As the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not to mention his position as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Albus Dumbledore is one of the most iconic and beloved characters in J.K. Rowling’s vast Wizarding World. Viewed as one of the most powerful wizards to walk the earth, Dumbledore is most known for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald (spoilers!!!), the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon’s blood, and his work on alchemy with Nicolas Flamel.Most of all though, Albus Dumbledore is famous for his endless supply of wisdom, and his deeply emotional and inspirational advice.
