i've been wondering whether i'm deeply psychologically troubled. i mean, why else would i sob for an hour in my car one year after finding out that a fictional character bit it?
Believe me, I totally understand and wonder the same thing, because I am still not over it, and I can't bring myself to reread OotP except in small bits and sections. The idea of rereading it makes me angry because I can't understand what Rowling was thinking when she killed him. It makes no sense to me, story-wise, which just makes me angry. I mean, I can understand character death - Cordelia. Doyle. Theoden. These all made me cry, but they made sense in the context of the story. They didn't seem a product of sloppy writing. Sirius's death does.
