ALBUS DUMBLEDORE (Richard Harris, Michael Gambon)
The Harry Potter books and films
SCHOOL Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
STUDENT Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe)
Dumbledore represents everything a good professor can be: a mentor, a father figure, and a friend. If it wasn't for him, Harry would have never gotten over his broken past to become the wizard he is today. And really, who doesn't love a professor who makes up words at schoolwide banquets? Cheers to Dumbledore for bringing the ridiculous back into education. —Jaya Saxena
