- "Well, I've always felt an affinity with the great magical birds. There's a story in my family that a phoenix will come to any Dumbledore who is in desperate need. They say my great-great-grandfather had one, but that it took flight when he died, never to return."
- — Albus Dumbledore[src]
Mr Dumbledore was the great-great-grandfather of Albus Dumbledore. He once owned a phoenix, but it took flight when he died and never returned. He was an example of a story told through multiple generations of the Dumbledore family that a phoenix would come to any Dumbledore who is in desperate need.[2]
Behind the scenes
- J. K. Rowling has said that Fawkes had not served another human before Albus Dumbledore, meaning that these two phoenixes cannot be the same.[4]
