I don’t think it’s any secret that Albus Dumbledore is arguably the greatest wizard of the age. He’s proved it time and time again. Despite being one of the most popular Harry Potter characters, always trying to protect harry, leading the order of the phoenix in the fight against Voldemort and ultimately giving his life in order to help snape gain the dark lords trust, Dumbledore didn’t exactly have a squeaky clean reputation. He actually has quite a dark past, something he’s ashamed off and something that haunts him. Dumbledore has done some awful things in his time both past and present and we’re going to look at them today. Here’s 5 truly awful things Dumbledore has done.

6. He didn't ask calmly
LMAO
🤣
PLEASE-😭😭😭
Knew someone would beat me to it, nicely done 🤣
LMAOOOO
These reasons and others are why I was so shocked when the Qilin bowed to him. I don't know that I would consider him being pure of heart.
I just think that JK Rowling doesn't know her universe anymore. Nothing she put out has made sense in the last few years ever since the cursed child she has been outta touch with her previous head cannons
Completely agree. That move felt more like a fan service then good storytelling. Honestly one of the things that makes Dumbledore great is he knows he's not pure of heart and would be corrupted by power.
he was? everything he did was for the greater good. If you look past everything he did with and for Grindelwald but he made mistakes, as everyone does.
@@raknamedsune3417 Doing things for the greater good and being pure of heart are 2 very different things. He stayed at Hogwarts for his whole career because he was afraid of what he'd do if he achieved any higher position of power. He was not pure of heart by anymeans but he knew that and kept himself in check which is a truly amazing thing to do but that just makes him self aware not pure.
@@naddarr1 Doing things for the greater good is pure hearted. He did whatever it took to stop two tyrans one of which he was in love with.
I like that Dumbledore plays with the limits of morality. He is an extremely powerful wizard that understand the intricacies of magic, he knows wizards were put on earth to face the most extreme forms of evil. And that in order to be powerful enough to succeed against darkness, all wizards must be prepared for anything. Including death. Is not that he wants to endanger students on purpose, it's just that he knows that no matter who you are or when, dark magic is right around the corner. He knows that overprotecting the students is not going to help them win the permanent war of good against evil.
Deep
Agree. He is not putting them at risk but preparing them in a controlled environment. Not the same thing
I like Dumbledore
Dumbledore was a hypocrite. He himself also wanted immorality.
wantED
I would be interested in a 'terrible things list' for all the characters. Especially Snape.
I think there is one for Snape somewhere
Yes, please!
Agreed
How about Sirius black or James Potter? I feel that fans fan girl over then refusing to acknowledge any bad notes. Did any of you know that Sirius black is actually draco Malfoy s uncle by blood?
Hermione got a pretty big list
The absolute incompetence of the philosophers stone protections always gets me.
If a bunch of 1st years can get past them, a powerful wizard would find it easy.
Why not put a fidelius charm on it
It was meant so that anyone attempting can enter but could not escape
Not even that! The main protection on it, Dumbledore's mirror charm, was perfect. It was set up so that nobody who wanted it for selfish reasons could get it. He honestly should've just put the Mirror of Erised in a Gringotts vault, maybe with some of those flying keys (with the burning and multiplying charms on them, of course. Ditto for the mirror)
I couldn't agree more about the Dursleys belonging in prison.
Facts even my mama agrees that the dursley should have been imprisoned for how they treated Harry my mom is a big Harry Potter fan so is my sister's fiance she is too
7 Dumbledore should’ve expelled James and Sirius for bullying snape
He always favoured his fellow Gryffindors. Look at the end of the first story, when he took a year long, hard worked for achievement from Slytherin at the last moment to give Potter and co extra points for breaking school rules. Definitely played favourites.
I don't think bullying is something that can get you expelled
@@lahavzaken6638 From my understanding, the punishment can varry depending on the severity of the bullying. Sirius kinda tried to get Snape killed so that would be a potential expulsion and arrest. Plus, he (Sirius) and James both constantly and relentlessly humiliated and even, I believe, physically harmed Snape which would probably warrant a suspension.
Apparently they did the same to each othrr
@@lahavzaken6638 it is when that bullying nearly kills someone. Along with the fact James and Sirius used illegal hexes
he also raised 2 generations of wizards as his pawns in the war
Well, if you count Newt, the Marauders and Harry, you are looking at THREE generations!!!
@@michaelodonnell824 wait you’re right !
@@michaelodonnell824 thats uncanon as we fans see
Problem with the List - Aberforth was not only old enough to look after himself, he was also old enough to Father a child!!!
And fathering a child while still so young just doesn't happen in real life? 😉
As long as it wasn't with a goat.
I love how they ruined aberforth character
Imagine him criticizing his brother for neglecting ariana while abandoning his own son😂
It goes under the “put the students in constant danger” header : allowing dementors to be at the school, which, if they inadvertently sucked out any of the students’ souls, would be a fate WORSE than death.
I think it was horrible leaving Harry at the Dursleys without making sure they were treating him right. I get with his mothers protection why he had to be there, but Dumbledore could have checked in on him and threatened them or something if they kept neglecting him.
Dumbledore tearing the Dursley's a new one at the beginning of HBP was very cathartic. Shame they didn't put it in the film.
What I miss on the list is: He did let Sirius Black rot in Azkaban although he KNEW for a fact that he was innocent.
He didn't know. As far as he knew, Sirius was the secret keeper. Remember that Lily and James did not tell a single soul about the switch to Peter. As far as Dumbledore was concerned, Sirius was the secret keeper and told Voldemort.
@@lahavzaken6638 I have to correct myself about stating "he KNEW". Correctly, Dumbledor must have had at least strong doubts. Doubts - first and forehand! - to imprision anybody without trial. And Sirius wasn't just "anybody". He was a prominent member of Dumbledor's own resistance. A friend of the Potters.
And look at how by contrast he treated Snape, who had been a Deatheater. So, despite all the influence he could wield, he didn't even lift so much as a finger, not even trying to investigate the "why should Sirius suddenly do this?".
Even Bellatrix Lestrange got a trial!
Which ends with the same evil: It did fit with his own plans that Sirius wasn't around and thus he was perfectly fine with him being in constant torture at Azkaban.
I'm more upset that he let Sirius live in hiding rather than use Veritaserum to prove his innocence and secure his release. Ultimately, being forced into hiding is what killed him. If he'd lived in the open, he would constantly contact Harry without subterfuge or worry of discovery, so Harry would know his godfather was okay. He'd probably have opened that package way sooner since Sirius showing up to help wouldn't have any severe consequences. Therefore he would have simply contacted him with the mirror and gone: Hey, glad you're okay, had a nightmare you were kidnapped and I panicked a little.
Sirius: Oh, I'm sorry. I'll help you fact check all your dreams so you don't get tricked into a trap.
Harry: Thanks. See you this summer after I visit the Dursleys.
Sirius: Okay. Remember, the moment the week ends I'm coming to get you out of that rathole. The reason is purely selfish of Dumbledore. He knew Sirius would reject his plan vehemently so he made sure he wouldn't be in a position to interfere. He says himself: I am the one who got Sirius killed. Because by letting him be blamed for a crime he didn't commit led to the panic Harry felt and got him killed. But instead of explaining this to Harry, he just says: 'Oh, I shouldn't have kept him cooped up' which in no way reassured Harry just so he wouldn't lose Harry's trust. In the end, Dumbledore didn't deserve Harry's faith.
@@lahavzaken6638
Dumbledore was at least as good in Occlumency as Voldemort. It was impossible for him not to realize the truth.
@@lemonzest6988
Veritaserum wasnt consieder undoubetly proof in that cases. Rowling explained it many times - a skilked wizard (Sirius was one for sure) could prepare himself to it.
I know he would just still tell the truth, but they thought he was a cunning and ruthless Deatheater.
Snape couldn't tell voldemort that Draco was truly the master of the elder wand because of the unbreakable vow he made with narcissa in book 6 he swore to protect Draco and I believe Snape would of died by knowing that voldemort would kill Draco if Snape told him and even so it's not 100% certain Snape even knew Draco was the master of the elder wand but if Snape did know then I believe he would of died by breaking the unbreakable vow
After so many years of working together Albus and Severus had become real friends. Albus was probably the only friend Snape had and the only other person he came to care about after Lily. Imagine having to kill your only remaining friend and Ally... The ONLY person that truly knows and understands you fully.... And all the time, having to hide it and having to hide how you feel and what you think and on top of everything else, put a performance for the bad guys.... Snape had a tragic fate which he embraced at the end just for the faintest hope of redemption. In the hope that he'd forgive himself and be relieved of the guilt of lily's death that he had unintentionally caused....
Indeed. The Snape haters who can't get past the surface also miss the fact that Snape is the only character in the books who has a full redemption arc that the reader actually gets to see. We only really see James Potter before his (you have a lot of his friends _say_ he was good, but you never actually _see_ it in action), and Dumbledore after, but you see Snape at his worst, at his best, and how he got to the latter.
He should have told Harry earlier about the items so they could team up and destroy them so then they can actually finish off Harry early so he doesn't have to worry about the constant threat of being attacked that would have been more reasonable then you wouldn't have all this crazy stuff happening and you would have found out that serious was a good guy they could have gotten them out much much earlier
i thought he had longer to live tho
I mean I always had a hard time believing dumbledore wasn’t also a slytherin,
Same, especially since his younger self used to lust for power. That’s a Slytherin trait, despite how Gryffindors also seek glory
You have the best channel ever you're the greatest TH-camr ever
Facts. Love that he's branching into other lore channels because I love the way he presents lore from any medium!
I would kind of have to disagree with the part about leaving Harry with the Dursleys though because while yes they were awful to Harry, wasn’t it because of some blood protection that made him untraceable to Voldemort? Wasn’t that essentially a good thing? There may have better people he could’ve left Harry with but not really a safer option
We're talking about people who could have easily driven him to suicide, so yeah, there were lots of safer options.
This is one of those things that could have made Snape great. Sometimes he made unfortunate choices, but a lot of times people screwed him over and doubted him. Causing him to not want to be with the dark side, but not accepted and supported by the good. Honestly, they failed Snape.
Remember in Philosopher's Stone when their was a troll in the dungeon and Dumbledore send the children back to there common rooms.
Yeah, the dungeon is the Slytherin common room and Dumbledore had no idea the was actually in the girls toilet.
Point is he nearly put the Slytherin's lives in danger.
8 Dumbledore should’ve destroyed the elder wand before u know who or any of the death eaters found it💀
He was too fascinated by all the deathly hallows to be rid of them. In that Harry surpassed him, keeping only the cloak.
Then draco would have never dissarmed him lol
Can you do a video about why Dumbledore picked Malfoy as a prefect?
Someone had to be picked so I don't reckon it would change much in the end. And let's remember Crabbe turned out to be much more evil individual in the final book.
I don’t think snape was worried about his reputation when he gave his memories I just think he wanted Voldemort dead
Snape wanted to redeem himself in the end. Feeling like he owed James and his love for Lilly also were reasons.
@@DANNYTHEFROG123 wanting to redeem himself and caring if others knew are two different things. I think snape was possibly the most noble character in the whole series. Yes he started off misguided and evil but his redemption took him to the complete other end and he wasn’t concerned who knew it although it was a bonus that he was redeemed publicly
@@matthewmcpherson8831 true he is also my fav character but in the end the person who had to know knew harry will tell his kids and his gen that snape was the bravest man he ever met
@@crow_g1639 oh I agree but I like to think he was not concerned about what anyone thought except lily, I think in the end he was a far better person than Harry Potter as Harry Potter
I love your Videos Dean, please never stop making them they help me get through a verry tuff time, so thanks a lott ☺️
I was thinking of not telling slughorn and other teachers riddle not being trustable after first meeting in wools care home , even when myrtle warren was killed .
What of not using the hallows to break death eaters and Voldemort ?
I think you have to examine his motives. What was Dumbledore's main, overwhelming desire? To finish off Voldemort and ensure the permanent safety of the entire wizarding world. Nothing else was allowed to get in the way of that. No one else's needs were permitted to impinge on his ability to achieve his goal. We can think of Dumbledore's youthful ability to push the feelings and needs of others away to gain his own desires as a precursor to his last achievement, the damaging of Harry, Snape and anyone else just wasn't important enough to side track him, just as his family hadn't been when he was young. I think it's just his nature to be like that and this is the reason for his success.
Snapes name wasn't tarnished. Yes at first but after the battle of hogwarts Harry names his son after Snape so I'd say it's safe to imply that Harry explained to the Wizarding world what Snape did
Dumbledore should’ve the slytheriins a lot more
Should've done what to them? Hanged them or bought them ice creams?
You know...one thing I LITERALLY never considered till now: what if the owner of the Elder Wand used it to die by suicide? What if Dumbledore had done THAT instead? Or hell, just die by any other means. He was at Death's door anyway, so why not just, like, stab himself or something? Then he wouldn't have to risk fragmenting Snape's soul.
I’ve seen a few comments about the qilin and my opinion is this what it bowed to him because his intentions are pure of heart nobody is perfect he made choices he thought was right and he wasn’t fighting for self-righteousness he was fighting for the good of others and u got to think that ceremony took place before Harry was even thought of
I think these flaws made dumbledore great. How can you undermine the person who literally laid the foundation for the dark lord to die from the grave. Killing a tyrant requires sacrifice. Some people have to die. Also i think harry being brought up by someone other than the dursleys would have made him a smug, arrogant idiot like malfoy. No matter how badly the dursleys treated harry he learned valuable lesson while living with them like you cannt always get what you want. Dumbledores flaws are the reason he is so great. He was the one who orchestrated the fall of the dark lord from the fricking grave. If some one can do that he deserves respect no matter the mistakes he made
Exactly. All he ever did was for the greater good. He made mistakes, yes. But the mistakes he made with Grindelwald are redeemed by now.
Having a loving family and being a kind caring person are not mutually exclusive.
In fact the opposite is true.
Abuse usually breeds negativity and abuse.
It would have been better to put him with a family that loved him and taught him the valuable lessons of being a good person, rather than forcing him to endure abuse and hope that would make him humble.
@@IIAnaxiezzII well... theres the slight problem of him going to school for almost all of his 7 years. And when he was home he stayed in his room. His tragic background made him a stronger person. If he came from a loving family hed be more like james
@@hassan55055 I get this is a fictional universe.
But what we’re discussing is the effects of family life on a persons personality which is a real life thing.
There’s extensive real life research on this - and all studies incontrovertibly conclude a loving family has a beneficial effect.
While abuse breeds more negativity and abuse.
It’s far more likely that giving a person a loving family will result in a moral and good person.
Although there’s no way to say for certain how a person will turn out - which is also my point.
Saying a loving family would definitely have made Harry arrogant etc is not something you can know. And all evidence and research suggests the opposite is true.
@@IIAnaxiezzII and btw this book is a little old dont u think. I didnt hear anyone complaining about it when it came out in 2007. But i suppose hating jk is the new trend now eh? If u wanna criticize this u shoudve blabbed 15 years ago. The hate on jk is the most toxic example of cancel culture istg
I have to add introducing Tom Riddle to the magical world. He used fire to seduce the young boy. He knew Tom was dangerous. He watched him closely throughout his entire school years because he didn't trust the boy. Had he left Tom in the muggle world, he'd have never learned about horcruxes. Yes, he'd have grown up to kill people, but like most serial killers, he'd eventually have either been imprisoned or killed. Instead, he went on to commit mass murder for nearly a century. Even magical, he could have been stopped sooner if he'd informed his order of Voldemort's true identity. He knew Voldemort was Tom Riddle, but told no one. Dumbledore alone is to be blame for the HUNDREDS who died because of Tom.
How was he supposed to know??? The kid was 11, he probably thought that scaring the boy would help in some way. Not to mention if he had ignored tom, he would've still been dangerous. He was extremely powerful as a child and had control of his magic.
But how revealing his true identity would help anyone? It would make Voldemort less powerful?
Voldemort relied on his reputation, yes. But he was extremly powerful.
You have a point.
Yes all of those deaths from Moaning Myrtle, to Harry’s parents, and many muggles to make the other horcurxes, and all those people at the battle of Hogwarts of course including
The Lollipop Lady !
Pretty sure Tom's also to blame for all the people Tom killed
There's a strong case for his lack of care about his students education being on the list. Not only did he willingly employ Lockhart as the DADA teacher the year after he saw Voldemort' first attempt of returning but he also couldn't find a new DADA teacher in the fifth year meaning Umbridge had to step in despite being the leader of his own Dark arts defence group, having a very suitable professor in the building in Snape or being able to teach the subject himself (A member of the order would have made more sense due to the curse on the position). I know it could all have been part of his plan to teach Harry lessons for his eventual fight with Voldemort but the lack of consideration shown in the books and movies about the other students education and how it would effect their future is just awful
He actually took advantage of the curse in the DADA to expose Lockhart as a fraud. He did even say: "There's plenty to be learnt even from a bad teacher. Like what not to do, or how not to be"
He wasn't going to hire Snape because of the curse, he needed Snape. That's why he waited till book 6 to do it
Welll what's more important?
The entire wizarding society or students' future?
@@itzspinika8225 probably the entite Wizarding World
@@emperor_msk i agree
@@emperor_msk I get that but that was more of a lesson towards Harry and the negatives of being so well known and the importance of keeping grounded, would there not have been a way for Voldemort to lift the curse as he was the one that placed it? If he knew Snape held the position I doubt he would want him to lose it after just 1 year and it could also have helped Dumbledores side because he could have used those lessons to teach things that he knew they would be coming up against in the future. Similar to the Lockhart situation I get he was teaching Harry a lesson about how authority can work against you but to me the fact nearly the entire ministry was trying to drag Harrys name through the mud would have done that
Great video!
Even stranger after this video is the fact that Kirin bowed at the end of the movie to Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts.
Yes! Love this video 💙
(I've been hoping you'd do a Dumbledore one since these started)
One of the things on that list has to be picking up his sense of fashion lol
He looked marvellous in the first two and so drab after.
Dean you are doing great with the content! I've been a long time sub! Won't be leaving!
Harry had to go to the dursleys to keep his mom's sacrifice working I'm pretty sure you know that
Nice job 👍
I'm loving this new series, Dean.
11 Dumbledore never should’ve talk to grindawald
Letting Harry pretty much figure out 90% of how to get the remaining horcruxes and how to destroy them even though he knew he was going to die, he taught him absolutely no magic to help him. He left clues but why not just tell him straight out.
Audible is a great sponsor! I just used your link for the free trial :) been meaning to get back into audiobooks- since it seems TH-cam has really cracked down on them. So glad you’re still posting. It’s been a while since I’ve seen your posts… I don’t think the algorithm is being fair to you! Looks like I got many good videos to catch up on, and 30 free days of audible, yay!!!
13 Dumbledore should’ve paid for Sirius bail
I agree
Sirius didn't have a bail... you don't get bailed for being accused of murdering 13 people and causing the deaths of 2 other people
Can you please make a video: What if halfbloods couldn't be in Slytherin? Then Voldemort and Snape wouldn't be in Slytherin.
And Letting Sirius Black rot in prison
People say he raised Harry to die, but what else should he have done? Let the baby die of exposure in a blown up house? Not have the chosen one for a war? No leader would have done differently
we all agree on dursleys to go jail poor harry potter
what about the abuse that james and the marauders did to snape! shouldn't they be arrested and jailed for it.؟
Should have been suspended twice and on the third occasion expelled.
@@kellysouter4381 agree..and that's still not good of a punishement enough for them 🤦.. they completly outcasted the kid and psychologicaly tormented him..
Off my mind here is mine
1. He used Harry as pig of slaugther
2. He was willing for the greater good with Grindelwald take over the muggles as they belived they were superior.
3. His actions blinded him and followed with his biggest regreat of killing her sister by accident.
4.He was willing to do anything to defeat Voldemort even sacrifizing others at its price(For the greater good)
5.He later regrets not being able to kill young Tom riddle when he had the chance
About the dursley one, For the protection of Harry, he had to live with the Dursley’s since lily love and all that stuff, and he did ask the Dursley’s to treat Harry as one of they’re own
Interview with the vampire was really good
Would love there to be an actual movie about Dumbledore's past.
One thing Dumbledore did wrong was ignoring young Tom Riddle. While there was the war with Grindelwald, and World War II going on, honestly... placing a magically powerful orphan with a loving family should have been a priority. Instead, he took the word of a xenophobic, frightened, drunken woman who ran the orphanage that Tom was cruel.
And maybe he was. But the fact is, he was angry, bullied, and frightened. Dumbledore's decision to leave him in the orphanage, enforcing that no one was truly looking out for Tom but Tom himself, was truly awful. Instead, Dumbledore could have prevented the boy from deciding to use all his power to hurt others.
Dumbledore's immediate reaction to Tom's stealing of trophies was to frighten and punish the boy. He could just as easily been patient, showed him care, and told him that his behavior was wrong. He could have told Tom that there was a different, better way to use his talents. He could have encouraged him in all sorts of ways. Instead, Dumbledore kept a wary eye on an eleven-year-old boy, consigning him to the trash heap of all evil.
This was another terrible wrong done by Dumbledore.
So true
That’s actually a really good point
I think Tom Riddle became the way he became because of a few reasons
Firstly he was heavily mistreated because of his magical abilities
Secondly he grew up in an orphanage where nobody cared about him
Thirdly he was still a child when the Second World War was going on and so more than likely lived through the blitz of London because being in an orphanage it is more than likely that he wasn’t evacuated to the country like most other children were
Fourth when he did finally make it to Hogwarts again nobody cared about him and nobody bothered to show him a better way to use his magic instead keeping a close watch on him because they deemed him evil
I also strongly believe that it wasn’t the love potion that made Tom unable to feel love I think it’s because practically from the moment he was born onwards nobody bothered to show him love or affection and at Hogwarts have any real friends but just people who were close to him normally for their own selfish reasons and I think that’s what made Tom become Lord Voldemort
At least Harry had the help of the Weaslies during his summer holidays Tom had no one and I think if Dumbledore had actually tried to get him out of the orphanage and into a decent wizarding Family after being accepted at Hogwarts then maybe he would’ve turned out a very different person
I do also fault Dumbledore for the rise of Lord Voldemort because he knew the circumstances that Tom Riddle was in and still chose to do nothing about it
This is going to be touchy. I hope it doesn't make people unsubcribe. A good story will have broken people doing their best.
Great video Dean and great analysis. One can add that Hogwarts doesn't value the safety of it's students (#5&4). Albus Dumbledore was a headstrong, wreckless young man headed down the path of a fascist (#3) and knowing what he knew (#2&1) there was no other choice for Harry Potter's life.
So here's how I see it..
Snapes soul was already tarnished because you don't become the 2nd hand man to Voldemort by not doing some dark things to people. I mean the guys signature spell AS A STUDENT AT HOGWARTS was septum sempra a spell worse than the killing curse that causes the victim to bleed to death. Also it's easy to say Dumbledore could have used protective magic for Harry and put him with a different family but at the time after so many deaths in the order and Voldemort finally destroyed by the rebounding killing curse as a result of Lilys love protection it was safe to assume that Dumbledore figured the best way to keep Harry alive was to double down on the spell that saved him from death. He did try to help Harry by sending Petunia a letter saying "remember your promise" and even called them out for their abusive ways infront of Harry when he visited their home in book 6. As for him wanting to take over the world even Hermione chalks that up to him being a 17 year old kid whose mother had just died and he had all of this responsibility thrusted on him. The only excuse I can make for the stone being at Hogwarts is that had it fallen into the wrong hands it could have created another dark wizard threatening the world, that and Nicholas flamell was partners with Dumbledore so he may have been the only one Dumbledore trusted. Also Dumbledore could have figured that Voldemort wouldn't come to Hogwarts originally because Dumbledore was the only person Voldemort was afraid of. As for Dumbledore keeping the school open I got nothing, maybe I have to rewatch Dumbledores big plan from the super Carlin Brothers to gather more information but as of now I have zero
ITS SECTUMSEMPRA CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT SPELL
@@hurricanessuck8070 what did you say? I can't read.. :(
Great video. I have a question that's a bit of topic but I'm curious about your opinion. Do think that a wizard will one day mix magic with science? For example when voldemort and dumbledor fought, if dumbledore knew that removing oxygen could possibly defeat voldemorys Fiendfyre would he have done it. After all I feel like removing oxygen from the surrounding area would be no difficulty task with magic
Are you referring to alchemy?
@@kellysouter4381 no I think he means actual science so employing scientific methods and thinking with magic
I know alchemy technically does this but I think he is also referring to the example he gave above which is actually pretty smart
Hard to say I honestly don’t think so because wizards still have a very mediaeval line of thinking and mediaeval habits so it’s really difficult to say
Possibly muggleborns might consider it but I don’t think so Hermione certainly never thought of that and she’s a pretty intelligent witch but I think she is more academically intelligent and not one to think outside the box but maybe in the future people like her might
Most importantly: HE DID NOT ASK CALMLY !!!
One thing I am curious about, is that I had thought that with the unforgiveable curses, you "have to want it." But Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore? Or does wanting it for a reason other than murder, for the greater good like this, when the person wants you to kill them, count?
It isn't that you "have to want them", it's that you "have to _mean_ them, Potter!"
Start 3:02 so ya can skip the ad
Tysm!!!
12 Dumbledore should’ve canceled triwizard tournament🏟
It's no surprise that he and Madam Maxime narrowly escaped without being seriously hurt or worse killed or worse... Expelled.
My understanding about how Dumbledore viewed Harry is that Harry was supposed to be raised as a sacrificial lamb, this was Dumbledore's plan after chamber of secrets and the discovery of voldemort's horacuxes and with it the idea that Harry was one of them(I believe the first year was spent making sure Harry wasn't actually a dark wizard, I mean everybody was thinking it) but Dumbledore very quickly grew attached to Harry and was torn between wanting Harry to have a normal life and ominously the greater good of The wizarding world. Knowing full well he has to choose the greater good, Harry has to die. Then Voldemort used Harry's blood in the process of making himself a new body which extended his mother's protection meaning Harry may have a way to survive. Which explains dumbledore's small smile of victory when Harry tells him.
Dumbledore's a complex character
Number 6. He didn't use a rubber while fucking Voldemort in the Ministry Of Magic.
Could someone please remind me, didn't dumbledore oredict that harry would survive the curse in the last book?
He had to stay with his aunt and uncle because his mothers love was protecting him still through her blood sister even if she did treat him poorly Voldemort could not touch him
Awesome vid :D But!! I think the worst thing Dumbledore did was transmogrifying himself into a short, squat, always angry Irishman who looked like he longed for one last pint of Rosemertas Finest when he fell :D
Mine for the list are:1.Leaves a baby on a doorstep in November when it is freezing cold with nothing but a letter. 2. Puts a valuable magical artifact in a school full of children.(Sorcerer's Stone)3.Doesn't evacuate the school when students are being petrified.(COS)
I don't think Snape's curse killed Dumbledore I think the fall killed him.
Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it!!!
10 Dumbledore should’ve used protection charms around everyone he knew maybe they still be around today🤔🧿
Dumbledore should’ve helped capture Peter
First of all I want to thank you for your videos I really like them I hardly ever leave reviewed because leaving reviews are hard for me I am mentally challenged and that makes spelling very hard so I try to use my microphone but in case you have a notice microphone can technology is very persnickety and not very nice I also sometimes get very emotional sometimes when doing something you think and that makes spending even harder so yeah I barely leave reviews because of that but anyway they want to thank you for your awesome videos and I find it sad but people will undescribe just because you say a few things that they don't like I mean I did find that really stupid that's why I find it so I'm sure that you losing lesser noise because stupid stupid reasons. They think of any other weekend and the other other than the one time you just said but I know they're in there but I do right now my brain can't think of any I do know if something that he did in fantastic beast but that is fantastic Beach and Harry Potter so I won't mention them I like to be doing for fantastic meets and then I might imagine them if you haven't anyway thank you again for your video.
haven't read harry potter in far too long so got philosopher's stone with my first credit ((: never tried an audiobook before
I am not quite sure that placing H.P. under the Dursleys' "care" was necessarily an evil thing. Yes, from a muggle/ conventional perspective they should be investigated and dealt with in a court of law; IMO, they clearly offended their duties as caregivers.
That said though, from a wizarding perspective and with the aim of protecting him until he could enter Hogwarts, it might actually have been the smart thing to do.
I mean, look how everybody reacted when he first took the train to Hogwarts and "the wizarding world" immediately noticed the mark on his forehead. That alone would have ruled out having him raised inside the wizarding community. It had to be the anonymity of the muggle masses.
In their mistreatment of H.P., the Dursleys factually hid him away. And - having to option to go toe-to-toe with his oppressors, he inadvertly learned how to be resourceful and make the best out of limited resources. Which was exactly what was needed when a teenager/ young adult is destined to stand against forces superior to him (he was not exactly Anakin or Luke or Leia ... a "Chosen of the Force (or in this case Wizardry)" in terms of raw magical power).
One should also remember that at the time of his birth/ early childhood years there were still Deatheaters on the loose.
I tend to look at it in the way that is was maybe the least appalling option.
And lily's protection charm lived through petunia
Mistreating children is illegal for a reason.
It was for the"greater good"
I have a love hate relationship with Dumbledore
Dumbledore left Harry at the Dursley's for a reason. Since Lily sacrificed herself for Harry, her protection lived on in Petunia's blood, and therefore as long as he called her house home he was safe from Voldemort.
Interesting thing; Dumbledore apparently didn't question the prophecy's source.
The magic world has lots of prophecies hanging around in a chamber; what does inspire the prophets like Trewlany? She doesn't sound like herself; is it spirits, angels?
Are these prophecies infallible?
9 Dumbledore should’ve sent Sirius to live somewhere else not his childhood home🏡👶🧒
5:30 Is that Henry/Vecna from Stranger Things?
Let go!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He knew how to manipulate, hes like a good palpatine
It’s actually a good thing that Snape was told to kill him even though Malfoy wasn’t a killer Snape had to anyways because he made the unbreakable vow which no matter how this played out Snape would still die.
The fact Malfoy was not a killer made things interesting because Voldemort didn’t know that Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore saving many lives.
I think you overestimate Dumbledore.
If he could use protective spells to protect Harry Potter he would have prevented Grindelwald from killing his Sister.
Harry had to stay at the Dursley’s for his safety.
Dumbledore didn’t even know Harry Potter was a Horcrux or knew what a Horcrux was until many years later when he saw Slughorn’s true memory.
He is biased towards Gryffindor in most of the books except Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore couldn't parley with the giants himself because his presence was required at Hogwarts & with all that was going on with the ministry, he most especially couldn't abandon his post or it would have negative backlash...
i dont think dumbledore knew harry had a part of voldemorts soul in him till goblet of fire, and he didnt realy expect him to die at least as long as voldemort was the one to try and kill him because harrys blood was in voldemort and kept lilys love protection alive, also dumbledore or snape could have known voldemort would become obsecessed with the elder wand. a comment i would like to make on the 5 worst things harry did, since the comments are turned off there, is about no#5 on that one harry was driven to anger by dumbledore who fearful of the conection harry and voldemort had ignored harry all year wouldnt let ron or herminonie (yeah i know i spelled it wrong) write to him and basicaly let umbridge run rampant. these actions also played a key part in the death of sirius black, because harry would not have gone to the dept. of mysteries had he know what was going on
He did not raise Harry to die. For all the time spent over analyzing dialogue. This but seems to always be taken at face value. Dumbledore says Harry has to die. But he knew that wasn’t true. Harry just needed to believe he had to die. That’s talked about in Harry’s near death chapter. So Dumbledore helped raise Harry to be the kind of person that would be willing to sacrifice himself, so that, in fact, he wouldn’t actually have to.
Yeah, not a great list. He was certainly very blasé with the safety of the students. But you’re being too harsh about the TriWizard tournament, and using hindsight to judge plans, when plans didn’t workout as planned.
as someone who didn't read the books. I always figured Dumbledore thought because Snape used to be a Death Eater during the first war that he probably already killed people there for one more wouldn't hurt. That way also Malfoy wouldn't be a murderer.
But I have also read something in an article...I am not sure if it is rtrue tho.
Now I can't explain this properly but just search: How Did Harry Potter survive Voldemorts killing curse in the dark forest.
And here is my explanation: (I know...You can't understand) 😆
Dumbledore left Harry to the Durley's because they are his only living family. And remember when Harry actually survived the killing curse not ones, but 2 times? . We all know it is because of Lily's love...The most powerful protection. And because Petunia and Lily share the same blood, and that Petunia actually loved Lily, I guess that's why Dumbledore left Harry there...To keep Harry protected. Now it isn't obvious to spot that just search it😭.
Why is this so hard to explain😭
The worst of the things he did was using snapes love for lily to his advantage. I hate dumbledore he's worst than dolores and voldomort. Snape is an agel, inspite of how James treated him for the love of that bitch lily he was asking dumbledore to hide them all, dumbledore had the power to do so but he didn't.
he made harry live with with the dursley to keep the protection of lily active, also it made him grow up humble instead of full of himsefe
It was pretty clear and obvious, that Dumbledore knew that Harry would survive a second time. Especially at the End of goblet of fire. But Harry had to give his life willingly in order for it to work. He is a mastermind, the smartest guy in the Wizarding world and the best wizard that ever wandered the earth to this point
In Sorceor Stone he rigged the scores so Gryffindor would win.
#5 If he hadn't move the stone to Hogwarts then Quirrell would've gotten it and Voldemort would've returned early. Closing Hogwarts would deprived the kids of their magical education for not everyone can do homeschooling. Plus take school shootings, u don't close the place down after that. Those of u who were there within ur own terrible events, I apologies in advanced if this brings up bad memories. Just proving a point. And the Triwizard Tournament, it's not just him but all those in charged that should've made it safer. #4 He must've thought that sending 2 hybrids of giants and mages would show a symbol of tolerance and acceptances. #2 Being wise and almost all known it would seem. Dumbledore must've know because of the prophecy that only Voldemort could destroy the horcux in Harry and nothing else. After all, when Harry was "mark" as his equal (the lightning bolt scar), the 2 were bound by fate, set in stone, thus u could only go through and work with it instead of against it. The Dursleys, its all part of Lily's *Sacrificial Protection* aside from Voldemort can't touch or harm him, when Petunia took him in regardless, she sealed it up for Harry to *ALWAYS* b safe from harm. #1 Another reason I think is to save Draco as Albus truly cares for all his students. He knew that Voldemort truly wanted to kill Draco as further punishment on the Malfoy family, he was set up to intentionally fail since Draco was no killer. So having Snape make the Unbreakable Vow to protect him and do the job would save his student.
Oh he has the comments on on this one 😂
I noticed that. The last couple were off. I think having them on is better.
@@kellysouter4381 yea it is better but he's sensitive unless your telling him you love his videos and things of that nature he knew ppl would disagree with his Harry's worst things vid so he turned off the comments
🕛 0:00-10:39 tv 📺 lol 😂!
I might read Interview with the vampire.
