It's not an exaggeration to say that there are so many wizarding families found within the narrative of "Harry Potter" — though some are obviously more prominent than the others. Thanks to the specific focus on Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends, we know a lot about the Weasleys (because of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint), the Malfoys (because Tom Felton's Draco Malfoy is Harry's nemesis at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry), and the Blacks (because Harry's godfather Sirius Black, played by Gary Oldman, hails from the ancient pureblood family), among others. But what about the Dumbledores?

We first meet Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, during Harry's first year at the wizarding school; in the massively popular film franchise, the legendary British actor Richard Harris played the role in the first two movies ("Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets") before he passed away in 2002. After that, Michael Gambon took over as Dumbledore and completed the franchise as the powerful wizard, with Jude Law stepping in to play a younger Albus in the "Fantastic Beasts" prequels. Dumbledore fits nicely into the "wizened old wizard" trope, bearing similarities to other staples of the fantasy genre like Gandalf from "Lord of the Rings," but he's also funny, passionate, eccentric, and completely unique. So what else do we need to know about Albus and his family? Here's the entire Dumbledore family tree, explained.
