Dumbledore Bust (Harry Potter)

There can be no doubt at all Albus Dumbledore is a highly gifted, kind, gentle, insightful and wise man – factors which no doubt led to his appointment as Headmaster of Hogwarts. This opinion is likely to be based on a respect for Dumbledore as a person and as a wizard rather than an objective study of his record as Headmaster. He is a role-model for pupils at his school – a very effective communicator, he is able to gain the respect of staff and students alike – and a Headmaster that is almost universally admired by his pupils is very rare indeed. Despite Dumbledore’s occasional mistakes as Headmaster, Hogwarts has prospered under his leadership.
