"Albus Dumbledore
was never proud or
vain; he could find
something to value in
anyone, however
apparently
insignificant or
wretched, and I
believe that his early
losses endowed him
with great humanity
and sympathy. I shall
miss his friendship
more than I can say,
but my loss is as
nothing compared to
the wizarding
world's. That he was
the most inspiring
and the best loved of
all Hogwarts
headmasters cannot
be in question. He
died as he lived:
working always for
the greater good, and
to his last hour, as
willing to stretch out
a hand to a small boy
with dragon pox as
he was on the day
that I met him."Professor Albus
Percival Wulfric
Brian Dumbledore,
Grand Sorc., D. Wiz.,
[6] X.J.(sorc.),[6] S. of
Mag.Q.,[6] Order of
Merlin - First Class,
(July or August, 1881–
30 June, 1997) was
the Transfiguration
Professor, and later
Headmaster of
Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Professor
Dumbledore also
served asSupreme
Mugwump of the
International
Confederation of
Wizards(?–1995) and
Chief Warlock of the
Wizengamot (?–1995;
1996-1997). He was a
half-blood wizard, the
son of Percival and
Kendra Dumbledore,
and the elder brother
ofAberforth and
Ariana. His father died
in Azkaban when
Dumbledore was
young, while his
mother and sister
were later
accidentally killed. His
early losses greatly
affected him early on,
even at his death, but
in turn made him a
better person. Albus
Dumbledore was
considered to be the
most powerful
wizard of his time. He
was most famous for
his defeat ofGellert
Grindelwald, the
discovery of the
twelve uses of
dragon's blood, and
his work on alchemy
withNicolas Flamel.
It was through
Dumbledore that
resistance to the rise
ofLord Voldemort
was formed, as it was
he who founded and
led both the first and
secondOrder of the
Phoenix. Due to the
fact that he had a
keen mind and
legendary power,
Dumbledore became
the only wizard that
Voldemort ever
feared. He was the
wielder and the
master of theElder
Wand from 1945 until
1997 and considered
by many as the
greatest Headmaster
to ever grace
Hogwarts. As he was
about to die by a
cursed ring, he
planned his own
death withSeverus
Snape. Though he was
no longer alive at the
time, it was through
Dumbledore's
machinations that
Voldemort was
ultimately defeated
and peace restored to
thewizarding world.
He is the only
Headmaster that was
laid to rest at
Hogwarts. Albus
Dumbledore's portrait
still remains at
Hogwarts.
