J.K. Rowling Reveals The ONLY Harry Potter Character's Death She Cried Over

JK Rowling‘s opinion is a big deal. Not only did her freakin’ chair sell for a pretty sum, but the Harry Potter author never forgets a single detail about her epic novels. Every year she remembers critical scene: The Battle Of Hogwarts, by apologising to fans for the death of characters she killed off. This year she revealed this is the ONLY time she cried over her choice…

The character in question is Remus Lupin (yep, and you thought last year’s apology for Fred Weasly was heartbreaking).

Once again, it's the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts so, as promised, I shall apologise for a death. This year: Remus Lupin.

In the interests of total honesty I'd also like to confess that I didn't decide to kill Lupin until I wrote Order if the Phoenix.

Arthur lived, so Lupin had to die. I'm sorry. I didn't enjoy doing it. The only time my editor ever saw me cry was over the fate of Teddy. 😢
