He did not offer her a glass, but simply produced it, knowing she would drink it. Dumbledore kindly rejected her request due to her being a Muggle, which had likely contributed to Petunia's already growing hatred of magic. if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[320,50],'bookstacked_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_2',122,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-bookstacked_com-medrectangle-3-0');if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[320,50],'bookstacked_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_3',122,'0','1'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-bookstacked_com-medrectangle-3-0_1'); .medrectangle-3-multi-122{border:none !important;display:block !important;float:none !important;line-height:0px;margin-bottom:7px !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-top:7px !important;max-width:100% !important;min-height:50px;padding:0;text-align:center !important;}But, despite his status as a one-hundred-plus-year-old veteran of the Wizarding World, the one who had an Order of Merlin, who was the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, we have to ask ourselves did he really have Harrys interest at heart? And that is exactly what we got in Deathly Hallows and especially the chapter Kings Cross. In the instructions Dumbledore ordered her to make some copies of Newt's suitcase. But in contrast to this, Dumbledore overestimated Snape's feelings to get over "old grudges" and therefore assigned him to tutor Harry in Occlumency, which ended badly between the two parties. Harry Potter is understandably deeply impacted by the death of his parents. Dumbledore, having regained consciousness, created a ring of fire around them that repelled the Inferi, driving them back into the lake while he and Harry escaped in the boat with the Horcrux. On his part, Remus confessed that Dumbledore's trust and exceptional kindness towards him meant everything to him, given that the vast majority of the wizarding world shunned him because of the deep prejudice towards werewolves, and Remus felt guilty for betraying this kindness by allowing his three Marauder friends illegally become Animagi and roaming wild during their schooling years. Aberforth himself however, eventually changed his opinions of his brother when Harry Potter helped him realise what Albus's intention really was and had forgiven him, as he chose to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts, helping the students and faculty of Hogwarts and the Hogsmeade residents to protect the school where Albus served as Headmaster for almost half of his lifetime, from Lord Voldemort, as well as to allow Harry time to find what he thought to be the last Horcrux. [35], Even though the freshly hired instructor would henceforth largely busy himself with the training of young witches and wizards, Albus would continue to keep in touch with Nicolas Flamel, alongside whom he would eventually achieve a number of advancements in the field of alchemy over the years as their relationship blossomed from that of student-and-mentor, to that of an equal partnership and near life-long friendship. Dumbledore revealed to Harry that he made it his business to try and find out about Lord Voldemort's past. They were introduced by Grindelwald's great aunt, Bathilda Bagshot. When Harry recovered from the ordeal in the hospital wing, he questioned Dumbledore about why Voldemort had tried to murder him as a baby. And after all, as Professor McGonagall once said after his tragic passing, "Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world." Dumbledore suspected that the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Quirinus Quirrell was behind the plot to steal the Philosopher's Stone, while working for the weakened Lord Voldemort, and as such he asked Snape to keep an eye on him. In 1996, Dumbledore and Lucius fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. You no doubt know the circumstances: Harry, having found out that he himself was a Horcrux, has sacrificed himself to Lord Voldemort. [28], Most significantly, he revealed that Harry was not dead because, when Voldemort had used Harry's blood to restore his body, he had unintentionally linked Harry's life to his own, with the result that Voldemort's curse had "killed" only the fragment of his soul that had remained in Harry all these years. Vinyl (1st edition), Albus Dumbledore as a POP! Phoenix[19][20][21] After binding the Death Eaters with an Anti-Disapparition Jinx, Dumbledore went to the atrium of the Ministry where Lestrange had been joined by Voldemort himself, who attempted to kill Harry. It was also at this moment that he realised the true identity of "Snape". [56], Harry Potter and Dumbledore seeing Remus Lupin off, Dumbledore saw Remus Lupin (the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher) off after Snape leaked his identity as a werewolf to the school. [47], During his final talk with Harry in his office, Dumbledore came close to telling Harry about his connection with Voldemort but refrained from doing so as he felt that twelve years old was still too young to learn the truth and he wanted Harry to enjoy this night of triumph. It does, however, reframe certain events, with Aberforth's bitterness towards his brother over his secrecy feeling somewhat different in light of his own secrets. The Dursleys, whom he entrusted Harry Potter to. He was however intrigued by Tom Riddle as his powers were surprisingly well-developed by such a young wizard who had begun to use them consciously. In addition, Harry and Dumbledore both possessed outrageous tempers that when witnessed were great enough to cow and frighten even those closest to them. Using these memories, along with some of his own, he discovered that Voldemort had created six Horcruxes, an unheard-of event, been guilty of murders that he framed others for, and also figured out what the Horcruxes could be based on Voldemort's ego and his long interest in Hogwarts: Tom Riddle's Diary, Gaunt's Ring, Hufflepuff's Cup, Slytherin's Locket, Nagini, and an object of Rowena Ravenclaw's (later revealed to be her lost diadem). Dumbledore also sent Hagrid on other important missions, such as attempting to persuade the giants to join the side of the Order of the Phoenix. He was the only Headmaster to be laid to rest on the Hogwarts grounds, after Hagrid argued that no other Headmaster had ever given as much to the school as Dumbledore had. In fact, Dumbledore seemed somewhat disappointed when he incorrectly believed that Draco would invite Greyback into the castle. Elphias suffered from Dragon Pox, and everybody avoided him. It's unknown how Dumbledore viewed him, but he apparently found Lockhart's antics to be amusing instead of irritating unlike many of the other professors, as he kindly denied Lockhart's proposal of starting a school newspaper rather than punishing him as many, if not all, of the other staff members have been known to do out of dislike of Lockhart's vanity seeking.

After reading them, the instructions fell apart. However, it turns out Aurelius Dumbledore wasn't Albus (Jude Law) and Aberforth's brother - he was Aberforth's son. Dumbledore had been known to have at least some correspondence with the Dursley family before the birth of their nephew. While Grindelwald and his army terrorised Europe, Dumbledore remained in Britain and refused adamantly to face Grindelwald. Dumbledore also knew Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor (1992-1993), when he was still a student. After the end of his relationship with Grindelwald and his heartbreak over that and the passing of his sister, Dumbledore set out to become the Dumbledore the wizarding world knew him to be: moral, wise, great, and kind. From that exchange we can see that because Harry asked to come along, Dumbledore agreed to bring him to The Cave. [28] Celebrated worldwide as the hero who put to rest the global wizarding war and ended Grindelwald's For the Greater Good revolution of wizarding dominance over Muggles, Dumbledore was awarded the Order of Merlin (First Class), by Leonard Spencer-Moon's administration. Percy also thought of Dumbledore as a great wizard, but sometimes odd. (Harry Naltchayan/The Washington Post) 16 min. His beard is also tied with a thread-like chain, the ends of which feature miniature bells. When "Professor Snape" asked Merula to come forward and admit her wrongdoing of claiming credit for the potion actually brewed by Penny Haywood, Dumbledore invited Penny up on the podium to receive the credit she deserved. Attempting to murder Neville's toad (why would Neville even bring Trevor to class?). Thinking he might be a family member wanting to claim him, she accepted the preposition and, at the agreed upon time and date, Professor Dumbledore presented himself at the establishment in question. [95], At the start of the 19871988 school year, Professor Dumbledore introduced Madam Patricia Rakepick to the entire school, charging her with everything related to the Cursed Vaults and making her an official non-teaching staff member capable of docking House points. Hair colour He was also friends with Kingsley Shacklebolt, who believed in equality and fairness for all wizards and witches and Muggles; Arabella Figg, whom he trusted to watch Harry Potter during his years at the Dursleys' house (and heard about the abuse Harry suffered while doing nothing); Nymphadora Tonks, an Auror; Dedalus Diggle; Hestia Jones; Emmeline Vance; Sturgis Podmore; Mundungus Fletcher; and the Weasley family. With Harry acting as the leader and teacher, this organisation was known as Dumbledore's Army, in order to frighten the Ministry. Among them was a Pensieve, a stone receptacle used to store and review memories, which witches and wizards are able to extract from their heads as a type of fluid. A portrait of him was later put in place at Hogwarts. Nevertheless, he reminded them that the impact on others should be kept in mind in their coming years. The second Qilin bowed before Albus. It didn't, of course, and they were absolutely horrible to Harry throughout his entire childhood. There was a reason for this- Harry had to be able to stay with them at least until turning 17, or his mother's sacrificial protection wouldn't have worked. Dumbledore instructed Harry on the use of fire as the weapon of choice against the Inferi, should it become necessary. Another note worth mentioning in this area, is Dumbledore conjured a bottle of gin to help ease Mrs Cole during their conversation.
