Albus Dumbledore was easily one of the most influential men in my life. If, like me, you’ve grown up with Harry Potter and his friends, you will know how important and amazing the headmaster of Hogwarts is. I really think he did a better job of teaching me about life in general than any of my teachers did! That’s why I’ve listed down 10 of the best quotes by Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore that certainly changed my life. Check them out and shed a tear for the most beloved literary character ever written.
1) When he taught us the importance of love
Still doesn’t stop me from crying for the dead characters in the series.
2) When he saved me and millions from facing depression
My happiness is in re-reading the entire series while drinking endless cups of hot chocolate, what’s yours?
3) When he explained the basic difference between Harry and Voldemort with just one line
Ability = Slytherin
Choice = Gryffindor
4) When he simplified something as frightening as death
That still didn’t prepare us for his death.
5) When he showed how similar he and Luna Lovegood can be in their views of life
No wonder Harry was so strangely attached to them both!
6) When he explained the power words can carry
Words can start war… words can restore peace.
7) When he made us sympathise with future Draco Malfoy a little
He always knew Draco could be bearable. Barely bearable, though.
8) When shit got real.
The mirror of erised showed Harry’s perfect world, but sadly it was a dream – the kid learnt early that reality is the preferred world to live in.
9) When he said something we should always remember before making life-changing decisions
That also includes whether or not should we order junk food or opt for a salad.
10) And last but never, ever the least….when he asked Snape this simple question.
And Snape said..
No I’m not crying, I swear I’m not. That’s just excess water coming out of my eyes. Happens all the time.
