The death of Michael Scofield in 'Prison Break'. It annoyed me more than anything but I felt some sadness at his passing, albeit fictional.
I also had a teacher read Old Yeller to us. I bawled.
Yeh, I was gutted when I first read Lord of the Rings and Gandalf 'died' by falling into that chasm. I ditched the book and didn't go back to it for a decade, until the films came out, lol.
Any death of fictional characters get you teared up? I am a HUGE Buffy fan and when Tara died, I just bawled for hours. I still do, even 8 years later. I was rooting for Willow to tear Warren a new asshole...I think he got off easy.
I also cry when I see Doyle die on Angel and it's hard to watch, and even though I knew it was coming, Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
We've certainly had our share of those around here, and boy, the trouble they caused. http://www.lpsg.org/26208-dmw-gone.html
