A brilliant investigation into the motivations and methods behind the actions of Hogwarts's renowned Headmaster!

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 consider the impossible decisions he had to make. This in-depth examination from author Irvin Khaytman casts the events of the Harry Potter series in a whole new light, resolving fans' questions that linger to this day.

Irvin Khaytman is a walking Harry Potter encyclopedia from New York City, where he does taxes by day and all things geeky by night. He has been writing and publishing essays about Harry Potter since 2007 and became a columnist at MuggleNet, the world's most popular Harry Potter fansite, in 2011. In the last few years, he has also been a regular contributor to Hypable. When not reading or discussing books, Irvin can be found dancing to wizard rock or planning costumes for conventions. He identifies as a Ravenpuff.

An experienced and award-winning actor, narrator, and singer with a degree in German literature, Richard Trinder trained at London's prestigious Poor School and has worked on stage, screen, and behind the microphone for nearly thirty years. His theater work has ranged from classical leading roles to pantomime dame, and most things in-between. On screen he has been a Harry Potter movie villain, fought alongside Doctor Who, smoldered as various soap-opera love interests, and appeared in over fifty TV commercials. He was the leading man in London's West End production of Mamma Mia! the musical for nine years. With an authoritative, fluent, and expressive style, his audiobook credits include AudioFile Earphones Award-winning history, Costa Prize literary fiction, romance, biography, and sci-fi for many major publishing houses.
