The Greatest...
Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is
particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for
the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy
with his partner, Nicolas Flamel.
Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and tenpin bowling.

An Old Headmaster
Over one-hundred and fifty years old Albus Dumbledore is the current
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He is the school's most respected figure, both wise and seemingly omniscient
and he always has a watchful eye on Harry and the other school's pupils.
He is one of the few figures that he who shall not be named, genuinely fears.
Dumbledore's passions include literature, alchemy and thick woollen socks

Energetic and Trustworthy
Professor Dumbledore, though very old, always gave an impression of great
energy. He had several feet of long silver hair and beard, half-moon
spectacles, and an extremely crooked nose.
He was often described as the greatest wizard of the age, but that wasn't why
Harry respected him.
You couldn't help trusting Albus Dumbledore..."
