On the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to apologize to fans for killing off Dobby, the beloved house-elf.
[If you'll remember, he was murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange as he helped Harry & his friends escape Malfoy Manor.]
Rowling has made it somewhat of a tradition to apologize for the deaths of her characters, choosing one to spotlight every May 2 -- but this year's was particularly emotional for Potter-Lovers.
