Top Ten Saddest Deaths In Children's Books

The Top Ten
1 Mog (Goodbye Mog)
2 Dobby (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)

I can't believe it. Dobby died. He was my favorite house elf ever! He died heroically; protecting Harry. And the painful minutes I spent reading the way Harry buried him and grieved for him made it all the sadder.

Here lies Dobby, a free elf...

3 Saul (Hetty Feather)
4 Charlotte (Charlotte's Web)
5 Jodie (My Sister Jodie)
6 Birdie (A Doll's House)
7 Leslie (Bridge to Terebithia)
8 Michael Darling (Peter Pan in Scarlet)
9 Aunt Al (Sophie's Lucky)
10 Severus Snape (Harry Potter) Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is characterised as a person of great complexity, whose coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish.

"What if I'm in Slytherin? "
The whisper was for his father alone, and Harry knew that only the moment of departure could have forced Albus to reveal how great and cincere that fear was.
Harry crouched down so that Albus's face was slightly above his own. Alone of Harry's three children, Albus had inherited Lily's eyes.
"Albus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."

"The Bravest Man I Ever Knew" - Harry about Snape.

The Contenders
11 Zach (Goodnight Mr Tom)
12 Captain Crewe (A Little Princess)
13 Ginger (Black Beauty)

I read this in 3rd grade (along with Grimm's Fairy Tales and Secret Garden) at school. But seriously, the chapter Ginger dies is called "Poor Ginger."

14 Cinderpelt (Warriors)
15 Ari Batchelder (Maximum Ride)
16 Dylan (Maximum Ride)
17 Old Yeller (Old Yeller)
18 Bluestar (Warriors)
19 Leafpool (Warriors)
20 Matthew Cuthbert (Anne of Green Gables)
21 Katie's Sister (Kira Kira)

Her name is Lynn by the way

22 Briarlight (Warriors) Briarlight was born to Graystripe and Millie alongside Blossomfall and Bumblestripe. When she was an apprentice, she tried to save Longtail from a falling tree and crushed her lower spine. After that, she had to do exercises to strengthen her backbone. She lived in the Med Cat den, until a case of greencough took her down. She now hunts in StarClan, where she can run painlessly forever.

Briarlight went through so much to only be killed off in River Of Fire. (5th book in sixth series) She went through so much trying to save Longtail but he died anyway and Briarpaw's spine got crushed. R.I.P Briarlight.

23 Hopper (Harry and Hopper)

I remember reading this when I was younger

24 Larten Crepsley (The Darren Shan Saga)
25 Fred Weasley (Harry Potter)
