There are just a few days before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is released, and I’ve been thinking… Have we seen the last of Dumbledore and Sirius?
I would say that in Dumbledore’s case, we almost certainly haven’t. He does have a picture in his office after all. We’re sure to hear some advice from that. We might even see more of him in a different context if Alberforth turns out to be as important to the last book as we think.
….You don’t think that Dumbledore and Alberforth switched places at the end….nah…
Anyway, many people think thought Sirius might be back. For a long time I thought that when he “died” it probably didn’t really die. I was sad to see that I was wrong about that, when JK Rowling stated Sirius was indeed dead. I really liked that character.
But does that mean we won’t see Sirius or Dumbledore (outside his frame, I mean) again?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see one or both of them show up as ghosts in the final book. Whether that will be a ghost ala “Nearly Headless Nick” or a ghost as appeared out of Voldemort’s wand (yes, I know it wasn’t Voldemort that killed him… I meant a ghostly form in that same sense).
Any thoughts on whether we’ll see either of them?
Hadn’t really given it much thought, but I think it’s much more likely that we’ll see Dumbledore (he’s not dead, dammit!) than Sirius. I really grew to like Sirius, too, but I don’t think we’ll see him anymore…I think he would have shown up in Half Blood Prince otherwise…or there would have been some hint about it.
