Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Dumbledore's speech (HD)
Fans will know the famous boy wizard lost his mentor Dumbledore in the sixth book and film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but it looks like his death was predicted three stories earlier.
Is it possible that author JK Rowling planted a hidden hint that the Hogwarts Head was destined to die before the series would finish?
Reddit user xAnuq certainly thinks so, claiming Dumbledore’s death was spoilt in the third film and book.

“Before she sits down she is frightened because there are already 12 people sitting at the table and 13 people sitting at the same table brings misery.
“She does not sit down and mentions that the first of those 13 persons to stand up would die.
“In order to calm her, Dumbledore stands up and leaves the table.”
They added: “But we later get to know that Ron's rat was just Peter Pettigrew who transformed himself.
“Knowing that Ron carried his rat in his pocket most of the time, that'd mean there were already 13 people at the table.
“As Dumbledore leaves as the first of those 13 people, his fate was sealed.”
