Albus Dumbledore - A tall, thin man who wears half-moon spectacles and has silver hair and a beard that tucks into his belt, Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts and Voldemort's only feared enemy. In addition, Professor Dumbledore is the former head of Gryffindor House, former Transfiguration professor, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and Grand Sorcerer. wise head of Hogwarts. Though he is a famous wizard, Dumbledore is as humble and adorable as his name suggests. While other school officials, such as Professor McGonagall, are obsessed with the rules, Dumbledore respects them (as his warnings against entering the Forbidden Forest remind us) but does not exaggerate their importance. He appears to have an almost superhuman level of wisdom, knowledge, and personal understanding, and it seems that he may have set up the whole quest for the Sorcerer’s Stone so that Harry could prove himself.
