Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival (15 August, 2004) source]) that's the only way he'd get his portrait hung in the [[headmaster's office]]. Voldemort's timeline laid out in ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' implies that Dumbledore suceeded Dippet in around 1957 (Riddle congratulates him on it when asking for the DADA job — this was ten years after killing [[Hepzibah Smith]], which was itself just a short period after he left Hogwarts in 1945); from this follows that Dippet died then. As well as this, while in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' we learn that McGonagall joined the faculty in December 1956, ''[[Pottermore]]'' clarifies that she was offered "''[https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/professor-mcgonagall a job in the Transfiguration department, under Head of Department, Albus Dumbledore]''", implying that he was not yet Headmaster at that time and that Dippet was still alive.</ref> |

As Dippet's portrait was shown hanging in the office in the [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' film]] and ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', this means that he must have died in office.
