Now I see Jesus on the cross and DD on the tower, and it breaks my heart twice as much. DD is under the skull, that it the place where Jesus died. John Granger does a nice job of suming up a lot of the rest of it, with the cave and rest. He has a website. 

Carol responds:

I haven't read the books and don't have time to go to the website, so I just want to ask a quick question. Is Granger presenting *Dumbledore* as a Christ figure? Harry I can see in that role, but Dumbledore?

Carol,who no longer finds DD's death distressing after reading DH
