hey ppl😉

k i don t get u no abt da pictures of headmissters n headmasters in dumbys office!!!

how do they travel???😕😃

n if they dead how can they talk??😕😳

n if dumby is dead they y isnt he in da new headmissters office???? 😕😳

k sry but i am a bit confused😳 i reread all da hp books 2 find my anwer espically da 5 twice😛 but i dont get it!!!😕 plz help!!!😊

k im not sure bout this but u can try searching on the net or sumthing

but this is wat i think...the pics in the head's office are there due to sum special magic and they have the ability to move from their different portraits. also, many other pics have the ability to talk in hp, like the fat lady, so its no surprise that these old heads can tak as well. they were prolly created to portray their personalities of wen they themselves were heads.

hope that helps! 😊

They move from frame to frame, so they can pretty much travel whereever there r pictures I guess.. But, some can only travel where from their one picture to another..

The sixth book does mention a new picture added among the pictures of other dead headmistress and headmaters, and the new picture is of Dumbledore..

Hope that helped!😛

Well, this isn't exactly proved as yet, but here's my $0.02 on portraits, to answer your "if they're dead, how can they talk?" question:

I don't think the portrait is actually THEM... if it is, then what's the point of dying, right? Why would people make such a big fuss about death? I think it's just an "imprint" of their personality - magic or whatever done so that their personality can be kept in a portrait. It's not them, but just a picture of them that holds some of their characteristics. Like Phineas's portrait would probably say stuff that Phineas himself would have thought of saying - it is, however, NOT Phineas and does not reflect the whole Phineas. Same goes for Dumbledore - now that he's a portrait, he might be able to give Harry sound advice, but nothing he couldn't have given Harry before he died, and probably nothing that is significant enough.

How portraits travel from one frame to another is a mystery. It's perhaps just a characteristic of a portrait.

And, yes, Dumbledore's portrait is up in the Headmaster's office.

hi ppl,

sorry for not posting in a long time.

the ppl in the potraits in the various offices and imp places are mere imprints of the people themselves. Like with Hogwarts all past Headmasters and Mistresses are bound by a magical contract to help the current headmaster/mistress. That is why we see Dumbledore's Potrait in the Headmaster's office after he's dead. 😭 😭 😭

Also for exceptionally gr8 wizards, the ministry of magic allows them to move between their potraits. We see this in OOtP when Mr. Weasley is attacked in the dept. of mysteries.
