nerd like me)!

Anyway, me thinks i might actually shed a tear on the last page. Of the last book. Of the most bestset books ever written! sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif
crazy4u
Yes.The first thing that comes to my mind is Cedric's death on GoF.Not the moment he died but later when Dumbledore was talking about him to the students in the Great Hall.Oh,and in the movie I believe it's really moving when his father sees his body.In the 5th book when Sirius died and Harry was screaming his name and Lupin was trying to hold him back.In the 6th book I think I cried at Dumbledore's funeral.
IamNotaDeathEater
Before I tell you I want everyone to know that I get a bit emotional because I get so into the books. Hehe!

I didn't actually cry when Sirius died, but I did when he was sitting alone by the lake thinking about what he has to do and how he feels like he'll have to do it on his own. But I don't think anything effected me as much as Dumbledore's funeral. I think I pretty much balled through the whole last chapter of HBP! Oops, so embarrassing! I think I also cryed when Dumbledore was talking about Cedric in the Great Hall. Ok, now that I've finished embarrassing myself, I'm gonna go now! Haha!
twiggysun
There are a lot of things in the HP series that made me cry... the deaths of certain people especially!!
The last book made me cry quite a lot, but so have the previous ones... but I can't really remember any of the moments right now. The death of Dumbledore and Sirius of course.. but I can't imagine there weren't any other moments.

silay06
yeah...i cried a lot on book 7...chapter 33-36 of book 7 made me cry a lot...the moment when he knew that he had to die, when he bravely faced Lord Voldemort for his death, when Sirius, James, Lupin and Lily appeared to accompany him on his death, when he asked how does it feel to die, of it's painful or not...gosh!!!i cant help myself, swear!...and until now, though we all loved the ending, it still will make us cry, especially me, because it felt like losing a friend, a friend that will never return...
The Half-Blood Princess
Of course Harry Potter has made me cry!
several times in book seven! It was so sad when Lupin and Tonks were killed, and when Voldemort hit Harry with Avada Kedavra! sad.gif
But where I usually cry most, is in OotP, after Sirius' death, when Harry is in Dumbledores office... sad.gif
Ifeel so sorry about him, screaming and throwing things!
And Sirius has always been one of my favourite characters... dry.gif
Tempus
I've only ever once cried at Harry Potter - or for that matter, any other fictional story since I was about 5 - and that was at the point where Harry is going into the forest in DH. When he was with those people it was seriously depressing.
lunalunatic
Harry Potter has made me cry a little bit but never untill the DH, alot of stuff was so sadd, espesically the deaths that happen in the book , I also got really sad when I finished the book because I knew it was over, I spent the whole next day just sitting around and being sad lol. ,, the day after that I read the book again biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
xForeverxLoyalxToxDumbledorex
yes especially the last few because of the deaths that happen iw as gutted when they happened.
i also cried when each couples got together that SHOULD be together because i was o happy and thinking about time!
weasleyfan94
I didn't cry at all the first time I read the books, probably because I was younger. After the seventh book came out I reread them all in order and I cried a lot. Many times for unknown reasons. In the fourth one I cried when Amos Diggory sees Cedric. I cried during Cedric's funeral. In the fifth, I cried when Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Ginny said they were going to the DOM with them. Also, when Sirius died. In the sixth one I cried when Dumbledore died of course, when Harry and Ginny kissed (because it was beautifully written, not because I am in love with Dan). In the Seventh one I cried about half the time. In the movies I cried a lot in the fifth one, practically everytime Sirius and Harry were together. I cried when Voldemort was possessing Harry.
lissakitty
I cried when Sirius died, and when Dumbledore died, and then when Tonks, Lupin, died and all that other stuff that happened in the 7th book.
j.s.
I've cried quite a few times. Dumbledore's death, Sirius's death, everyone in DH's death, and probably more! But they were worth it.
Ginny.Weasley
Has Harry Potter ever made me cry? Of course! I cried when Sirius and Dumbledore died because Harry's emotions and the description were very overwhelming. I cried for most of Deathly Hallows, notable occasions being when Mad-Eye and Dobby died, when Fred died, when we found out about Remus and Tonks dying, when Harry met his parents in the forrest, when he came back to life but everyone thought he was dead. shocking.gif I cry when I ead a lot of books, worse than when I'm watching movies. shy.gif It's a sad thing, it really is. But everyting turns out right in the end. wub.gif

Potions Mistress
It’s incredibly reassuring to see that by far I’m not the only one who’s gone teary-eyed while in the company of Harry Potter.

Although I’m a highly sensitive person (read: has tears in her eyes often) and I cry practically at any movie and recently even while reading newspapers, somehow I do not cry while reading books. I’m an avid reader and there’ve been only two books in my whole reader’s life that have made me cry – twelve years ago it was All Quiet at Western Front (by Erich Maria Remarque), this summer it was Deathly Hallows.

The reason with the first book was that while reading it, I’d already known that the main hero was going to die whereas he didn’t know it. Every time he said he liked life I burst out crying. It’s the same with Harry and Sirius when we re-read the books now. Both of the characters want to be together, are looking forward to it so much (both in PoA and OotP), but we as readers already know that this is never going to happen, which makes us so sad.

I had never cried reading the books one to six for the first time. The reason is that I didn’t believe in any single death. I always thought that the dead characters (Cedric, Sirius or Dumbledore) would miraculously spring back to life (after all, Harry Potter used to be children's books, right?). It took me six books to learn that Ms. Rowling never brings the dead ones back. That’s the reason why I cried with Deathly Hallows. And also why I get tears in my eyes when I re-read some of the passages from the previous books now - knowing that this or that character is going to die.

In Deathly Hallows, I wasn’t affected by Hedwig or Mad-Eye. Their deaths were just too quick. My eyes were a bit misty with Dobby and Fred. I shed one or two tears when learning about Remus and Tonks. Ms. Rowling merely enumerates the dead ones and just, as if by the way, mentions the two lying on the ground. I had to re-read this particular passage in order to see that I wasn’t mistaken, and when it finally sank in, my eyes started to burn. I had to put the book down and just go out, to breath this out.

But when “The Forest Again” came, there weren’t enough tissues around for me. I waited to read the final passages of the book only after my parents had gone to bed, as they would be worrying what the matter with me was, being all teary. While following Harry to the Forest and reading his ideas, feelings and the conversation with his parents and Sirius, I cried so hard that I couldn’t see through the tears. I was closing and opening the book but nothing helped. I couldn’t stop crying, but also wanted to continue reading. It was a maddening vicious circle.

Yes, and then in the morning I realized what Severus actually meant when he said “Look … at … me,” and there I went re-reading the passage, crying again.

And, I would have totally forgotten. Once, I got misty eyes while reading an excellent Hr/SS fanfiction here at VTM.

Like I’ve said, stupid sensitive me. eeek.gif

Lauren0891

Nope, it's never made me cry. That makes me sound cold and heartless haha! tongue.gif I've gotten a bit teary eyed over certain parts, for example when Sirius died, and when Hedwig died but I've never actually cried. To be honest though, there are few books that have actually made me cry.



HermioneClone
Yes, I've cried many times in the books, including the deaths of Sirius and Dumbledore (and at Dumbledore's funeral), and the conversation between Harry and Dumbledore at the end of OotP.

Deathly Hallows had me in constant tears. It started when Hedwig died, and I cried like a baby when Dobby died. I also cried with the deaths of Lupin, Tonks, and Fred. I cried a lot after finding out about Snape and rereading his death and his last words. Moody's death shook me, I didn't cry, though.

I was in an insane bawling state when we all thought Harry was going to die. His thoughts, his actions, the whole situation was too much and my face was streaming with tears.

I cried at the end and when Harry is talking to his son in the Epilogue and saying Snape was the bravest man he ever knew.

What an emotional roller coaster DH was for me!
Mundu
I've never cried as far as I can remember. I almost cried when Dumbledore died - I got the whole lump at the back of my throat thing, blinked back quite a few tears and spent the rest of the day in a filthy mood - but that is as close as it got. I didn't cry at all during DH because I was forever trying to see what happened next: it took me a little while to twig that Hedwig had died because it was all caught up in the description, which was the same with Fred actually. I think with most of the deaths I was like: "Oh, good god, Dobby's dead! Is Hermione okay?? Oh phew! Hmmmm, this next bit is quite interesting..." so I never really dwelled on any of the deaths. How horrible is that? biggrin.gif I did find the Godrics Hollow scene at the graveyard quite emotional though.
FawkesWings
I can honestly say that I have never cried while watching or reading Harry Potter. That's just my personality though, I'm not much of a crier. Although some parts make me sad I just end up saying to myself "psht. that's messed up, that just makes me sad..." and then I'll just be in a bad mood from there.. then I catch myself dwelling on it all day and making up other scenarios in my head as well hehe.

MoonLight
I almost had to cry when Dumbledore died. He's too good to die..
Jenzy Black
Obviously. I went a bit into shock when Sirius died, felt cold and all but later when I read the conversations between Harry and Dumbledore, there was a flood. heheh. Dumbledore's funeral made me cry too, and so did the Prince's Tale when I finally understood how much we misjudge people that roam before our eyes. The last battle was saddening too, when Harry went to meet Voldemort, but I didnt cry then. It was only when Dumbledore began to talk, in the King Cross Station about not pityin dead, and there were worse things than dead and how much he wanted to reach to his family, I felt the lump in my throat and the tears come.
You know, I hardly cry, even in real life situations but I dont know what happened there. wub.gif It was all too sentimental there I guess. hehe.
Amy--
I cried when Sirius died, cos he used to be one of my favourites! But when Dumbledore died ... I dunno ... I just kind of said, 'oh well' cos I'd never really classed DD as one of my favourites.

I cried when Dobby, Tonks, Lupin, Fred and even Colin died - what made me cry the most though was when Hrry saw the images of his parents, Sirius and Remus in the chapter the Forest Again - Remus was talking about how sorry he was that he wouldn't see Teddy grow up, but he was making the world a better place - I cried so much at that part! I think it was just a really touching line!

I also cried at the Prince's Tale a bit - that was really emotional with all the truths finally coming out. I didn't cry at Hermione being tortured, but I nearly did because of Ron's reaction - I felt so sorry for him!!

Eesh, I hope JKR knows what she's put us all through!

~Amy <3
Siriusly In Love
COS: I cried when Hermione was Petrified and when Hagrid was taken to Azkaban. With Hermione, I cried because I just felt close to her back in those days. Hagrid...I cried because I didn't want him to leave Harry. I thought Harry would be unprotected for some reason if Hagrid left.

POA: I cried when Sirius left on Buckbeak because I didn't want him to go. I was just starting to fall in love with Sirius in those days, and my attachment to him was already pretty strong.

OOTP: When Sirius died. I was heartbroken when that happened and I just became a blubbering mess.

mother
i cried when sirius died! i also cried for Dumbledore. But di cried the most when Fred died!

Mod Edit: Please remember that short posts like this is against the rules. You have been around long enough to know the rules.
ronluver7
The Harry Potter books have made me cry so many times, I mean how can you not with all the deaths. I cried when Fred died, I cried when Sirius died, I cried when Dobby died, and I cried when Dumbldore died. Funnily enough, I also cried whe Ron and Hermione kissed in Deathly Hallows. I just found that scene extremly touching.

Exactly. How can you not cry! I've cried so many times. With all the deaths, I cried. I had to stop a few times because I didn't want to miss anything because of blurryness due to tears. Ha. And I remember in 3rd grade, the first time I read the third book, I cried so much when Sirius told Harry he could live with him if Harry wanted, unless he wanted to stay at his uncle's, and he was being serious!

At the end of deathly hallows, I think I cried so much, just because it was over. Oh, and the whole chapter in DH with Snape and Lily, I was pretty much just letting tears fall and fall and fall. And when I first read "Albus Severus" I cried, it's such a ridiculous name, but I loved it.

So basically, I think almost everyone has cried with Harry Potter.
Bill Weezly
first of all, i am a guy, and i do not vent my feelings much. However, these books had me with a box of tissues.
GOF: when Cedric died. It was all so shocking and brutal, especially when everyone at the school sees, and his parents were so good about it afterwards. I cried my eyes out.
OOP: I didn't cry when Sirius died. I thought he was sort of an idiot in that book. He was so mean to Snape.
HBP: I didn't cry when Dumbledore died. I sort of saw it coming.
DH: Wow, I practically had to keep a tissue box next to me. First of all, Hedwig. That was so swift and brutal. Second of all, the scene in Godric's Hollow, with all the support grafffiti for Harry. That was beautiful. Third, Ron returning and dispatching the Horcrux. huge amount of character development there. Fourth, Dobby's death. That was morbid and made me put down the book for a while. Fifth, Neville being a hero and his grandmother being proud of him. Sixth, Percy coming back. That was cool. Seventh and last, Fred's death. I do not know anyone who didn't cry at that point.

that is all...
