Potter Potshot
Spoiler Alert: This article talks about an important incident in 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince'
So, like a good friend of mine pointed out, the first major demise in the Harry Potter saga has finally happened in the latest installment of this bestseller series. Dumbledore, the ol' geezer is accidently bumped off by Prof. Snape. The loyal fans are aghast while the rest of us are mildly amused. There are speculations abound on the intentions of the sinister looking Snape and indeed, of the author who, at this very moment, is plotting the next move in the epic.
But I say - Don't be too sure...Dumbledore might just come back in the next book...just like the wise wizard Gandalf...who seems to be the Rowling's inspiration for this character. Heck! it happens in our hindi soaps all the time! He may come back looking like Harrison Ford saying that he fell off his broomstick while flying over the himalayas and lost his memory...and most of his original face. He was rescued by the ascetics who restored his visage using the ancient art of plastic surgery. There he stayed with the ascetics and their pet Yetis learning the yogic approach to the defence against the dark arts...which involves stuffing exotic herbs into a long pipe, lighting it from one end and sucking it from the other. Then one day while practicing this art he fell off his tree branch and landed on his head and Voila! his memory came gushing back! So after another rather hasty round of plastic surgery, he hurries back to Hogwarts.
Perhaps the original Dumbledore was asking for a raise...so she coolly knocked him off for another cheaper dude. Far fetched you say! Oh ye of little faith! Our own Ekta Kapoor is a pro at it, maybe she's the one who convinced Rowling to do this. So can we expect the amazing lad to be called KHarry Potter from now on?

Words fail me...Dumbledore back from the dead a.k.a a Hindi movie hero !!! hmmmmmm....
Not a la hindi movie...this phenomenon is more prevalent in out K soaps...
couldnt care less...the novel was boring:-\ personally its time you moved up from reading kiddie stuff to some real fantasy fiction
Hmmm...I have only read 'The chamber of secrets' and that was years ago...and if you missed the point of what I wrote maybe its time you come out of fantasy fiction to the world where people understand humor...
