"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is one of the most recognizable and mysterious figures in the Harry Potter series. As an unscrupulous beetle-like journalist once said, he's 'a biographer's dream.' Is he omniscient or limited? Is he benevolent or malevolent? What really drove him in the last years of an extraordinary life? Dumbledore dives between the lines of the Harry Potter books to create a portrait of the controversial Headmaster. We find Dumbledore's hand in every seeming coincidence, and we consider the impossible decisions he had to make. This in-depth examination from author Irvin Khaytman casts events of the Harry Potter series in a new light, resolving fans' questions that linger to this day."--Page 4 of cover
