Dumbledore also makes use of one of the small devices on the spindly tables, to determine something about the snake which had attacked Mr. Later in that same year, Professor Umbridge , having been informed of the existence of Dumbledore's Army , and with the help of her Inquisitorial Squad, manages to capture Harry and parades him in front of Cornelius Fudge in Dumbledore's office. Based on the name of the group, Fudge leaps to the conclusion that Dumbledore is raising an army to attack the Ministry, and attempts to put Dumbledore under arrest.
The attempt fails, but Dumbledore does leave his office. Professor Umbridge is appointed Headmistress by the Ministry , but the Headmaster's office remains sealed to her; evidently the school itself does not recognize her authority. When the Ministry is forced to recognize that Voldemort has returned, at the end of that book, Dumbledore is re-instated as Headmaster. Harry, sent to the Headmaster's office by Portkey , notes that the damage that had occurred in Dumbledore's abortive arrest had somehow been repaired.
Dumbledore himself arrives shortly by means of Floo powder. In the ensuing, rather heated, discussion, Harry destroys one of the spindly tables and the instrument sitting upon it; Dumbledore does not seem perturbed by this. Harry notes that, instead of an instrument, one of the tables contains, at various times, artifacts of Tom Riddle's early life.
Apart from this, however, Harry notes very little about the office that has not already been mentioned. The occasional comment from a portrait is generally dismissed. At the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , after Dumbledore's death, a large portrait of him, asleep, appears in the Headmaster's office.
The portrait is already present when Professor McGonagall summons the Heads of House to discuss the future of Hogwarts, mere hours after Dumbledore has died, and without anyone else as far as we know having been in the office. While we do see the Headmaster's office several times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , we hear very little of how the new Headmaster has changed the decor.
The desk is present, the Pensieve is present, and the portraits are all still present on the walls, but of Dumbledore's instruments, or what has replaced them, there is no mention.
When Harry first enters the office, after collecting Snape's memories in the Shrieking Shack , he notes that all of the portraits are vacant, and guesses that they are all in other portraits scattered around the school, keeping track of the progress of the battle.
After Voldemort's defeat, the portraits are all back in residence, and give Harry a loud ovation upon his arrival. As mentioned, it is likely that the headmaster's office is merely the public area of his residence. We don't, of course, know where Dumbledore lives while he's at school, but the theory that he lives in a suite of rooms fronted by the office is supported by his appearance in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
There, Harry is brought into the office through the double wooden doors by Professor McGonagall; Dumbledore enters afterwards, but does not enter through these doors, instead apparently appearing from the other side of the office.
We can surmise that this is common for all of the teachers at the school, that they have an office available to the school staff and students, and private rooms behind. In support of this, we can offer the Slug Club Christmas party hosted by Professor Slughorn in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ; entrance is through Professor Slughorn's office, but there seem to be several rooms involved in the party.
It is, perhaps, a little strange that a password is required to reach the Headmaster's office. Of course, all the teachers must know that password, and Harry happens to overhear it when Professor McGonagall takes him to Dumbledore's office in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , so the secret is not particularly well guarded.
Still, one must wonder why any protection of that nature is needed. We can only surmise that this is a remnant of earlier Headmasters, who were perhaps not as popular as Dumbledore. It was reached by means of a circular, moving stone staircase, which in turn was concealed by a gargoyle on the third floor. The gargoyle would step aside in response to a password, though the Headmaster was capable of overriding the password if, for any reason, they desired that it would not work.
It is unknown what events took place in the office in the early years of the school, but it can be presumed that it was used by the previous Headmasters and Headmistresses such as First Headmaster of Hogwarts early 11th century , Phyllida Spore sometime before , Edessa Sakndenberg sometime before , Vindictus Viridian sometime before , Ambrose Swott? In Harry 's second year, a memory of Tom Riddle 's reveals the Headmaster's office as it had been in : the time of Professor Dippet , the Headmaster preceding Dumbledore.
In the office, Dippet and Riddle discussed the Chamber of Secrets and whether the school was likely to be closed. Harry first entered the office in when he had just rather literally tripped over the petrified body of Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Professor McGonagall , the first on the scene, said nothing in response to Harry's pleas of innocence, except to say that it was out of her hands. She proceeded to a gargoyle in the halls, and uttered the password " Sherbet Lemon ", whereupon the gargoyle leapt aside, revealing a slowly ascending circular staircase. Reaching the top of this, they found an oaken double door. Professor McGonagall left Harry there. Harry saw that the room contained a vast number of portraits of past headmasters, all evidently asleep; many spindly tables with intricate silvery devices upon them; and the Sorting Hat resting on a shelf.
After exchanging some words with the Sorting Hat, Harry notices a very ill-looking bird on a perch behind the door; as he watches; aghast, the bird catches fire. Professor Dumbledore, then entering, tells Harry that the bird, Fawkes, is a Phoenix, and that is his method of immortality; he will shortly be reborn from his own ashes.
Hagrid then enters and says Harry is innocent, to which Dumbledore says he already thinks so. In , Harry again visited the headmaster's office, finding another artefact of Dumbledore's: a Pensieve.
During Harry's fifth year in , Professor McGonagall again took Harry to the Headmaster's office, this time immediately after Harry had seen a frightening vision of Mr Weasley being attacked by Voldemort 's snake , Nagini in the Department of Mysteries. As they approach the office doors, Harry heard a large number of voices all talking at once, but when the doors open, there was nobody there except Dumbledore himself. Over the course of the next few minutes, it became apparent that Dumbledore had been speaking with, and apparently receiving information and advice from, the portraits , even though they appear to be sleeping.
The evidence for this is that he addressed two of the portraits, who immediately awoke, and sent them off to gather information. Several big scenes took place here, from Harry getting reassurances in the Chamber of Secrets to him taking a trip down Severus Snape's memory lane in the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
But not everything that happened in the books was brought to life on the big screen - which is understandable when so much happened in them. Here are 10 moments that were left out of the films, in chronological order. But this conversation actually occurs in Dumbledore's Office, before he even becomes headmaster.
Instead, Riddle and Armando Dippet talk things out - with the latter in charge of Hogwarts at the time. Riddle expresses a fear that Hogwarts will be shut if the person behind Mrytle's death isn't caught and he then proceeds to frame Rubeus Hagrid for the crime, with the loveable half-giant then being expelled as a result.
Yet the movie doesn't show the trial of David Tennant's character, merely the big reveal. In the trial, Crouch Jr is fearful as the Dementors prey on his feelings of anguish, terror, and suffering.
He shrieks as he's dragged away after being sentenced by his father for the horrific tortures of Frank and Alice Longbottom. In fact, the way he's described makes it seems as though he was just caught up with bad people. It's all an act, however, with the character really bad to the bone.
The book is different , though, with Harry actually discovering an alive Crouch during a talk with Viktor Krum. That's when he hastens towards Dumbledore's Office, eventually relaying his story to the Hogwarts headmaster. Ask A Question. Keep me logged in on this device. Forgot your username or password?
