I can't see her hedging on that message now, especially when Dumbledore's departure is "required" for Harry to fulfill his destiny.

So Obi wan is dead and through Lukes thirst for vengence, is his destiny set!!

Oh sorry it's a H.P. thread not S.W.

let me correct . . . So Dumbledore is dead and through Harry's thirst for vengence, is his destiny set!! hmmmm weird!!

Will Dumbledore return in an etheral form to guide his student? How weird would that be J.K. George Rowling Lucas Tolkien has a great imagination though!!! So original

Hmmm.... Star Wars, you say?

Snape will betray Voldemort ala Darth Vader and give Harry enough time to escape or finish the emp... no, sorry... Lord Voldemort. Hermione will find out she is Harry's sister, therefore Ron will Marry her. Wedg... er.... Neville will marry Luna. Once Voldemort is dead, all evil simply ceases to be, and they'll all be flying towards a sunset with their X-Win... Brooms. And during the movie, Harry will lose his arm and scream "Noooooo!" when he finds out that Voldemort is his uncle.

I like it.

Haha, I hope all that comes true. It would make it very interesting!
Actually, being serious, I think Harry will suffer some kind of major injury at the end (if he doesn't die that is...or he'll get injuried, battle on, kill voldemort then have a dramatic and teary farewell scene)...these protagonist types always seem to, don't they...

RAB is Sirius 2 year younger brother. In the Dutch version the Black family name is translated to Zwarts, and thus RAB is translated as well, the B becoming a Z. It is not severus Snape, it is Regulus Alphard Black

Thanks for the info I had never heard his middle name before but I had heard that some translation showed that it was really Sirius's brother

[CatKid]

not sure if anyone would back me up here
but i think that the "large blonde death eater firing off jinxes" is Regulus Black. read it through with that in mind?

"Will we be hearing anything from Sirius Black's brother, Regulus, in future books?"

"Well, he's dead, so he's pretty quiet these days."


hmmm maybe after reading this u might change ur line of thinking??

we know how cunning JKR can be so she might mean that Regulus is dead but now he goes by a new name?? hmmm

Hello!

I have not actually read all of the posts made in this thread, but I have my own theory. I do think Dumbledore died, but I also believe he will be back. I don't think that it is a coincidence that D's familiar is a phoenix - which dies and is reborn from its own ashes - nor do I think that it is a coincidince that the big D was talking so much to Snape - who happens to work with potions. Could it be that Snape has made a potion using a feather or some such from the phoenix which will allow the big D to come back somehow?

To Paige Turner - Yes, Death has been clearly defined, but just as clearly defined in the books is the phoenix - a creature which obviously does not pay any attention to how clearly defined death has been in the books. And when you throw in a master wizard like Snape who skilled at brewing potions and such - well, the possibilities are endless....

Just my own rambling thoughts...

[HoopyFrood]

I really, really hope he doesn't come back. Or Sirius. Or even RAB! People need to stay dead!

[PTeppic]

Assuming he did die in the first place... it's a classic literary device, pretending to be dead when not...

[Paige Turner]

Just one of the MANY parallels between literature and possums.

[MARKLS21]

Hiya folks,i think we've established who R.A.B is,as to the other theories,i don't think Dumbledore is dead,i think he is just playing possum to lure Voldemort out of hiding,after all,both him and Snape are powerful 'occulens',or some word like that,i forget,and had more than enough time to work something between them before the 'AK', spell,'V' is only scared of 'D'and so won't show himself while he thinks he's alive,remember Snapes speach in Harry's first potions lesson ''Even put a stopper in death'',maybe they've done just that.
As to Sirius,i don't think he's all the way dead,that portal he fell through as he was blasted,may be linked,where's his body?.
Harry doesn't truly have any family to speak of,apart from the unwanted Dursleys,if he isn't killed off in book 7,he's gonna be a 16 year old orphan,bit morbid.

[Joel007]

If serious and dumbleydoree aren't dead i shall be objecting to the terrible plot twist.
Sirius was doubly killed, and dumbledore, after being killed by the curse, was thrown off a high wall, seen by a lot of people, and buried. If he's not dead, he'll be wondering why its so dark in there.

[HoopyFrood]

Heh...I agree, if Dumbledore and Sirius are still alive, I will throw the book off a high cliff...yeah...that'll teach it to be so annoying. Yeah. *satisfied nod*
