world than such a role would imply.He is the only wizard whom Voldemort fears-one of the few unafraid to speak of the fallen wizard by name.He had been the first choice to lead the Ministry of Magic, but preferring to remain at Hogwarts, he plays a behind-the-scenes-role; advising Minister Cornelius Fudge.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Quite tall and thin, his hair and beard fall below his waist.He has

Surely he is powerful enough to find the Dark Lord and finish him for once and all?</div> <bR> <div> It is possible, even likely, that Dumbledore has a larger plan for the defeat of Voldemort.That design could very well call for a one-ON-one duel between himself and the Dark Lord, as a prelude[or post-lude] to a final conflict between Voldemort and Harry.</div> <bR> <div> In any case, he knows more secrets than he has divulged so far, and will reveal his intentions only on his own schedule.</div> <bR> <div> But our quest to read Dumbledore's mind, is pointless as we, like Harry, cannot see any farther beyond those half-mooned spectacles and that caring smile! </div> <bR> <div> ____________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> An adaption of "If Dumbledore is so powerful, shouldn't he fight Voldemort?" from 'The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter' by David Colbert.Editing, addition etc. of text done by <A HREF="mailto:y_tejas@rediffmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:y_tejas@rediffmail.com"><U>Webmaster</U></A>. </div> <div> Material Copyright:David Colbert</div> <bR> <div> ______________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> What more do you want on the OoP book?Tell us <A HREF="id35.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="OwlPost"><U>here</U></A>.</div> <div> We do not guarantee the occurrence of any event in the 5th book, these are mere assumptions.</div> <bR> <div>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
