In this episode I reveal what Dumbledore's actual plan was. Enjoy!
Summary: We never truly understand what Dumbledore's plan is. That is because he doesn't confide in anyone. And, his plan is forever changing. This is Dumbledore's true plan in the first Harry Potter book. Dumbledore started by bringing Harry to the Dursley's where he grew up. When Harry turned eleven, Dumbledore could have sent anyone to pick Harry up, but Hagrid was the one picked. That may have been because Dumbledore wanted Harry to become good friends with Hagrid from the start. That turned out well, as Hagrid helped Harry a lot through his days at Hogwarts. Then, after Harry got all his things from Diagon Alley, he spent a fortnight at the Dursley's house before going to King's Cross to catch the Hogwarts Express. But oh no! Harry has no idea where to go.  That is when Mrs. Wealsy shows up, loudly saying how the train station was packed with muggles. That seems a little too perfect. And as we see the Weaslys being great assets to Harry, we can assume Dumbledore might have told Mrs. Weasly what to do. Then Harry goes to Hogwarts. There, all seems well until the students are informed of a mystery in the castle. When Harry and his friends are running from Filch one night, they stumble into that very secret. They find Fluffy the three headed dog. Only a day later, Hagrid let slip that the dog was his, and the secret behind it was only between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel. It's odd that Hagrid tells Harry the exact information to get the answer. Did Dumbledore tell him to? On Christmas, Harry conveniently gets a present (from Dumbledore) that allows him to move around the castle at night. Harry goes to the library to find Flamel. After another run in with Filch, Harry runs to the mirror of Erised. Entranced, Harry goes back every night. The last night he does this, Dumbledore is waiting. But Harry isn't expelled. When Harry finds out who Flamel is, they hurry down the third floor corridor. Somehow, Harry makes it through the whole thing! It's as if Dumbledore designed it that way...
