Albus Dumbledore first appears on the scene as an interesting old man with a hat. In the 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling, however, he is often seen as a figure who seeks to guide and help make things come right--representation of wisdom and goodness. And, inevitably, he is not perfect: there have been questionable moments in his conduct — what he decided about Harry's upbringing, what he has kept secret in the name of helping make the greater good. You might call them all sticking points.

Yet to view him as 'bad' represents a punishment too severe. He has all the complexity of character, showing us that even heroes can have flaws. Is Albus Dumbledore a good or a bad person? This questions has got a lot of play. Well, for what it's worth, my opinion differs from those who now consider the thing settled.

Ah, the question of Albus Dumbledore's morality – it's been hotly debated among Potterheads ever since the series wrapped. Well, let me indulge you with my thoughts. From a child’s perspective, Albus Dumbledore in initial books of 'Harry Potter' series appears as the embodiment of supreme good. He's the wizarding world's example of ultimate power combined with ultimate humility—a clear force of good.

However, as the series evolves, so does his character - not all for the good. For one, his hand in the underage wizard Harry’s dangerous exploits would definitely not pass as sound judgement in the muggle world.

Furthermore, his secret-keeping habit - especially key information about horcruxes from Harry fuels his detractors. His past history with Grindelwald and his family were far from stellar too. What's intriguing in JK Rowling's portrayal of Dumbledore though, is his acknowledgement of his own flaws - his quest for power in youth, his indirect approach and so on.

Yeah, it's safe to say he's no poster child for sainthood; but terming him as 'bad', that seems a tad too harsh. He’s much more of a morally grey character, more nuanced than just 'good' or 'bad'. Quite like real people, eh?

What would you do if you've been saving yourself for your mate? Only for him to choose another Alpha Female right in your face? Reciprocate the act. Avenge. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Easier said than done. Because whenever he was around me, my body betrayed me. "Alia, do you trust me? Even just for tonight?" His voice came out low and rough that it sent shivers of pleasure direct to my core. I know I should not trust him. But my mouth and body have a mind of their own. "I trust you, Gavin..." I whispered as I pressed my back to his naked chest. He took a deep breath and dipped his head into the crook of my neck, slowly brushing his lips against my burning skin. I angled my head, giving him more access while a sultry moan escaped my throat when he started nibbling and sucking the soft spot where his mark should be. This was all wrong, but I don't want to be right this time. Just for tonight. ¨¨¨¨¨¨Book 2 of the Black Shadow Pack Series - The novel is stand-alone, however, to understand the characters deeper and the concept of The Claiming, I highly recommend that you read the first book HE'S MY ALPHA (completed).

Well, 'Harry Potter' has been my go-to series since I was a kid, and one thing I'll never forget is how shocked I was when I first read that it was Severus Snape who killed Dumbledore. J.K. Rowling had a way of playing with our perceptions, right? I remember feeling betrayed, thinking "How could Snape do that?" Yet later on, it's revealed how everything was part of Dumbledore's plan - a revelation that truly blew me away.

A multi-talented teacher was Professor Dumbledore. He doesn't teach solely sorcery and wizardry however, he also imparts many useful life-lessons about courage love, etcetera in "Harry Potter. "Before he obtained his supreme position at Hogwarts in the J.K. Rowling novel Harry Potter City And The Incredible Hallows Maid to Philanthropists Everywhere, naturally enough it was characterized by transfiguration. However, it was also a matter of the will to win (against daunting odds). is his insistence on social justice feeling "closing ranks" or what, then? Moreover people love him because he makes this clear: love in wordless tenderness will accomplish more for you and return greater benefits than any amount of spells and ritual used upon oneself or projected outwards. It's safe to conclude that his teachings made an indelible impression on Harry and his friends.

How did dumbledore get the elder wand

And how colourful is the tale of the Elder Wand! It is a wand of inspiring natural power, as the 'Harry Potter' books of J.K. Rowling has taught us. As for when our splendid Dumbledore came to have it: by winning a duel against a man named Gellert Grindelwald. Gosh, it was an extraordinary fight--said to be the greatest duel in wizarding history. Ah, if we could only be a fly on the wall--camera-like spy-scope for Salazar Slytherin--to see all that glory and peril! Even possessing the wand does not ensure victory. Known for its unpredictable blending of devotion and revulsion, the wand serves only a worthy wizard, or one who really knows what he's doing.
