I wish his death weren't so, but now that it is, I will continue reading the books with upmost respect of Sirius Black. He was one of my most beloved characters. I will always have a place in my mind reserved for the gorgeous Sirius Black. Ever sense I started reading the 3rd book I've been addicted to the dark, intellegent, and handsome man. I was hoping to learn more about his charater in the next books but now that he is no more, that will cease to happen. His death came to me a bit of shock , or at least how he died. I didn't exspect him to get blown away by his frick'n cousin. I was hoping for a more dramatic ending of his life. Well, I wasn't hoping, but he could have been better off fighting a most bloody grusome battle instead of him just getting hit in the chest. I think he could have had a better ending than that. He didn't deserve the calm death of just one spell. He could have been made into a better part of the series, but that is not my desision, and I respect J. K. Rowling's writing. I believe she knows what she is doing, even though she had to kill of my favorite character doing so. I will miss Sirius Black greatly. Cheers!
