Do you think lupin and tonks should have died and left little teddy lupin behind?

Answer 1

no, i think it was a poor choice on JKs part. i mean, i expected someone to die, but certainly not new parents. thats just to depressing.

Answer 2

I thought it was a good choice on Ms. Rowling's part, it was realistic.
I was a bit disappointed by book 7 though, I thought more of the main characters should have died.
I thought for sure she would have killed Harry or at least Ron, the most she did was kill Fred, Lupin and Tonks; still quiet a loss for the book, but not as big as I had hoped.
I was really disappointed by the last part of the book, it was so mundane and predictable!

Answer 3

i also thought their death was unnecessary and that j.k did not give much importance to their death. but jo explained in one of her interviews and here it is-

"in the Battle of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin, Harry’s only remaining father figure, and Nymphadora Tonks die, in the process creating another orphan in their son, Teddy.

“I think one of the most devastating things about war is the children left behind,” Rowling said. “As happened in the first war when Harry's left behind, I wanted us to see another child left behind. And it made it very poignant that it was their newborn son.” "

this is a very good explanation. if you want a work to be great it must have some message and their death shows the real face of any war.

Answer 4

There's no question of 'should they have died...' ,when the thing's happened and done with. The author wanted them dead, and she has all the power to want, and bring about, their deaths. And the couple weren't given the choice of living or dying.

I don't think it was Lily-James repeat, really... I think JKR wanted that all the Marauders, Peter not included, had to die fighting in the war... Cruel as it seems, I just can't picture any of them growing old and toothy with grandchildren... It feels like these young men were meant to live life to the fullest while they could, and then, when the time came go down fighting for the lives of their friends and children. It feels like that was their marked fate from the very beginning... They all went down battling for their children (for Harry, in Sirius's case)... I don't think they had a choice, really.

Answer 5

I think it was supposed to be alot like Lilly and James but not really. Anyway you knew they were going to die when Voldemort was talking about Tonks marring Remus. I cryed at that part but I wasn't very pleased. I didn't really like anybody dieing. Mostly becuase I loved them to much. As wierd as it may seem I even grew a little fond of Voldemort. I didn't like the things that he did but I still kind of admired him a bit. I wish that I could be that crafty to get people to do things taht I want as well as he did. He was just genuis to me. And the fact that he was afraid to die showed that he was still human. All Voldemort needed was a hug and a straight jacket that's all. I was also sad when Bella died. She seemed so cute to me at times. Not all the times mind you just some times and when she wasn't being cute she was being crazy. I can't really explain much more about her but she was a great villiness. Narcissa ended being pretty ganster i thought to lieing to voldemort so she could get to her son.narcissa didn't die but it just felt right to put her in too. So pretty much Remus and Tonks didn't die. Even though they did.

Answer 6

I thought is was realistic. Both of them were in the forefront of the fight against Voldemort and took front line positions in battle.

People die in war and children get orphaned. That is not to say that it wasn't sad.

Answer 7

No. The way she revealed their deaths sounded like she just wanted to kill someone. It made no sense (yes, death usually doesn't but in stories there's usually a way it fits somehow... dunno how to explain it). Actually, I dislike every death she has written. She just doesn't do that well. But yeah, their deaths seemed totally random and I didn't even cry because it was so rediculous to me.

Don't get me wrong- I love the books and I love what she's done with them, but I just don't think death is something she writes well.

Answer 8

no. that would have been horrible. why would you ever think that?

Answer 9

not really ....
