Did Albus Dumbledore die in the movie?

Answer 1

Yes. He is killed by Professor Snape at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Draco Malfoy was ordered to kill him by Lord Voldemort and tried twice throughout the book endangering two people (Katie Bell who touched the necklace which was meant to be delivered to Dumbledore and Ron Weasley who drank the poison wine which was supposed to be given to Dumbledore as a Christmas present). However Severus vowed to Narissia (Draco's mother) that he would do the task should Draco fail and because he was losing his nerve Snape stepped in and cast the curse. In Deathly Hallows we find out that it was a planned murder. Albus Dumbledore had told Severus to kill him so that the Elder Wand (which Dumbledore was the current master of) wouldn't belong to anybody, or so Voldemort would think when he stole it, however Draco was the true master of the wand When Voldemort discovered that the wand wasn't working properly he killed Snape.

Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him knowing he was going to die anyway because he put the Horcrux ring on his finger and sent a curse thoughout his hand - had it spread he would have died anyway thankfully Snape managed to freeze it.
