Albus Dumbledore as he appears in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Dumbledore is portrayed by the late Irish actor Richard Harris in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and
the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. When Harris died of Hodgkin's Disease in 2002,
Michael Gambon was recast as Dumbledore and portrays him in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and
the Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows:
Part 1 and Part 2. Therefore, Dumbledore is one of the 14 characters to appear in all 8 film adaptations.
[45]

Michael Gambon also voices Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.[46]

A younger Dumbledore (aged around 62) is portrayed by Harris in Chamber of Secrets and Gambon
portrays an older Dumbledore in Goblet of Fire (aged around 100) and Half-Blood Prince (aged around
57). Toby Regbo portrayed an even younger Dumbledore (aged around 18) in Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows: Part 1[47] and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.[48]

Jude Law portrays Dumbledore, at the age of around 47, in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
[49]

Prior to Michael Gambon being recast as Dumbledore, the role was offered to Sir Ian McKellen, but he
declined.

Michael Gambon's portrayal of Dumbledore is noticeably different from both Richard Harris' and from
the books'. In the books, Dumbledore is noted to have been very calm and collected in nearly all
circumstances. He has also been known to have worn a pointy wizard's cap, long majestic robes, and
have a lengthy untethered beard. However, Gambon's Dumbledore is somewhat different in that regard.
Though still calm and collected most of the time, he tends to traverse further into the emotional
spectrum of his character. This can be seen clearly in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix where he sometimes raises his voice at Harry Potter and the
students respectively. This somewhat uncharacteristic behaviour is wholly absent, however, in his
portrayals in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Gambon’s physical portrayal as Dumbledore is also slightly different, opting for a somewhat Bohemian
look, including a fez-like tasselled hat, along with long and flowing robes that seem to have subtle
Indian/Arabian influences. His beard is also tied with a thread-like chain, the ends of which feature
miniature bells. Dumbledore doesn't always wear his spectacles in the films (except the third where he
was wearing them during every on-screen appearance in that film, while in the fourth movie he wore his
spectacles at different times, in the fifth movie he wore them only during the Start-of-Term Feast and in
the sixth movie, he wore them just during the Start-of-Term Feast and for a brief moment in his office
examining Tom Riddle’s diary just before Harry entered and sees Dumbledore’s memory of meeting
Riddle. Also, just after Harry is seen entering and the next shot of Dumbledore comes, his spectacles
have gone which is one of the movie’s mistakes). What can also be noted is that Gambon's Dumbledore
is far more energetic than Harris' Dumbledore which is more in line with the character from the books.
Discounting the special case of Tom Riddle/Voldemort, Dumbledore is, to date, the only major core
character in the series to be recast.

J. K. Rowling has stated that Albus Dumbledore is her favourite character in the whole series.[50]

Dumbledore does not say Harry Potter's name at all in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban. This is the only film in which this happens, although Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows: Part 1 would not count, due to Dumbledore having died near the end of the previous film and
flashbacks and voices of Dumbledore saying hints and the like.

In the early drafts of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore would not resist arrest by
the Ministry of Magic, after the discovery of Dumbledore's Army, and would've uttered: "Then to
Azkaban I must go. I trust I'm allowed a toothbrush?"[51]

In the films, Dumbledore has the distinction of being the first human character to appear in the film
series.

Both actors who have played the adult Dumbledore have been Irish. In an interview on the DVD of Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Gambon mentions that his Irish accent is quite pronounced as
Dumbledore, but no one asked him to change it. (The Irish tones of Harris' accent are less pronounced.)

In 2007, J.K. Rowling revealed that Dumbledore was gay, and harboured romantic feelings for Gellert
Grindelwald. Rowling also commented that "this added to Dumbledore's horror when Grindelwald
showed himself to be what he was." This love was caused by Dumbledore meeting someone "as brilliant
as he was." Only the subtlest of hints can be found in Deathly Hallows relating to this. Reportedly the
earliest indication of Dumbledore's orientation came when Rowling vetoed a line of dialogue in one of
the recent film scripts that would have referenced a romantic involvement with a woman.[52] Rowling
explains this further by elaborating on the motivations behind Dumbledore's flirtation with the idea of
wizard domination of Muggles: "He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think
subsequently became very mistrustful of his own judgement in those matters so became quite asexual.
He led a celibate and a bookish life."[53] Later, in the digital bonus edition of Fantastic Beasts: The
Crimes of Grindelwald, Rowling confirmed that Dumbledore and Grindelwald did indeed have a
romantic relationship in their youth, and that it was quite intense and passionate.

When asked on twitter why Dumbledore sends other people to deal with the bad guy (in this case
Grindelwald) she said he has his reasons and to be patient[54]

The published version of The Tales of Beedle the Bard reveals that Lucius Malfoy tried to assure
Dumbledore would be removed from the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts after he had ensured the
inclusion of pro-Muggle tales in the book. Dumbledore, in turn, commented that he worked hard to
make Malfoy "Voldemort's least favourite Death Eater".

In J. K. Rowling's web site Wizard of the Month archive, Albus Dumbledore was the Wizard of the Month
before Harry Potter, which was the last.[55]

Ciarán Hinds, who played Albus's brother Aberforth, claimed that Dumbledore was 123 years old when
he died.[56] This would make his year of birth 1874.

According to Rowling we will learn more about Grindelwald's and Dumbledore's past in the upcoming
films.[57]

In one interview, J. K. Rowling said that Dumbledore was a sprightly 150.[58] This is possibly referenced
in the Half-Blood Prince film, when the trio humorously speculates 150 as his age, before cracking up.

At the end of the first part of the Deathly Hallows film, it is shown that Dumbledore is buried on the
island in the Black Lake that Harry and Lupin take a stroll through in the Prisoner of Azkaban film.

Dumbledore is similar in appearance and role to Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
His resemblance to Gandalf is perhaps strongest in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince, and he also resembles Gandalf the White in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The fire attack he uses to fight the Inferi could also be compared to Gandalf's "Flame of Anor". Many
used Gandalf's supposed death (as he survived) to support their theories that Dumbledore survived, but
J.K. Rowling said to not expect him to "pull a Gandalf". Ironically, Ian McKellen, the actor who portrayed
Gandalf in both the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies, was offered the role of Dumbledore after
the death of Richard Harris, but refused due to Harris not approving of him.

In addition, Dumbledore's character also has parallels between both Gandalf and even Obi Wan Kenobi
from George Lucas' Star Wars original trilogy. All three characters possess magical abilities and serve as
principle mentors to the main protagonists of each of the respective stories (Harry Potter, Frodo
Baggins, and Luke Skywalker) guiding them on their journey to accomplish their respective tasks each
are destined for. All protagonists would later witness their mentor's demise first hand affecting them
greatly, but the latter are later able to establish communications again with their mentees, either
through visions, or being reborn (in Gandalf's case). Finally in each of the films when facing off against a
major antagonists, each mentor is taunted for being weak by being spitefully called "old man." In the
Extended Edition of the Return of the King, the Witch-king calls Gandalf that before breaking his staff. In
Star Wars Episode IV, Darth Vader taunts Obi Wan "You're powers are weak, old man" before slaying
him. Finally, in the fifth Harry Potter movie, Voldemort tells Dumbledore "You've lost old man" whilst
possessing Harry during the Duel in the Ministry Atrium.

Dumbledore and Harry Potter are also quite similar in some ways: They were Gryffindor students, they
wear glasses (Harry wears full moon and Dumbledore wears half-moon), both are half-bloods, both their
mothers were Muggle-born and both were brilliant Hogwarts students. Both also had defeated powerful
dark wizards, were talented duelists, had an affinity for magic involving love, and acted as leaders of
their own covert organisations. In addition, Harry and Dumbledore both possessed outrageous tempers
that when witnessed were great enough to cow and frighten even those closest to them.

Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood in the film series, named her cats after Harry Potter characters:
she has a cat named Luna and another named Dumbledore.

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore tells Draco Malfoy: "Years
ago I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices." There has been some debate about who he is
referring to. Possibilities include Tom Riddle, Gellert Grindelwald, Severus Snape and himself.

In addition to the portrait of Dumbledore that was hung in his office automatically after his death, a
second portrait of him was hung in several places in Hogwarts castle and could also been in the
Headmaster's office.

J. K. Rowling has said that if she could meet any character in the Harry Potter novels for dinner, it would
be Dumbledore, as she feels she would have a lot to discuss with him and she would love his advice.[59]

The LEGO version of Albus Dumbledore makes a cameo appearance in the 2014 film The LEGO Movie
alongside other characters from popular LEGO sets. In the film, he is a Master Builder and sits next to
Gandalf at a meeting of the other builders. When addressed by Vitruvius, Dumbledore becomes irritated
by his inability to pronounce his name properly. He, along with the other Master Builders was captured
by the villains and later rescued. He speaks in a high effeminate voice. It is completely unknown if he
was killed during the attack of Evil Cop's patrol to Cloud Cuckoo Land and its subsequent destruction.

While the magic used by Dumbledore to detect the traces of magic in the Horcrux cave was unknown to
Harry, it may be related to the work of Aurologists as mentioned on The New York Ghost in Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them (film).

Along with Nagini, Minerva McGonagall and Gellert Grindelwald, Dumbledore is one of four characters
who appear in both the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts film series to date.

On the Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald digital bonus features,JK.Rowling say on Albus
Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald:Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate and it
was a love relationship. But as happens in any relationship.......one never knows really what the other
person is feeling. You can't know. You can believe you know.So I'm less interested in the sexual side
though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this relationship than I am in the sense of the emotions
they felt for each other which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationships"

When asked by a fan if Dumbledore ever found true love, J.K Rowling said she always thought
Dumbledore to be gay, but after reflecting that falling in love with Gellert Grindelwald in his youth had
led him to lose his moral compass, he no longer trusted his own judgement in such matters.[52][53] As a
result, he became "quite asexual," and lead a celibate and bookish life."[53]

↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 18 (The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore)
- Dumbledore was described as being near his 18th birthday at the time he left Hogwarts. Since his
birthday did not fall during the school year (1 September – mid-June), he must have been born in the
summer, likely in either July or August, as he was still seventeen when he befriended Gellert
Grindelwald.
↑ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - The Original Screenplay, Scene 27 - Set three months
after Gellert Grindelwald's escape on 30 May 1927, describes him as being 45 years old, meaning his
birthday was in late August

to Rufus Scrimgeour and Hermione Granger, the Ministry has the right to maintain possession of
Dumbledore's bequests for thirty-one days only, in accordance with the Decree for Justifiable
Confiscation. Dumbledore's bequests were delivered to Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry
Potter on 31 July 1997: Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday. As it is referred in that chapter that the
"thirty-one days are up", Dumbledore died exactly thirty-one days earlier, in the evening of 30 June.

Writing by J.K. Rowling: "Remus Lupin" at Wizarding World, Remus Lupin became a werewolf shortly
before he turned 5 in March 1965 and Dumbledore visited him as Headmaster shortly before his
eleventh birthday. This means Dumbledore became Headmaster between March 1965 and March 1971.
