I tend to get really attached to fictional characters in ongoing series, but even when horrible things happen to them my reaction is never more than, 'OHMYGOSH THAT IS SO SAD!!' I don't cry at movies or at the end of a long-running TV show or book series, even though the loss of a much-loved character upsets me probably more than it should. In the end I'm just not someone who cries much.
But I have cried once over the death of a fictional character. Exactly once. It was the first time I'd done it and will probably be the last.
I cried when Dobby died in the last Harry Potter. I don't even know why. And then when Harry makes him a headstone that says 'Here lies Dobby, a free elf'... yeah, okay, it got to me.
