...guess: Dumbledore has taken a major hit, no question. But look at the precedents. Aslan died and came back in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Gandalf snuffed it in The Fellowship of the Ring, and he was up and about in no time. We'll meet again, Albus...
...DIED. CHRISTOPHER FRY, 97, wry British playwright of the 1940s and '50s who, along with T.S. Eliot, was responsible for a brief, mid-century revival of verse drama; in Chichester, England.

But you can't make a laff riot out of what is essentially a straight man's role, and Jack bombs. Even the family dog scores higher approval ratings with the test audience. And inevitably, the movie becomes less of a domestic comedy...
