Sirius Lives

ithink sirius is a live he most bee his a good part of the book

sires is dead..... even dom. sad so!!!!1 heas dead you just need to execp it .....
like harry must ... no matter how hard he trys no matter how grand his dreems it is not realety..... "it is not healty to dwell on dreems and to forget to live" sires is dead just like lily and james... we dont like it but that is that.

Sirius is dead for now. That doesn't mean that he can no longer communicate with Harry. Maybe Sirius will speak through Professor Trelawny, although I think Harry would rather have Sirius send him a talking dog.

I think he's dead physically but I think he'll be able to make contact with Harry somehow. I think the mirror that Harry broke was something important, hopefully he can fix it.

I think sirius is still alive to

I disagree severely who will hary have now

If Harry is going to be an auror in his later life, he better learn to get used to the lonely life. Loved ones are openings in your defenses and leave you vulnerable to your enemies. No, I think Sirius is dead, but Harry may be able to contact him as his powers grow.

My sister had a very interesting (and somewhat disturbing, actually) point about this matter w/ Sirius and Harry. My sister said that when Sirius gave Harry the mirror, wrapped as a present, he said it could be used in the greatest time of need (something along those lines, anyway). Harry never even opened it, the ungrateful wretch. Anyway, if he HAD, maybe he would've never gone to Kreetchers house and ruined everything, he could've contacted Sirius!

KaraC: that is soo tru. if Harry had taken the time 2 open the present, the mirror, he wouldn't have tried to contact sirius and sirius wouldn't be dead right now. ok, it's possible that he would have died anyways, but if harry had opened the present, like i just said, it would have delayed his death. does that make sense or does is sound like gibberish or something?

Yeah, that makes sense, but I think that's kind of the point, too. Ultimately, Harry had the means to contact Sirius without resorting to breaking school rules, but he didn't. Because he didn't think about what he was doing. A valuable lesson for him there, I think. As for the idea of the mirror coming back into play at some point further down the line, I don't think that's going to happen; dead people tend to have difficulty picking up solid objects.
