HE'S ALIVE. WE'VE PREVIOUSLY SEEN HARRY STRUGGLING WITH A SPELL THAT CAME INTO PLAY LATER IN THE BOOK. IN BK 3 IT WAS THE PATRONUS CHARM, WHICH HE EVENTUALLY USED TO SAVE SIRIUS. IN 4, IT WAS THE ACCIO SPELL THAT HE USED AGAINST THE DRAGON IN THE FIRST TASK. IN BOOK 6, IT'S THE NONVERBAL SPELL. WHILE WE DIDN'T SEE HARRY USE IT, SNAPE DID. HE USED A NONVERBAL SPELL ON DUMBLEDORE, AND JUST SAID THE WORDS TO THE AVADA KADAVRA. IN BOOK 5, ONE OF THE DEATH EATERS TELLS HARRY THAT HE HAS TO MEAN THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES FOR THEM TO WORK. SNAPE DIDN'T MEAN IT. \nDUMBLEDORE (DD) IS ALIVE AND EVIL. NOT EVIL LIKE IN AN ALLIANCE WITH VOLDEMORT, BUT EVIL LIKE AGAINST VOLDEMORT. (REREAD THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS...NOT SURE ON THE PAGE NO. BUT IN THE 1ST OR 2ND CHAPTER, DOBBY TELLS HARRY THAT DD'S POWERS RIVAL VOLDY'S) DD CREATED THE ORDER TO OVERTHROW VOLDY, BUT THE MEMBERS HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS PLANNING TO DO WITH IT. DD WANTED TO KEEP PROFESSOR TRELAWNEY IN THE CASTLE JUST IN CASE SHE HAD ANOTHER PROPHECY THAT COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN HELPING HIM OVERTHROW VOLDY. DUMBLEDORE WANTS HARRY TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK FOR HIM (KILL VOLDY) SO THAT HE CAN TAKE OVER AS THE REIGN OF THE EVIL ASPECT OF THEIR WORLD. IN THE END HARRY WILL REALIZE ALL THIS AND KILL DD TOO. SNAPE IS EVIL. DD SAYS OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT HE TRUSTS SNAPE, NOT OVER AND OVER THAT SNAPE IS GOOD. (VERY STRATEGIC PLAY ON WORDS BY JO HERE.) HARRY ENDS UP KILLING SNAPE.

Dumbledoor was supposedly killed by Snape.  However, couldn't they just use the Time Turner from the third installment to go back and fix things?

I believe Severus Snape from the Harry Potter books has been proved too be bad, but I think that behind the smoke screen, hes good. Heres Why - \nWARNING: SPOILER FROM HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!!\n1. Snape Lies to Narcissa and Bellatrix... Twice\n\nDuring the meeting that Snape has at his house with Narcissa and Bellatrix in chapter 2, Snape tries to explain to them why he never killed Harry all those years at Hogwarts when he had ample opportunity:\n\n"Of course, it became apparent to me very quickly that he had no extraordinary talent at all. He has fought his way out of a number of tight corners by a simple combination of sheer luck and more talented friends. He is mediocre to the last degree..." (HBP pg 31/36)\n\nBut we know Snape knows this is a lie. We know Snape knows that Harry is a powerful wizard. We know he knows Harry is a parselmouth. We know he knows Harry could conjure a corporeal patronus when he was just 13 years old. We know he knows Harry has stood up to and prevailed against Voldemort five times!\n\nBut not even one whole page later, Narcissa is crying to Snape she has something she wants to say, but has been forbidden to talk about by Voldemort. Snape immediately replies that she should follow Voldemort's orders, and sister Bellatrix agrees. But Snape appears troubled by the conversation:\n\nBut Snape had gotten to his feet and strode to the small window, peered through the curtains, and then closed them again with a jerk. He turned around to face Narcissa, frowning. (HBP pg 32/37)\n\nWhat happened to make him jerk the curtains closed all of a sudden and turn back to the women, frowning? Has he had a revelation?\n\nIt is only at this point that he confides in them that he already knows the plan, that Voldemort has already told him. He's lying again! \n\nIf he already knew the plan, why would he have taken the position, just one moment earlier, that she should follow Voldemort's law and not speak of it? \n\nWe know Snape is a powerful Legilimens, we learned that in the Occlumency scenes with Snape and Harry in Order of the Phoenix. Just in case we forgot about Legilimency, J.K. mentioned it just a few pages ago. Questioning Voldemort's trust in Snape, Snape interrupts:\n\n"You think he is mistaken? Or that I somehow hoodwinked him? Fool the Dark Lord, the greatest wizard, the most accomplished Legilimens the world has ever seen?" (HBP pg 26/31)\n\nHaving just been on the verge of spilling the beans to Snape, Draco's assignment must have been top-most in Narcissa's thoughts, and in the quiet moment at the window, Snape saw it in her mind. He then lies to them about already knowing the plan, to gain their trust.\n\nSo, at the same time that Snape is trying to convince Narcissa and Bellatrix that he's worthy of Voldemort's trust, we can see he is lying to them, several times. That can only mean that Snape isn't as loyal to Voldemort as he'd like Bellatrix and Narcissa (and us!) to believe.\n\n2. What Hagrid Overheard\n\nHarry is talking to Hagrid after the poisoning of Ron, and Hagrid lets it slip that he overheard something he shouldn't have:\n\nI was comin' outta the forest the other evenin' an' I overheard 'em talking -- well, arguin'. ... I jus' heard Snape sayin' Dumbledore took too much fer granted an' maybe he -- Snape -- didn' wan' ter do it anymore ... Dumbledore told him flat out he'd agreed ter do it an' that was all there was to it." (HBP pg 405/380)\n\nThis clue comes right out and tells us that Snape is following the orders of Dumbledore, although we now see whatever Snape has promised to do for Dumbledore is difficult or unpleasant.\n\nWe also now have comfirmation that Dumbledore has a plan, which involves Snape, and Dumbleore is confident that the plan that Snape has agreed to will proceed.\n\n3. No DADA Teacher Has Lasted More Than 1 Year\n\nFor every Hogwarts yea

I read that and I dont remember anyone dying in the beginning...maybe you misread it. Thats the one with Hester and Pearl, right? Well they didn't kill her...so I'm not sure what you are talking about

Well, in my personal opinion, I think that J.K. Rowling would make Voldemort probably die, just because the good guy always wins and everyone likes the happy endings. However, wouldn't it be somethin else is ol' voldy won out in the end and Harry stopped suffering and went to be with his family? If that happened, would that mean that voldemort got to reigin powerful and victorious once again? Hm...  but to answer the question, I think that even though Rowling is probably going to keep us in suspense for another year or two, (and it will be full of angst and suspense) Harry will win. I think that's because he has some friends to lean on and also, I think that Dumbledore dying was part of a plan, so don't be surprised if he still has a part to play in all this.

no, i don't think so. i love harry potter as well but i highly doubt he's on answers. he might be on some of the better known fan sites like mugglenet or leaky though. Jo browses through those sites every once in a while so maybe daniel does too.

A lot. My friends read The DaVinci Hoax. They said it's a must read. It clarified FACTUALLY  the WRONG claims of the The DaVinci Code.

People.... this is real, Ivana did indeed pass away, as NRA4EVR stated above.  I understand how easy it is for you to type a few keys and send something you didn't really mean.\n\nIs this another crazy joke?  - was my first thought.   She was part of the crowd who hapily answered the goofy questions along with the serious, and I just couldn't believe her passing was real.  But Ivana is gone.  Rest in peace, Ivy.

I have read that there isn't any quidditch in the next book which supports Harry not coming back to Hogwarts.  I also read that the last word in the book is supposed to be SCAR.

No. It is a hoax.  \nBy the way, your answer to why are we here, I agree and God bless you.

There are many facts in it and there are many hoax's weaved in with it.  Don't believe anyone saying that "it's all a lie" and don't believe anyone saying that "it's all true".  Pick a part that you have doubts about or interest, and then do your own research.\n\nFor starters though, most items related to the Knights Templar and what happened to them is true.  Their final fate is the subject of legend.\n\nThe Catholic church has apologized and admitted to the 2000 year old smear campaign against Mary Magdaline.  She was not a prostitute, and was in fact one of Jesus' most favored companions.  Suppositions after this fact have no concrete record, such as that he was married to her or had children by her, but are open to translation and interpretation.\n\nThe claim that there were three competing sects of Christianity at the time of Emporer Constantine's death is true.  The fact that one sect (Orthodox, modern Catholic) with royal backing had the other two (Aryanism and Gnosticism) hunted down and slaughtered is true.\n\nIn the book several word origins and translations were presented as a fun lesson, and these are true.\n\nEverything else is either part of a hoax or subject to interpretation.

1. riddle's diary\n2. ring\n3. salazar's locket\n4. hufflepuff's goblet\n5. something from gryffindor or ravenclaw\n6. nagini (voldemort's snake)\n\nthis is all speculation, nobody knows for certain what they all are.  this is what dumbledore guessed.

I want to know that too.  I have all the other ones, I hated the ending in the 'Half Blood Prince'\n\nI still have the impression that Severus is one of the good guys, what do you think?  He seems shaded and wronged in the situation, and I think in the end he will be one of the deciding points to help Harry out.  After all, he had no choice but to kill DumbleDore after the oath he took.\n\nI can't wait to find out if my intuitions about Severus are correct.  I hope she puts the book out soon!

my mother's friend has an uncle who lives in Europe and is a personal friend of J.K. Rowling. u might have  heard of him Jack Rausae, recently, she let something major slip to him. He will die at the hand of...... Ron! think about it every time they were in peril, ron tried to get them in more trouble even die but it never worked and we never suspected a thing!

i got hooked on harry potter after seeing the first movie, then i read the books, they are a lot better than the movies, i would have loved to see the quidditch world cup in the 4th movie, but no they left all that out, my favorite chacter in the book is a toss up between dumbeldore and mad eye moody, they are both awesome, and the last book is under raps, but i can tell u one thing from having debates about the sixth book, DUMBELDORE FAKED HIS DEATH, HE IS NOT DEAD, email me or message me for details

Do Ghosts really exist??\n\n\n\nNo one actually knows if ghosts really exist. The only evidence we have are photos and claimed sightings. Most of the photos are of poor quality or are not convincing enough. The sightings may be true but there is no evidence to say so. People have there own ideas of what ghosts look like, from human shaped figures to small objects. Even though there is so much material to say ghosts exist there is still no actual evidence. Until there is some scientific evidence to prove that ghosts actually exist, the legend about ghosts will stay a mystery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@ w w w . c a s t l e o f s p i r i t s . c o m\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTHE GHOST OF HAMPTON COURT?\n\n\n\n\n\nArticle from DAILY MAIL - UK\n\nBy David Harding, Metro\n19 December 2003\n\nTo the sceptic it may simply look like a fuzzy CCTV image of someone in a long coat walking through a doorway.\nExperts say the long-coated figure could be the best proof yet found that things really do go bump in the night... and the day too.\nThe mystery surfaced two months ago at the 16th-century palace, once home to King Henry VIII.\nSecurity staff heard alarms ringing near an exhibition hall, indicating fire doors had been opened. But on investigation they found the doors closed.\nPerplexed, they examined CCTV footage, and that is when it got spooky.\nThe cameras showed the heavy doors popping open but no one there. Then, suddenly, the long- coated figure appeared and slammed the doors shut.\nThe guards were told the same thing happened at the same time - about 1pm - the day before.\nTo add to the mystery, the doors also flew open at the same time the very next day. But the ghostly figure has been spotted only once.\nThe suspected spook has not just been sighted by CCTV. Australian tourists also claim to have seen a ghost near the exhibition area. The palace, in West London, has ruled out its guides as suspects because they do not enter that part of the building.\nPsychologist Dr Richard Wiseman said the spectre, nicknamed Skeletor, might prove to be a significant discovery.\n'It could be the best ghost sighting ever,' he said. 'I haven't seen anything that would match that at all.'\n\nHENRY AND A HISTORY OF HAUNTING\n\nThis is London\n\n19 December 2003\n\n• CATHERINE HOWARD\n\nThe best known haunting at Hampton Court is by Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife.\n\nCharged with adultery in 1541 and placed under house arrest, she broke free from her guards and ran to her husband to plead for her life. The guards dragged her back and she was executed. To this day, it is claimed, a woman in white can be seen floating down the Haunted Gallery.\n\n• JANE SEYMOUR\n\nHenry VIII's third wife, who died in childbirth in 1537, is said to walk through the cobbled courtyard carrying a lighted taper.\n\n• LADY IN GREY\n\nSibell Penn was nurse to Prince Edward, Henry's only son. She died in 1562 and was buried in Hampton Church. When the church was pulled down in 1829 her remains were disturbed and it is said she returned to the rooms she once lived in.\n\n• THE WOLSEY CLOSET\n\nThe room has a 'strange atmosphere'. A phantom dog has been seen and heard here on more than one occasion. \n\nCNN NEWS REPORT\n\nPalace 'ghost' caught on camera Friday, December 19, 2003 Posted: 1:54 PM EST (1854 GMT)\n\nLONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?\n\nClosed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?\n\n"We're baffled too -- it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax.
