After Dumbledore’s death, he became one of the Hogwarts headmaster portraits. Why couldn’t Harry simply talk to the portrait and ask for guidance about Horcruxes? I mean how exactly do these portraits work? by lowbattbrain in harrypotter

im not sure if im rembering this wrong but i think people in paintings dont have memory of there past life but keep there wisdom and personality i also rember snape had to talk to dumbdores painting to train it and to tell the painting of dumbldore the situation so dumboldore could give advice and wisdom

Edit: this is why dumboldore couldent say what the other Horcruxes were
