I'm illiterate and just listened to the audio books so i probably missed it but what did dumbledore do please rant to your heart's content
sklfjfdk i accidenyl exited the page so now i gotta rewrite everything, theres probrably more, but its late.
left harry alone on the doorstep of relatives he doesnt fucking know int he muddle of the night, as an infant, without consulting anyone and against the wishes of another proffessor.
i will reiterate, did no legal checks, barely a background check (which he then disregards) and then doesnt fucking check on the kid again for 11 years.
had arabella figg spy on harry meaning either he knew how harry was being treated adn ignored it or arabella was an unreliable spy which he would have known
the special boy can play dlying murder soccer at 11 no problem, but you need parent permission to go tot he little village apparently
would have know sirius was innocent or at leave could have gotten him a fair trial because fukcing everyone got a trial, bellatrix got a trial, wha tt he fuck
keeps information from harry to get him to do what he wants basically, straight up said that eventually he was keeping shit from him because he accidently started caring about him meaning he said Whoops my
everything to do with the philosophers stone, if we ignore the fact that he was basically baiting harry into there, he still placed a dangeorus artefact surounded by dangerous traps to lure a dangerous man into a school full of children who, as we see, could easily get past them (or, yknow, fucking die like the trio almost did)
similarly, set the mirror of erised there, knowing anyone could come across it when its been known to drive people mad
kept the school open with a fucking bassilisk on the loose, what the fuck, he was alive and teaching the last time that happened, he was there for moaning myrtles death
locked sirius, yknow the abuse victim with the 12 years of trauma, in the house he was uuuuuh abuse in? like, there were other places he could have none, literally any black property, out of the country, any other house that could be hidden, literally.
allowed hagrid to teach, like i like hagrid hes cool but he literally can not be trusted to run a classroon, he brought a fuckign illegal dragon into the school
allowed teachers to dole out bullshit punishments includign sending 11 year olds into the forbidden forest at night, locking a 13 year old out of the dorms while a mass murderer is on the loose and doing nothing (presumably) about a grown man trasnfiguring a child into a ferret
no, seriously, letting 11 year olds wander around the murder forest int he dead of night searching for whatevers MURDERING THE FUKCING UNICORNS
is so clearly biased towards gryfindors, its wild
continued to send abused students back to their homes, no matter how much they begged to stay at hogwarts
treated 11 year old abuse victim grew up in london during ww2 tom riddle like a fucking evil mastermind from the first time they met instead of like, getting the kid therapy.
high key, even if he didn’t trust tom riddle, letting him teach at hogwarts would have given him a way to directly supervise him at all times!
*gestures towards lockhart*
*gestures towards grindlewald*
*gestures towards the dementors*
shld have snapped the elder wand in half, but thats just a pet peeve
allowed remus to teach without insuring he would be taking his wolfsbane and having no safely measures in place for when he didnt, putting the whole school in danger
in my opinion, his ignoring and avoiding harry during 5th year and not fucking helping him or telling him shit directly led to harry and co storming the ministry, going right into a trap and sirius fucking dying.
did jack shit about hte marauders almost bullying, sexually assulting adn almost killing severus, and who knows who else they treated like that, and continued to downplay their abuse until he fuckign died.
prepared no one for his fuckign deaht, wow
groomed harry, a child, to die, as a child, with no knowledge as to why he had to sacrafice his life until the very last moment. lets be honest, the final battle could have happpened at any age for harry and dumbledore would have let him fucking die.
had the same general low regard fro muggles as teh rest of the wizarding world
employed filch, the functionally disabled squib, to be the glorified janitor of a magic school.
did nothing to help harry during the triwizard tournament thing which is pretty fucking wack considering he was 14 and completely unprepared.
doesnt tell harry jack shit. doesnt tell anyone ajck shit.
in general acts like an abusive father figure who does whatever the fuck he wants no matter how much it hirts others because its For The Greater Good. no im not projecting, shut up.
also heres a long as reddit thing about why dumbledore sucks that i have been recomended but havent read through
