Harry Potter pastiches

Apparently, there's been a rumor that Dumbledore dies in the newest Harry Potter novel. I have no idea whether this is true. Neither does the Guardian, but that didn't stop them from publishing a competition to write your own version of how might it happen...in the style of a favorite author (or maybe just one you think would be funny).

Heh.

Guardian Unlimited Writing Contest

Among the many possibilities:
Lemony Snicket
Frank Miller's Sin City
H P Lovecraft
The ZORK computer game
Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)
