but it is sad,you have to admit 🙁

Spoiler:
but atleast there's the portrait!🙄 not as if they'll never speak again.

Portraits can only repeat what the real people would have said in life, like catchphrases.

Something sad. Dumbledore dies in the 6th book.

Ah, but we don't know that for sure. Look at those two in OotP, Dilys Derwent and someone else...they acted like their selves had been actually living inside the portriat istelf.

JKR herself told us that they could only repeat catchphrases. We do know for sure.

Even so, Dily Derwent acted like her normal self in OotP.

i dont know.............Snape

Where'd she say this, TS?

😐

Lol, I've read so many online chats..I'll try and find it, I definitely know she said it though.

Oooh that's what I was referring to when I mentioned portraits in another thread. It'd be hilarious to have Dumbledore saying "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" in portrait form 😂

😂 hell yeah
i can totally imagine 😂

is it just me or are people unusually silent about him dying..they caused a bigger uproar when sirius did 😖 and you'd think dumbldore dying would be a harder blow..

Hi! I'm new here! 😄

I want... Hermione to die!

And yet I see the portraits in the portraits in the Headmaster or Headmistresses room having minds of the own.

Hey, take your beef up with JK, I didn't say they couldn't have their own mind.

She might have meant portraits around the school. The headmaster and headmistress portraits are clearly different.

She meant any portait, it was very clear. I think she cited Mrs Black in her example, and it was in a response to a question regarding Sirius returning in the form of a portrait.

Then how come it seems that the headmaster and headmistress portraits have a mind of their own?

Like I said, take your beef up with JK, she may have made another mistake.

I believe on of them said something to McGonagal in HPB, saying her name. I am sure that wasn't a catchphrase to be able to say ones first name, and I don't think she was in school when he was headmaster either.

Well, I have no explanation, perhaps JK meant something different from what she said.
