Soon after Sirius' death Dumbledore attempted to comfort and explain himself to the distraught Harry, who took his anger out by demolishing Dumbledore's office, even going so far as to consider attacking him. It is possible that all the members and allies of the Order who were neither killed nor imprisoned, fought in the Battle of Hogwarts (except Arabella Figg, who was a Squib, and couldn't fight. However, after the death of Leta Lestrange, Dumbledore put aside whatever affection he had for Grindelwald and was determined to break the Blood Pact. Harry himself (who was also rather terrified of his reaction) fully understood then why Dumbledore was the only wizard that Voldemort ever feared. A lesser note of his emotional insight was with Gilderoy Lockhart: despite Lockhart having fooled every inhabitant in the wizarding world with his books, Dumbledore, having knew what he truly was, was completely unable to be tricked by Lockhart and he was able to effortlessly manipulate Lockhart into taking the job of DADA Professor by slyly hinting Harry Potter was in Hogwarts attending his second year so he can expose him. Hagrid was also devastated by Dumbledore's death in 1997. Discounting the special case of Tom Riddle/Voldemort, Dumbledore is, to date, the only major core character in the series to be recast. Despite this, after learning of Sirius's innocence, Dumbledore forgave Remus for his supposed betrayal, understanding his Marauder friends only became Animagi to help Remus in his werewolf form and considered it an extraordinary achievement. Having love for other people, even if they might be different from you or come from different places, is a powerful thing. Although he loved his younger sister, Albus was resentful when he had to take responsibility for her after their mother's death, which forced him to stay at home, and thus abandon his ambitious plans. They're bound by some sort of magical contract. Aberforth's character appeared in the Harry Potter series quite late, Albus first mentioning him in The Goblet of Fire, and making his first brief appearance in The Order of Phoenix. On his last drink he fell unconscious. He brought Harry to Slughorn's home during his hiring pitch,andused Slughorn's love for "collecting" influential people in his Slug Club and his old fondness for Lily Potter to convince Horace to teach again. He spent a short portion of his youth concocting plans with Gellert Grindelwald for global domination over Muggles, in the process treating his ill sister with neglect. When Severus Snape found out Remus's secret, Dumbledore forbade him from repeating it to anyone. Dumbledore believed that Hagrid did not open the Chamber of Secrets and asked the former Headmaster Armando Dippet to train Hagrid as the gamekeeper so he could stay. Now, when it comes to Dumbledore, he does have a good sense of humor. This boy could have been part of our lives, part of our family." He had originally intended to use the Resurrection Stone to bring back his parents, so that the heavy responsibility on his shoulders would be lifted. (It appears and is implied that his brother's punch during their sister's funeral played a role in shaping his nose.) During the last year of his life, Dumbledore's right hand was scarred when he donned the cursed Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. This did not, however, discourage the Headmaster from taking a personal interest in Jacob, who was both one of the most rebellious and most talented students at the time. 'I do love knitting patterns. Why would Dumbledore say "After all this time?" to Snape? Albus expressed his sadness over Leta's death at Grindelwald's hands. He left Harry to suffer at the hands of the Dursleys and did nothing to stop their abuse and neglect. When Harry recovered from the ordeal in the hospital wing, he questioned Dumbledore about why Voldemort had tried to murder him as a baby. [46], However, Snape who had been called by Filius Flitwick to assist the Order of the Phoenix, sometime previously arrived at the Tower and, after Dumbledore pleaded with him, in a way that did not expose Snape's true intentions, killed the Headmaster, blasting his body off the tower and falling to the ground below. The curse quickly spread, and were it not for his own prodigious talents, he would have died within moments. He was the wielder and the master of the Elder Wand from 1945 until 1997, and considered by many as the greatest Hogwarts Headmaster. We earn a commission on purchases made through Bookshop.org. 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. 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. If love meant so much to one of the greatest wizards of all time, what did he really know of it? Dumbledoretells Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) that in 1899, during the same summer thatAlbus fell in love with Grindelwald, Aberforth also fell in love with a woman from Godric's Hollow. After the death of James Potter, Albus Dumbledore becomes one of several to take on a father-figure role for Harry Potter during his time at Hogwarts. When asked on twitter why Dumbledore sends other people to deal with the bad guy (in this case Grindelwald) she said he has his reasons and to be patient. Single Gellert Grindelwald was "locked up" for six months at MACUSA before his prisoner transport, and Newt's meeting with the committee occurred three months after that, according to the script. Dumbledore's relationship with the famous magizoologist was very close. Five minutes later, Dumbledore was sitting on their living room floor by the fireplace, eating crumpets and playing Gobstones with Remus. However, Gambon's Dumbledore is somewhat different in that regard. Crouch, in the guise of Moody, successfully fooled the Goblet of Fire and ensured that Harry Potter was chosen as the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament. It was unknown how he felt about Quirrell's frailty or if he knew of Quirrell's bitterness over his bullying, making him desire to be noticed, but it was likely that although he was concerned about it, ever the optimist, he had hoped that Quirrell could overcome this with time. [15], During the ceremony, Grindelwald used the revived Qilin, which bowed to him, making him the new Supreme Mugwump. However, Newt was allowed to keep his wand. Why didn't anyone care that Harry was treated terribly by Dursleys? Therefore, Dumbledore's Boggart is said to be his sister's corpse.[17]. Dumbledore reluctantly tolerated the Dementors on school grounds but refused to allow them within the school itself. Among these students were future Order members Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett, Death Eaters-to-be Bellatrix Black and Lucius Malfoy. Dumbledore's first year was met with much whispering about his father's crime. Dumbledore, while often kind and calm, did have a very serious side of himself and was capable of a terrifying wrath. [46], They would find no rest there, however, as the Battle of the Astronomy Tower had already begun. He even pleaded with Harry to forgive him for the mistakes he's made, acknowledging Harry as the better man. Dumbledore also believed that Harry's love for his parents was his greatest power. [66] Certain that Hogwarts had not seen the last of The Cabal, however, he tasked his old friend, veteran Auror and brother-in-arms in the Order of the Phoenix, Alastor Moody, with investigating The Cabal, who henceforth monitored their activities off-the-books. Managing to appease Harry, he began explaining the meaning of his connection with Voldemort and asserting the meaning of the prophecy. It may be just a handful of quotes from the diary of Albus Dumbledore, but its undeniable evidence that the man we thought was one of the greatest may not have been who we thought he was at all. Dumbledore revealed that he knew of Draco's mission and of the attempts on his life with the Opal Necklace and poisoned mead but allowed him to remain in Hogwarts for knowing Voldemort would kill him if he was exposed and expelled. Newt decided to take the blame and was sentenced to expulsion. Dumbledore rushed forward to defend his brother, and during the duel his sister, Ariana, was killed. [92], Before Dumbledore left Hogwarts again to search for Rakepick, he gave Rita Skeeter "periodical permission" to visit Hogwarts Castle to observe the students, and to invite them to partake in a "friendly competition" where the winner would receive a first-page article in the Daily Prophet. Albus asked Lally and Jacob to go to the candidates dinner, as he suspected that there will be some kind of assassination attempt. As revealed by his brother Aberforth, Dumbledore used to be a different man. "I cared more for your happiness than your knowing the truth, more for your peace of mind than my plan, more for your life than the lives that might be lost if the plan failed. When Bunty appeared, Newt pulled a second Qilin from the suitcase. It is unclear whether the expulsion was enforced or not, or if it was temporary or permanent. Dumbledore was very saddened by their deaths and dedicated the rest of his life to protecting their son, Harry, without giving him any happiness in his childhood. Ending the conversation, Albus advised her to get rid of regret because it was his inseparable companion since the death of his sister. When Grindelwald managed to escape, Albus felt that he would not be able to fight the Dark wizard, so he asked Scamander for help. [50] Convinced that the vaults were real, Rakepick had tried to warn the staff about them, but seen as how neither she, nor anyone else for that matter, had ever come close enough to finding them to offer up any solid proof for their existence, her professors, Albus included, did not act on it at the time. For all the wonderful things he did, he certainly deserved that much. However, when Lockhart erased the memories of two wizards that Dumbledore knew, Dumbledore, having never been fooled by Lockhart's tall tales, easily found out the truth and immediately decided to appoint him as a Hogwarts professor to expose Lockhart's fraudulence, and because Lockhart at the time was the only person willing to apply for the cursed Defence against the Dark Arts post. He made certain to impress on the students how the destruction caused by these duels was left there so other students who wanted to duel could see how dangerous duelling could be, and consider the implications of casting unfriendly spells. Newt was extremely loyal to Dumbledore, because when he appealed to his travel ban, he lied to the committee members that he had gone to the United States on his orders. Affiliation 168 lbs (1997)[4]175 lbs (formerly) (1932)[10] Eye colour Rubeus Hagrid: his friend, colleague, and former student. It is likely that Dumbledore knew and fought other Death Eaters during the Wars and attended their trials if caught. After all the stress and pain that was put on the fifteen-year-old's shoulders for an entire year, coupled with the loss of his godfather, Harry finally snapped and began destroying Dumbledore's possessions in an incredible rage. An example of this was in The Cave, when knowing that the Potion would cause him severe pain and distress without knowing exactly what would happen to him, Dumbledore did not hesitate to drink it. This same jinx prevented any teacher from lasting more than twelve months at the post, sometimes with fatal results. During the Battle in Lestrange family Mausoleum, a vial of Dumbledore's and Grindelwald's blood pact was stolen from Grindelwald, however, without his knowledge by a Niffler belonging to Newt Scamander. He later gave Harry advice and left his portrait once more. Patronus Harry Potter later named his second son, Albus Severus Potter, after him. It is very likely that he also had a good relationship with Charlie. Harry used a small cut on his arm to reopen the hidden doorway, and once outside the cave they Disapparated back to Hogsmeade. For years, Harry had a rivalry with Severus Snape. Fenrir Greyback was a savage werewolf who seemed to have had dealings with Dumbledore in the past, as Dumbledore was shocked that he, of all people, had come to Hogwarts the night that the Death Eaters entered the Astronomy Tower. [64], Having sensed his underlying decency of instinct despite his disregard for the school rules and, more importantly, fully recongised that there had been no malintent on his part when he had triggered the safeguards of the vaults, having done so on accident, Dumbledore was very lenient with the boy. [46], Albus creating a fire storm to ward off the attacking Inferi, Harry then attempted to summon water for Dumbledore with the Water-Making Spell, but this proved ineffective as the cavern was enchanted to vanish summoned water.
