From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (born 1881), is a character in the Harry Potter novel series by J.K. Rowling. Dumbledore also appears in all five film adaptations. Dumbledore in the series is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for most of the series, and is a leading character for most of the series in the fight against Voldemort. Dumbledore is described as tall and thin, with long silver hair that looked long enough to tuck into his belt and a long beard.

He is famous as an alchemist who has worked with Nicolas Flamel, the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone, and is credited with discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood. He is known to be able to conjure Gubraithian Fire (magical everlasting fire). He holds the Order of Merlin, First Class, for Grand Sorcery. He is also the Chief Warlock on the Wizengamot (wizard court) and Supreme Mugwump for the International Confederation of Wizards.
