Hi, I've read all the transcripts and watched the video of the said
Reading and I've also read all the posts regarding this topic. I
have a theory of my own which I can't quite formulate as English is
not my mother tongue. But with all this questions whether Dumbledore
is dead or not, I remember that in one of JKR's interviews she
mentioned that what we should know is when and how DD died. I think
her answer didn't create much talks because everybody just assumed
they already know how and when DD died after reading the HBP. I do
not know if any of you read or remember that interview. I don't know
when it was but it was in one of the reading she'd been doing right
after the HBP. I will try look and read again all her interviews
from last year maybe I will find it.

Another thing, in the Radio city reading a child asked her if "we
have a chance to see DD in action once again since he is the most
powerful wizard of all time and Harry Potter is so loyal to him how
could he really be dead?" Her answer on this question is this "I
really can't answer that question because the answers are in book
7, but you shouldn't expect Dumbledore to do a Gandalf." What do you
think of her answer because to me her answer comes like we are still
going to see DD in book 7 even when he is already dead (maybe guiding
Harry) yet not in the way Ghandalf died and rose in the LOTR. The
one thing I would really like to know is when and how DD died (if I
remember JKR's words correctly). Any thought?
I'm off to search  all JKR's interviews from last year. Thanks.

maria8162001, who thinks DD time travel or time turned from the
future to change some events that might have lead to a disastrous
future/fight against LV, and one of the events that need changing is
that he needs to die in the past, one reason also why DD knows so
much about Harry outside Hogwarts, seconds or minutes after they
happen. ala DragonBallZ with trunks :-).
