can´t help thinking that the dementors then are the wrong choice to be guarding azkaban.

To add some canon to this discussion:

angel: It seems that the DE's have "obsessions" as well, not happy thoughts, so the dementors can't suck it out, their "sense of self" is based on evilness, not happiness.
True enough, mabye the reason that Bellatrix Lestrange didn't go insane in there was because she had too many unhappy thoughts, and actually enjoyed (*shiver*) torturing Neville's parents into maddness. Another thought, mabye the Dementors weren't really 'gaurding' her and her husband (and someone else was with them (not including Imposter Mad-eye--was it her brother.......Rodolphus?) cell since they were the only ones who actually tried to find Lord Voldemort, if you take my point. In other words, the Dementors would only gaurd their cell for the time that seems reasonable enough so no one gets suspicious (mabye they got orders from Lord Voldemort somehow?). If you take my point. And Dumbledore would most likely break out of Azkaban; it would probably involve some kind of concentration [nearly every spell or curse that we have heard of seems to have people to concentrate on something] but not a lot for him though.
*Now that we have finally found the right thread angel.....*

Cheering Charms may become especially useful now.

Is anyone else wondering why there is a register of animagi? I mean I can see the idea behind it, but there is no way of making people register, and no way of finding out if people are one. We know of four unregistered animagi (Pettigrew, Sirius, James and Rita), so it can't be that difficult to avoid registering. Is it optional? If it is compulsory, how do they enforce it?

Also, I think the idea of Dumbledore as a bumblebee animagus is great. Not only because of his name, but your animagus form is supposed to be defined by your character - and Dumbledore is a very busy man (I'm thinking of the phrase "Busy bee").

Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world. I'm pretty sure he could have done it in many ways. Maybe he was able to transfrom (transfiguration?) into a dementor?

Welcome new sleuth! What clues from the canon (books, JKR website, etc.) lead you to believe that Dumbledore could turn into a Dementor? Since this is a sleuthing site, we do try to support our ideas with evidence from the book.
