Personally, I cried when I saw the movie, especially at the part when Amos Diggory is crying,"MY SON!!" It was also really sad at the beginning of the 3rd task when Amos hugged Cedric and gave him good luck, not knowing that he was gonna die. But I really did cry. It was the best movie by far and really intense.

I honestly don't see a great point to Rowling's continuous killing of characters. I understand that it makes the series more suspensful and all, but killing kids and headmasters all over the place seems to be getting too much. Cedric's death is sad, sure, but his role would've have changed the books much in the later novels, so that's not a big traumatic spin. But, Dumbledore? Although I realize he'll probably be one of the "Past Headmasters" in the paintings in his office and always be there to guide Harry, that's just a wee bit too much. unsure.gif

I cried! Especially when they were trying to pull Harry off of his body and when his dad was mourning for him. Tears were silentely streaming down my cheeks, but the girls that were behind me were being really loud throughout the entire movie anyway, and they were absolutely bawling. Bit annoying really. Sort of ruined the moment.

it was very sad when he died. when i read it in the book i was like "what the .." and shocked, but the acting from harry potter was incredible, harry crying over his body, the sentimental music, it was crazy, i did not cry per se, but tears did come to my eyes

that was quite sad YAY DANIEL PADCLIFFE CAN FINALLY ACT!!!

Dumbledore's Widow
My question is why did they have to cast such a good looking guy as Cedric? Having to watch him die means we won't be seeing him again! Unless in flash backs. It's enough to make one cry. Pass the Kleenex tissue please!

On a serious note, in the book, I thought that Voldemort's command to kill Cedric, was downright viscious! I can well imagine the last few seconds of Cedric's thoughts! He was no doubt dead before he even finished those thoughts!

Whan I read the book, I wasn't too emotionally involved in Cedric's role so I didn't shed a tear (I don't think, anyways). The movie, though, gives him a human form, and I got attached and kept muttering under my breath things like "don't put your name in, Cedric" and "Let the weeds take you!" and "Don't touch the cup" and "Listen to Harry and get back to the portkey!" But, alas, he didn't listen to me and I cried my eyes out when Voldemort was handling, er footling him and continued to do so until Dumbledore burst through the doors of Moody's office.

*Cedric*
I almost cry eh! Well.. maybe i did

i definitely agree with you mate! that part was really emotional! from that scene, i realized that what we were thinking through our imagination in the books are not that enough. coz' when i was reading that part in the book, it doesn't affect me that much. but when i see it in the film... it almost made me cry! sad.gif
Krieltje
The part where he was hit with the AK curse wasn't the saddest part, the saddest part was definitely when Amos was yelling "my son, that's my boy" argh, I really spilled a tear there, it was so sad sad.gif.

Well, when I was watching the movie in the cinema, I didn't want them to show the graveyard part. But, of course they showed it. When I saw Cedric hit the ground, I couldn't stop crying. I just couldn't believe it, how could he die? Tears kept coming out of my eyes. I cursed when Voldemort touched his Cedric's face with his foot. How dare he! He's already... gone... And when Harry was duelling with Voldemort, I kept telling myself, Harry kill him...kill Voldemort... I mean, seeing Harry duelling was also painful. And when Cedric asked Harry to bring back his body, I was like...no...don't die... When Harry got back with Cedric's body... and everyone was cheering...and they don't know what just happen... Mr. Diggory mourning... I couldn't help... It was so sad, so emotional, so empty... I almost want to burst out of the cinema and forget all about it. I cried till the end of the movie... my eyes were puffy... I was feeling so down. Cedric was one of my favourite characters and as Robert Pattinson playing him, so handsome... why do have have to kill him... It's ain't fair.

When I told my friends, they just teased me. They kept saying Cedric's name... or even saying that they're happy he died! I'm angry with them...They don't understand me at all... to me, Cedric gone like that is just like losing my family. It's sad. But...he's already gone. I don't care even if he was ONLY a character from a book.

personally i dont see the point in people crying in movies but its your life what ever floats your boat.

but what i cant get over is how fast they killed him off in the grave yard scene hes a main character and all that for this book and 30 seconds after they get there bang hes dead....

But Tara we all knew it was going to happen and in my opinion it had to be done were talking about good verses evil here not who can turn the twiggs into the nicest buch of flowers. You have to kill people to make the impact nowdays. Its the sicology of their deads that makes half the emosions the other half is the love and near death experiances. to get imotion from todays ordiances you need some strong stuff!! Say if the hadn't killed credic say they just tied him up would that have inspired harry to do half the things he did in the later books. No.

I've seen the movie twice already and I enjoyed it much. But too many parts were cut out and some things were done differently. In the book Cedrics death made me way more emotional then in the movie. In the movies I was just wen't like "ok" except when Harry and Cedric came out with the portkey back onto Hogwarst grounds everybody was thinking hard and they were sad, you could see their insides. Even Malfoy or somebody evil was looking sad.
Sofie
I didnt cry when he died...it happened so suddenly sad.gif

But after Harry brought his body back, and everybody was cheering i started crying. Then Fleur's scream amd Amos Diggory's shouting. It was so well done...i cried during the last 10 or so minutes sad.gif

This Is so true for me also.
Cedrics death was the saddest movie ending that i have seen in a long time. I cried for his dad as soon as he told cedric good luck. It was extremely emotional.

It is a real scientific mystery how can I keep crying every time I read these books. I mean, how many tears can we possibly produce in a lifetime?!!!Anyway. Cedric was one of the first victims of the 2d War. It was unfair and cruel. So young, so brave and talented... But, it was also unfair that Sirius died before he could enjoy his freedom without the Ministry's inestigation behind him, and of course it was unfair that the greatest wizard of all centuries died fron Snape! Not even Voldemort!His murderer was a filthy traitor...
But..[/QUOTE] Do not be sorry for those gone, cause it is those who are being left behind that you must pity. They suffer a fate worse then death.. (that cause to poor Harry who is continually loosing every person in his life that can support him and guide him!)
pigwidigon
I am going to make this a Poll Only because since there is already a topic open Here Where you can discuss Cedrics death in the movie and there really is no point of having two topics open on the same subject...if you wish to respond please use the above thread!
*Rachel*
I cried. I cried more in the book though. However, when I walked out of the theatre, I had that weird feeling that I could not move my face where the tears had dried. It only really hit when Mr. Diggory was screaming, "That's my boy. That's my son!" The music really hit me too. When he literally died in the graveyard, I was just in terror. I saw Wormtail holding the wrinkled raisin that Voldemort was and I was pretty freaked out. That could just be me though. Goodness that movie is good! unsure.gif

When I read the book, I thought, yeah Cedric died, doesn't matter that much to me. Poor Cho.
When I saw the movie my friend and I were balling our eyes out because of how sad it was. Everytime I've seen it since I have cried and just can't seem to get over it well! sad.gif
departed_soul
When I first read the book, it didn't really hit me, because the action in GoF was heating up and I wanted to keep reading. I did feel bad, but it didn't have much time to sink until I started OOTP right afterward.

In the movie, though, I almost cried. I think seeing Cedric's death on the big screen has a much more powerful effect than just reading about it, and when Mr. Diggory started crying, it made me feel even worse. Every time I see the movie now, I get close to tears. The depressing ending of the movie doesn't help either.
hermione_4ever
Well...when i read the book..i didn't do anything.. It was juts like any other death and i was to fascinated about the other subject to pay any attention to Cedric's death. But when i warched the movie, i stardet crying. Not because of cedric's death ecause i didn't like that guy so much but because of Harry. He looked so sad, and he seemed to care about him so much. I just couldn't stop my tears. unsure.gif
smee
I voted 'I have no idea...' because I read GoF so long ago it's a bit hazy. I'm pretty sure I cried a bit though, but not as much as in the film! That scene was just so intense; Harry was just absolutely distraught (really good acting from Dan); the music playing and everyone being so happy when they appeared and then everyone slowly realizing... I cried when I saw it again in the cinema and the other day when my GoF DVD came, so yeah, a lot of crying basically, but not because I felt strongly about Cedric if you know what I mean; I think I was crying for Harry.

i hate cedric

MOD EDIT: Please be careful one liners are not allowed on the forums please elaborate more in future posts..tell us why you dont like Cedric!
Kenny Crofton
i felt horrible only when i saw cedrics dad freaking out..but i hadnt read the 4th book yet so when he died i didnt expect it and it just became like a shock that someone was killed onscreen in a harry potter movie, i mean it may have only been a shock because i hadnt read the book yet..
karsh05
well, i didnt really know what to vote for, becuase my reaction was a little different. becuase i had read the book, the first time i went to see it, i started crying right before they went into the maze and cedric hugged his father. then i cried even harder when he actually died. then i calmed down a little while they were talking in the graveyard, but the tears began to fall again when cedric asked for harry to take his body back. but i was so sad it hurt when cedric's dad came running through screaming. i didnt know that was going to happen, and it was so sad, becuase i know what it is like to lose a loved one, but to lose your son, at such a young age, would be just horrible. so i cried and cried, tears fell like rain. and even now, when i watch it, i cant go without a single tear falling when amos shouts "that's my son!" sad.gif
Golden_Snitch
I never cried in a movie before, even as a small kid. And when Cedric was killed. At first i was just sad, but when harry brought his body back. Cedric's father came and started shouting "my boy, etc." Then i cried. My friends made fun of me, but i cried. unsure.gif
phoebe lovegood
like everyone else i cried coz cedric is such a gentleman and he doesn't deserve to die if it was krum i think it would have been easier for everyone...................
maulshree pathak
i went to see the movie with my family on my birthday. i saw that scene and saw cedric's face. the look of shock on his face. i cried like mad. actually most of the girls in the theatre were!!it was very sad. it was also pathetic to see cedric'face(or whatever it was) make it's final request. and see amos diggory cry
Tigers Eye
I cried and i cried and, guess what, i cried eeek.gif
Vindictive Dark
Are you talking about in the movie?

Seeing how I read the book, I knew it would happen. (So that's what I voted for on your poll.) Personally, I wasn't too upset either time. Cedric is nice, but not my kind of character, really. I think the movie portrays it more poignantly when he's dead though. mellow.gif

miridian
i think in the actual moment when cedric died i was too involved on the goings on to care i know sounds harsh eh? but no once it absorbed because of mr diggory's screaming i cried at his loss and cedrics loss it was sad
BiggestHPFanEver
I nearly cried even though I voted that I cried and I went home and casted Avada Kedavra on myself about 1000000 times.




Avada Kedavra
FilmGrath
I never cried!!! the only people I have cried for so far are Sirius and Dumbldore!!!!!!!!!! I cried...... wow.... but anyway, I wouldn't have cried in the movie cause I knew what was going to happen. I was more interested to see what my dad would say about all this. He's never thought Harry Potter was something to reckon with.. childish. but when he saw the forth film, I think he was really impressed with jkrowlings ideas. and the death.
dream_of_a_siren
I did cry during this. I mean, Wormtail's like "AVADA KEDAVRA!" and I shout out in an entire threater full of people "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then when Mr. Diggory starts crying and screaming over Cedric's body, that really did it, because I have no idea of how agonzing it would be to lose your kid. Like Theoden on the Two Towers said, "No parent should have to bury their child."
FilmGrath
I guess that was sort of tramatic when harry returned, and the cheering stopped... because everyone realized. The children had to be taking out, and everyone thinking Harry must have done it. Pretty terrible. And his dad... yeah. but I didn't cry. I just sat and was sad... wondering if my dad thought harry potter books were capable of this sort of darkness.
El Barto
When I went to see it the theatre, all I kept thinking is that I had to get out there because the A/C shut off so it was extremely hot in there (end of the summer in Arizona). I remember everyone in the theatre staring intently at the screen (which they were doing anyway laugh.gif ). When I showed it to my sister when it came out on DVD she had no idea who Cedric was because she came in at that part...
Padfoot08
I voted nothing-until Mr. Diggory started screaming. I cried. I didn't think that it was a big deal. Oh, Cedris died. Big deal. We really weren't introduced to him until the fourth book anyway, so it isn't like I formed some kind of grand image for him. Perhaps if JKR had introduced him more in the earlier books I would have felt worse.
Horavlo
I have no idea what I did the first time,but when Mr. Diggory started to scream I felt horrible and all the people in the cinema were quiet and somepeople (I think girls),were crying a lot because their cry sound in the room.
ILoveCedricAndHarry
i cried when he died...i cried for 3 hours..after i read it
accio_amanda
When I first read the book I cried, even though Cedric wasnt a major character. I had just hoped he would be because I was growing fond of him.

Then when I went to see the movie, I figured that since I knew what was going to happen I would just sit there. Which I did, at first. But when his father started crying, that just did it for me. I cried until the end of the movie. It was just so touching and sad.
silver_moon
well, when i voted i thought it was about the book, but now that i come to think of it, we saw Mr Diggory crying and screaming only in the movie, so...

when i read the book, i didn't cry, it just surprised me, i thought, wow, she killed a character... a boy!!!
and when i watched the movie, i didn't cry until Harry Potter began to explain why was he carrying the body, i couldn't avoid it.... sad.gif
Everseer
Well, when I first read the book, I was feeling horrible...

I never guessed that Cedric would die, it was the last thing I wonder that could happen to him; but yes, I felt so bad...

Then, 20th of November '05 I went to see GoF movie on a school premier (all my school was there, the school made this special function to get money for the school), so you can imagine...

I knew that he would die, was important part of the movie, but I never realized that I would burst into tears: the shocked face, the I-don't-care attitude of Voldemort made me cry, even more than the girls I was accompained with...

I calmed down, because all people were looking me (kind of funny thing)...

Then, when they come back with Mr. Diggory and he begins to cry, I did begin to cry again too...

The expression of their faces, the feeling of being so sorrowful I got was impossible to explain in that moment; you just felt like if you were in the stands inside the movie...

Shocked, scared, sad, terrible, tearful...

And again was funny to see all my friends looking after me when I was crying, that now is (now they know me better) such a normal thing (I cry with poetry, stories, nice songs, theater, etc)...

Ever~
flagrate
I shocked myself how I reacted. Yes, I cried. He's one of my favorite characters... to be snuffed like that without a fleeting chance... evil.
bloodbadge
I just felt...kind of anger towards Pettigrew, because Cedric was a good lad.
I also spotted a mistake in the film/book, relating to Cedric's death. Did any of you recognize that it was Peter Pettigrew that cast the Avada Kedavra spell on Cedric, not Lord Voldemort, as he was quite weak. And later on in the assembaly, Dumbledore tells the Hogwarts students that Cedric is murdered by 'Lord voldemort'! Incorrect!
Anyhow, this made my anger towards Cedric's death even stronger, (merely due to my emotional feeling towards the Harry Potter books. I have read through all 6 books five times now, and have read the 6th book three times now. So I am sad enough to spot things like this.) rolleyes.gif
Veneficus_Diligo
Well, when I read the book, I was suprised and stunned. I was upset, but no tears...When I watched the movie however, I was in TEARS! His fathers cries were heartbreaking! Great acting on his part!
Lizzy_Radcliffe
Okay, I knew he was going to snuff it, but how it was portrayed in the movie made it so dramatic. It was great.

First, I was shocked and numb. Then I started crying. Not too hard, though.

Then, Harry brought the body back, and I bawled even harder. And as his dad came in, I was such a baby. I had so many of these huge gut-wrenching sobs that I was convulsing. It was bad, let me tell you. sad.gif

Then I calmed down a bit just to get worked up again during the memorial for him. He was such a good actor, and really hot, too. Anyway, I cried a lot, but I cried even more when I went to see it again with a friend of mine. I don't know what I'll do in OOtP and HBP. I'm almost afraid...


Cedric, may you rest in peace...
Ginevra
When I read the book, I was like 'o, cedric's dead. i won't even bother to look sad'. But then I saw the movie and Mr. Diggory was screaming "That's my boy" I cried a little.
Misto
"ooops?!" Why did an innocent guy noone knew before book 4 have to die? Then I just read on as the scene on the graveyard was just too fascinating to worry about poor Cedric smile.gif
