The REAL Reason Dumbledore Knows Everything - DARK Harry Potter Theory
About this episode
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing ALBUS DUMBLEDORE and a theory about how he always seemed to maintain some level of control.
First things first, Dumbledore is unquestionably one of the most powerful and INTELLIGENT wizards to have ever lived. While at school, Dumbledore's magical abilities consistently turned heads, particularly his skills surrounding charms and transfiguration. He also did exceptionally well on his N.E.W.T.S and O.W.L's. Griselda Marchbanks, a professor working for the Wizarding Examinations Authority, remarked that Albus was able to do things with a wand that 'she had never seen before' - remember that.
-
He was remarkably wise, cunning, tactical and even emotionally intelligent.-
But while Dumbledore may very well be all of these things, the series sometimes portrayed him to be practically omniscient. So much so, that it's even remarked upon by other characters:
"You are omniscient as ever, Dumbledore." "oh, no, merely friendly with the local barman"
And while this may have been a somewhat playful comment on Dumbledore's behalf, I think that there may actually be some pointers in the story that help to explain Dumbledore's seemingly all-knowing perspective.-
Dumbledore (throughout the books) just seems to give off an overwhelming 'feeling' that he KNOWS what's going on around him at all times.
