Albus Dumbledore, is head master or the principal at Hogwarts. Somethings that happened to his family was that his father died in Azkaban, or the prison for the wizards and witchs. Something that was very uncommon in the wizarding world, was that he could speak in Parseltongue, or snake talk. He could also do magic that was silent, wandless, and with his wand. His wand had a Thestral Hair Core, which was very important. Some wands had weird items, like unicorn hair, Dragons heart sting, or a Phoenix feather.
