One Dore closes another Dore opens

In the Brisbane Courier Mail, 14 April 2007, there is an interview with 
Daniel Radcliffe. He quotes a conversation with JKR. 

Dan: Oh, hello, why are you here today?
JKR: ... Dumbledore's giving me a lot of trouble.
Dan: But isn't he dead?
JKR: Well, yeah, but it's a lot more complex...

So DD is in a portrait but JKR can't quite decide how alive he is. We 
don't get consistency in post-life with the portraits, ghosts and 
Peeves who appears to be a ghost but is mistakenly called a 
poltergeist. So I think all seven HP books should be seen as works in 
progress. In a few years time, JKR will revise them with their whole in 
mind.
