As someone who read 4 HP books back in 2001-2 and only saw the first 2 movies, I was deeply annoyed by that goblin. Maybe I didn't see "the good part" of the character?
My wife cried when Dobby died. I couldn't have cared less, thing showed up for like 10 seconds, pulled a Deus Ex Machina and died. Congrats, you served your purpose random Red Shirt.
You didn't read the book
I read the book, I read **all ** the main series books. Dobby was as useful as Cho Chang to the story, minus one scene.
