DUMBLEDORE CHPTS 1 - 4
ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IS A POWERFUL WIZARD AND THE HEAD OF HOGWARTS WIZARDY ACADEMY. ALTHOUGH MY CHARACTER DOES NOT HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN THE BEGINNING CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK WE ALL KNOW HE WILL HAVE A MAJOR INFLUENCE AND IMPACT IN THE LIVES OF HARRY AND THE OTHER STUDENTS AT HOGWARTS. IN HIS ONLY APPEARANCE OF THESE CHAPTERS HE DISPLAYS HIS INFLUENCE OF LEADERSHIP WHEN HE INSISTS TO HIS PEERS (PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL & HAGRID) THAT HARRY BE LEFT AT THE DOORSTEP OF THE DURSLEYS AND SHOULD BE RAISED BY THE THEM. HE APPEARS TO HAVE AN SUPERHUMAN LEVEL OF WISDOM OR KNOWLEDGE. HE IS AWARE THAT VOLDEMORT KILLED HARRY'S PARENTS AND POWER WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HARRY. HOWEVER BEING A POWERFUL WIZARD I WOULD THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IN A SENSE. HE DOES REPLY THAT WHEN HARRY IS OLD ENOUGH HE WILL LEARN OF HIS FATE WHEN PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL INSISTS HARRY NOT BE RAISED BY THE DURSLEYS. BUT LATER IN CHAPTERS 2 THROUGH 4 WE LEARN OF THE CRUEL PUNISHMENT HARRY RECEIVES BY THE DURSLEYS. HAVING TO SLEEP IN A CUPBOARD AND AT TIMES BEING STARVED AS A PUNISHMENT. AS WELL HE WASNT ALLOWED TO ATTEND EVENTS WITH THE FAMILY EVEN THOUGH THEY WHERE HIS COUSINS AND AUNT AND UNCLE. IF HARRY WAS TO BE THIS ALL MIGHT POWERFUL WIZARD LIKE DUMBLEDORE WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW OR INSIST HE BE RAISED BY A FAMILY THAT WOULD TREAT HIM AS SUCH??????

Hmm... Interesting question. Dumbledore says that being raised away from the Magical world will keep him from getting a big head... famous before he can walk and talk would certainly turn anyone's head. However, Harry does suffer abuse, and Dumbledore must have known that would happen.
ReplyDeleteAnother point: While Dumbledore is extremely smart and is able to make good guesses about what will happen in the future, he's no prophet. That's a specialized skill in the Wizarding world.
Good post. Just a few pieces of advice. Firstly, you're only at 246 words. Be sure to get at least close to 300. It's not that much, after all. Secondly, please don't write in all caps. That is considered "shouting" on the internet, and it's really hard to read.
