harry potter and the dead one
via julian sanchez, i see that the gamblin' types think that dumbledore will be the next character to bite it in the upcoming book harry potter and the half-blood prince. though the amount of bets on dumbledore supposedly stems from a leak in the town where the book's printing press is located, i still can't convince myself that it's true. isn't dumbledore too obvious of a choice to die?
in thinking about it since rowling confirmed a character would definitely be kicking the bucket, i've often thought that percy weasley, obnoxious older brother to ron and his clan, would be the goner. he's shown a tendency to get evil-er and evil-er as the books have gone on, and i can only imagine that he's going to pull an anakin at some point and will need to be killed off. or, or he's going to get a bit too drawn into the dark side, eventually have a crisis of conscience when ron or a member of his family is put at risk, and possibly sacrifice himself to save them.
either that or the owl. who the hell would miss it anyway?

Dumbledore dies only to return as a spectral for a la Ben Kenobi? That would rock.
Err, for = form
that is EXACTLY what i meant to add on to the post, except i forgot. i was gonna say if he dies, he's only going to like "die," and will still be around in some magical form to counsel harry. you think you can kill *dumbledore*? shit, blogga. no way.
Poor Hedwig :(
I assume Dumbledore will die, but not necessarily in Book 6. Isn't it the nature of the mentor to die? Dumbledore will no doubt have his own portraits hanging around. He could be a ghost, but Nearly Headless Nick has pretty much said this is the coward's way. Dumbledore is no coward. Of course, that's being a ghost through the Nick-filter. Who know's what the Bloody Baron or Fat Friar would have to say about it.
Anyway, maybe D will be the next DADA teacher. He'll actually make it through HBP, only to die at the end of Book 7, having kept the position warm for Harry. Or maybe he'll die at the end of HBP and Harry will be the first student ever to teach a subject at Hogwarts.
Ok, enough rambling. It's bedtime.

Great Site!
I've heard that dumbledore is in a painting in book 7.
