J.K. Rowling gives her approval to popular fan theory that claims Professor Dumbledore is Death himself
The fan theory originates from a story in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' and Rowling herself tweeted to say, 'It's a beautiful theory and it fits'
When 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' first hit the shelves in 1997, it became quite the phenomenon, capturing the imaginations of children and adults alike across the world. The seven books went on to sell a combined total of over 500 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling book series in history.
As it is with such immensely popular novels, innumerable fan theories have been concocted that attempt to explain away some of the more ambiguous segments. One such theory concerns Professor Albus Dumbledore and has him pinned as Death, and it seems as if J.K. Rowling has given the theory her blessing.
