· What the heck is happening in the scene where Harry is "dead"?
Dumbledore gives some garbled gibberish about Voldemort having Harry's
blood in his veins, but there isn't so much as a morsel of explanation
of how this allows Harry to survive a fatal blow, enter a zone between
life and death, and choose which direction he goes. Sci-fi and fantasy
are plagued by heroes coming back from death. Harry dies, then he and
Dumbledore converse in some kind of purgatory, then Harry is totally
fine again: No explanation. The decisive plot twist in the final
Potter book made no more sense than a "Battlestar Galactica" episode.

The real BG made tons of sense.

Harry never dies. he invents an imaginary world based off of King's
Cross as he chats we DD, and decides his final fate. Many such
journeys involve some place that one travels from. IE Daniel Jackson
ascending through the Stargate in the show of the same name. He never
really went through it.

The blood makes perfect sense if you've been paying attention to
Horcruxes. Just not a true horcrux, is all.
