Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing one of the many mysteries associated with Albus Dumbledore’s secretive past: the circumstances that surrounded the death of his sister, Ariana. I say “many mysteries” because, as you may recall, it became quite clear near the end of the Harry Potter series that Dumbledore had many a secret.

Let’s start with some of the more benign mysteries. While Harry attended Hogwarts, Dumbledore was a mentor to the young wizard. And yet, for most of the series, he is frequently unavailable to him. This in itself seems not quite right, does it? Why would the HEADMASTER of one of the greatest magical schools in the world constantly be absent? Where did he go? And what had he gone to do? It all seems a bit on the shady side if you ask me.

Then, of course, there were the countless facts that Dumbledore decided not to share with our dear Harry, including the truth about how he would have to sacrifice himself in order to defeat Lord Voldemort. While I would certainly consider this to be the most ruthless secret Dumbledore kept from the boy, there were countless others, including the fact that he decided to give him to the Dursleys as a newly orphaned infant, and did NOTHING to expose him to the truth of who he was until the age of 11…I mean, I do believe I could go on and on about the things Dumbledore kept secret.

And apparently, so could J.K. Rowling. I’m, of course, referring to the upcoming third installment of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. One does not need too much of an imagination to conclude that we’ll be learning more about Albus Dumbledore’s secrets in this film. Personally, I am more than keen to discover what else the great and powerful Dumbledore managed to cover up.

Last, but certainly not least, is the 900-page “tell-all” penned by the infamous journalist, Rita Skeeter, released immediately after his death. With a title like The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, you can imagine that it most certainly did not depict Dumbledore in a favourable manner, spilling what she thought to be a multitude of secrets about Albus and his family. In fact, as you may recall, this was the publication which first told readers and viewers alike about Albus Dumbledore’s close relationship with the future dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore is also the first time we learn about Albus’ younger, ailing sister: Ariana Dumbledore.
