Harry Potter Book Discussion - SPOILERS POSSILBE

[dstar]

On the topic of who is/are/what is R.A.B

As we are told in the book, Sirius had a brother who worked for Voldemort but was killed for betraying him. His name if i care to remember began with an R but i cant quite find his name in the book on reskimming so I will leave you to find that out. Sirius' surname was Black, as was his brother. So I have come to the conclusion that R.A.B is infact Sirius' Brother.

Ponder on that thought.

I would also like to add that it was rather easy to spot that Dumbledore was going to die in this book, even if you didnt have thoughts of it prior to reading the book because very early in the book you realise that there is a plot to kill someone that "The Dark Lord hasnt been able to kill" (to quote Malfoy's mother) This leaves 2 people, Dumbledore and HP but of course Potter can't die because there are 2 books left with his name on therefore that left Dumbledore (not rocket science)

Welcome to the Cellar, dstar.

plot to kill someone that "The Dark Lord hasnt been able to kill

True but it could have been someone we hadn't even met yet. This is quite often done in movies and books directed at young people to "soften" the blow of death.
