Dumbledore’s first name is Albus in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
His full name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. He is introduced as the headmaster of Hogwarts and becomes one of the most influential figures in Harry’s struggle against Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore is known for exceptional magical ability, strategic planning, and his belief that love and personal choice can defeat tyranny.
The name “Albus” is Latin for “white,” a detail that fits imagery associated with Dumbledore’s long beard and later symbolic contrasts with darkness. His family history includes his brother Aberforth and sister Ariana, whose tragic story explains much of his regret.
A common mix-up is answering “Aberforth,” because Aberforth is also a Dumbledore and appears in the series. Aberforth is Albus’s younger brother and the proprietor of the Hog’s Head Inn. Arthur Weasley is a different Hogwarts-era wizard entirely.
