At that moment, Harry fully understood for the first time why people said Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort had ever feared. The look upon Dumbledore ’s face as he stared down at the unconscious form of Mad-Eye Moody was more terrible than Harry could have ever imagined.
Dumbledore looked very intensely at Harry for a moment, and then said, “I have a theory, no more than that …. It is my belief that your scar hurts both when Lord Voldemort is near you, and when he is feeling a particularly strong surge of hatred.”.
"It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs."
"He will only be gone from the school when none here are loyal to him."
After graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore planned to take the traditional "Grand Tour" of the world with his friend Doge. However tragedy ensued on the eve of the departure when Kendra Dumbledore was killed by an outburst of Ariana 's uncontrollable magic, leaving Albus the head of his own broken family.
Albus Dumbledore: "Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"
Dumbledore and Harry prepare to seek out the Horcrux cave. After much searching, Dumbledore eventually tracked another of Voldemort's Horcruxes to a cave that as a young orphan, he had once visited. As he had promised, Dumbledore allowed Harry Potter to accompany him to the cave and help destroy the Horcrux.
In J. K. Rowling 's web site Wizard of the Month archive, Albus Dumbledore was the Wizard of the Month before Harry Potter, which was the last. In that page, Dumbledore's death is incorrectly written as if it happened in 1996, when it actually happened in 1997.
Dumbledore's Army was an organisation formed and led by Harry Potter, in order to protect the students of Hogwarts from Lord Voldemort.
At the end of the first part of the Deathly Hallows film, it is shown that Dumbledore is buried on the island in the Black Lake that Harry and Lupin take a stroll through in the Prisoner of Azkaban film. Albus Dumbledore has a scar above his left knee which is a perfet map of the London Underground.
Dumbledore was previously the Transfiguration teacher. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore indicates that Voldemort visited him to ask for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job ten years after his murder of Hepzibah Smith, which itself occurred one or two years after Voldemort left Hogwarts in 1945.
Obviously, the Unbreakable Vow, unlike a curse or spell, is a form a magic that by definition does not rely purely on the intentions behind one’s spoken words. With all the emphasis on nonverbal spells given in this book, the Unbreakable Vow stands in bold contrast.
Dumbledore sacrificed himself to protect Snape’s position as double agent while saving Draco from com mitting an act of supreme evil. In large part, saving Draco, by whatever means possible, was a way for Dumbledore to redeem himself in his own eyes for the huge error he had made through not taking a more active and positive leadership role in Tom Riddle’s upbringing. After the trip into the Pensieve in which we see Tom leaving the orphanage for Hogwarts, Dumbledore reminisces: “‘ . . . I returned to Hogwarts intending to keep an eye on him, something I should have done in any case . . .’” ( HBP13)
By making the Unbreakable Vow under Snape’s identity, Dumbledore ensures that Snape will have to rely on his own free will when it comes to carrying out their plan. Even if both Snape and Dumbledore know that this Avada Kedavra is to be completely bogusjust a jet of green light and two words spoken without intentit would require some serious hard work and humility for Snape to come to terms with the choice to pull it off. No wonder Snape felt the need to argue with Dumbledore about his assignment, as Hagrid overheard while coming out of the forest.
Kishi loves this trope. Maito Gai is a genuine goofball, but he is a serious and dedicated mentor and the Leaf's most prominent Taijutsu master.
Bertram Cooper from Mad Men may seem like your run-of-the-mill elderly eccentric, but in reality he is just as shrewd a businessman as Don or St. John Powell. Principal Pal from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is very much a non-magical, Americanized version of early Dumbledore.
The Eccentric Mentor is an apparent contradiction, a sagacious figure who seems eccentric and possibly foolish; a font of power and respectability who acts like comic relief. Typically the Eccentric Mentor is an older male character, connected to the back story, who acts as a mentor, protector, and/or guide.
Jiraiya, one of Konoha's Legendary Sannin, and author of numerous pornographic novels. Affectionately nicknamed "Pervy Sage", he enjoys spying on naked women ("research") and is not above robbing 12 year old boys (his godson, no less) to pay for cushy hotel rooms and hookers.
Mr. Miyagi, in The Karate Kid. An elderly Okinawan man who doesn't say much and tries to catch flies with chopsticks, his training methods are odd, to say the least, including teaching Daniel the muscle memory for blocking attacks via Wax On, Wax Off.
Max Madigan from True Jackson, VP is an eccentric and often straight-up silly multimillionaire, and True's boss and mentor. President Bartlet from The West Wing, in his "Uncle Fluffy" persona. Puppet Shows.
