Harry Potter Dumbledore Hat Standard

Product Information

During the time the Harry Potter trilogy takes place Dumbledore held a few different positions at Hogwarts. At the beginning of the series, Dumbledore was still teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts. Some critics discussed the implications of this statement, noting that this was the first time any public revelations about his sexuality were made and that the books had already been completed by this point in time. In more negative assessments from outside the gay community, The New York Times columnist Edward Rothstein said that "Ms. Rowling may think of Dumbledore as gay"; however, "there is no reason why anyone else should". [60] The East Tennessee State University's student newspaper accused Rowling of lying, saying her answer was a publicity stunt. [61] The hell? A-A-B-C-B-C-C?

Dumbledore also tends to use the exclamation "Alas!" in an apparently incorrect place, parodying Rowling's love for unusual words. In the episode "Ron's Disease", Dumbledore reveals himself to be "a gay android". [78] His knowledge of the most powerful kind of magic, love, is extensive. He taught Harry about its very essence, and the innate power of his ability to love his parents, which eventually helped Harry realise his destiny to kill Lord Voldemort.

In October 2007, while answering reader questions during a book reading at Carnegie Hall, Rowling was asked if Dumbledore had even been in love and answered "I always thought Dumbledore is gay," discussing for the first time his romantic relationship with Gellert Grindelwald and describing it as a "great tragedy." [54] She further elaborated that she had informed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince director David Yates of this fact via a note in an early draft of the screenplay, in which she crossed out a section where Dumbledore described a youthful attraction to a woman and wrote "Dumbledore is gay." Yates would later state he had been informed even earlier, during the production of the fifth film, saying that during a read through for the next film "Jo leaned over to me and said: 'You know Dumbledore's gay don't you, David?' And I thought 'Wow that's pretty cool'." [55]

Latin for "dragon's head," possibly chosen by the Gryffindor prefects to help inspire the members of the House to do better in this year's competition for the House Cup after Slytherin's six-year-long string of victories. The phrase is actually borrowed from a list of magical terms used in "sikidy," a form of geomancy from Madagascar. Other terms and phrases Rowling borrowed from the list include "Alohomora," "Fortuna Major," and "Alihotsy" ( SDNY).

The Sorting Hat is the first of several key magical items we will encounter that serves as a tool for revealing character. But as we and Harry will learn only at the end of the next book, the most important aspect of the Sorting Hat is not what it says about a student itself, but how that student chooses to react to the Sorting.

Although in his later years Albus Dumbledore was known as much for his eccentricity, gentle humor and unfailing kindness as his magical abilities, he was deeply ashamed of some of the things he did — and thought — in his youth. He learned the hard way about the seductiveness of power, and its costs, and spent the rest of his life trying to understand and contain the darker impulses in Wizarding society. Dumbledore plopped the hat down on a table near Hermione, patted her on the head and once again regally walked away. So we've just got to try on the hat!" Ron whispered to Harry. "I'll kill Fred, he was going on about wrestling a troll."
