Who were the brother and sister of Albus Dumbledore?

Ariana Dumbledore. When she was six, a group of muggle boys attacked her and she was left her unable to control her magic. After one outburst she accidentally killed her mother. When she was around fourteen, Ariana stepped into the middle of a duel between Albus, Aberforth Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald which resulted in her being killed. Nobody knows exactly who killed her and both brothers were haunted for the rest of their lives.


Who will be playing Ariana Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies?

Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore's younger sister. She had suffered a vicious attack when she was six years old by three young male muggles who had witnessed her doing magic. When she couldn't fulfill their request to repeat what she had done, they tried to stop her from being "different". Ariana was left unable to be socially interactive and couldn't properly perform magic again due to the traumatizing event. Her mother Kendra made the family move to Godric's Hollow so that Ariana wouldn't be institutionalized in St. Mungo's Hospital or hurt someone accidentally, but the tragic irony here is that she had accidentally killed her mother when she had an uncontrollable outburst of magic. She is accidentally killed by either her brothers or Gellert Grindelwald when the trio had a fight over their plans to move to carry on their plans of wizards ruling over muggles. As a result of this, Albus' boggart takes the form of Ariana's corpse.

Is Lord Voldemort or Gellert Grindelwald more evil?

Lord Voldemort. Although Grindelwald wasn't a nice person and killed lots of people, his original cause wasn't to completely eradicate muggles - he wanted the wizarding world to come out of hiding and rank hire than the muggles whereas Voldemort wanted to kill and enslave them (as well as muggle-borns and blood traitors). Voldemort's war also lasted longer. Grindelwald's would have ended much sooner if Dumbledore had decided to fight him earlier but because he loved him, Dumbledore put off the fight until the death toll became too much to ignore.


What does Dumbledore exclaim in the cave when he drinks the green potion in Harry Potter?

I think that the potion was like a dementor - it makes you relive your worst memories. For Dumbledore he kept aksin Harry to stop because he was probably seeing the fight in which his sister, Ariana, was killed in. His boggart is her corpse.

Who is gellert grindewald?

Gellert Gindelwald (1840-1998) was a Dark Wizard defeated by Dumbledore in 1945, although the two were once great friends. Great-nephew of Bathilda Bagshot, who was Dumbledore's neighbor when his family lived at Godric's Hollow, he struck up a friendship with Dumbledore when he came to visit his great-aunt. The two became obsessed with gaining power, particularly through the attainment of the Deathly Hallows. The break in friendship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald came when Aberforth Dumbledore confronted his brother and his friend about their plans, provoking a three-way duel. In the chaos, Ariana Dumbledore was killed, causing Grindelwald to flee the country. Gindelwald eventually stole the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, from the wandmaker Gregorovitch, but lost the wand to Dumbledore after their famous duel. He founded the prison Nurmengard to hold his opponents, although he was sent there himself after his fall from power, and was killed there when he was confronted by Voldemort and told the latter that he no longer had the Elder Wand.


What does Dumbledore fear?

Dumbledore's greatest fear was finding out who actually cast the spell that killed his sister Ariana. It was either Dumbledore himself, his brother Aberforth, or Grindlewald. I believe it was Grinldelwald because he fled the country after her death and Dumbledore never saw him again until their legendary duel in 1945. Dumbledore's reason for delaying his meeting with Grindelwald was because he was afraid he would find out the truth.

What happened to Albus Dumbledore's sister?

When Ariana Dumbledore was six, a group of muggle boys say her practising magic in her back garden and demanded that she do the same thing again. Ariana was unable to do this and the boys violently assaulted her leaving her emotionally scarred for life and unable to control her magic. Afterwards, Ariana was forced to hide in her home to avoid being sent to St Mungo's leaving many people to believe she was a Squib. When she was fourteen, Ariana caused an explosion which killed her mother and as her father was in Azkaban for taking revenge on the boys who attacked her, it was left to Albus to take care of her - a task he was not happy to take on as it meant putting his life on hold. Albus then became friendly with Gellert Grindelwald and together they planned to find Deathly Hallows, reveal the wizarding world and change the world so that wizards ruled the muggles. This caused many arguments with his brother Aberforth who despised the ideas and Grindelwald. One day, the three began duelling and Ariana got caught up in the middle where she was killed by one of the three duellers. After this, Grindelwald ran away and ended his friendship with Albus who always regretted that day. Nobody knows who actually cast the spell which killed her, something that haunted her brothers for their entire lives.


What subject did dumbledore teach before he was headmaster?

They learned about Dumbledore's past. The points that were important to the plot involved his family and relationship with Gellert Grindelwald. Albus Dumbledore had two younger siblings, Aberforth and Ariana Dumbledore. When Ariana was six, young muggle boys saw her performing magic and were terrified by what they had seen. The boys attacked Ariana and left her mentally and emotionally scarred and she could no longer control her magic powers. Their father Percival was sentenced to Azkaban after he attacked the young boys. He never admitted his reason for attacking them because he knew the Ministry would put his daughter in St Mungo's if they found out. This brought shame on the family, and many people believed that Percival (as a pure-blood wizard) was a big believer in blood purity. However, his own wife was a muggle-born witch so that could not be true. He died at Azkaban. The Dumbledore's the moved to Godric's Hollow where they could keep Ariana a secret. They pretended that she was ill, although rumours spread that Ariana was a squib and was being kept locked away for shaming the family. While Albus and Aberforth went to Hogwarts, Kendra stayed home and looked after Ariana. When she was fourteen, Ariana lost control and a backfiring jinx killed her mother. Albus was then forced to put his life on hold to look after his young sister. He was bored of being forced to stay at home as he wanted to travel the world and make a difference. It is during this time he met Gellert Grindelwald, the nephew of neighbour Bathilda Bagshot. Albus and Gellert tried to track down the legend of the Deathly Hallows and he become fascinated with the idea of dominating the wizarding world. Dumbledore also fell in love with Grindelwald. One night, Aberforth confronted his brother and Grindelwald on their plans because he believed they were neglecting Ariana. This resulted in a battle between the three, which Ariana walked into the middle of and as a result was killed. Nobody knows who killed her, and Grindelwald left the next day. Both Albus and Aberforth were devastated and would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. Albus later regretted his relationship with Grindelwald and brought him down in 1945. Rita Skeeter portrayed these events in an extremely negative way and while they did indeed occur, it is likely many were exaggerated and some may even have been made up.


Was Dumbledore in love with grendlewald?

Arianna, his sister. A fight broke out after an argument between Grindelwald and Dumbledore during their youth. Grindelwald and Dumbledore had a duel and Dumbledore believes he might have killed his sister by accident. _____ There is no evidence Dumbledore killed Ariana. It could have been any of the three of them; Albus, Aberforth or Grindelwald. Dumbledore tells Harry that his greatest fear was that he struck the blow that ended her life, but Harry chooses not to ask whether he ever found out who was responsible for killing her, so we don't know. In fact, there is nothing any where that says Dumbledore killed anyone and considering his disdain for murder and the value he placed on intact souls (which are ripped apart when one kills), it is not likely he ever did.

What does Ron Weasley see when he looks in the mirror?

Dumbledore told Harry that he see socks... most likely it is not exactly true. He probably sees his mother, father, and sister Ariana. His father died in Azkaban for attacking the boys that hurt Araiana, and his mother was killed by Ariana in one of her rages. Ariana was a witch who was mentally disturbed after being attacked by several Muggle boys that were scared because she was doing magic, and never recovered. She was killed by trying to help when Dumbledore, his brother Alberforth, and Gellert Grindlewald are fighting and one shoots a curse too powerful for delicate Ariana to handle.


Did Severus Snape get married?

Albus Dumbledore didn't marry anybody. He only ever loved one person in his life, Gellert Grindlewald. Together, Dumbledore and Grindlewald had plans to take over the wizarding world and control the muggles so that wizards could reveal themselves. However, Grindlewald was a lot more extreme with these plans than Dumbledore. One day, a fight between Albus, Gellert and Aberforth Dumbledore broke out which resulted in the death of Ariana Dumbledore. Either of the three men could have killed the girl. After this, Dumbledore didn't trust himself to take a position of power and never found love with anybody else. Besides, under British law gay people couldn't get married at the time the series was set.
