WARNING, SPOILERS:
Full name Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore. Born around 1840-46, died 1997. Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in the novels by Jo Rowling. Named for the Latin for white, and an Anglo-Saxon term meaning "bumblebee", as Rowling imagined the old man humming about the school. Headed the Order of the Phoenix in both its incarnations. Campaigned for the truth about the evil Voldemort to be known, but was unimpressed by his power and pretensions; addressed Voldemort simply as "Tom" (Marvolo Riddle) whenever they met. Killed for reasons Harry Potter does not at first comprehend, but as for the question of whether we see him again, hey, this is Hogwarts, remember? Recently outed by author Rowling as gay (!!! go Jo !!!); his greatest mistake was to fall in love with Gellert Grindelwald. Wise old man who has come by his wisdom in that hallowed academy, the School of Hard Knocks. Warm, friendly, fierce when necessary, had style, truly unforgettable. Played in the movies by the late great Richard Harris (years 1&2), and subsequently by Michael Gambon. At once among the finest wizards and finest gay characters to grace the pages of fiction.

Albus Dumbledore. The only wizard Voldemort ever feared.
"Exactly", said Dumbledore, beaming once more. "Which makes you very different from Tom Riddle. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, page 245, Bloomsbury ed.
"You mean he was weak!", screamed Voldemort. "Too weak to dare, too weak to take what might have been his, what will be mine!"
"No, he was cleverer than you", said Harry, "a better wizard, a better man."

Dumbledore is the ex-headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the only one who Voldemort ever feared. He is around 150 years old, and is the most powerful wizard in the world at this time. He has worked at hogwarts from before 1945-1996. He can speak many languages, and is known for finding the 12th use of dragons blood. He is friends with an ancient alchemist, Nicholas Flamel, rumored to be the creator of the "Philosopher's Stone" which can turn any metal into pure gold, and can create the elixer of life, which will render the drinker immortal for a specific amount of time. He has been asked to be the minister of magic many times, but he enjoys his life at hogwarts too immensely to even consider that.
