in a sense is dumberdore realy gone

[pig]

ive been thinking in the end of the six book dumbeldore was with the other potrates in the office after his death   if all the other head masters and mistress can talk and hear and move in out of painting then dumbeldore should be able do so to. so in a sense he isnt realy gone.

JK Rowling had already mentioned something similar because somebody asked her if Harry could talk to Sirius's portrait like talking to the real Sirius. JK said it's impossible (for what reason I forgot :P)

you do make a very good point pig and i agree but they cant think of what they were gonna do before they died so he really cant help can he?????????????????//

  I dont think so but i think he isn't gone that what i think!!!!!!!!! :) :

[ron2kool]

since he was a headmaster he should have a portrait
but when they had the funeral and lit the casket on fire didn't something fly away like he turned into a pheonix or something

that last part maybe part of my imagination but i think i remember reading that something white flew away

[jon weasley]

I think since his portrait appeared in his office that he is dead

Well, I personally believe he's gone, but I'll throw something out there to argue the opposite. Dumbledore was one of the greatest wizards ever, couldn't he have put a spell on himself so that when he died he turned into a phoenix and another one so that the portrit would come upeven though he was still alive? And, I'll throw one more out there which is the more evil one. Any chance that Fawkes was a Horcrux for Dumbledore, since at the end he flew away in a phoenix?

  i WHY??????? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

[jon weasley]

i quite agree neo but also dissagree
(most likely cuz its hard to understand what you say but thats not the point

[Neo]

What's so hard to understand about what I say?

[jon weasley]

everything

[ron2kool]

i like your ideas and there isn't anything hard to understand about what you say neo

!!!Of course that could be because i'm blonde!!!

[Neo]

Lol thanks.

Neo's point is great. The idea that Dumbledore made a Horcrux is really cool but i don't know if Dumbledore was evil enough to kill someone just to make one but he could kinda think it was for the greater good for him to stick around.
