Even after seven years in the Wizarding World, it was eerie that a portrait could contain so much of the life of its inhabitant. Before he had seen the finished project, Harry had the thought that there should be no painting of Albus Dumbledore—that no portrait could do justice to the greatest wizard to ever live on mere oil and canvas and reduced to a wooden frame.

No matter how many times I see the castle from afar, it always brings me back to the wonder of that first evening trip over the Black Lake. The rickety carriage ride came to a halt outside of the gates of Hogwarts and Harry Potter climbed out into the mild August rain. He had never been back this early in the year before, but then he hadn't had...

A preface, In no way is this telling a way to smear, or attack, the great man and wizard that Albus Dumbledore was … he guided me through my years in Hogwarts as a mentor and I will always look up to him and...
