All three of the people in the world who have never read the Harry Potter series probably view it as a cutesy, childish series of whimsical adventure. However, seasoned Potterheads will tell them how mistaken they are. Tragedy is more common than uncommon starting in the fourth book, and many of the characters that we’d grown to know and love began to die. Though there are too many deaths to count in the series, these ten definitely stick out as the ten saddest. (Note: This is super subjective.)
7Cedric Diggory
We only knew Cedric for a short while, but his death (the first major one in the series) made us all think the same thing: “Ooh. Rowling isn’t afraid to go there.” Cedric was charismatic, loyal, brave, and excessively kind-hearted, someone for whom cooperation and friendship was of the utmost importance. The reaction of his father Amos, who was unspeakably proud of his son, made it all the more difficult to watch and read about.
