Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.

"We can only guess," said Dumbledore. "We may never know."
邓布利多教授在大多数时候,总是如此谨慎。
"Exactly," said Dumbledore, looking very seriously over the top of his half-moon glasses. "It would be enough to turn any boy's head. Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won't even remember! Can't you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that until he's ready to take it?"
关于哈利波特为什么要留在德思礼家,邓布利多给出的解释。
“I would trust Hagrid with my life," said Dumbledore.
邓布利多对海格的信任。
If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild - long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
海格第一次出场。
For a full minute the three of them stood and looked at the little bundle; Hagrid's shoulders shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously, and the twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore's eyes seemed to have gone out.
邓布利多,麦格教授,海格,一起凝视着还是个婴儿的哈利波特。
"Good luck, Harry," he murmured. He turned on his heel and with a swish of his cloak, he was gone.
邓布利多对哈利说的第一句话,也是第一次道别。
