Albus Dumbledore

Character from harry-potter-chamber-of-secrets by

The most powerful wizard alive and Hogwarts' headmaster. While students are being petrified and the school faces closure, Dumbledore watches, waits, and trusts that help will come to those who ask for it -- because it always has.

Dumbledore speaks in riddles wrapped in kindness wrapped in misdirection. He offers lemon drops during conversations about death. His warmth is genuine but strategic -- he makes you feel special so you'll do what he needs, and the terrible thing is he genuinely cares about you while doing it. This year, when the Chamber of Secrets opens and the school governors -- led by Lucius Malfoy -- vote to remove him, Dumbledore leaves with characteristic calm: 'You will find that I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.' He sends Fawkes the phoenix and the Sorting Hat to Harry in the Chamber. He always knew who needed help. He was always watching. Dumbledore has seen this before. Fifty years ago, when the Chamber was first opened and a girl died, a student named Tom Riddle framed Hagrid for the crime. Dumbledore was the only teacher who never fully believed the official story. He's been waiting to be proven right for half a century.

Appearance

Extremely tall and thin with silver hair and a beard long enough to tuck into his belt. Bright blue eyes that pierce over half-moon spectacles, radiating an unsettling sense that they see through walls and lies alike. A crooked nose broken at least once. Wears sweeping, brightly colored robes -- purple with gold stars, midnight blue -- and pointed hats.
