I had a dream last night that some guy found a copy of Deathly Hallows before it was released and put some of the quotes on the Internet. A lot of them had to do with Minerva being the one to tell Harry of Albus's past because she was his WIFE. hehe Man, this board makes me have dreams... I just hope they come true.  |

Once, I had this nigtmare where I had a copy of DH and I was looking through the table of contents. I saw a chapter called "Dumbledore's Soulmate". I got really excited and flipped through the book trying to find the chapter. I looked all over the book for the chapter........but I couldn't find it. That what was a really scary nightmare. I woke up screaming.

Why was it a nightmare? (I mean, besides the obvious fact that you were looking for something that you couldn't find- that's a typically scary thing in dreams.)

I guess I think in my dream I thought I was crazy since I couldn't find the chapter and I was freaking out.

I've had dreams like that.
Dreams are very strange things, aren't they?

They are. But they can be the best thing ever too. *recalls dream where Orlando Bloom was husband*

Fawkes has always been owned by Dumbledore. JK will not answer a question about his role in the next book "which probably gives you a big clue." Fawkes is Dumbledore's possession, not a Hogwarts possession." (I wish Fawkes would heal Albus!!) Fawkes has always been a hugely important plot point, and I think he's going to be even bigger in DH. I read somewhere (I think it was on dumbledoreisnotdead.com or something) about theories concerning Dumbledore and Fawkes. There is a theory inspired by Nagini, I think, that Fawkes is Dumbledore's horcrux. (I love this theory...) There is all that stuff about having to kill and lose part of your soul to make a horcrux, but Dumbledore had to kill Grindelwald, so it's possible that he took that opportunity to make a horcrux. I cling to this possibility, even though JKR has said Dumbledore's not going to "pull a Gandalf" or something like that...I mean, isn't there something about Fawkes soaring into the sky after Dumbledore's funeral? Gah, I can't remember... But this could explain why she won't answer questions about Fawkes. *crosses fingers* I hate that Dumbledore's dead, because even if he's not married to/in a relationship with Minerva (*knocks on wood*) I still think she's in love with him, so it's like shreading apart my soul to think of how grief-stricken she is at the end of HBP. Ahhh, I'm rambling! >_< |

I think he's dead, a horcrux is interesting. But I'm not sure he'd do it at all. Because he could have just used the Philosopher's stone to be immortal if he'd wanted that. I firmly believe he is dead, and JKR has said so. So I'm not sure about the horcrux thing. And didn't fawkes fly into the fire and die anyway?
I agree though, the thought of them not bing together, her in love with him and him gone is about the worst possible situation.

I agree though, the thought of them not bing together, her in love with him and him gone is about the worst possible situation. No, I don't believe that Fawkes is dead. He sung at the funeral, I think, and then disappeared. When the white sepulchre was created, a white fire appeared, and different forms seemed to rise up out of the fire, and Harry thought he saw a white phoenix fly out of the fire. I think that Dumbledore would never have created a Horcrux. I think he believes they are horrible things; besides, he says that death is the next great adventure, and he'd led a long and productive life. I hate the thought of Albus being dead, and in my fics, he'll be alive and well. Fortunately, as he led a long life, there's a lot of scope for fanfiction, even if you don't want to ignore HBP. If Albus appears in the next book, it'll probably be through Pensieve memories, his portrait, others' memories of him, and that sort of thing. I don't think he's going to come back from the dead, much as I hate his death. |

I agree that Dumbledore would not create a horcrux. Not only because it means killing somebody. Maybe he did kill Grindelwald, we don't know (or do we?) Byt Slughorn said that the existence with a soul split is something so dreadful that dead would be better. I don't think that Dumbledore's soul was in any way incomplete.

I don't think Fawkes is gone either. He may become Harry's familiar, but I think, Fawkes' name being what it is, and the most obvious reference being to Guy Fawkes, that he's going to play a (forgive the pun) explosive part in the final battle.

I really want to see Minerva's reaction in book 7 about Dumbledore's death - mainly, her views on Snape. I mean, if Snape is good, I'd like Minerva to still hate him for what he did to Dumbledore. I think that would show in a subtle way that her feelings for Albus were a bit stronger than just friends or colleagues.

I'm a little worried that the JKR quote mentions that they have spouses particularly, not vaguely that some of them were married, or directly that they were married to each other. It really does seem to make it unlikely that Albus and Min were married, even though I keep my fingers tightly crossed.
As for the idea that they can't be married, because he doesn't tell her anything, I think that works in the opposite way. I think he purposely doesn't tell her anything to keep her from worrying to much and to keep her from putting herself in danger.

Interesting. I don't really think Fawkes is dead. I have a feeling that he will help Harry through all the trouble he's going to be going through. Even though it's hard to say, I think Dumbledore is dead and is not going to come back. That seems.. I can't really explain it.. too much I suppose. Too, ugh, I can't figure the word, but I hope some of you can understand.
As for Min and Albus, I would be very happy to find they had a relationship, and we can learn about it in DH.. but as so many have said, we have to wait for the book before we know. *wiggles impatiently*
I always wanted to know what JK thought of McGonagall. Does anyoen know if there is an interview or something that Jk talks about McGonagall?? I'd really appreciate it!!

The only thing I've really read JK saying about Minerva is that under her "gruff" exterior, she's really an "old softie."

I'm trying really hard to find where she said that. Meanwhile, for you entertainment, I found some interesting quotes: "Someday we may find out how Dumbledore got his scar shaped like the London Underground." lol Sorry, I digress, I know... & this: "JK won't tell us what Dumbledore would see in front of the Mirror of Erised, or what his boggart is, though we might be able to guess the boggart from clues in Book 6."  “Dumbledore's family would be a profitable line of inquiry.” "Fawkes has always been owned by Dumbledore. JK will not answer a question about his role in the next book "which probably gives you a big clue." Fawkes is Dumbledore's possession, not a Hogwarts possession." (I wish Fawkes would heal Albus!!) I'm trying to find it! Maybe when Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald they were battling in the London Underground and he got a scar under circumstances similar to Harry's. I seem to remember something JKR says in the quotes section of the HP Lexicon about Dumbledore being happier "not knowing" because he has a lot of knowledge that really weighs him down. I think if he looked in the Mirror of Erised he would see himself leading a simple life without the burden of holding the knowledge that keeps the wizarding world from falling apart. As for the boggart, it would either be himself being corrupted by the immense power and influence he has or seeing someone he cares about hurt. I think I saw something somewhere about phoenixes choosing their owners. |
