| | Albus Dumbledore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dumbledore is widely famous as a legendary alchemist who has worked together with Nicholas Flamel, the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone, and is credited with discovering the twelve uses of dragon blood. | | | The name Albus is from the Latin word albus ("white"), a frequently used symbol for good; "Dumbledore," which means "bumblebee," was picked by the author because she imagines him humming while strolling along the halls of Hogwarts. | | | Dumbledore is shown in many scenes passing on important information to Harry, and giving him final preparations to face Voldemort. |

| | Dumbledore's Triumph |
| | Explanation one: Dumbledore is not the same Dumbledore we used to know and love. | | | Dumbledore is the one you'd least expect to turn evil. | | | This makes more sense the Ashley's story, since Dumbledore is good, and has been fighting against Voldemort the whole time. |

| | unplottables: Ron is not Dumbledore |
| | And...if Dumbledore was Ron, and in fact knew how this all exactly turns out, I think he'd have learned from his mistakes (such as assigning Snape to work on occlumency with Harry...and all that followed to lead to Sirius's death). | | | Ron = Dumbledore is a cute theory in an "awwww" kind of way, but none of the arguments I have read by the supporters seems to be anything more to me than grasping at straws. | | | In addition, Dumbledore would have to live to explain it (since the books are told from Harry's POV). |

| | Severus Snape: Dumbledore's Man at Heart |
| | So Dumbledore's reason for trusting Snape may be a bit awkward by our standards, but the part about showing remorse appears twice in the book, and it works in my favor. | | | Dumbledore a potion that pains him so much he begs for death. | | | This man is probably the only one who ever took a chance with him, and he was forced to kill him by his own hand. |

| | Albus Dumbledore |
| | Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick were there, along with Filch, the caretaker, who had taken off his usual brown coat and was wearing a very old and rather moldy- looking tailcoat. | | | Dumbledore backed out of the room, closed the door, and took out his wand to magically lock it. | | | He had a shrewd suspicion that Dumbledore might have stepped in to stop Snape failing him on purpose. |

| | Albus Dumbledore |
| | Harry was just thinking that all he needed was for Dumbledore's pet bird to die while he was alone in the office with it, when the bird burst into flames. | | | It was common knowledge that he was always begging Dumbledore to let him suspend students by their ankles from the ceiling. | | | Not only were there a dozen frost-covered Christmas trees and thick streamers of holly and mistletoe crisscrossing the ceiling, but enchanted snow was falling, warm and dry, from the ceiling. |

| | Snape & Dumbledore - The Sugar Quill |
| | I think Snape respects Dumbledore for many reasons, but the greatest is that Dumbledore offers him what Voldemort offered him, only Dumbledore's offer is one that allows Snape to do what, at his core, he knows to be right. | | | Dose Harry not know these things for a reason because the only reason Dumbledore give Harry is that its a matter between Snape and Dumbledore and none of Harry's bissness. | | | spoke as if he himself was unaware of the exact circumstances behind Snape’s return and that Dumbledore’s word was all that was needed for Snape’s pardon. |

| | Discussion: Michael Gambon as Dumbledore |
| | His Dumbledore is more of a hippie, but I think that this works for the character. | | | I agree with minister_for_magic that Ian Mckellan would be a good Dumbledore. | | | If anyone could portray Dumbledore the way I picture him other then Richard Harris it would be Ian McKellen. |

| | Saruman, Dooku, ...Dumbledore? - The Sugar Quill |
| | Now one person I did think of that I suspect would make a very good Dumbledore is Richard Briers, if he'd be interested. | | | When I think of Dumbledore's personality, I think of him... | | | I LOVE Christopher Lee, but I have to say, if he becomes Dumbledore, every time I look at the sceen and see him, I will always think, "Dooku." |

| | AncientWorlds > Rome > Ex Libris > Children’s Literature > Speculation on Harry Potter Book 6 > Dumbledore | | | I agree with ProfCrash for observing that Dumbledore has ulterior motives for his actions, and there are probably multiple layers to his reasoning. | | | Anyway, all of the names have positive meanings, as opposed to names like "Draco," which can mean dragon, or snake that turns into a dragon. |

| | Dumbledore's Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This move was widely unpopular among the student body, causing Hermione Granger to suggest the founding of a new student group where Harry Potter (who had accumulated quite a lot of experience on the subject) would teach all those interested in practical Defence Against the Dark Arts. | | | Dumbledore then managed to escape, without much difficulty, from two Aurors who were accompanied by the Minister of Magic, Percy Weasley and Dolores Umbridge. | | | In her Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, Hogwarts professor and High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge decided to teach only theory because her boss, Cornelius Fudge feared that Albus Dumbledore was preparing to mobilise an army of students against the wizard government. |

| | All powerful Dumbledore? |
| | Dumbledore, as his wizard card tells us, 'is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945'.Defeating a Dark Lord, is no child's play, so Dumbledore must be an accomplished fighter. | | | We do not guarantee the occurrence of any event in the 5th book, these are mere assumptions. | | | In any case, he knows more secrets than he has divulged so far, and will reveal his intentions only on his own schedule. |

| | Weird Words: Dumbledore |
| | Its first part is one of a set of rhyming words from English of some centuries ago, the others being bumble (from a root meaning to drone or buzz) and humble (from an old Germanic word meaning to hum). | | | To some extent all imitate the insect’s buzz; the final dore of dumbledore is an Old English word for any insect that flies with a loud humming noise. | | | Charlotte M Yonge used our word in The Daisy Chain, published in 1875: “Those slopes of fresh turf, embroidered with every minute blossom of the moor—thyme, birdsfoot, eyebright, and dwarf purple thistle, buzzed and hummed over by busy, black-tailed, yellow-banded dumbledores”. |
