Ha! "Dead Jedi." One of my spousal unit's co-workers has been referring to Dumbledore as being "'Obi Wan Kenobi' dead," which turned out to be startingly accurate.

And, OMG, Hedwig!! After i finished that chapter i stopped, went to bed (well, it was 2am the night/morning i got the book) and curled against my husband, and just *sniffled* myself to sleep. I was also pretty saddened by Dobby's death, tho' not surprised. Interestingly, i think i was more affected by the death of the non-human characters than i was by any of the humans.
