I was sad...STILL AM...when i finished reading the Harry Potter HBP just few days ago. At first i couldn't -or rather wouldn't- believe that he's actually dead..who in their right mind would've thot it possible????????

Yeah...Proffesor Dumbledore.... the BEST headmaster Hogwarts had ever known... As pointed out by Hagrid "No headmaster or headmistress ever gave more to this school"...

The greatest wizard ever live...who would've thot that he'd die in the hands of someone he trusted with all his live....*sigh* sad sooo sad.....

He's a very well-known man in the the wizarding community, and even Muggles could sense what a powerful man he's whenever he's in their presence.And yet...he perished in his mission to destroy the Darkest Wizard ever live. And EVEN when he was just a minute away from death, he was still doing noble things, saving a young boy-Harry-from peril.A noble man, yes he is...

Proffesor Dumbledore is a man of Wisdom; always there to give encouragement to Harry especially in his time of grievance; I still remember him telling Harry in one of the book...when Harry was confounded with something: "It is our choices Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"...His words; coupled with the devotion and affection he showed Harry; had always managed to blow away Harry's pain and grievance.

Jo Rowling's younger sister in her opinion about Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, says she feels that he sometimes lacks compassion for his charges...

Truthfully, NEVER did it cross my mind that Prof. Dumbledore lacks compassion. He was a bit detached-yes-but never lack of compassion. He was always there for Harry even when Harry didn't realize it. He believed in Harry when no one would; the faith Dumbledore showed Harry is very emotive to the readers. And I believe many of us love Dumbledore for that....

As an old man, I believe that Prof. Dumbledore had had it’s own share of loneliness. I was so moved when i read this part of the book, where Dumbledore was touched by a simple loyalty Harry showed him..The plot goes something like this..

Harry: He accused me of being Dumbledore's man through and through
Dumbledore: How very rude of him :)
Harry: I told him I was......

Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again. Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry. To Harry's intense embarassment, he suddenly realised that Dumbledore's bright blue eyes looked rather watery....

Ain't that touching??I mean, for a man to be moved by a plain and simply fidelity showed by one of his charges, he's got to be soooo lonely and desolate...dun u think???Btw, this is one of the part of the book that made me feel more attached to him...

I’m not sure bout u guys, but i did wonder about his life outside Hogwarts. Wasn't there anyone whom he can call family, who cares bout him enuff to spend some wonderful time with him?? But then, i realized…Hogwarts IS his LIFE and the inhabitants ARE his FAMILY. He's at his HAPPIEST when he knows that his charges are safe and sound in his care..when he knows that they are happy. Dumbledore put all his love and care into making Hogwarts a haven for it's community, that i daresay Hogwarts won't be the same without him. After all, Hagrid did say painfully..." But....i dunno...Hogwarts without Dumbledore...:-("

We’d all seen how far he would go to protect Hogwarts and his students from any harm..to the extent that he’d sacrificed his life just to be sure that his charges are out of harm's way. He rushed to their aid when he saw the dark mark hovering in the air at Hogwarts, eventho he himself was very weak at that time. Weak to the point that he couldn't even walked the short distance from Hogsmeade to the school. And if THAT doesn't move u to tears..i dunno what would...

Those who know him (eventho only in books) will definitely grief over the loss.....but life has to go on. And even if we're not happy with his death, we'd still read the 7th book (I'm 100% sure of that)....But we do hope that Dumbledore will make a comeback in the following book, even if it has to be in a form of spirit. Coz without him, the world of magic will never be as secured and entertaining as it used to be...

Lastly.....

"Nitwit, oddment, blubber and tweak"...

Tuck in!!Mwacckkss!!
