Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Death

"Event Details" & "Questions"
This section says that Dumbledore's portrait is not visable in the headmaster's office after his death when McGonagall takes his place as the new headmistress and is talking to Harry.

Perhaps i don't have the original first edition (although the publisher's info page inside the front cover says this is a first edition, however i'm not a book expert), but on page 584 of my copy of "the half-blood prince", it clearly says that Dumbledore's portrait is present alongside the other previous headmasters, showing him sleeping peacefully (i can quote the actual passage if it wouldn't be a violation of copyright...? can someone please advise, i'm not a copyright expert either)


 * "Only after he had drunk the green liquid in the cave did he refer to the Hogwarts Potions teacher as Snape."

This quote is not correct according to my book either, when they both Apparate back to Hogsmeade, and Dumbledore is weak, he tells Harry that he needs "Severus"


 * "Was the green liquid, not the locket, the Horecrux?"

how could it be considering the note Harry found in the locket?

 * No fool, the hrecrux is in the Black house, Sirius's brother is the only one who has initials that fit the ones on the fake horecrux. Also there is reference to an old locket that fits the description. Besides how would it be if harry didn't know how many horecruxes there were? Make the whole 7 horecruxes thig pointless wouldn't it? And yea it says that after harry comes into the office Dumblle's picture is there on the wall. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.28.162.209 (talk • contribs) 07:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Let us not descend to personal attacks, please. Lee does raise a valid question, though in fact it doesn't make sense for the Horcrux to be in the liquid; the liquid is a defence, and the Horcrux is almost certainly in whatever it is defending. And if this unknown R.A.B. did remove the locket, the green liquid must have regenerated itself...

I notice that alot of people seem to think that Albus Dumbledore's Portrait existed only after he died. But, on DISC #2 of the"SPECIAL" 2 Disc DVD SET of THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS allows you to take a tour of Dumbledore's office and private quarters. There you will find his own Portrait is sitting right next to his bed. In the portrait, Dumbledore is standing up & looking directly ahead.....DEFINITELY not sleeping..... (POP IN THE DVD AND CHK IT OUT).

 * This Wikibook is a reference to the books, not the movies. If someone wants to create a Wikibook that is a reference to the movies, they are welcome to do so; but I personally doubt that there are any institutions teaching courses on the Potter movies, while there are quite a few teaching on the Potter books – check the Votes For Deletion page for details, the list of universities teaching the Potter books is listed as support for retaining the text. Additionally, while a portrait of Dumbledore may be in his private quarters, there is none in his office; the book quite clearly states that it first appears in the office after his death, and that in the portrait he appears to be asleep, as are all the other past headmasters. Could anyone truly believe that a wizard as well-known and widely respected as Dumbledore would have only one portrait? Chazz 19:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
