My wife cried when Dobby died. I couldn't have cared less, thing showed up for like 10 seconds, pulled a Deus Ex Machina and died. Congrats, you served your purpose random Red Shirt.

I read the book, I read **all ** the main series books. Dobby was as useful as Cho Chang to the story, minus one scene.
