Albus Dumbledore
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (born c. 1845) is a character in the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling. Dumbledore is headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Dumbledore is described as tall and thin, with long white hair and a long beard. He has blue eyes, a very long and crooked nose (looking as if it had been broken at least twice) and long fingers. He wears half-moon spectacles. He claims to have a scar above his left knee, its provenance unknown, which happens to be a perfect map of the London Underground.
