It has become a tradition for J.K. Rowling to apologise for killing off a character in Harry Potter on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. In the past Rowling has apologised for the deaths of Severus Snape, Fred Weasley, and Remus Lupin. This year, the author is saying sorry for killing off another one of Harry's closet allies.

If you remember, Dobby was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange while trying to save Harry and the rest of his friends in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire series! Harry Potter fans received Rowling's apology with open arms, some even said they've "waited years" for it.
