I've been reading the book 5 and 6 for like the fourth time...and something just past through my mind.....don't u guys remember the conversation harry had with Nearly Headless Nick, after Sirius died....
Nick told Harry that sometimes wizard let a imprints of themselves behind, on earth...because they had to stay..i thing because of the fact that they didn't accomplish somethink they had to finish (i'm i right??)....
So don't u think that maybe Dumbledore task was to prepare Harry to fight Voldemort, and find the remaining horcruxes???
So i don't know what u guys think of my theorie!!!! Question Question Question Embarassed

I don't know why but i feel like dumbledore is going to come back as a ghost or something.....he was such a powerful wizard! He wouldn't just let himself die without planning something! Confused

It's no Gandalf thing...
JKR told in an interview that sirius is dead and he wont be coming back ... but for dumbledore's case, she said he was really dead and they we're no chances that he's alive... but if he's coming back as a ghost it isn't considered as being alive no?? Question

I wouldn't want to live for all eternity as a ghost. I don't really understand why people would choose to come back as one.

Is there any other way that Dumbledore could leave his imprint, besides a ghost?

When harry goes to DD's office with McGonagall, after DD has fallen from the tower; there's a painting of DD on the wall. It was asleep at that time, but it has to wake up someday, doesn't it?

And about DD not pulling a Gandalf; Gandalf was dead and came to life, maybe DD just isn't dead...

But didn't she also say he was definitely dead?

Edit: "You shouldn't expect Dumbledore to pull a Gandalf. I need to be more explicit: Dumbledore is definitely dead. I know there's an entire site out there called DumbledoreIsNotDead.com, and I'm sorry they're not going to like this answer." - JKR

I just read on the Leaky Cauldron site that Dumbledore's triumphant gleam in his eye in book 4 , will play a very significant part in book 7. I can't wait to see what that is. Oh I am so stoked!

Nick says that becoming a ghost is an option for people afraid of death.
Dumbledore is definitely not afraid of death, so chances are, he won't be a ghost.

yeah, but wasn't the imprint some fear to death?
I don't think that DD would be afraid of death... I'd rather think that he would embrace it... or some poetic stuff like taht...

That was why Nick didn't pass on. He also said the souls don't pass on, when there is unfinished business left on earth.

I don't think DD will come back..JKR herself told that DD was definitely dead.. I think his portrait will be there in the Headmaster's office and he will communicate with Harry thru that..( If Hogwart reopens)...

Dumbledore would have more than just one picture of himself, though...

Hey, I was just thinking...

Some of the portraits in Dumbledore's office have another portrait somewhere else in the Wizard World. So where would Dumbledore's be?

So, that means that Harry wouldn't have to go back to Hogwarts to speak with DD.
