Dumbledore is dead. Udah tau!

Dalam acara "An Evening with Harry, Carrie, and Garp," ada acara baca buku. JKR, Stephen King, sama satu lagi .. duh lupa.

Pokoknya, pada acara tanya jawab, ada Salman Rushdie (Satanic Verses! Dia baca Harry Potter!). Pertanyaannya:

Rushdie: It has always been made plain that Snape might be an unlikable fellow, but he was essentially one of the good guys.(Massive cheering) Dumbledore himself has always vouched for him. Now(unintelligible) Snape is a villain and Dumbledore's killed. We cannot, or don't, want to believe this. (Cheering and laughter). Our theory is that Snape is in fact still a good guy. We propose that Dumbledore can't really be dead. That this in fact is a ruse, cooked up between Dumbledore and Snape to put Voldemort off his guard. Harry then will have more friends than he knows when he and Voldemort do face. So, is Snape good or bad? (Massive cheering). It's plain to see, everything follows from this. (Cheering)

Jo: Your opinion, I would say, is right. However, I see I am going to have to be more explicit and say Dumbledore is definitely dead.
