Born in July or August in (probably) 1881, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, besides being the headmaster of Hogwarts wizarding school, was also the most powerful wizard in the world. Sorry fans of LOTR, but this is the undeniable and unmistakable truth! Known to everyone by just his surname, Dumbledore, the wizard became uber popular for his powers, of course, his wit, and a unique way of seeing the world in all of its weirdness. These traits translate into everything he has said and done, so it is no surprise that reading Dumbledore's quotes is in itself an experience. Filled with kindness and goodness, his words also do not shy away from entertainment - truly inspiring quotes for any occasion! So, prepare yourself to get lost in the world of wizards and beautiful quotes for, well, at least five minutes.
As his creator once said, Dumbledore was shaped to be a mirror image of Merlin, another wizard oriented to be an embodiment of pure goodness. Dumbledore, however, came to be that much more fun than any of his predecessors or the ones who came after him, and if these famous quotes don't prove it, you'll just have to re-read the books or rewatch the movies to jolt your memory into remembering. But hey, that truly doesn't sound that bad! And if you'd prefer to be shaken into recognition by shorter pieces of information, you could also try reading our Harry Potter quotes article that also talks about our hero quite a lot.
But, enough of mulling around with our thoughts of Dumbledore's greatness, let’s just skip right to the wizard quotes themselves, shall we? They are, as they will always be, just a smidgen further down. Once you are there, be a dear and give your vote for the most moving quote and share this article with Potterheads around you.
