Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS)

In the book, that arch is literally "the veil" as in "beyond the veil." One co-worker remarked to me, after reading the bok, that he thought it rather silly that Sirius was killed by a metaphor. (In the book , Bellatrix did not use the Avada Kedavra spell. She just zapped him through the arch, hence pushing him beyond the veil. Gosh, it does sound kind of silly as I type it here.)

Anyhow, I recall the book going to some length to indicate that once you are beyond the veil, there is no coming back. Whether the upcoming last volume will concoct an exemption will soon be known.
