few Qs about HP 7 !!! "spoiler alert"?

Question

1. Did Dumbledore actually become the Master of Death ??
Is this why they were talking in The Deathly Hallows ...after Harry "died"??

2. on page 715, Harry said Dumblefore 'd given uplooking for the Hallows when he saw the Cloak ...
Why had he given up..??
I know that later Dumbledore said he should not possess things with power...
But why did Harry come to this conclusion before Dumbledore explained?

3. Was the Resurrection Stone on the ring that became a Horcrux or what?

Didnt Dumbledore find both things at Guant's hut ?
If so, how did Dumbledore crack the ring without destroying the stone ?

4. Another question about the Snitch... How did Harry realize what to say to open it when he was on the way to the Forest?

Answer 1

I"m not sure about everything cuz it's been a while since I read it myself, but I'll do my best:
1. I don't think Dumbledore became the master of death, because he decided to stop carrying on with the Deathly Hallows. I don't know what you mean by talkin "in" the Deathly Hallows, but Dumbledore was able to talk to Harry because had entered the realm of death persay, but he was able to choose to go back because Voldemort had used Harry's blood to come back.
2. Dumbledore gave up looking for the Hallows after him and Grindelwald had gotten into it, because Dumbledore realized the error of his ways, and that their ideas were not good.
3. Yes, the Resurrection Stone was the stone on the ring. Voldemort did not realize that the stone was the Resurrection Stone when he made the Horcrux. I think Dumbledore was able to crack the ring without destroying the stone because it was a Deathly Hallow, and it couldn't be destroyed.
4. Harry remembered that the Snith said "I open at the close" and Harry realized when he was walking to the Forest to sacrifice himself that this was indeed "the close". Hope I helped some!

Answer 2

1. idk
2.he gave up looking for them because i think he felt everythink was safe he searched for them a long time ago when it seemed like nothing bad was going on he didnt need it anymore what was he going to do with them
3.no i think the stone was one of the deathly hallows
4.it said in the book the snitch remembers everyone who holds it like it keeps the dna and never comes off harry if i remember almost swollowed it in the first book

Answer 3

1. No. To have become the Master of Death Dumbledore would have had to have all three Hallows in his possession at once. For the most part he only ever had one Hallow in his possession, the Elder wand which he used as his wand until he died. He managed to get possession of the Elder wand by defeating Grindelwald in '45.

However, twice he had two of the Hallows in his possession. The first time was when he borrowed James's invisibility cloak. He had it and the Elder wand in his possession for about ten years until he gave it to it's rightful owner. Remember, Harry recieved the cloak for Christmas when he was eleven. And the second time Dumbledore had two of the Hallows at once was after he retreieved Marvolo's ring. The resurrection stone was set in the ring.

Harry also can claim to have had two Hallows in his possession at two seperate times. He already had his father's invisibility cloak, which Dumbledore had annonimously given to him for Christmas of his first year. In Dumbledore's will, he got possession of the first snitch he ever caught in a Quidditch match. That snitch was hiding the ressurrection stone inside. So the moment Scrimegore gave him the snitch Harry had two of the Hallows in his possession. But he didn't actually touch the stone until he went to face Voldemort in the forest, and in facing Voldemort he lost the stone. Possibly forever. the second time he came into possession of two Hallows was after he defeated Voldemort and took the Elder wand. He was already it's master at that time, but snatching it from the air was the point at which he first had it in his possession. In both cases he still had the invisibility cloak as well.

As for why they were able to talk, I see King's Cross as more than just a point where muggles and wizards go to catch a train. It's also the one point where those who have passed over to the spirit realm and those near dead can meet and talk. Voldemort had killed Harry, or at least dealt him a mortal wound. But he wasn't dead yet, not fully. He had to give up his body to fully die, then he had to choose to cross over or else he would have become a ghost. Dumbledore did tell Harry he had a choice, he could return to life and face Voldemort one last time or he could "board a train." In otherwords, he could choose to truely die and pass over into the spirit realm.

2. Remember what was said about the Hallows. Of the three the Elder wand was the only one which could be traced down through the ages. It was the only one that could be confirmed to exsist. Finding the other two, if the even exsisted, was not going to be easy because there was no bloody history tied to them. They were simply passed down from one family member to another and one had to be able to trace the Peverell family tree. Unfortunately, the Peverell name was lost to time when at some point no more sons were born. That is to say that at some point daughters were the only ones to pass on the bloodline but not the family name.

Harry managed to come to the conclussion that Dumbledore should not have such powerful items from what he'd learned in his hunt for the horcruxes. Though he didn't want to believe Skeeter, it was both what he learned from Aberforth and what he was learning from Dumbledore himself that told Harry the truth.

3. The resurrection stone was the setting in Marvolo's ring, and it was what was cracked. Not the ring itself. In the first memory Dumbledore showed Harry in "Half-Blood Prince" Marvolo shows of the ring as proof he was related to the Peverell. It was the stone he wanted the man from the ministry to look at. When Harry saw the ring, the stone was already cracked.

4. Harry figured out the riddle of the snitch. You have to remember what the riddle was. "I open at the close." What Dumbledore, who had sealed the resurrection stone inside the snitch and then left the riddle on it, had meant was that the snitch would only open when it knew Harry's life was about to come to a close. If I recall correctly, Hermione had said in the first book that most witches and wizards lacked logic. Snape's potion challenge guarding the Philosipher's Stone was exactly what most witches and wizards did not have. And Dumbledore's riddle on the snitch was the same for Harry.

Once Harry learned that he had to die in order to defeat Voldemort, if he had even the slightest ounce of logic in him then he had to mull over the riddle in light of what had to happen. He came to realize that the riddle meant that the snitch could only be opened when he was about to die. And he couldn't pretend he was giving himself up to get it to open, he had to mean it.

Answer 4

1.No because when he found the ring he didn't have the cloak, in addition to that he got wounded and he knew that he would die and accepted that.
2.Because he knows him too well.
3.They are one the same, and I guess it's because he didn't break the whole ring/stone.
4.The idea simply popped into his mind!
