Anything else die with .....? HUGE ENORMOUS SPOILERS

Now that DD has died, have all his spells and enchantments died with him?

What's now protecting Hogwarts (if anything)?

If he had helped with securing Azkaban after the Dementors had left, can all the prisoners now escape?

I think the whole plot has now changed.

DD is too cunning and powerful to have made charms that would fail if he expired.  I suspect they are still in place or maybe enhanced by his death.  We certainly haven't seen that last of him, he lived to be over 150, how did he manage that?! Plus he has to tell Harry the story how he got the ring.

Nah, every charm and precaustion DD made remains tight. IMHO

I think Jo's rules of magic say that spells expire with the caster's death, like when Harry unfreezes after Dumbly's "death". But charms can endure.

Didnt DD say that he got the ring from the house when it was in ruins.
I cannot remember now

I think DD told Harry that he found the ring while searching the ruins of the house.  I took that to mean the house had fallen apart due to disrepair.
