Lately, theres a little rumor spreading in the Harry Potter fandom, particularly about the real role of Albus Dumbledore.

Here's a quick summary before we get into the actual theory: In the "Harry Potter" series, it is explained that the Deathly Hallows are three powerful magical objects given to three brothers known as the Peverell brothers. The objects are as follows; the Elder Wand, which happens to be the most powerful wand in the entire wizarding world, given to the eldest brother who wanted power; the Resurrection Stone, which could summon the spirits of the dead and given to the middle brother who wanted to "cheat" death; and the Invisibility Cloak which makes the wearer invisible and given to the youngest brother who wanted to be unfollowed by Death. This brother eventually greeted Death as an "old friend" and walked into the afterlife by his side.

After reading the books by J.K. Rowling, or even seeing the films, the three Peverell brothers seem to mirror three characters: Voldemort, Snape, and Harry. Voldemort is attempting to become the most powerful wizard in the world; Snape has spent his entire lifetime reliving his memories with Lily Potter; and Harry is merely trying to survive everything thrown at him.

So now into the new theory, which is all about Dumbledore. What you've all been waiting for....Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, according to the Tumblr user harryjxamespotter, Dumbledore plays the most important role: Death.

At one point, Dumbledore had possession of all three Deathly Hallows, but not all at the same time. He had borrowed the Invisibility Cloak from James Potter at one time. He won the Elder Want from dueling its owner, Gellert Grindelwald, and therefore became the sole owner. And to try to bring back his sister, Ariana, he also sought out to the find the Resurrection Stone.

So as harryjxamespotter states, Dumbledore is Death because Harry walks towards him willingly as he would death in the final chapters of the "Deathly Hallows" book. And of course, he found Dumbledore at King's Cross Station.

Of course, now you have time to mull it over for a bit, as your brain is exploding. Voldemort, Snape, and Harry match up with the Peverell brothers. Dumbledore watches all three of these men throughout their lives and different adventures, he takes the role of Death himself. He's all powerful, all knowing; Death.

Now this information is a lot. I challenge you all to comment below with your thoughts on the theory! Personally, I think it makes a lot of sense. I would not put it past J.K. to plan this out because she is godly. But it could just be a coincidence? I THINK NOT. It's so real. But just to make sure, I am going to reread the books for the fifth time and watch the movies for the umpteenth time. With all this information, I will leave you to think and comment.
