Best Albus Dumbledore Quotes

Albus Dumbledore Quotes About Light, Love, Happiness, Funny, Choices, Darkness & Dreams! Albus Dumbledore is one of the most popular characters in Harry Potter’s cinema and literature, and a big part of that is because he is so clever and witty. The funny and insightful words of the Hogwarts Headmaster inspire his pupils, particularly the series’ eponymous hero, well beyond the boundaries of magical powers and wizardry.

For most of the book, Dumbledore acts as a paternal figure and a mentor for Harry, making the critical choice to send him to live with Vernon and Petunia. He would not have to grow up surrounded by popularity, which would most surely increase his already inflated ego.

When Harry first enters Hogwarts, Dumbledore assists him in learning valuable lessons about the Mirror of Erised and provides him with some implicit encouragement to transgress the rules by distributing James’s Invisibility Cloak to him. Instead of merely stopping Voldemort, Dumbledore gives Harry enough knowledge to assist him in determining how to get the Sorcerer’s Stone and battle Voldemort, as Harry deduces after the novel.

Put another way; Dumbledore pushes Harry to do the right thing even if it means violating the rules. When Dumbledore explains to Harry why he survived Voldemort’s curse ten years ago and how he got to the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry understands why he would be able to get somewhere. Even though Dumbledore’s responses provide Harry with a feeling of clarity, they also hint that there is an excellent deal Harry still does not know about his and Voldemort’s connected fortunes, which are progressively unravelled in the following books.
