After being cursed by Marvolo Gaunt's ring and ordering Snape to kill him, Dumbledore finally granted him the Dark Arts post, knowing that if Snape were to kill him he would be vilified by the wizarding public and forced to resign. In 1996, Dumbledore was cursed by putting on Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, which was a Horcrux (he put it on when he was distracted by finding out that it was the Resurrection Stone, hoping to talk to his dead family). He managed to contact Severus who was able to contain the curse in his right hand. However, Snape knew and told Dumbledore that the curse would get stronger and stronger and eventually kill him painfully, giving him a prognosis of about a year. By this time Dumbledore was aware of Voldemort's plan to kill him through assigning Draco Malfoy by threatening to kill his parents.
Tragedy and friendship
While not having the vial destroyed, he made sure that the wizarding world would survive Grindelwald's reign of terror by providing whatever intellectual and possibly magical assistance he could. Upon finding each other, Dumbledore and Grindelwald initiated a legendary duel of 1945, unleashing all of their extraordinary magical capabilities on each other, the display being so amazing that it remains among the greatest magical battles ever in history. Dumbledore eventually triumphed in the end, despite Grindelwald's mastery of the Elder Wand, becoming the wand's new master and he then brought in Grindelwald to the authorities of the magical world, who imprisoned him in his own prison Nurmengard. They were great friends and lovers for two months until Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother, confronted them over the neglect of Ariana Dumbledore.

It was speculated by Harry Potter that Grindelwald had given his life to prevent Voldemort from desecrating Dumbledore's tomb. Harry first discovers this device to witness Dumbledore's memory of Igor Karkaroff's trial before the Wizengamot, and also uses it to view Severus Snape's memories of childhood. During the private lessons between Harry and Dumbledore, the Pensieve is used to view a variety of memories about Tom Riddle's past. Considered to be the most powerful wizard of his time, Dumbledore was benevolent and wise, a good wizard in the style of Merlin. He almost constantly gave off an aura of serenity and composure, rarely displaying intense emotions of anger or fear. He was known for typically speaking in a calm, collected voice, being reasonable and kind, but firm.

Go, Go Gryffindor!
But that does not mean that other Houses hadn't produced any; Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor, and Quirinus Quirrell was a Ravenclaw. Before he died, Richard Harris was determined to appear as Dumbledore for a third time, going so far as to tell David Heyman, a producer on the series, not to recast the role. Sadly, time was not on his side, and Harris passed away before getting the chance to film Prisoner of Azkaban, so a new actor was needed.
Their fight eventually reaches a stalemate as their wands are at each other's face and their hands at each other's heart, with Grindelwald abruptly fleeing afterwards. Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts victoriously and continued to teach his students until Torquil Travers, having had enough of Dumbledore's anonymity, demanded he face Grindelwald directly, as Grindelwald had already proven himself to be far too powerful for anyone but him. However, Dumbledore refused still and enraged Travers to where he cuffed him with Admonitors and forbade him from teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts anymore. He then advised Theseus and Leta, telling the former to be reasonable and try to not kill discriminately and the latter to make peace with her guilt. As Albus continued to advance the knowledge of the wizarding world, he eventually caught the attention of his old school and was asked to return to Hogwarts as a teacher, which Albus happily agreed to do. He decided to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, knowing that he will inevitably have to engage Grindelwald and burdened by the secret knowledge of Grindelwald's imminent rise to power and the guilt of failing to pursue him, seeking to at least prepare the world for Grindelwald's inevitable rebellion.
Gryffindor’s values – courage, bravery, and a strong sense of right and wrong – not only shaped Dumbledore’s character but also guided his decisions and leadership style throughout his life. After graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore’s career was marked by a steadfast commitment to fighting for justice and protecting the wizarding world from dark forces. This was evident in his opposition to dark wizards like Grindelwald and Voldemort, where he demonstrated not just magical prowess but also moral courage. His Gryffindor traits were instrumental in forming alliances and inspiring others, a quality that made him a natural leader and a revered figure in the wizarding community. Dumbledore was very saddened by their deaths, and dedicated the rest of his life to protecting their son, Harry.
Dumbledore and his friend Nicolas Flamel (the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone) began to suspect that the disembodied Dark Lord was plotting to steal the invaluable object, which would be capable of restoring him to full power. Dumbledore had the stone moved to a medium security vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but later had it moved to Hogwarts itself; coincidentally, on the same day that an attempted break-in was made upon the vault. It was retrieved by Hagrid, who was also taking Harry to buy his school supplies. Following the global wizarding war, regardless of Aurelius's fate, Dumbledore became most famous for defeating Grindelwald in what was considered to be the most epic duel of all time. He also gained much more recognition with his involvement in the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood and his work on alchemy with Nicolas Flamel.
Fawkes was willing to take a Killing Curse in order to protect Dumbledore and did so in order to defend him from Lord Voldemort. As he had no way to prove Sirius's innocence, despite being Chief Warlock and having the power to give him a trial, Dumbledore compensated by helping Hermione and Harry save Sirius from the Dementor's Kiss, and to escape from his Ministry captors, by means of a Time-Turner and Buckbeak. Vernon and Petunia were likely indignant at Dumbledore's remarks, although Petunia, at least in Harry's eyes, responded to Dumbledore's chastisement by looking rather flustered.
The three wizards had an argument, which escalated into a full-scale duel and Ariana was killed in the crossfire. Her tragic death would have an immense effect on both brothers, and would forever scar their relationship. Its corresponding element is earth, and one of its original students, Hengist of Woodcroft, founded the wizarding village of Hogsmeade near the Hogwarts Castle grounds.
He befriended a young Elphias Doge on his first day at Hogwarts; Doge was suffering from the aftermath of Dragon Pox at the time (greenish skin and pockmarks), which discouraged most from approaching him. Dumbledore, however, demonstrated his uncommon kindness and willingness to look past the surface and find inner beauty in people. Dumbledore also became very well-connected during his Hogwarts years, making notable friends such as Nicolas Flamel, Bathilda Bagshot, and Griselda Marchbanks, who marked him in his N.E.W.T.s for Charms and Transfiguration and later recalled that he did things with a wand that she had never seen before. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was born on August 3, 1881, in the mainly wizarding village of Mould-on-the-Wold in western England, to Percival Dumbledore. The early years of Dumbledore's life were marked by tragedy when his younger sister, Ariana Dumbledore, was attacked by a group of Muggle boys, who saw her performing magic and were frightened by what they saw.
It is confirmed when the object is inherited by Ron that the Deluminator is of Dumbledore's own design. Dumbledore is the possessor and master of the Elder Wand, an extremely powerful object known also as the "Wand of Destiny" or the "Deathstick", and one of the Deathly Hallows Unlike many of the wand's previous owners, Dumbledore keeps its identity a closely guarded secret. It is revealed in that two of Fawkes' feathers form the magical cores of both Harry's and Voldemort's wands. It was decided that only students of age would be allowed to enter their names to the Goblet of Fire, because of the dangers the tournament represented, and Dumbledore personally drew an Age Line around the magical artifact to ensure that this rule would be impossible to break. During this year, Dumbledore employed his old friend, Alastor Moody, an ex-Auror, as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. As Harry was learning to trust his friends, his power and his instincts, Dumbledore had begun the hunt for Tom Riddle’s Horcruxes and discovered that he wasn’t immune to the lure of the Deathly Hallows after all.
The curse quickly spread, and were it not for his own prodigious talents, he would have died within moments. Despite this injury, Dumbledore proceeded to destroy the ring, and with it, a piece of Voldemort's soul bring Voldemort that mush closer to defeat. Before the beginning of the new school year, the first Death Eater activity in years broke out at the Quidditch World Cup, causing Dumbledore to suspect that the second rise of Lord Voldemort was near. It was decided that only students of age would be allowed to enter their names to the Goblet of Fire, because of the dangers the tournament represented, and Dumbledore personally drew an Age Line around the magical artefact to ensure that this rule would be impossible to break.
Over a series of nights, Harry Potter proceeded to visit the Mirror of Erised as often as he could to see his parents' faces. Dumbledore found Harry visiting the mirror one night, and after explaining to Harry what the mirror was all about, told him that the mirror was to be moved and requested that Harry not go looking for it. Before heading back to bed, Harry asked Dumbledore what he saw when he looked into the mirror. Dumbledore claimed to see himself holding a pair of thick, woollen socks, telling Harry that "one can never have enough socks."[8] However, Dumbledore was joking — the matter being a very personal one.
