Harry Potter 6

This weekend I finished the 6th book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I enjoyed this one as much as the others and can’t wait for the 7th book. I do have a theory about something that happened in this latest book and want to put it down in writing now, so I can look back in a couple years to see if I was correct.

WARNING: If you have come across this post and have not read the 6th book, then be warned! I’m about to discuss some spoilers that you will not want to hear.

With that said, I have a thought about the death of Albus Dumbledore. I’m not convinced that Professor Snape really killed Dumbledore. I am thinking that the whole situation was pre-planned by Dumbledore and Snape and here is why.

In the 6th book there was a lot of focus on the six years students learning how to cast spells without speaking. Snape proved that he was able to cast spells silently. So, maybe he is also able to say one spell, but think another and control which one really goes off. I know the spell’s effect was described to be the same as the Avada Kedavra curse, but was it really that spell? We also found out that Snape was the Half-Blood prince and invented a lot of new spells. So, I think Snape created a spell that looks like the Avada Kedavra, but really does something else to fake the death of the victim. Hence, the pre-planned faked death of Dumbledore to make Voldemort think one of this greatest enemies is dead.

Now, I could be totally off and Dumbledore is just dead. We will just have to wait and see.
