Dumbledore is Not Dead

For the devoted readers of the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore's death at the end of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (volume 6 in the series) was one of the saddest and most jarring events of the whole series. I, along with many others, entered into prolonged debate about whether Dumbledore was actually dead, or as in the Princess Bride, "mostly dead." Or whether some sort of resurrection was in store.

Well, have no fear. This website, www.dumbeldoreisnotdead.com is dedicated to just such debate, and I think the conclusions are satisfying to this reader.

If nothing else, this site should help keep the debate going until the release of the last Harry Potter book in the series, whenever that is. But then, what will there be to look forward to? No more Lord of the Rings. No more Harry Potter. Perhaps the Narnia series will all become big screen hits. That's something to anticipate eagerly.
