I think I'm going to be a grossly immiture child about Sirius' death. I cried, so much, during OOtP. Strangely, I cried when JK brought James across as arrogant. The second Harry noticed James' hair in the O.W.L. examination hall, I burst into tears...of joy, I'm assuming. I kept repeating to myself, where's Sirius, where's Sirius, until he was mentioned.
In case you haven't noticed or been informed, I'm a huge Sirius fan, and I cried for about two hours (still reading the book) everytime someone mentioned him. His death was so...unexpected at the time it happened, but not unexpected entirely. If you even began to understand what I was trying to say there, kudos to you.
Anywho, I'm already having my "Remember Sirius" t-shirt made, with "Padfoot" stamped on the back as well. What gets me the most is that Remus didn't seem all that devistated by it. Granted I'm sure he'd be trying to keep it all in, but I think Rowling made it appear that Harry was the only one majorly affected by Sirius' death.
Remember Sirius,
CS, Padfoot Lives on in my Heart

1. Sirius died because he fell through that veil, which I imagine contains some bottomless pit. Bellatrix only shot a stunning spell at Sirius, since they said it was a red beam (and the killing curse is green), so the force of the spell was what knocked Sirius into the veil, killing him. So it wasn't really the spell that killed him first.
2. I'm not really disappointed nor surprised about Sirius's death. Sirius was like a father to Harry, but it would be pretty tough for JKR to kill off someone like Mr. Weasley cause they're so important to the Order. It would also be really complicated for JKR to write about Sirius's life after he got cleared by the Ministry (cause I believe he was going to be cleared, since Fudge found out that Dumbledore was telling the truth at the end and was ready to believe just about anything he said at that point).
3. Of course JKR had to put the death at the end of the book. If she put it in the middle or something, then wouldn't the most hyped up part of the book have been revealed already? In case you haven't noticed, people tend to put the most exciting things at the end. And it's a good way to end the book too.
Overall, I thought the book was pretty good. The only criticism I have for it was that Dumbledore did not reveal enough to Harry. I wanted to know the secret behind that cryptic veil. But for those of you who are thoroughly disappointed in the book, I think you expected too much out of a writer. And we still have 2 more books to go, so I'm sure a lot of unanswered questions will be answered in due time.
