'''''Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore''''' was the Headmaster of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], a Grand Sorcerer decorated with the Order of Merlin, First Class; also Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wizengamot|Wizengamot]]. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] describes him [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|at one point]] as "barking." Non-British readers should be aware that this adjective is commonly used in England to modify the word "mad", but without the negative connotations of the word "raving" that is similarly used in the US. Someone who is "barking mad" in the UK is fully functional, but exhibits a very high degree of harmless eccentricity.

<!-- Note to prospective editors: This is a children's book. Dumbledore's sexual orientation affects only his interaction with Grindelwald, and that only to a minor degree, so it will be covered in the Greater Picture section only. Attempts to sensationalize this matter will be reverted. --> <!--Just FYI: I am expanding this section and will be discussing Grindelwald and Dumbledore's relationship, but only as it relates to the book. However, I may be adding some comments on his orientation in the "Greater Picture" section, where it belongs, but not in great detail, as it has little impact on the overall story. Also, as far as I know, Rowling said she only "thought" of Dumbledore as being gay, not that he actually was. -PNW Raven-->

 

 

Throughout the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore has acted as a trusted mentor to Harry, and, in this way, has contributed greatly in Harry's victories over Voldemort.

There is insufficient information about wizards' typical lifespans, but Dumbledore, when he is around 110 years, is described as appearing old, and he appears more aged than most other characters in the books. Only Nicolas Flamel is explicitly described as being older at 665 years old, though Elphias Doge attended school with Dumbledore and should be the same approximate age. Also, Bathilda Bagshot saw Dumbledore's mother Kendra as a contemporary and thus was likely older than Dumbledore. In addition, Griselda Marchbanks said she "Examined him personally in Transfiguration and Charms when he did N.E.W.T.s...", which means she had at least graduated from Hogwarts at the time. Professor Tofty is mentioned to look like "the very oldest and baldest examiner", which means he could possibly be even older than Professor Marchbanks. Flamel ultimately died after surrendering the Philosophers Stone (also known as the Sorcerer's Stone), which preserved his life, to prevent it falling into Voldemort's possession. Flamel shared the Stone with Dumbledore, but it is unknown to what extent, if any, it may have been responsible for extending Dumbledore's life.
