Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing all of the times that Albus Dumbledore - wise old Hogwarts Headmaster- was WRONG- or just had terrible judgement. I know, this is a strong stance to take at the very beginning of a video...but with the title being what it is, it surely comes as no surprise. So, let's get in to it!

Dumbledore was many things throughout the Harry Potter series. Mentor to our young protagonist, Harry, Hogwarts Professor-turned-Headmaster, loyal member of the Order of the Phoenix – a wizarding legend in his own right. He was also quite frequently just plain WRONG.

And if you don't believe me, let's take a look at all the times – that we know of – that Albus Dumbledore made decisions that were incredibly questionable, if not altogether incorrect. I've counted 25, and I welcome your additions in the comments below this video if you think I've missed any!
