	Albus Dumbledore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dumbledore's extraordinary magical talents were apparent from an early age, as later described by the elderly Griselda Marchbanks, Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, who had personally examined the school-age Dumbledore for his NEWT exams in Charms and Transfiguration.
		Dumbledore does not give importance to the so-called "purity of blood" and believes that an individual's choices reflect his character rather than his birth, blood, or family, saying "it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." Voldemort angrily refers to Dumbledore as "champion of commoners, muggles and mudbloods.".
		Dumbledore was twice dismissed from his position as Headmaster, the first time during Harry's second year at Hogwarts, when Lucius Malfoy persuaded the school's twelve governors to remove him in the wake of attacks by a basilisk on people in the school.

		Dumbledore was twice dismissed: During Harry's second year at Hogwarts, Lucius Malfoy "persuaded" the twelve governors of the school to vote for his dismissal as more and more attacks were occurring (a basilisk was petrifying people in the school).
		When Dolores Umbridge discovered it, Albus Dumbledore took responsibility for its creation in order to protect Harry Potter and the other students -- however he refused to be arrested, and escaped after stunning all the Ministry employees in the room.

	HPL: Albus Dumbledore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Dumbledore is an old English word for bumblebee, according to JKR, who says that she imagines him wandering around the castle humming to himself.
		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.
		Dumbledore did not work on the Philosopher's Stone with Flamel, or more precisely, he didn't work on the Stone which has kept Flamel alive for six hundred years (since Dumbledore wasn't born yet when that Stone would have had to have been created).

	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).
		Dumbledore knew he needed to be at Hogwarts and not the ministry, that Hagrid was innocent, that Sirius was equipped to handle Azkaban and so much more.
		When Dumbledore was the yound Ron he had a different headmaster and it was under his leadership that Harry endured through all the hardships and dangers as we know it.

	Dumbledore's Triumph
		Dumbledore is the one you'd least expect to turn evil.
		It also was confirmed by Voldemort of how much he hated Dumbledore, and that Dumbledore had conjured up an Ancient Magic to protect Harry while he was at the Dursleys, and is keeping a close watch on Harry at school to protect him.
		Dumbledore certainly isn't a bad guy because he had been working very hard against Voldemort, and at the the end of book 4, tried to have everybody unite together and form a plan to stop Voldemort.

	Snape & Dumbledore - The Sugar Quill
		Both Dumbledore and Voldemort are powerful, brilliant men and capable leaders, who know how to read the emotions of their followers reasonably well, provide structure, belonging, and a cause to their followers.
		Dumbledore offers something greater, he offers Snape a chance to redeem himself, and to prove that he deserves better than the loathing and derision of his peers.
		Which could prove invaluable Dumbledore, who is planning out the large-scale defense of the wizarding world and may not thoroughly think through the details of his plans.

	Dumbledore
		So by his names, JKR is telling us that Dumbledore is a white, pure, wise, strong, miracle working, prophecying butterfly.
		I agree with ProfCrash for observing that Dumbledore has ulterior motives for his actions, and there are probably multiple layers to his reasoning.
		Recognizing that error, Dumbledore must now be resigned to "spend" Harry as he would any other of his pieces in his chess match against Voldemort.

	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.
		Moreover, it has sometimes been applied in English dialect to a far less pleasant insect, the cockchafer (also called the May bug), a considerable pest of crops; it’s a large beetle that flies very haphazardly with a loud buzzing sound.

	All powerful Dumbledore?
		In appearance and dress, one might easily mistake Dumbledore for Merlin of Arthurian legends or Obi-Wan Kenobi of Stars Wars.Gandalf, the wizard of J. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series could be a twin brother, right down to the fiery eyes.
		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.
		It is possible, even likely, that Dumbledore has a larger plan for the defeat of Voldemort.That design could very well call for a one-ON-one duel between himself and the Dark Lord, as a prelude[or post-lude] to a final conflict between Voldemort and Harry.

	Discussion: Michael Gambon as Dumbledore
		His Dumbledore is more of a hippie, but I think that this works for the character.
		I've always seen Dumbledore as a "calming to the storm" in Harry's life, and Harris seemed to play Dumbledore as though he had a genuine caring for Harry.
		He couldn't be both Gandalf AND Dumbledore, no matter how gifted of an actor he is. (I must admit, however that I thought he should have been the replacement for Harris.) On that subject, Harris was an INCREDIBLE DD in the first 2 movies.

	HTOT: Speculation, discussion on Dumbledore's Look of Triumph
		A plot twist is one thing, but to throw away a character's being to start a new one with the same name is not a plot twist.
		This may, however, stem from the fact that Dumbledore knows more about this than Voldemort, and that there will be bad side effects from his use of Harry's blood.
		I think he knows a lot more about why Harry is so special (aside from being the boy who lived) and he (Dumbledore) knows that Harry has to have certain challenges and experiences to develop his full potential.

	Saruman, Dooku, ...Dumbledore? - The Sugar Quill
		Certainly he's a very good actor; and of course it would be an amazing trifecta, for one guy to play significant roles in the three major ongoing fantasy epics of our time.
		As I recall, when the news broke that RH was in hospital with pneumonia, they said his double was 80% likely to get the role for PoA.
		Btw, if PoA is to start filming in February of next year, I don't see how Lee could play Dumbledore, as SW Episode 3 will start filming in the summer (he will definitely be back as Dooku).

	Meet Harry's New Dumbledore - Dec 30, 2002 - E! Online News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Contrary to rampant tabloid reports over the past several days claiming the current Gandalf portrayer would pull double wizard duty as Hogwarts' Professor Albus Dumbledore, E! Online has learned that another acclaimed British thespian has in fact been tapped for the role vacated by the death of Richard Harris.
		But McKellen never seriously considered the role (he's already done the franchise thing with The Lord of the Rings and X-Men) and producers ultimately went with Gambon, a classically trained actor who studied with Laurence Olivier and whose credits include Gosford Park, The Insider and the lead in the British miniseries The Singing Detective.
		Although the exact terms of Gambon's deal are not known, he'll presumably play Dumbledore in the remaining Potter films.
