I think the unpredicted death was (SPOILER)Hedwig. C'mon guys, did anyone really see that one coming? I sure didn't. Also, I think it really sucks that (SPOILER)not only were we not given any chance to grieve for Remus and Tonks, but they weren't even given on-screen deaths. They were alive, fighting, and then oh look they're lying over there dead. I thought Remus and Tonks were both lovely characters, and they deserved better than what Rowling gave them. In fact, NONE of the human deaths were given the same consideration as Dobby's death, which I think was done rather beautifully. I cried while Harry dug the grave, consumed with grief, and Luna's eulogy during his funeral. It was thoughtful and sad, and well executed. Wtf happened with everyone else? Bam bam bam, dead dead dead. And then barely a sentence or two concerning those deaths.
