Talk:Antonin Dolohov

Alive?
Changed it from saying he was "likely to have been killed" to "unlikely". If he "Fell with a scream", he was clearly still alive.

JK never said he was dead and the charms teacher is way to nice to kill. it would have been funny to have him be put in a body bond one last time seeing as he has be hit by it so many times. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.228.49.45 (talk • contribs).
 * While I agree that Dolohow is not dead, remember that McGonagall told Slughorn that during the battle, they would "duel to kill". And Flitwick was a duelling champion in his youth.  Just because someone is nice, doesn't mean they don't have it in them to kill if the need arises. -  Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 14:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Molly Weasley for example.


 * I like to think that Rowling would have killed Dolohov in the end. I doubt that she would have left the murderer of such a main character alive. I think the scream was implied to make us believe that Dolohov had been slain, rather than the others such as Yaxely or Thicknesse, who had no evidence of being killed. The scream only means that Flitwick did not use Avada Kedavra, which does not surprise me at all. However, I have no proof either, until someone puts the question to Rowling herself.

Skill
Opponents Dolohov defeated:
 * Killed the Prewett brothers during the First War - both noted to be highly skilled and powerful wizards
 * Hermione, Neville, Harry (Dept. Mysteries) - severely injures Hermione, breaks Neville's wand and nose (severely impairing his fighting ability), and corners Harry - and all while silenced. Harry only escapes because Dolohov was distracted.
 * Defeats and injures Mad-Eye Moody (Dept. Mysteries) - a famous and highly skilled former Auror
 * Kills Remus Lupin (Battle of Hogwarts) - a powerful wizard capable of wandless magic
 * Looking at all of this, I think it's clear Dolohov's one of the most skilled Death Eaters. A bit easily distracted, though.

Hair Colour
I entered that Dolohov had dark hair because of this passage from DH:
 * Harry picked up his wand and climbed over all the debris to where the large blond Death Eater was sprawled across the bench.
 * “I should’ve recognized him, he was there the night Dumbledore died,” he said. He turned over the darker Death Eater with his foot; the man’s eyes moved rapidly between Harry, Ron and Hermione.
 * “That’s Dolohov,” said Ron. “I recognize him from the old wanted posters. I think the big one’s Thorfinn Rowle.”

Obviously, he can't be blonde, and saying "the darker Death Eater" rather than just something like "the other Death Eater" seems to indicate that his hair, at least, is dark. Oread 00:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course, she could be referring to the colouration of his skin, implying that Dolohov had a more mediterranean appearance. However, since she mentions Rowle's hair colour, then Dolohov as darker, it is a reasonable assumption. -  Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 08:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure she meant his hair color, since he is described as pale several times in the books.


 * I agree with that. ShirleyA [[Image:Luna_Lovegood.jpg|20px]]( The Quibbler ) 10:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
