Dumbledore must die

Post #214,974 by ChrisR 7/15/05 11:11:42 AM Reply	Dumbledore must die It's inevitable! Can't keep him around in the last book to bail Parry Hotter out of trouble when he has to inevitable kill Snape. :-) My 9yo daughter and I have read the books (out loud) together (trading off chapters). HP helped her enjoy reading at an early age - and that's the main reason I like the pimply faced kids of hogwarts. So I'll be up late tonight at the local B&N sucking on the hallucinogen (ButterBeer) with my young one. To kill the time, we're taking her chess set to play while waiting in line.

Which, for a Saturday, is still a terribly uncivilised in my opinion, but never mind :) Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Many book stores will be open late tonight in preparation for the invasion of \ufffdPotheads.\ufffd Not to be mistaken with people who habitually smoke exotic herbs, these Potheads are just wild about Harry Potter.

Why is is it inevitable that he has to kill Snape? I dont see that. Someone does die off in this book, though. The half blood prince is neither Harry or Voldemort. So who's a half blood- NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM! He has that connection with Harry through the prophecy in the last book. That's who I'm putting my money on- and that's who I think is going to die. Mmmmmmm...butterbeer. Have fun.

Entirely subconcious on Rowlings' part. Anyways I look forward to reports, though I'll wait for the paperback version to read it.

My sources indicate a couple of other tidbits: -- Turns out that Ginny Weasley is the inside source of information for voldemort, having been a snake-eater in her wild and crazy days at hogwarts college for aspiring witches. -- Dudley buffs up even more in the latest book and beats the crap out of all the hogwarts students who don't fork over their lunch money. He becomes virtually unstoppable when he acquires WOMD (Wand of Master Dumbledore).

Post #214,993 by imqwerky 7/15/05 11:54:22 AM Reply	Yes, Dumbledore must die Kind of like the Obi-Wan Kenobi thing in the first Star Wars. Dumbledore is more powerful from the spirit world and so he succumbs to death. Then Professor McGonagall will take over as headmistress of Hogwarts. It makes perfect sense.

And Tom Riddle is revealed to be Harry Potter's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roomate.
