Yep. Dobby. Which for some reason, makes his death scene even funnier to
me now.

Er... why did you find Dobby's death scene funny in the first place?

Correct me if I am wrong, Dru - but I think ideas that Dru is after
are "maladroit", "cheap sentimentality", "maudlin" - particularly the
last. The whole burial bit is such an obvious appeal to miserable
weepy sentimentality that while Dru was laughing at the irony I was
thinking in terms of "consumer fraud".

Over the years I've donated close to a hundred dollars to the "send
Rowling's kids to the moon" fund. And at the end I'm rewarded with
this?
