What was Dumbledore's job at Hogwarts before he became Headmaster?

Answer 1

Little is known about Dumbledore's early history or family. According to Rowling he is about 150 years old when the series begins, meaning he entered Hogwarts as a student in the 1850s. His only known sibling, a brother named Aberforth, was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix and was once prosecuted in the Wizengamot for "practising inappropriate charms on a goat".

Dumbledore's extraordinary magical talents were apparent from an early age, as later described by the elderly Griselda Marchbanks, Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, who personally examined the school-age Dumbledore for his N.E.W.T. exams in Charms and Transfiguration. Marchbanks recalls that the young, talented Dumbledore had "done things with a wand I'd never seen before."[HP5]

It has been argued by some fans that Dumbledore may have taken part in and possibly even won the last Triwizard Tournament before 1994, based on the information that prior to the event of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the tournament has not been held for over a century. Such theory has never been confirmed.

Albus Dumbledore's house affiliation is uncertain, though according to Hermione Granger "They say Dumbledore himself was in Gryffindor." In the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore states in Harry's Gryffindor dormitory that, when he was in school, he set fire to the same dormitory bed curtains, and "never liked them". Rowling has suggested that Dumbledore may be descended from Godric Gryffindor, but has not confirmed it[citation needed].

An unknown time after his graduation, Dumbledore returned to the school as Professor of Transfiguration and as Deputy Headmaster, in which capacity he also served in recruiting students for the school.

In 1945 Dumbledore defeated the Dark Wizard Grindelwald.

Dumbledore has held the posts of Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards. He was removed from these posts during his conflict with the British Ministry of Magic under Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, but was reinstated when the Ministry was forced to concede that he had correctly warned that Voldemort had returned. During his life Dumbledore also refused the position of Minister for Magic three times. He holds the Order of Merlin, First Class, for Grand Sorcery.
