Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts. Dumbledore is also the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation dedicated to fighting the evil Lord Voldemort.
As a supremely talented wizard, Dumbledore displays extraordinary powers. He is the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever truly fears. This is despite his friendly nature; he often uses humour to make people feel comfortable in his presence. Dumbledore goes head-to-head with Voldemort, holds off an army of bewitched dead bodies called ‘inferi’, and knocks out several officials of the Ministry of Magic in a split second. Later he dies, but remains a looming presence even after his death.
Rowling gives a distinct picture of Dumbledore’s appearance. He is tall, lean and has a very long and crooked nose that looks as if it has been broken at least twice. His silver beard is so long that it can be tucked into his belt. His eyes are a soul-piercing shade of blue that usually twinkle with kindness and mischief. His fingers are long and skilful. Dumbledore wears half-moon spectacles and a colourful array of robes, ranging from purple to bright orange.
Dumbledore plays a significant role in Harry’s life. Dumbledore is like his godfather and constantly reminds Harry that love is the greatest magic of all. This great wizard himself had a great capacity for love and he believed in the good in everyone. He is also not hesitant to give a second chance to people.
