All right, then, I'll speak up here. Dumbledore *won't* die, at least
not before Voldemort's defeat.  Nope, things won't be going his way,
Harry won't follow his program, and he may be literally or
figuratively powerless, but he'll be alive and struggling at least
into the epilogue.

The mentor dying during The Hero's Journey is a rule, but JKR's not
following the rules...
