Ok - this is going to sound really sad and childish, but the only time ive become "teary eyed" as it seems to be put, was Rons comment of

"can i see uranus to?"

as childish as it may be, i laughed so hard i actually had a tear roll down my face!

Yep I definitely agree with you on that one Tom Riddle, that line made me teary eyed as well for a completely different reason.

I also thought this line from Hermione in the Philosopher’s stone is 'tear eyeingly funny:

'I hope your pleased with your self - or worse expelled. Now if you don't mind. I'm going to bed.'

also I thought the whole chapter dealing with Dumbledore’s escape from Umbridge, Fudge and the Aurors was ‘tear eyingly’ Hilarious. Especially the last line delivered by Phineas Nigellus.
‘You Know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts ... but you cannot deny he's got style...'

So true, so true

but

Harry: I've got two Neptunes, here that can't be right can it?

"Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born,"

Does it for me everytime

I love that one too! I think Ron really does come out with the best tear jerkingly funny quips!

JK really does manage to obtain tears from both end of the spectrum of Happiness in so many ways

She really is a true genius!

I have only crieed once. That was when Cedric Diggory died.

I didn't cry but I am still a little shoked by the death of Sirius.
I really want to know how Harry will handle his pain.
I do feel sorry for Harry.

probly the time i almost did was when Sirius died.

I have never cried when reading a Harry Potter book. Yes I was sad when Sirius and Cedric died, but reading doesn't usually make me cry.

i cried SO hard when sirius died!

but i like always cry from laughing at like everything fred, george, and ron say

Yes, when someone ruined one of my book. The good thing: it was replaced with a brand new one.

Yes when Sirius died I got so worked up I got ill and nearly had a fit! (Yeah I'm weird)

I did! A lot! I cant believe Snape's horrible!! I hate him!

I didnt cry....omg...dat was cuz my frends ruined it for me!

dat really sucked...i was upset when sirius died...but it took me much longer 2 accept da fact dat dd actually dide..!!!!

Nah.

I was definitely sorry to see both of them go. However, to this day, no event in any book, movie, song, or any of the ilk has ever made me cry. Also, both deaths were a necessary evil. I am a firm believer that the final fight will be between Harry and the Dark Lord, and no one else. Maybe the rest of the trio will be there. Maybe someone even will show up at the battle to sacrifice themselves, and give Harry an extra sugary coating of love to use against the Dark Lord. (I like that!)

My point is, I don't think anyone will go to the battle just to hiss directions in Harry's ear, and Sirius and DD are the two most likely people who come to mind that would have done that. So they left us. In any case, the Kleenex company is making good money off of the crying masses, but I am not a part of them.

I remember that there's another topic discussing this, however, I can't find it right now.
I cried when Sirius and DD died, but in the first case, it was because I was really shocked, I wasn't expecting Sirius to die this way and so fast. In a word, I wasn't expecting someone to die. But for DD it was different, I knew that someone was going to die, even if I never thought that it could be DD. I cried more for Snape, for whom did that than what he did. I was shocked too, because I really love Snape. Days after, the idea that Snape could still be "good" occurred me (even if I don't really believe it), but I can say that I'm ok now.

EDIT: lol it was under my nose : here or here It's quite the same subject.

It took me a long time to accept Sirius was dead. I nearly cried in Dumbledore's death!

I cried at both deaths!!!

I cried more at Dumbledore's death though, because I guess, after Sirius died (which was enough of a shock), Dumbledore seemed to me all Harry had left, so it was doubly sad that it happened so soon after Sirius.

However...off topic a little...with GOF...
Who cried when Cedric died?

Gotta say, I cried more at the movies than in the book on that one

Just curious what some of you felt?

I cried after Sirius' death, because it was so brave and noble and just exactly what a Godfather would be expected to do. He jumps in at the last minute to save his only 'son' in ways undescribable. That really moved me, and in HBP when Harry was talking about Sirius with DD, I got a little teary-eyed there too.

I don't know, I was more hurt than with Sirius at DD's death. I think I knew throughout the book that he was going to go, but I didn't cry when he did. While he was talking to Draco I was sort the verge of tears, because I just knew that Draco was probably the last person he would talk to in detail, and I didn't like that much. I wanted him to talk with Harry first, before getting himself 'killed'. If he did die anyway, but that's off topic.

It was moving, but I couldn't cry because I had expected it all along. It was more relief I think, that at least it wasn't a pathetically boring ending to him. At least he went in style. I mean, an AK from one of his most trusted companions straight off the Astronomy Tower was a shock to me. I would never have guessed that!

I took Dumbledore's death just fine I think. Not one tear shed. There was just something missing to Dumbledore with me. I never really got attached to him at all.

Sirius on the other hand.... I may have a shed a tear or two when I read that part in OotP He was much more of a part of me than Dumbledore was. I guess it was just because we(I) knew so much more about him than Dumbledore. I mean, we saw him escape Azkaban, and prove his innocence to the people that mattered to him! And we saw how he was like growing up at school in the pensive. Thats alot more than we ever knew about Dumbledore, his past, and the hardships he endured.

I just thought it was completly tragic that Sirius lost his life only two years after being free... I really really really hope that we will find out more about Sirius in book 7.... Or at least have his name mentioned MORE THAN ONCE! (*cough*half blood prince *cough*)

Oh well, he will be sorely missed!

cheese puff?

I didn't cry at Sirius's death, though I had a tear in my eye...

I absolutely lost it at Dumbledore's death. He was always my favourite character, from book one, and (I know this sounds stupid), sort of a mentor for me- His strength let me live through a few dark years in my life. I just told myself .....be like DD, do what he would do- and I did. After being with him for 7 years, and have him just taken in such an undignified way......I was ready to absolutely smash JKR, at times I still am now, because, for some reason (I dont know why), I took it as sort of an insult ot me, like I was stupid to follow a man whose fate was to die unarmed, weak, and at the hands of a friend he trusted and believed in (even if it was planned or not)....though I have accepted it, but I for cried many nights later......

When Cedric died in the book, I didn't cry, however Dan portrayed that scene well, and I cried in the movie- it was so emotional....*cries* Go Dan!

I didn't cry for either but i was really sad. I was in the hall one day at school and these two girls were talking about OotP and i hadn't read it yet at the time and they said that Sirius died. And that made me so mad! why couldnn't they say that when i wasn't there?! Anyways, so i knew that was coming and DD's death kind of surprised me. I didn't think she would kill him off. But yeah, i was really heartbroken.

I didn`t cry when sirius died, but I cry a lot when DD died.

Duno, but in book5 about Sirius death was not much information like that was in book6 about DD death. Dumbledore was my one of the favoutite , for that, his death shocked my alot. And the last chapter was so sad that I cry and cry and cry whwen I read that. I know that this soun stubit, but I realy liked DD, he was so good and his herat was of gold. Why he have to die???

i voted for no because i didnt cry in sirius and dumbledores death, i just cried in dumbledores so i voted no.

I didn't cry when sirius and dumbledore died, but i did cry at dumbledores funeral

it was sooo sad!

Of course I cry. . .because I cry at anything and everything! It's pathetic. I think Sirius' death struck more of a chord for me because it was so expertly juxtaposed with the laughter of the previous page's "accio brain" scene.

Dumbledore I shed a tear for because it was just sad. . .and I had to reread it because my favorite character is Snape and I wanted to be sure it was actually him. Sigh.

Oh, yeah... I cried rivers. NOt so much when Sirius died. I mean, it was sad and all that, but when DD died it was a bit more shocking, so I really did cry rivers the first time I read it, and the second, and the third... and so on.

yeah i was exactly like you Hallia, i cried buckets and buckets and buckets when dumbledore died. it had more of an impact than sirius. i was very upset when sirius died but no i didnt cry.

No, I didn't cry, nor did I stifle a sniffle, when Sirius and Dumbledore died in the books. Not that I don't like these characters. I do, very much. I wasn't that emotional over Sirius' untimely death because I didn't really see him die. He just fell behind the veil and we know that he is dead as a result. I also wasn't emotional over Dumbledore because I personally don't think that he is dead. But, this is another thread, so I won't go into it here. I have to admit something here though, I did get a bit choked up after watching Cedric's father crying over his dead son's body in the GoF movie. But, I suppose this is another thread too!

Yes. Of course I did!! Especially Sirius's. Dumbledores death was really sad and all, but... Sirius Black was my favorite character, and I was quite upset when he died. I believe killing Dumbledore was a mistake.

I cried like a big baby when Sirus was killed. I love all the actors/characters in the books and movies, but Sirus really stuck with me more for some reason. A good friend of mind told me that I might not want to finish reading book 5 and I knew than something was going to happen to Sirus. I cried while trying to read the last three chapters of that book. I still have a hard time while listening to the book on cd, but I dont' cry anymore. I want to see the movie real bad when it comes out, but I just don't know if I would be able to sit there when Sirus gets killed in front of all those people.

When DD died it was sad but I only shed a couple of tears because I knew in my heart he was very ill because his hand/arm was never getting any better. I think that when he got the ring and distoried it that was the end of DD. So when Snaped killed DD I really want to believe that it was all planned out because DD knew he was dead and he needed to save Drako and Snape so he "made" Snape do what he did. Plus, there were so many open eyed clues on DD death that I was more prepared than when Sirus died. That one was a shock and didn't see it coming.

For sisius I only shed a couple of tears as he was one of my favourite characters. Dumbledores death hit me like a bomb, I can't read the last few chapers of HBP now as they really upset me. I still can't believe Snape could do that. I now hate Snape even more.

I didnt cry for either of them. Of course when Sirius died I was on a plane and if I had started crying people would have thought I was crazy... well they already do but thats not the point. Anyways I already expected Dumbledore to die and thought it was about time. So Sirius's death upset me more I guess.

You guys want to know if I cried?I'll tell you,I howled!My mom had to ask me why I was crying.I was litrally sobbing,I was in a total state of shock!I was especially sad whan sirius died cos that was someone whom harry actually got to know and love like a parent...
*trickle of tear running down face...sniff* I'm OKAY!

I cried a lot when I read about both deaths...I really hoped until the end that dd wasn't really died...for sirius it wasn't different...Sirius death happened so suddenly..I didn't expect it...i cried so much...

No I didn't cry, although I was still very sad and depressed when I read those two parts. I was especially upset when DD died just because of how everybody reacted to it in the book. But I didn't cry, I don't think I've cried in a few years. I don't know why but I just can't cry, even when I try to, I can't . Maybe the whole "guys don't cry" thing has got to me.

I cried at Sirius's death not Dumbledore's (because before I got to read the book everyone had told me he was dead! ) Sirius was one of my fave characters in the book, I can't believe he's dead.

Yeah, I cried quite a lot. Was really sad, couldn't get over it. Still can't (*sob*). I know a lot of people are still upset over it.

Yes i cried..at dumbledore's death. I read HBP 4 times..and each time i cryed. I just..tooo...sad. On Sirius death i didn't cried. I was sad...really sad..because Harry lost the only relative that he had....but i didn't cryed. I loved sirius..it was one of my favourite characters. But i knew he would die in one of the books.. and.. his death didn't have such an impact on me as dumbledore's.

Omg when Serius, dumbledore, & cedric died I burst out into tears. Just this week i was rereading Harry Potter GOF in lunch, & I burst out into tears. Mi friend Brian was like so surprised & he was asking me if i felt alright. I didnt realize i was crying until he asked me and then i felt tears running down mi face. But, you should of seen me When Dubledore & Serius died, I was brawling so much! I dont understand how I can cry so much in Harry Potter and not one tear in Romeo & Juliet. Its really sorta strange!

The magic world is getting too chaotic to the eyes of a sixteen-year-old boy. It's a great shock too see Dumbledore dead, killed by no one but the pernicious Snape! At that point, I just murmured in my head, “Dumbledore is that weak? Killed by someone far less powerful than he is?” Well, I think the author sets his death on purpose to let Harry struggle by himself thereafter. But still, it’s a great loss, both to Harry and the whole wizard world! Dumbledore is the wisest character in the story who always thinks and acts cleverly (yet perhaps he doesn't have as much courage as Harry does? In volume 3, he dares not stand up to a powerful group -- Ministry of Magic -- to clear Sirius Black's false charge, but asks Harry to solve it instead). It's he who protected Harry from the beginning and told him right from wrong. Harry somehow loses guidance and protection upon Dumbledore's death.

i think that all of us had been touch by the death of this two characters.i had to admit that i have cryed a little and i dont think how the next book will be without Dumbledore.
Let's us hope that J.K Rowling wan't let us down.

I'll admit. I cried buckets when Dubmledore died. I was really upset when Sirius died but this weird boy in my class blabed it out before i got a chance to read it and he mad sure EVERYONE heard! No , but I just couldn't believe that Dumbledore would die. I was upset the whole night!!

At first I was like: he isn't dead. But then I remembered that JK said someone important was going to die, seeing that the book was already ending I came to the conclusion that he had to be dead. That was the moment the first tears fell down my cheek.
When sirius died I was awestruck, and cried my way through the rest of the book.

I had to vote no because I didn't cry during both. It took me a while to except Sirius's death but I didn't cry. I was so shocked by Dumbledore's death that I cried. My intial reaction was "Not Dumbledore!" (Hence my name.)

did i cry???!!!!!!!!!! of course i cried. who ever didnt cry [EDITED]

MOD EDIT- Your post has been edited, as I do not think it appropriate to be suggesting that only people who are- or don't cry are specific traits. As well as that, you SHOULD have read the rules by now, and therefore you SHOULD know that name calling isn't permitted here.

Yes! I cried in both Dumbledore's and Sirius' deaths, but when I really started crying buckets was in the aftermath, like when Harry had his reaction yelling to Bellatrix and when he was yelling in Dumbledore's office, after Sirius died, and also a lot when Harry was near Dumbledore's body and his funeral. It was just when the harsh reality hit! I have read each book several times and never has my getting upset again wavered.

No...not really. I admit, I was a little confused about Sirius' death. What was that veil thing all about?? but it was a great loss.

For Dumbledore's death..not really. I mean, I ALMOST cried, but I did not really feel the shock. Actually, that was my brother's fault because he told me (which made me want to throw something at him=)). But really, was Snape really merciless??

Yes i cryed throughout the last three chapters.
It was just soooooooooooo sad.
And i agree that i never cried so much when sirius died.
I never hated Snape this much in my entire life.

I almost cry when Dumbledore die. the most saddest I was for Harry.
he was so sad and it makes me sad

Oh my goodness, I was extremely sad when Dumbledore died. I can't say I didn't cry.

Sirius' death, not so much, but I still felt sad.

Get the kleenex boxes ready, because I'm sure the last book will be a major tearjerker!
