Somehow I doubt that.  Dumbledore is central to helping Harry 
understand what his destiny is.  If the character does die, I suspect 
it would be toward the end of the final book, once Harry has 
completed his training as a wizard and learned the responsibilities 
of being a GOOD wizard.  

Just because Mr. Harris has passed on, doesn't mean the end of the 
character.  They have yet to film the next two books, and remember, 
Dumbledore plays important roles in both, especially Goblet of Fire.  
They're not going to make such a major change in the films just 
because the man who played him has died.  They'll simply recast the 
role -- a tough thing to do, I grant you.  But they have no choice.

I like the idea of either Peter O'Toole or Derek Jacobi playing 
Dumbledore, although I think Mr. O'Toole would be the better choice.
