Why did Tonks cry when Harry mentioned Sirius?

Tonks cried when Harry mentioned Sirius in Order of the Phoenix because she was deeply upset about Remus Lupin rejecting her love for him, not because she loved Sirius, though Harry (and Remus) mistakenly thought so due to their family connection and Tonks's melancholy after Sirius's death. Tonks's sudden depression and changed Patronus (to a wolf, mirroring Remus's) were signs of her heartbreak over Remus, but Harry's grief for Sirius overshadowed the real reason, leading to confusion about her feelings.

Why was Daniel Radcliffe's scream muted?

Daniel Radcliffe's scream after Sirius Black's death in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was muted for dramatic effect, slowing the scene to let the audience absorb the shock, but a popular (though disputed) fan theory claims it was also because the scream was so real (due to his grandfather's passing that day) it made actors cry and was too intense for the film, with the studio never releasing the unmuted audio. The director aimed for a powerful, lingering silence to show Harry's shock and grief, making the muted effect a stylistic choice to heighten emotion rather than just cutting the sound.
