Background / History

In this continuity, Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald worked together to stop dark wizards who sought to enslave Muggles. Afterward, Grindelwald chose self-exile to seek a better path for wizardkind, while Dumbledore remained involved with Hogwarts and spent time with his beloved. During this period, the pair repeatedly encountered Bing Huan and his master, eventually becoming kindred spirits with the young cultivator. Ariana Dumbledore survives the events that would have killed her, and her family prevents her from becoming an Obscurus. 1

Dumbledore asked Severus Snape to serve as the Order of the Phoenix’s mole among the Death Eaters after graduation. Snape later became a Hogwarts professor while secretly protecting Harry Potter. 1

He arranges Bing Huan’s early enrollment at Hogwarts, places him beside Professor McGonagall’s quarters, and treats him as an unusually capable student rather than simply a child. He introduces Bing Huan to Newt Scamander and Nicolas Flamel to broaden his education in magical creatures and alchemy. 6 9

Appearance

Dumbledore is described as a white-bearded old man. 116

• Often carries himself with a gentle, smiling demeanor.
• Commonly drinks tea, including black tea and lemonade. 8 250
• Wields the Elder Wand. 116 250

Personality

Dumbledore is outwardly warm, teasing, and patient with his students. He comforts Bing Huan over his difficulties with English-language spells, encourages him to create original incantations, and repeatedly calls him “child.” 8

Beneath this approachable manner, he is highly strategic and willing to withhold information or maneuver others toward a goal. He deliberately presents himself as a “riddler” while preparing Bing Huan to develop a stronger protective instinct, and later uses Harry’s connection to Lily and Voldemort to help recruit Horace Slughorn. 12 115 117

He prioritizes character over technical strength. After Harry, Ron, and Draco confront the Basilisk, Dumbledore considers their courage and moral development more important than correcting their increasingly direct combat habits. 44

Abilities & Skills

Advanced Spellcasting

Dumbledore is among the Wizarding World’s strongest spellcasters. Bing Huan identifies Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort as its three most formidable figures. 33

• Can cast spells silently and without a wand after sufficient practice. 7
• Explains magic as resonance between spiritual power and magical power, with wands functioning as stabilizers and amplifiers. 7
• Repelled Dementors during the Hufflepuff–Gryffindor Quidditch match alongside Grindelwald and Bing Huan. 53
• During the Ministry battle, trapped Voldemort and his Fiendfyre construct inside a massive sphere of water. 113
• Can restore damaged furnishings with a wand alongside Slughorn. 118

Memory Magic

Dumbledore is capable of manipulating and sealing memories.

• Initially arrives to erase Hermione Granger’s memories of the wizarding and cultivation worlds. 4
• Instead constructs a seal over Hermione’s memories after Bing Huan objects, while Grindelwald protects her mind and the Daoist Sect leader supervises. 4
• Later confirms to Hermione that he sealed those memories. 44

• Agrees to involve the Ministry in monitoring suspected Death Eater activity rather than allowing the Daoist Sect to handle all logistical work. 132

Elder Wand Mastery

Dumbledore possesses the Elder Wand, which came to him through Grindelwald. 116
