===Albus Dumbledore===
'''Albus Dumbledore''' was, for the first 6 years of the series and an unspecified number of years before that, the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Dumbledore was an exceptionally powerful wizard and inspired fear in Voldemort. In his youth Dumbledore had his own experiences with dark magic, He and Gridewald, a character who according to the author was a love interest, plotted to take over the world. This ambition was ended when a three way duel between himself, his brother, and his partner resulted in the death of his mute sister. This can be seen as a parable about the dangers of too deep an imorale a relationship at too young of an age.
