How does Professor Snape die in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

It is unknown if Kreacher dies, but he does fight in the Final Battle.


Why did Snape have to use Avada Kedavra to kill Dumbledore?

He needed to make sure that Dumbledore was dead, because Dumbledore, was a very powerful wizard. Avada Kedavra is the quickest and less painful way. Snape didn't want Dumbledore to die painfully because he was, after all, on the same side.


What spell did Albus Dumbledore use in the cave?

Severus Snape killed him with the Avada Kedavra spell.


How did Draco Malfoy die in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Although Voldemort obtained the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, he was unable to use it properly. Believing that the only way to wield the Elder Wand was to kill its master, he ordered Nagini to kill Snape, whom he assumed to be that master. Fatally injured, Snape gave up his silvery memories to Harry, who had been concealed nearby. The memories revealed, through the Pensieve, that Snape was motivated by his lifelong love for Lily Evans (Harry Potter's mother), and loyalty to Dumbledore ever since Voldemort had decided to go after the Potters. After Voldemort ordered Nagini to kill Severus, Snape's last request to Harry was simply: "Look at me", because he wanted the last thing he saw before he died to be Lily Evans's eyes. This proves that Snape loved Lily until the very end, seeing as how Harry 'looked so much like James, but had Lily's eyes'. During the final duel between Harry and Voldemort, Harry revealed to Voldemort that Snape had been, in fact, Dumbledore's man. Harry also revealed that Snape was never the true master of the Elder Wand, because Snape never defeated Dumbledore; the two had arranged his death. Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore (who was the master of Elder Wand) before Snape killed him. Therefore, Draco was the true master of the Elder Wand, not Severus Snape. However, Harry had overpowered Draco at Malfoy Manor, so in actuality, Harry was master of the Wand. Snape's true loyalties remained hidden due to his skills as an Occlumens and the fact his actions were motivated by love, which Voldemort neither understood nor cared about. Albus Severus Potter, the second son of Harry, and the only one of Harry's children to have inherited Lily's eyes, is named after Snape. When Albus was worried that he may be sorted into Slytherin, Harry responded that Albus was named after two headmasters, one of whom was a Slytherin and who was "probably the bravest man I ever knew."Voldemort's snake, Nagini, killed Snape on Voldemort's orders. Voldemort thought if he killed Snape, the Elder Wand would be his. But it never was. Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore. Therefore, the wand was his. But Harry Potter overpowered Malfoy making the wand his.

How did albus dumboldore die in book 6 in the Harry Potter series?

Albus Dumbledore was killed on top of the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts by Severus Snape. Snape cast a killing curse, causing Dumbledore to fall from the tower. Draco Malfoy was the person originally chosen by Voldemort to kill Dumbledore. Voldemort was furious because Lucius Malfoy failed to acquire the Prophecy from the Ministry of Magic. This was detailed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. To get his revenge on Lucius, Voldemort chose his son to kill Dumbledore, knowing the boy would surely fail and probably be killed himself. The loss of his only child would have been a terrible blow to Lucius. However, Draco was unable to kill. He wasn't a nice person but he was no killer. Dumbledore sensed this and was able to talk Draco into lowering his wand. He tried to persuade Draco to "come over the right side." For a second, it seemed that Draco would do so, but Severus Snape and several Death Eaters arrived. During the ensuing battle between Harry and several members of Dumbledore's Army, Snape killed Dumbledore. Afterward, he fled Hogwarts, taking Draco with him. They did not reappear again until Half Blood Prince. What we didn't know is that Dumbledore was already dying. He had put on a cursed ring, one of the Horcruxes (explained in the beginning of Half Blood Prince). It caused his hand to wither and spread a poison throughout his system that would slowly kill him over the next year. Snape was able to provide antidotes that would lessen the pain, but Dumbledore knew he had little time left. Snape, who was a "double spy", working for Dumbledore and Voldemort both, reluctantly agreed to use the killing curse when the time came.


Why was dumbledore cursed?

Where is Dumbledore in LEGO Harry Potter?

First get a dark magic character (Voldemort, Snape, Tom Riddle, Malfoy etc.) Then go to Hogwarts and go to the room you start with when you first open Lego Harry Potter. Go to the the right and you find a door, go there it will lead you to the stairs. Go all the way up (You'll need to be advanced and have the bomb spell). You'll see bird on the second floor to the top (right under that dog). Levitate the bird. It leads you to Dumbledore's office. Go to the back of the room (bottom level) and use the dark magic on it. Dumbledore should come out.

Can you have a summary of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

Horace Slughorn comes to Hogwarts to be the Potions teacher, and Snape becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Dumbledore shows Harry several memories of Voldemort's past. Harry receives a potions book with many helpful hints that allows him to excel at potions, and use many spells. The book once belongd to someone nicknamed "The Half-Blood Prince" Harry learns from his sessions with Dumbledore that Voldemort has created 7 horcruxes, an evil object that conceals part of his soul so that he may be immortal. Harry and Ginny start dating. Harry suspects Draco Malfoy is plotting something, and is proven correct at the end when Malfoy opens a passage to allow death eaters into the castle. Harry goes with Dumbledore to a cave where Dumbledore believes a Horcrux is hidden. Dumbledore drinks a potion that causes him great pain, and they are attacked by inferi, but escape. Snape kills Dumbledore. Harry breaks up with Ginny; Harry, Ron, and Hermione all agree to drop out of Hogwarts to search for Horcruxes and destroy them.


How can we use Dumbledore 's wise saying and apply it to our lives?

Albus Dumbledore is a very famous and intelligent wizard in the Harry POtter series. As you know Dumbledore guided Harrythrough the end of year attacks with Lord Voldermort. Dumbledore used very wise words and we can use them by thinking of what he says in our own tough situations.


Was the resurrection stone apart of the ring that Dumbledore wore and was this the Gaunt ring and if so why did he put the stone in the Snitch?

The resurrection stone was hidden inside Marvolo Gaunt's ring which, without knowing about the stone, Voldemort turned into a Horcrux. Dumbledore put the ring on his finger, desperate to use the stone, and didn't consider that the Horcrux would curse him. Had he not gotten to Severus Snape in time he would have died. Snape managed to trap the curse in his hand but he would only survive another year. This allowed Dumbledore time to make plans for what would happen after his death. He arranged for Severus to kill him and sorted out his will leaving Harry, Ron and Hermione the things they would need to complete their mission. Dumbledore already knew that Harry was a Horcrux and would have to die to defeat Voldemort. So, he hid the ressurection stone inside the first snitch he ever caught and charmed it so that it would open when Harry said he was going to die, allowing him time with his parents, Sirius and (although Dumbledore wouldn't have known) Remus.
