Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

Jimmy the Squid:
I reckon Dumbledore is dead. However I don't think Snape used the Adava Kedavra to do it. He said the words and the green magic flew out of his wand but Dumbledore went flying over the parapet whereas everyone else in the series who has ever been hit with that curse doesn't fly anywhere, they just drop. I think Snape used a different curse so that he wouldn't go down for using an Unforgivable Curse. Dumbledore was pretty weak at that stage and an Expelliarmus would have probably finished him off as well. Doesn't change much of the storyline though but I've wanting to put forward that theory for a little over a year.

ThePQ4:
I concur with Linds. People who are dead tend to stay dead --with the exception of Wormtail (as I believe has been mentioned), when it comes to Rowling.

However, I don't want to think that they'll be closing the school. Harry being a teacher is a ludicris idea, but I think that they are going to strive to keep the school open, and if not open as a -school-, I think it is still going to play a major location. You can't just...not have the central location of six previous books, you know? So, while they may not be educating there, I think that Hogwarts will still be a safe haven.

Ack, I just want this damn book to come out so we can stop tossing around these ideas. It's very frustrating to know that out there, there are people who already know what happens...cruel bastards.

Edit: To what Jimmy said, yeeeeah... I dunno about that. Maybe a different curse, but certaintly not Expelliamus. It's not powerful enough to kill someone. It just knocks their wand from their hand, nothing more. We need a dictionary of spells. THen we could have a proper argument about what else he could have used, I think.

Jimmy the Squid:
I'm not making any assumptions as to what curse he did use, Im just saying that Dumbledore was pretty much fucked anyway and Snape needed something flashy but not actually Unforgivable. Besdies, the disarming spell is red. Everyone knows that.

Also, if my theory proves correct then I also postulate that Snape did it because, for liablity reasons, it would have been the fall that killed Dumbledore, not the curse...

ThePQ4:
...Dude, they're wizards. I don't think they care much about liabilities and such. That's kind of a muggle thing. Either way, the "fall" was caused by the curse/jinx/hex/spell/whatever you want to say he did in place of the Unforgivable, so -either way-, Severus is at fault... Unless, I miss understand something? And why are we all focusing on Dumbledore dying? He's dead, get over it. I don't think why, or how he died is going to play much of a part, except as to whether or not Severus is still "good' or "bad", which (I hope) is cleared up very early in the book.

TheFuriousWombat:
An unrelated prediction: Ron and Hermione are definitely going to end up together. It's set up too perfectly not to happen. It's the perfect cliche and frankly I don't see Rowling being a good enough writer to avoid it at this point. (Don't get me wrong, I love the HP series. The books are very entertaining. But literary brilliance they are not).
