Synopsis

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.

Ze wszystkich Potterowych dodatków, które udało mi się przeczytać (a kilka ich już było), ten był najlepszy! Nie mogłam się oderwać, czego się zupełnie nie spodziewałam. Owszem, sporo było tu teorii i domysłów, ale takich, które naprawdę potrafiły zainteresować czytelnika i sprawiały, że mózg działa......more

Goodreads review by Jola (czytanienaplatanie) on March 06, 2025

Wyobrażacie sobie przeczytanie jakiejś serii kilkanaście razy? Co najmniej tyle razy przeczytał serię o Harrym Potterze autor książki "Dumbledore. Życie i kłamstwa najsłynniejszego dyrektora Hogwartu" Irvin Khaytman. I nie tylko ją, ale również wszelkie opracowania, które powstały na jej temat. A ws......more

Podoba mi się zakres analizy oraz ilość cytowań i odniesień do twórczości innych osób zainteresowanych analizą tej postaci. Bardzo lubię, kiedy w książkach analizujących teksty kultury autor przedstawia perspektywy, z którymi się nie zgadza, nie uwłaczając im.......more
