The Death Of Dumbledore...?

[filkertom]

Many, many people have speculated on whether or not Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore buys it in HBP. Well, Guardian Unlimited has a contest -- descriptions of the old guy's presumed demise in various and sundry author and literary styles.

Thanks to nuveena for pointing this out.

From the reliable source I have, Dumbledore survives the book. I don't know who dies, but the book does tie up some loose ends. Its supposedly a good read.

For myself, I actually hope he does die in this book -- not out of any animosity, but because, dramatically, that works best... without him, everybody will be freaking until Book 7 comes out, wondering how Harry can win without him.

If Dumbledore doesn't die in book six, he has to die at the beginning of book 7. I consider this line a dead givaway (said at least twice in the series) -- "I will not worry about Harry as long as Dumbledore is here".

Personally, I think at the end of book 6, saving Harry, is the logical place for it.

I'm eagerly awaiting this book but KNOW as soon as I have devoured it, I will be left with many more questions than answers and a crushing desire to have the last book NOW NOW NOW DO YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!!! [Uh Oh, five exclamation points, a definite sign of a deranged mind.]

Even when/if Dumbledore buys the farm, his portrait will go up in the Headmaster's Office and certainly stay in the game, helping out whenever possible.

Not if he goes like Sirius....

There is something siriously [sic] weird about that whole Veil thing. No corporeal remains are left, is the person truly "dead" or merely teleported somewhere out of physical and magical reach?

Maybe he knows Qui-Gonn Jinn's Jedi Mind Tricks? [grin]

Dumbledore is a crafty master manipulator and will make his death work toward his master plan, some way, some how.

ROFL! I just wish I'd seen this while the contest was still going on. Oh well... :)
