Dumbledore, while often kind and calm, did have a very serious side of himself and was capable of a terrifying wrath. Additionally, rather than shouting when Harry entered Hogwarts with the Ford Anglia, and when Harry failed to get Slughorn's memory, just an expression of calm disappointment on both occasions was enough to make Harry feel ashamed to the point that he found it preferable if Dumbledore shouted at him. Considered by many to be "the most powerful wizard of all time", Dumbledore was benevolent and wise, a great wizard in the vein of Merlin. He had an almost unearthly calm and relaxed demeanour and almost constantly gave off an aura of serenity and composure, rarely displaying intense emotions of anger or fear. He was known for typically speaking in a calm, collected voice, and being firm, but reasonable and kind.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Had Severus Snape not intervened with a counter-curse, Dumbledore would have died much more quickly. Regardless, the curse left his hand blackened and dead-looking, and no amount of healing could repair the appearance. According to Snape, the curse would eventually spread itself from the contained hand, and Dumbledore was doomed to die in no more than one year's time. Whether this means the blackening dead-look appearance would spread throughout the entire body is unknown. During the summer of 1996, Dumbledore tracked one of Voldemort's Horcruxes to the house of the Gaunts.
The mysterious life and death of Ariana Dumbledore
As an adult, Dumbledore had become an extraordinarily powerful and accomplished wizard, deeply knowledgeable and also proficient in all areas of magic. Nearly unrivalled in abilities and powers, he was admired and feared by even others of outstanding magical talent, considered to be "the greatest wizard of all time" by many. Indeed, Dumbledore was the only wizard capable of defeating Gellert Grindelwald, and later, even in his extremely advanced age, intimidated and surpassed Lord Voldemort himself. Dumbledore's greatest personality flaw, which he explained to Harry in 1998,[28] was his desire for power.
How Students Are Placed In Their Respective Houses In Hogwarts
She survived, but was so badly injured that her development was permanently damaged. Her brother Aberforth told Harry that she refused to use her magic but couldn’t remove it either, and that drove her mad. During the following year at Hogwarts, the Ministry passes Educational Decree Twenty-two, allowing Fudge to place Dolores Umbridge to the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher (after Dumbledore failed to find a suitable candidate).
Dursley family
In Hogwarts School of Wizardly, there were four houses in which students were placed using the sorting hat. Gryffindor’s house was the only one that students could choose other than using the sorting hat. For example, when Harry was sorted in the Slytherin house, he begged the hat to place him in any other house. Despite the sorting hat suggesting that he would do well in Slytherin, he was brave enough to reject it.

Harry Potter: 5 Reasons Dumbledore Is The Best Hogwarts Headmaster (5 It Was McGonagall).

The Headmaster tells Fudge that if he is determined to ignore the warnings, they have reached a parting of the ways. Dumbledore says that he will act as he sees fit, regardless of whether Fudge does the same. The influence of Gryffindor House on Albus Dumbledore’s future was profound and multi-faceted. Gryffindor’s values – courage, bravery, and a strong sense of right and wrong – not only shaped Dumbledore’s character but also guided his decisions and leadership style throughout his life. After graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore’s career was marked by a steadfast commitment to fighting for justice and protecting the wizarding world from dark forces. This was evident in his opposition to dark wizards like Grindelwald and Voldemort, where he demonstrated not just magical prowess but also moral courage.
After winning the Elder Wand in his famous duel with Grindelwald, he came into possession of James Potter’s cloak after borrowing it to study, and kept it safe to give to Harry when he was old enough, meaning that it was in his possession for about a decade. He also came to own the Resurrection Stone, though it came with terrible consequences when he attempted to wield its power and fatally cursed himself. After it was revealed that Dumbledore was devastated by the accidental death of his sister during a fight with Grindelwald and his brother, Aberforth, it became clear that Dumbledore’s deepest desire, and regret, involved his family. Rowling confirmed this after the final novel, revealing that when Dumbledore looks into the mirror he sees his family ‘alive, whole and happy – Ariana, Percival and Kendra all returned to him, and Aberforth reconciled to him’. After that, her brother Albus took care of her – with a lot of help from Aberforth (who was supposedly her favourite sibling).

Once inside, Dumbledore located the Horcrux's second line of defense; a hidden doorway which only opened when it received an offering of blood. They next found themselves in a vast chamber containing an underground lake, with a solitary island at its center from which a faint green light was visible. After a failed attempt by Harry at summoning the Horcrux, Dumbledore located a carefully concealed boat that would allow them safe passage across the lake. During the crossing, Harry learned of the Horcrux's third line of defense; the lake was filled with Inferi, which would attack anyone who touched the lake's water.
Second Wizarding War (1995–
Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts as professor of Transfiguration, and he served in recruiting students for the school. Although Albus loved him, the two brothers were not close to each other, as they were very different persons in personality, with Aberforth resenting being in Albus's shadow. Despite not being close, it cannot be doubted that Albus loved and cared for him dearly, evidenced by the fact that even though he resented having to stay at home, Albus still refused to allow Aberforth to stop his education out of concern of his brother's future. After Ariana's death, Albus and Aberforth's relationship became very estranged, as Aberforth blamed Albus for the death of the sister he and his mother spent so much time caring for. Although they eventually established a cordial relationship with each other, with Aberforth joining the Order of Phoenix when Albus founded it and attending Albus's funeral, Aberforth and Albus still remained distant as Aberforth was not able to forgive Albus. Albus himself made no attempts to change his brother's opinion about him, apparently acknowledging that he deserved it and accepting it as his punishment for their tragic family past, which Albus had a hand in.
It was speculated by Harry Potter that Grindelwald had given his life to prevent Voldemort from desecrating Dumbledore's tomb. They got along for two months until Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother, confronted them over the neglect of Ariana Dumbledore. Dumbledore rushed forward to defend his brother, and during the duel his sister, Ariana was killed. Harry first discovers this device to witness Dumbledore's memory of Igor Karkaroff's trial before the Wizengamot, and also uses it to view Severus Snape's memories of childhood. During the private lessons between Harry and Dumbleore, the Pensieve is used to view a variety of memories about Tom Riddle's past. Considered to be the most powerful wizard of his time, Dumbledore was benevolent and wise, a good wizard in the style of Merlin.
He met Voldemort when he traveled around the world, and shared his body with him. Since then, he served him faithfully, trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and kill Harry Potter. The Order of the Phoenix was an organization Dumbledore formed to oppose Voldemort and his forces. He had good relationships with most of the members, such as his brother Aberforth, Elphias Doge, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid, Severus Snape, James and Lily Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Alastor Moody.
Dumbledore stands at the staff table behind the Goblet of Fire after the Hallowe'en feast is over, waiting for the Goblet to make its decision. When the first piece of parchment is ejected by the Goblet, Dumbledore catches it and holds it at arms length so that he can read the name. He does this twice more, revealing Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory as the three Triwizard champions.
Crouch was imprisoned in Azkaban by his father, but escaped with the help of his mother. Crouch put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire, and helped him with the tasks of the Triwizard Tournament, sending him to Voldemort. In 1992, Lucius gave Tom Riddle's Diary to Ginny Weasley, a Gryffindor student, in order to stigmatize Arthur Weasley, her father and kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts. Lucius was stunned and imprisoned in Azkaban, failing to give Voldemort the Prophecy about the Chosen one, so Voldemort became angry and made Draco a Death Eater and ordered him to kill Dumbledore, otherwise he would kill his family. Draco attempted to kill Dumbledore, telling him that the Death Eaters would kill him, if he didn't so. Dumbledore suggested him to abandon Voldemort, and that he and his mother would be hide by the Order of the Phoenix.
Harry believes Dumbledore orchestrates their discovery of the Sorcerer’s Stone and that Dumbledore wants them to find it. Hermione is shocked that a guardian would put children in that much danger, but Harry and Ron are more impressed by Dumbledore’s foresight. They trust him to have their best interest in mind, and Dumbledore’s exhortation that Harry not focus too much on his deepest desires becomes foundational for Harry’s time at Hogwarts. When Harry is attacked by the Inferi in the lake, Dumbledore rises to his feet, pale with fire dancing in his eyes, and conjures flames from his wand, encircling the creatures with the fire like a vast lasso. He scoops the locket from the bottom of the stone basin an leads Harry back to the boat, moving the ring of fire with them until the Inferi return to the lake.
Dumbledore was never able to uncover hard evidence implicating Riddle, however, he nonetheless kept a very close watch over Riddle, preventing him from opening the Chamber of Secrets again during his remaining years at Hogwarts. He was also able to convince the headmaster to allow Hagrid to remain at the school as the groundskeeper-in-training. Ariana herself tried to intervene in the fight, but couldn't be due to her erratic abilities, and in the ensuing chaos was hit by a stray curse and died. After graduating from Hogwarts in June 1899, Dumbledore planned to take the traditional "Grand Tour" of the world with his friend Doge. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was born on August 3, 1881, in the mainly wizarding village of Mould-on-the-Wold in western England, to Percival Dumbledore.
He was always courteous, even to people who he found rude or in the case of Fenrir Greyback, disgusting. However, despite his benign nature, it is said that Dumbledore was the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever truly feared. Dumbledore and his friend Nicolas Flamel (the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone) began to suspect that the disembodied Dark Lord was plotting to steal the invaluable object, which would be capable of restoring him to full power. Dumbledore had the stone moved to a medium security vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but later had it moved to Hogwarts itself; coincidentally, on the same day that an attempted break-in was made upon the vault. It was retrieved by Hagrid, who was also taking Harry to buy his school supplies. By the mid-1960s, the amount of Dark magical activity across the country was growing steadily, and while few knew what was behind the mounting attacks and sightings, this was but the precursor to Lord Voldemort's first rise to power.
