I'm a huge 'Harry Potter' fan — and I'm glad Dobby is dead
Warner Bros.
- J.K. Rowling apologized for killing off Dobby in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
- She's right to recognize that it was emotionally wrenching, but wrong to apologize.
- Dobby's character had come to its natural culmination.
- His death was the right move for the good of the series.
Every year, on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, J.K. Rowling apologizes for killing off a character in the "Harry Potter" series. This year, it's Dobby, the house-elf.
"It's that anniversary again," she tweeted. "This year, I apologise for killing someone who didn't die during the #BattleofHogwarts, but who laid down his life to save the people who'd win it. I refer, of course, to Dobby the house elf."See the rest of the story at Business Insider
