CONSPIRACY TIME
woow, now that's a super theory, that would be great, getting snape back to the good side, letting snape kill petigrew whom he despised, Dumbeldore still alive,... but on the other hand, Pettigrew couldn't have done all those things in the cave with the Horcrux and he would've never talked like that to Malfoy...the final talk with of DD to Malfoy was a true Dumbeldore talk, even if you say he looks different in the book with bragging and such, he's still very much dumbeldore in the end. a few flaws, but worth the thought, something to keep in mind when re-reading the book. |

It sounds like a good theory to me, but I don't know about Wormtail. Wouldn't You-Know-Who notice that he was gone a lot? Plus I don't think he could pull it off. He's not smart enough.

I'm sorry, but I still believe that Dumbledore is dead. That's not to say that there's not something fishy about his death, but I still think he's dead.
Here's an excerpt from an interview of JK Rowling (JKR): Quote:

Nice theory Beren, but I agree with Khamûl. I just can't see Dumbledore returning. IMO Harry has o this by himself (maybe with a little help from Ron, Hermione and Neville) but DD returning wouldn't be right.

I was rethinking the theories of DD still being alive, but I'm just...really not sure, ya know, with the way it happens, the fact that NO ONE from the order seems to have known about the possible "swap" when they could just have known as long as there was a safekeeper, Hagrid seems devasted and if anyone would've known, it would've been Hagrid in my mind, also the funeral and the white casket and all; and the photograph of DD in the Headmaster's office...
I don't think he's coming back, except if he could talk out of his photograph or something. aaaaah well, but still, I like conspiracies |

It's gonna be interesting to see what he has to say, if anything at all through his portrait in the Headmaster/Headmistress' office...Do you think JKR will include that in Book 7?

I hope so, I love the portraits. And they've been plot devices before (Phineus Nigellus).
Sorry guys, but Dumbledore is D-E-D dead. If he weren't, it wouldn't be Harry who fights Voldemort in the end would it? If Rowling is following any model, it would be having a plot that makes sense. She wouldn't have Dumbledore come back to life and steal Harry's thunder. (As awesome as Dumbledore was. )

Well I decided not to wait until October to re-read HBP. I'm paying more attention to the 'little things' and getting a deeper picture of the whole book this time around. I feel the portraits can contribute a great deal and perhaps D's will do so in the next book. Most enjoyable the second time around.

Maybe he wasn't ready yet, or maybe portraits don't activate until after their funeral, or maybe he was just sleepy.

Yeah, I go along with E on that one. The 'portrait' just got there and so needed to rest and settle in a bit. Then too he didn't have a script for the next book

And he had just been through that huge ordeal. I don't blame him if he wanted a break!
