'It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now.'īased on what we know of Dumbledore's tremendous power, a weakened, wandless, dying Albus Dumbledore is still more magically powerful than an armed, 16 year old Draco Malfoy. 'They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here. 'But I got this far, didn't I?' he said slowly. The most chilling part of the dialogue between Draco and Dumbledore comes right at its climax, after the "ways and means" have been discussed, and just prior to the break-in of the Death Eaters:
The heart of this essay is a consideration of one simple question: Why couldn't Draco kill Dumbledore? Or maybe better, Why didn't he even attempt to? One of the most fascinating aspects in my mind is the dialogue between Draco and Dumbledore. Pen, pencil, Copic markers and Photoshop.The scene that unfolds upon the Astronomy Tower is one of the most intense and tremendously written passages of the Harry Potter novels thus far.
I don’t want to believe Snape’s an idiot. The longer he waits the less control over the situation Snape has. Even if he couldn’t come up with a way to kill him and get away scott-free (of which there are many), (he ended up on the run in the end anyway), on the run is better then dead. It’s illogical, ill-advised, and just plain un-Slytherin to wait that long. Snape has motive, opportunity and the know-how to kill Dumbledore multiple times, in multiple different ways long before Snape’s own life could be jeopardised. What’s a bug me is why would Snape wait to the last possible opportunity to kill Dumbledore before the vow clicks in and kills him? You’d think it would be pretty straight forward. I’ve had to justify my belief that while Snape killed Dumbledore, Dumbledore was in on it a lot but no one ever seems to ask people to prove that Snape is evil. For 's Contest 29- "Snape kills Dumbledore".
