No... I've read the book numerous times...
He's in the Astronomy tower, hence the title, The Lightning Struck Tower, numerous times does JK state the death eaters climbing up the stairs... When Dumbledore gets hit by Avada Kedavra it says he goes over the battlements at the side of the castle... Harry - who was with Dumbledore jumps the last 10 stairs of the tower as he runs after Snape... I'm VERY sure Dumbledore gets killed in the Astronomy tower and falls out...
I did get the final scene of Deathly Hallows wrong though... I was reading so fast I thought it took place on the school grounds outside of the entrance, but it takes place in the Great Hall![]()
that is well hot! is it out this month or next?

just pulled the book out to check it - you are indeed correct lol
The main (there are a few things to be truthful) thing bad about the films is that they make Dumbledore surprised about the dark magic being used/turn of events. In the book, he has known exactly what is going on, he knew that there were horcruxes for years. E.g, when he tells Haryr he suspected the destroyed diary to be a horcrux, that reveals that for years before that even in his second year he suspected horcruxes. He is never surprised by anything that has happened, he has always been steps ahead, they discredit his intelligence majorly in the films. That is something I don't like. They make him too forceful. I like the way his hair is silvery white in this film since he looks way too young in 3/4/5 where they had that new actor. There is so much to say, but i do think that the trailer looks great and the film should be good.
I just hate the way dumbledore is made to look weaker and dumber than he really is by a long way. He is very omniscient in the books and is not in the films. And the fact that there is no war in hogwarts... it's what causes dumbledores death. It is very needed. Just as much as the DH war is.
EDIT: Dumbledore and harry fly back to hogwarts after seeing the dark mark over the astronomy tower. Dumbledore is weakened majorly by the potion protecting the horcrux in the cave 'by the sea' and gets disarmed by draco malfoy and killed by severus snape, gets lifted up and falls to the bottom of the tower. JK even says that people huddled around a body at the bottom of the 'lightning struck tower'

I just read in the guiness world of records Harry Potter ATPS made 98 million on its first opening weekend and the Harry Potter OOTP only made 77 million, if they want more money, then they should wise up and sstart following the "real" storyline, not the friggen burrow getting burnt down
OOTP was so far out from the book's story, haha. It left out so much and changed quite a bit too - like the bit where Cho tells Umbridge about the DA when it was actually Cho's friend.I just read in the guiness world of records Harry Potter ATPS made 98 million on its first opening weekend and the Harry Potter OOTP only made 77 million, if they want more money, then they should wise up and sstart following the "real" storyline, not the friggen burrow getting burnt down
