Damn, i can hardly wait till it comes out

784 pages:D

Yu jost forget One basic point , he appeared in the headmaster room in one of the pictures , that means his is dead for sure. If that didnīt happen You would have a good argument

same here, i might not be able to get a copy till... 4 months after it comes out =/

In an interview of Rowling, she is questioned without revealing anything too important to the plot. A specific question asked during this interview, was about upcoming deaths. This is what leads me to believe that Dumbledore will not be alone much longer. This is a quote from Rowling herself, "I need to be more explicit: Dumbledore is definitely dead." So that pretty much blows your theory out of the water, however you did a good job thinking it through. What leads me to believe that Dumbledore will have company soon, quoted from Rowling states this when asked if she could, what characters would she have over for dinner: "Harry, Ron, and Hermione... [Rowling pauses; thinks about a different character who's dead but does not say his/her name. King interjects: "they could be dead"]. Dumbledore.... [another pause]. Hagrid."

That pause leaves me to believe that Hagrid may not be that "healty" in the next book. My opinions are based entirely on what I get from you guys, and sites concerning the controversy on the subject.

I suggest you read over the following pages for controversial takes on the subject:

There are plenty of ways you can research this , and even more concerning the interviews taken place with Rowling. I have no doubt that Dumbledore will appear in some way shape or form in the next book. Whether it be something he left behind, someone talk to him in a photo, or ( like harry had seen his parents ) as a ghost. You will never know until you read the next book I presume. But as I have previously stated, I have not and do not plan on reading any of it. I read 1-4 of the series a few years back, and haven't had the urge to pick it back up. But I did find it interesting that Dumbdore was pronounce dead, so I have done a little research to better examine a theory on it. However in all controversy, Deagol deserves well earned credit in his reasonable theory, but I now think Dumbledore is dead and will not physically return.

So what, would Rowling actually say that Dumbledore is ALIVE, after everyone is thinking he is dead?

That would ruin the entire next book, don't you think?

No, however I doubt she would have said No the way she when when asked if he was still alive. I felt she was getting rather annoyed being asked so many times. She answered it pretty stern, however I do think the next book will have a very exciting plot twist. I'm half tempted to read the ones I've missed before that one releases.

i think he should be dead just for the simple little fact that if he isnt. That WHOLE SCENE WOULD BE A WASTE OF
TIME.

We all wish he werent dead, but I'm pretty sure he is...

what a fuckin theory lol. god i hope ur right, before i read book 6 my buddy was tellin me "snape is a real important role in this one" so i was thinkin shit hes gonna actually start actively going against voldemort. then he fuckin blasts dumbledore and i was fucking shocked... my buddy was laughin his ass off... i was not amused

but u know the accio jynx/curse for accio wand would work and as u know silent casting is what snape tells harry he needs to master to have a chance

but i would never have thought of this if u hadnt pointed this out good eye for detail
