Jan 14, 2017 at 1:50 comment added Invoker Just because they are reborn from the ashes doesn't necessarily mean they're immortal. Like what the others said, what if other circumstances targeted them, excluding Avada Kedavra, like someone who eats them or others...
Jan 13, 2017 at 23:30 comment added Kai Surely a phoenix could be permanently killed if they ended up an environment where they couldn't possibly survive. Like if it ended up in a vacuum or something.
Jan 13, 2017 at 21:52 comment added Skooba - Stands Against AI @Michael Perhaps. They may be like cats and have "nine lives"; I provided the canon information, one can interpret that how they see fit.
Jan 13, 2017 at 21:26 comment added user11521 @Skooba semantics, perhaps, but since it involves dying and being reborn from the ashes, and immortality involves not dying...
Jan 13, 2017 at 20:47 comment added Skooba - Stands Against AI @PaulDraper My only hesitation is that if "immortal" was meant, it would have been said.
Jan 13, 2017 at 20:08 comment added Paul Draper "when their bodies begin to fail, then be reborn" That's pretty much immortal.
Jan 13, 2017 at 19:30 comment added Oriol @T.E.D. I would expect the biologically immortal meaning.

Jan 13, 2017 at 19:05 comment added T.E.D. I guess it depends on what you mean by "immortal". If you mean, "can not possibly die", like a god, then that seems unlikely. If you mean "does not naturally die of old age", like a Sequoia, then it seems a good description.

Jan 13, 2017 at 18:44 comment added Skooba - Stands Against AI @Valorum Good point. I checked wording in canon sources and "immortal" in not used.

added info on immortality
Jan 13, 2017 at 18:29 comment added Valorum A very long incubation, along with phoenixes being not actually immortal would do it.
