Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a very messed up Harry Potter theory of mine that outlines some questionable actions and behaviour from Albus Dumbledore- suggesting that perhaps Dumbledore, wise old loveable benevolent wizard and Hogwarts headmaster, was actually a master manipulator responsible for the destruction of Lord Voldemort's soul. This theory alleges that Dumbledor...
