    Well what was JKR thinking! She has given me many sleepless nights. What was she thinking killing him off. Why didn't she pick someone else like Ron or someone

    Well I did research and I found out that dumbledores death might have been all staged out. Very clever writer JKR. so dumbledore might still be in book 7! If he isnt im going to write hate mail to her! lol. But I wonder who R.A.B is...

    People think he is sirius Black brother.

    1. Dumbledore's Big Chill

    Harry and Dumbledore are up on the top of the tower underneath the Dark Mark. Harry is wearing his invisibility cloak, Dumbledore ordered him to put it on before they mounted their brooms to ride to the top of the tower. Harry hears footsteps and looks around, but Dumbledore orders him with a gesture to retreat. Harry draws his wand and backs away:

    The door burst open and somebody erupted through it and shouted, "Expelliarmus!" Harry's body became instantly rigid and immobile, and he felt himself fall back against the tower wall, propped like an unsteady statue, unable to move or speak.(HBP pg 584/545)

    It's interesting to note that things are happening so fast, even Harry is momentarily confused:

    He could not understand how it happened -- Expelliarmus was not a Freezing Charm -- Then, by the light of the Mark, he saw Dumbledore's wand flying in an arc over the edge of the ramparts and understood... Dumbledore had wordlessly immobilzed Harry, and the second he had taken to perform this spell had cost him the chance of defending himself. (HBP pg 584/545)

    Why did Dumbledore freeze Harry? Harry was already invisible to their attackers and in no danger.

    The only explanation could be that Dumbledore already knew, had already planned, that he would die this night (or appear to die), and not only did he not want Harry to become involved and possibly be injured himself, he needed Harry to be a witness, to be able to tell everyone else what happened.

    Dumbledore might have also promised Snape that he would make sure that Harry would not be able to interfere, knowing how Harry feels about Snape and what Snape was about to have to do.

    The supposition that it was Dumbledore's plan to do this all along is supported by the fact that he acted so quickly to do it, almost without thinking, when Draco burst in on the scene.

    Harry's own assumption that the Freezing Charm was done by Dumbledore is supported by the fact the curse lifted when Dumbledore left the tower minutes later.


    got this from http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com

    They got some really amazing stuff on there but alas we wont know till book 7.

    Yeah people have said RAB is Rubeus Black
    I doubt Dumbledore really is dead, getting all those horcruxes would be damn hard without him

    My point exactly. Look how unskilled Harry is and without someone like dumbledore his going to have to do a whole lot of growing up! Maybe that the reason Dumbledore "died" so Harry could do what he had to do independently...

    Yeah I guess im a wierd way it could have been done to motivate Harry more and get him to start practising all advanced spells and stuff because if that hadn't happened he probably would spend all summer at the Weasely's playing quidditch or something fairly useless against Voldemort

    Very true so all in all we have come to the conclusion that dumbledore's death was an elibrate plan to whip harry into shape. I just hope they don't wait till the end of the book to bring back DD.

    I don't think J.K. has quite finished the Seventh. You know, it's odd, when anything gets killed by Avada Kedavra, they just fall, motionless. I am trying to wonder why Dumbledore "flew back" and why he never hit the ground. I'm also thinking Harry is a horcrux for Voldie but that's just me :p

    She could be setting us up for the next one; one maybe where he makes a comeback somewhere in spirit to guide Harry and maybe he NEEDS to die.
    I'm pretty sure she's probably almost done already with the last one but is going to delay the release for a LONG time.

    OH I remember now. Dumbledore died, I think she made him die cause in real life the person who played him died..

    Her recent books have been so movie orientated cause shes written the book for the movie I think,
