[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] finds himself alone and naked in an otherworldly place. Hearing noise, he wishes for and receives clothing, then notices a hideous, child-like creature, nude and with flayed-looking skin, crumpled up on the floor. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] appears and lovingly greets Harry. He explains that when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 32|took]] some of Harry's blood as his own, he thereby tethered his life to Harry's; Harry cannot die while Voldemort lives. <!-- Note: the following is a spoiler; it's not in this chapter: Because he willingly sacrificed himself, Harry also is protecting his friends, shielding them from Voldemort's and Death Eaters' curses, just as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily]] had protected Harry by sacrificing herself. Moreover,--> ratherRather than killing Harry outright, Voldemort's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Avada Kedavra|curse]] destroyed the seventh [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|soul shard]] within Harry's body.
 
Dumbledore also guesses that the two wands [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 4|interacted]] as they did during Harry's escape from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]] is thatbecause after Harry and Voldemort's blood was joined, their brother wands, already connected by identical magical cores, and now wielded by Wizards who shared not only pieces of their souls but also their blood, merged even closer. Furthermore, during Harry and Voldemort's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 34|duel in the cemetery]], Harry was the stronger; Voldemort feared death, while Harry embraced the possibility. Harry's wand thus imbibed some powers from Voldemort's, making it more powerful than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]]'s wand. That wand, even when wielded by Voldemort, was easily overpowered by Harry's. As to why Hermione's wand was able to break his, Dumbledore speculates that Harry's wand was abnormally powerful only when it was directed against Voldemort, who it sensed was Harry's mortal enemy, as well as being his blood kin after the events in the cemetery.
 
Harry wonders where they are, though he himself suggests it resembles a deserted [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Platform 9 and Three Quarters|King's Cross station]]. More important issues are addressed: the Hallows. Dumbledore asks Harry's forgiveness for withholding information about the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]. Dumbledore was obsessed with them in his youth, eager to escape death, and equally eager to shine and attain glory, while [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Aberforth Dumbledore|Aberforth]] looked on in disgust. Dumbledore resented having to care for his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Kendra Dumbledore|mother]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ariana Dumbledore|sister]], andwhich theis reasonpart of why he was so happy to befriend [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gellert Grindelwald|Gellert Grindelwald]]. The two young wizards bonded over their mutual search for the Deathly Hallows. An undefeatable wand would surely help them rise to power in the Wizarding world. Dumbledore wanted the Resurrection Stone to reunite his family, but Grindelwald saw it as a means to procure an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Inferius|Inferi]] army. And while neither had much interest in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]], as both were proficient in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Disillusionment|disillusionment]], Dumbledore thought it could be used to hide Ariana.
 
Their short-lived friendship culminated into a fight, along with Aberforth, over Dumbledore's family. Somehow, a stray curse fatally hit Ariana. Grindelwald fled, eventually starting on his rampage, but Dumbledore delayed dueling him, fearing he might learn who actually killed Ariana. After much bloodshed and desperate pleas from the Wizarding world, he felt obliged to confront his former friend and defeated him - thereby winning the Elder Wand. Dumbledore learned that Grindelwald lied to Voldemort when he said he never owned the Elder Wand, perhaps trying to protect Dumbledore in a belated remorseful act. Finally, when Dumbledore retrieved the Peverell Ring, knowing it was a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], he discovered it contained the Resurrection Stone. HisWhile he never explicitly states this, it is clear that his desire to once again see his mother and sister was too great a temptation to resist trying on the ring. But putting it on his finger triggered athe deadly curse that would claim his life within a year.
 
By withholding this information about the Hallows, Dumbledore hoped it would take Harry longer to find them, thus giving him more time to understand their true nature and avoid the same temptation for greed and power heDumbledore had succumbed to. Death's true master. is the one who never seeks to escape it, but is prepared to face it without fear.
 
Finally, Dumbledore tells Harry that he has a choice: if he chooses, he can head to a platform, and he would likely find a train that would take him onwards, or he can return to the living world for a chance to finish Voldemort. Harry chooses to return, but he first asks Dumbledore if their conversation has been real or is it only in his mind. Dumbledore responds, "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"

== Analysis ==
 
Throughout the series, Harry has traveled to King's Cross Station, either to depart for Hogwarts or return to London on the Hogwarts Express. The station has always symbolized the crossroad between the Muggle world and the Wizarding realm and Harry's constant shuffling between, and his conflict with, the two extremes. ItAs isHarry fittingnow thenfinds thathimself Harryat shoulda betransition inpoint thatbetween station'slife simulacrumand death, onlyit now,is purely to be expected that he would see it haswithin becomehis aown junctionmind betweenas lifea andsimulacrum deathof that station. And though Dumbledore assures Harry that he (Harry) is not actually dead, it seems Harry can choose that option if he so wishes. Harry has literally and figuratively been stripped bare, before heand must decide either to board a train that will transport him to the "other side", or return to the living world and an opportunity to finally finish off Voldemort. Both choices are difficult. And though "moving on" seems frightening and contains many unknowns, Harry knows he would finally be at peace, as well as be reunited with his dead parents, and also Sirius, Lupin, and the others he has lost. Dumbledore had once told Harry that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|"to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure"]], a gateway to another realm, likely one that is better and more enjoyable than the living world, and it is a natural progression that should be embraced, not feared. But for Harry, who has yet to fully live his life, it would also mean he must leave behind those he loves in the living world, especially Ginny, and any opportunity for a future with her. If he does go back, then Harry must still confront Voldemort with no guarantee he can win; he also realizes that he is the only one who can kill the Dark Lord, and that countless lives now hinge on his returning. His wishing for clothing may indicate his strong ties to the living world. Harry also realizes that Dumbledore did indeed always love him, and Dumbledore's actions, pitting him against Voldemort, was only because he knew Harry was destined by fate to do so, rather than Dumbledore having personally decreed it. Harry's faith and trust in the headmaster have been restored.
 
Before Harry makes a decision, more questions are answered. The creature on King's Cross' floor would appear to be Voldemort's soul shard that had been within Harry. While this is never explained in the book, Dumbledore tells Harry that his soul is now wholly his own. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=121 According to the author in a later interview, however,] it was actually the remnant of Voldemort's original soul, flayed when it was sheared off for Horcruxes and damaged by his repeated murders.

Harry realizes Dumbledore planned either to die still commanding the Elder Wand, or expected that Snape would unknowingly become the Elder Wand's master, when Snape killed him, according to their prearranged plan. In either event, Dumbledore's expectation was that the Elder Wand would lose its power, either at his own death, or when Snape died without having had anyone challenge Snape for its possession. As there would be nobody left to challenge, the Wand would never transfer its allegiance to a new master. The plan failed to work out as Dumbledore intended; it has not yet been completely revealed how things did fall out, but it is likely that Voldemort, despite murdering Snape, is finding that the Elder Wand is still less responsive to his command.
 
Dumbledore, forever shamed by his delay to fight Grindelwald, chose to remain at Hogwarts, declining more prestigious appointments, solely to avoid succumbing again to power's seductive allure. It is difficult to imagine that Dumbledore, a brave and formidable wizard, could have ever feared anything or would leave others in peril. However, he ignored the Wizarding world's desperate pleas for help and avoided confronting Grindelwald for as long as he could because he dreaded learning that it may have been his own stray curse that accidentally killed his sister, Ariana; he may also have foreseen, and feared, the demands that he become Minister for Magic following that duel. It is only after much bloodshed during Grindelwald's five-year rampage that Dumbledore finally relented and mustered the courage to face him in a fierce duel. Dumbledore's delay seems incomprehensible, and he could be considered indirectly responsible for many deaths during the interim. Dumbledore, however, understood that truth can be a person's most fearsome and crippling enemy, and it incapacitated him during those intervening years.
 
== Questions ==
Dòng 59:
While the story never states whether the other soul seen in what we are calling the Waystation is Voldemort's principal soul or the shard that was within Harry, evidence that it was Voldemort's soul, as stated by the author, will be seen in the next chapter. We will find that Voldemort was knocked out by the rebounding Killing Curse he cast on Harry; as it thrust Harry's spirit into the void that became King's Cross station, Voldemort's soul, tethered to Harry's by the blood bond they shared, was dragged along.
 
At last, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 36|the victorious look in Dumbledore's eye]] when he heard that Voldemort had used Harry's blood to create his new body is explained: through the conversation in this chapter, it is clear that Dumbledore realized that this would help Harry more than it would help Voldemort. As Harry had been protected by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|his mother]]'s blood, so now would he be shielded by his own blood, now coursing through Voldemort's veins. Dumbledore also knew, though Voldemort did not, that by using Harry's blood to re-animate himself, Voldemort had ensured that Harry's death would be impossible as long as this incarnation of Voldemort lived. Further, because he willingly sacrificed himself, Harry is using the same magic to protect his friends, shielding them from Voldemort's and Death Eaters' curses, just as Lily had protected Harry by sacrificing herself.
 
Regarding Harry's statement that Snape was meant to be the Elder Wand's master, Dumbledore admits that that had not worked out as planned. Harry sees this, but we do not as yet; in the next chapter, it will be learned that the Elder Wand never allied itself with Snape, and Snape's death, in turn, has not given Voldemort control over it. And though Harry confirmed this thought with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ollivander|Mr. Ollivander]], he is still at least a little unsure of himself. Dumbledore may have made the same misstep as Voldemort: despite the still-living (until Voldemort murdered them) [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregorovitch|Gregorovitch]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gellert Grindelwald|Grindelwald]] as evidence, Voldemort mistakenly believed that the Elder Wand would fully align itself with the wizard who kills its previous Master, rather than the wizard who forcibly removes the wand from its previous owner's possession. Ollivander was quite emphatic that murder is unnecessary, though with the Elder Wand, that trail does seem to have followed it. As the wand's allegiance was forcibly removed from Dumbledore's possession by Draco Malfoy, even though Dumbledore retained physical custody of it, Harry believes that it allied itself with Draco. It is uncertain whether Dumbledore shares this belief, but his admission that Snape does not currently master the Elder Wand would lead us to believe that Snape's death has given him a little extra understanding. The question remains whether the Elder Wand had aligned itself with Harry once it became "aware" (if a wand can be said to be aware) that Harry disarmed Draco, and was, in fact, using Draco's own wand, the one which had disarmed Dumbledore.
Dòng 65:
Not only did Dumbledore's plan for Snape to obtain the Elder Wand ultimately fail, but it seems rather risky from the start. As mentioned above, Dumbledore should have known that capturing the wand from its owner resulted in it switching its allegiance, as he certainly fully controlled the Elder Wand, as Grindelwald had had before him, when both Gregorovitch and Grindelwald were still alive – a point that Voldemort missed, not once but twice. Even though Voldemort came to possess the wand, he never commanded it. As it was known that Snape killed Dumbledore, there was a high probability that Voldemort would eventually deduce that Snape was the Elder Wand's master, and he would therefore target and kill Snape to transfer its ownership to him. That is exactly what happened, although, fortunately, and unknown to Voldemort, Snape was never the Elder Wand's master. As Dumbledore had a pre-arranged plan with Snape to kill him, it may be that he intended for Snape alone to witness his death, thus forcibly claiming, and secretly wielding the Elder Wand. Likewise, just as Dumbledore never foresaw that Draco Malfoy would disarm him and unknowingly control the wand (though he did not physically possess it), he may also have failed to anticipate that circumstances would force Snape to return to Voldemort when he did, placing him in a dangerously close proximity to the Dark Lord.
 
If Dumbledore's scheme had worked as he intended, the story's outcome would depend on whether the Elder Wand remained entombed with Dumbledore, or if Snape had physically obtained it after killing Dumbledore. Entombed with Dumbledore, the wand would have remained Snape's, even after Voldemort retrieved it and carried it; Snape's death would not have aligned the wand with Voldemort, as Voldemort would not have forcefully removed the wand from its previous owner, Snape. (While this appears parallel to Harry's case, as Harry defeated Malfoy when Malfoy was not carrying the wand, there is one vital difference: the Elder Wand, in Voldemort's hands, then faced the wand that had wrenched it from Dumbledore's hand, in the hand of the one who had seized it from Malfoy's hand. Tenuous a connection as that seems, apparently that was enough for the Elder Wand to switch alliance. To get the same effect, Voldemort would have to claim the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb usingwhile wielding Snape's wand.) However, equally the wand would not have aligned itself with Harry, as Harry would never have had the opportunity to wrest it from Snape. If Snape had retained the wand, Voldemort would have had one additional step to retrieve it, and it is possible that Snape would have simply given the wand to Voldemort. In that case, again as the wand was not wrested from Snape, it would remain his, and thus somewhat ineffectual in Voldemort's hands. Only if Snape had resisted turning over the wand, and Voldemort had seized it by force, would the wand owe allegiance to Voldemort, and in that case, Harry likely would have had a much more painful time of things.
 
It has also been suggested that Dumbledore's plan was considerably simpler: he meant to die as the Elder Wand's final master, with the wand's allegiance transferring to no one upon his death. If his plan had worked, Snape would have killed Dumbledore on Dumbledore's orders, while Dumbledore was still the Elder Wand's master, and which the Wand would not have recognized as a defeat. The Elder Wand would never afterward have had an allegiance to any living wizard, and, as a result, its bloody and dangerous cycle would have been ended forever. This would imply that Dumbledore was fully aware of the distinction between death and defeat, from the Wand's point of view, and his plan failed only in that he never expected Draco to disarm him. While this is by far the simplest scenario for Dumbledore's plan, it must be mentioned that it is not explicitly described anywhere in these terms, either in the books or in the author's interviews since publication. And though it is unknown if this was ever Dumbledore's intention, it will become Harry's. After Harry discovers that he is the Elder Wand's true master, and following Voldemort's defeat, he decides never to use the Elder Wand, and intends to return it to Dumbledore's tomb with the hope that its power will be forever extinguished when he eventually dies.
