Appearance [ ]
Dumbledore is described as a tall, thin man with silver hair and a beard who are both long enough to be tucked into his belt. He is wearing half-moon-shaped spectacles, long robes and high-heeled boots. His nose is long and crooked and he has a scar just above his left knee which is a perfect map of the London Underground.
Personality [ ]
Dumbledore is a very wise man. He seems to know about everything that goes on in Hogwarts. He always puts the safety of the students first, but he's not as strict as other teachers, he often even enjoys the pranks of the students (or Peeves). He's also very fond of sweets.
