\nThere 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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

….You don’t think that Dumbledore and Alberforth switched places at the end….nah…<\/p>\n

Anyway, many people think thought Sirius might be back. For a long time I thought that when he “died” it probably didn’t really<\/em> die. I was sad to see that I was wrong about that, when JK Rowling stated Sirius was indeed dead<\/a>. I really liked that character.<\/p>\n

But does that mean we won’t see Sirius or Dumbledore (outside his frame, I mean) again?<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

Any thoughts on whether we’ll see either of them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
