Geez I was gone for one day and this topic exploded!

[Blaw]

Yea it has. What do you think about the past topics? Dumbledore and Snape. Book 7 release.

[Mexican Coke]

Please, Blaw! We need another topic! Someone think about a topic for TODAY!

[hansosjesusstick]

Alright how bout either Hagrid for a topic cuz he's freaking awesome or what do you think will happen in the book or did we already discuss that

[Blaw]

Topic 5: What was happening to Dumbledore when he was drinking the green potion in the basin during the end of book 6.


sorry hanso i didn't see your post, i was doing a little research for this topic.

[Mexican Coke]

I love Hagrid. Maybe he'll give us more of what happened in those missing 24 hours after Harry's parents were murdered. He's great at giving secrets.

ohhh yeah " Well she falls asleep to music....Ooops shouldn't have told ya that shouldn't have told ya"

OO! Good one Blaw! I think it was like a Dementor's potion or something. It was making him see his worst fears. They mentioned this on Pottercast. That he could have been having a premonition of some kind where the Death Eaters infiltrating Hogwarts and causing chaos within the shool. Dumbledore was more worried about the kids being safe, but obvioulsy, Hogwarts is not safe anymore. The wizarding word is running out of safe places!

Green Gots not safe Ministry of Magic also not safe Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry not anymore baby.... i say dumbeldore's gonna pull and obie wan kenobie from episode 4 u know when he's a ghost and he's always with luke well dumbeldore will be with harry

Thanks Dragavan for the insight on the audiobooks!

moderatormatt- I kind of thought the same, either like a dementor type potion or a boggart type potion.

Dementor Potion- Dumbledore made a grave mistake that's been haunting him for a long time, maybe it's something that made DD kick off and start going after Voldemort in the first place. The Dementor potion made the grave mistake seem 100 times worse than it originally was.

Boggart Potion- I'd base this one on what you said moderatormatt. Dumbledore's #1 concern was that the students at Hogwarts would always be safe and the Boggart maybe showed them being killed or hurt because of an error/misjudgement Dumbledore made, and maybe like you said, it showed a premonition of the Death Eaters getting in and harming everyone in the school.

Didn't Dumbledore say in Book 1 "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure" ? Nearly Headless Nick said that people generally become ghosts because they are scared of the other choice, Nick called it cowerdice... I don't think he'll come back as a ghost...

[Mexican Coke]

I don't think Headmasters come back as posts, just immortilized in portraits. Besides, Dumbledore was looking forward to death, as that quote illustrates.

I didn't think about that...a boggart potion...what if he was remembering his experiences when he was in the 1st Order? Dunno. But it sounds more likely that it would be the students he is more worried about.

[Blaw]

I think it has something to do with Grindelwald. JKR said we are going to be learning more about Dumbledore.

I think the potion made him re-live his worse fear/memory.

[Tucker]

if we are going to be learning more about dumbldore, dya rekon JKR will tell us wot dumbledores boggart would look like ? thats sumthing i really want to know

[thenumb3rs]

In the sweet interview between Mugglenet/Leaky Cauldron and Jo, the same question was asked
ES: What would Dumbledore's Boggart be?

JKR: I can't answer that either, but for theories you should read 6 again. There you go.

Maybe Jo's refering to the potion in the cave?

Whoa.. "experiances from the 1st order", Matt, that'd make sense too. 'Cause in book 5 I think I remember someone saying how unprepared the Order was then and how they were being picked off like flies...Could be, could be.
