Severus Snape killed Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore because he had been asked to do so by Dumbledore himself. Dumbledore found out about Draco’s task to kill him and so asked Snape to do it instead.
Dumbledore learned he had only about a year left to live after he was cursed by Marvolo Gaunt’s ring, and although Snape contained the curse, it would spread throughout his body and kill him. Knowing his time was already drawing near and he was going to die either way, he had an arrangement with Snape to die at his hands rather than be killed by the death eaters.
Dumbledore also worked with Snape to accomplish his death so that Voldemort would trust Snape and believe his pseudo-allegiance to the death eaters. Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape are both major characters in Jk Rowling’s Harry Potter series. And whilst Dumbledore is the protagonist, Snape is an antagonist, but both of them were in cahoots because snape became a double agent.
When Does Dumbledore Die?
Dumbledore died during the second major conflict of the second wizarding war, called the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, which is also known as the Battle of the Lightning-Struck Tower. It occurred at the highest point of the astronomy tower of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on June 30, 1997.
Harry and Dumbledore leave a beachside cave where Voldemort stashed one of his Horcruxes and get back to Hogwarts just before midnight. On top of the Astronomy Tower, Dumbledore is confronted by Draco Malfoy and Death Eaters. A conflict ensues, and Severus Snape kills Albus Dumbledore.
What Movie Does Dumbledore Die?
Dumbledore dies in the 2009 movie, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. Albus Dumbledore was the only wizard in the world whom Lord Voldemort feared, so in the sixth part of the Harry Potter movie series, which is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort secretly ordered Draco Malfoy, a sixteen-year-old Death Eater, and student at Hogwarts, to kill him.
Even though his previous assassination attempts had been unsuccessful, Draco was able to sneak a few Death Eaters into Hogwarts through a pair of Vanishing Cabinets in the Room of Requirement. There, they came into contact with several Hogwarts faculty members, students, members of Dumbledore’s Army, and Order of the Phoenix members who had been stationed at the school to provide security at the request of both Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
Severus Snape murdered Albus Dumbledore as the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters engaged in combat. It was later discovered that the murder was a covert plot between Dumbledore and Snape because Dumbledore would have died anyways because he donned Marvolo Gaunt’s cursed ring, a Horcrux, and was already subject to a fatal curse that would have eventually killed him.
