The latest issue of our premier essay project, Scribbulus, has now been published containing five new essays for your reading pleasure. Included within the pages of our 21st issue, are four looks behind the half-moon spectacles of long-time Hogwarts Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, along with an exploration of this wizard’s wand. This issue begins with an essay which compares the beloved Headmaster to another beloved old soul we all know, while the next essay takes a look back at his life as possible influences for the future. The rest of the issue explores such topics as: Dumbledore’s ethics, his relationship with Harry Potter, and his wand. Enjoy!

    Wow! Man, the “The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore” essay is just the best one I’ve ever read. It opened my eyes, really. I didn’t realize lots of things. It changed my opnion on Dumbledore, I didn’t see him as a cruel manipulator before, u know. It’s a little bit shocking to realize the truth. But there’s this one thing I disagree: Snape asked Dumbledore not to say anything about “snape’s best part”, remember? That’s why Dumbledore didn’t tell Harry about snape’s secret. But I agree that it was unecessary to say what he said, and that he ended up contributing to increase the animosity between the Snape and Harry.
