(spoilers) Dumbledore
i was talking to my friend's mom about OotP. she thought that Dumbledore would end up dying towards the end of the series. heres why:
"Harry turned to look where Neville was staring. Directly above them, framed in the doorway from the Brain Room, stood Albus Dumbledore, his wand aloft, his face white and furious. Harry felt a kind of electric charge surge through every particle of his body - they were saved." Harry knows when Dumbledore arrives everything will be okay. And so far, Dumbledore has always been there when he was needed the most, like in OotP. Wont there be a time when Dumbledore wont come to the rescue and Harry will have to face Voldemort on his own? Your thoughts.....

Yah, that is a good point. Also In TGoF. Hagrid said 'As long as we've got Dumbledore, I'm not worried' or something along those lines.

I always thought it was pretty obvious Dumbledore would die during the climax of the seventh book. The climax of the series, really, when Harry has to /finally/ do something for himself.

It is possible Dumbledore may sacrifice himself - or maybe not. He is getting old in years, but he still kicks major ass. Has everyone forgotten about his evil glint in his eye or whatever at the end of book 4?

It wasn't an evil glint - just a gleam. We still don't know what it meant. I reckon Dumbledore's got to die, because he can't always be there to save Harry. Harry has to win the final battle for himself.

Does he have to die? I don't want him to die, he was my favorite and it would be kind of a hollow victory wouldn't it, killing off Dumbledore? What I think would be better (just my opinion) would be if near the end of the seventh book Dumbledore had another duel with Voldemort but this time Voldemort had grown so powerful that he lost and Harry had to step in and save Dumbledore for once. Does anyone else think this could happen? Or am I just in denial about Dumbledore dying?

I dont think Dumbledor wants to kill Voldermort he seems to be above that kinda thing he is not gonna take the life of a lesser is he? He is Vastly superior to all in those books not only does he name Voldermort he acctually names him as tom (nowt like taking the pi** out of a dark lord is there)

One thing's for sure: after OOTP, I don't think anybody can push a convincing "Dumbledore is evil" argument anymore.

'Tom': Dumbledore was, I think, gradually stripping Voldemort of the power of his invented name.

I was all for Dumbledore-is-evil during the majority of the book, especially with the ignoring-Harry thing and something Hermione said ("If we can't trust Dumbledore, we can't trust anyone.").
By the end, though, it seemed like Dumbledore wouldn't have gone through so much trouble if he was evil.

Well, I think that he will probably die in the last 5 chapters of Book 7. I don't want him to, but...*shrugs* We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

...Or maybe he'll die in the very end in Harry's arm's(or someone's)after killing a really evil bad guy and While he is lying there He tells a very unnexpected secret about Harry or Voldamort or someone else...
