- Strong: Albus Dumbledore. Hands-down, Albus Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard of his time. Most regarded him as the strongest wizard in history, and even Lord Voldemort himself feared to face him.
- Strong: Lord Voldemort. As far as Dark wizards go, none can hold a candle to Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort. While not capable of challenging Albus Dumbledore—especially while Dumbledore possessed the Elder Wand—Voldemort was near-unsurpassed in his magical abilities.
- Strong: Gellert Grindelwald. Before the rise of Lord Voldemort, Gellert Grindelwald was undoubtedly the strongest Dark wizard. Of an age with Dumbledore, the two became fast friends as teenagers when Grindelwald came to Godric's Hollow.
- Strong: Severus Snape. Though very good at hiding it, Severus Snape was an extremely powerful wizard. A student prodigy, he became a dab hand with all manner of magical disciplines.
According to Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE: Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon’s blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. Professor Dumbledore ...

From: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter Twelve, "The Triwizard Tournament", p.158. Dumbledore has some classic one-liners, but I particularly enjoy this passage in book four, where he gets totally side-tracked and temporarily forgets he's meant to be telling the school about The Triwizard Tournament.
From: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter Thirty-Six, "The Parting of the Ways", p.585. The momentary "gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes" doesn't mean much to us in book four, but by the end of book seven it's crucial. As Dumbledore explains to Harry right at the end of the series in his King's Cross vision, by taking Ha...
From: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter Thirty-Six, "The Parting of the Ways", p.595. If Dumbledore hadn't decided to become a headmaster, he could easily have been a lawyer -- the way he puts a stammering Fudge in his place at the end of book four is all the proof needed.
From: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter Eight, "The Hearing", p.128. Further evidence that Dumbledore would be a killer lawyer comes at the beginning of book five, when he calmly brings down Fudge's entire Wizengamot with his well-crafted arguments and gets Harry off the hook. I particularly love his line about arriving at the Mini...
From: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter Twenty-Seven, "The Centaur and the Sneak", p. 572. One of the first times we become fully aware of Dumbledore's true power (at least in a practical sense) happens when the auror Dawlish makes a move to apprehend him on Fudge's orders. The calm, cheerful way he stops Dawlish in his tracks with...
From: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter Twenty-Seven, "The Centaur and the Sneak", p. 573. Shortly after we get a hint of Dumbledore's true power, we see it in action. He completely incapacitates Dawlish, Fudge, and Umbridge in a matter of seconds, then emerges through the dust to calmly ask McGonagall if she and Harry are okay.
From: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter Thirty-Six, "The Only One He Ever Feared", p.749. Some people criticise the Order of the Phoenixfor being too unstructured, but in my opinion it has some of the greatest moments in the series. Chapter Thirty-Six, "The Only One He Ever Feared", is one of these. Dumbledore is at his best during...
From: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Three, "Will and Won't", p.40. There are plenty of amusing encounters between the Dursleys and the wizarding community, but Dumbledore's arrival at the beginning of book six is probably my favourite (especially the way he's able to silence Uncle Vernon with nothing more than a few calm words).
From: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Twenty-Six, "The Cave", p.479. Every time I read the line highlighted above, it sends chills down my spine. Even after having drunk that horrendous potion and being weak to the point of collapse, Dumbledore manages to get back to his feet again and blast away the Inferi before they can drag Harr...
From: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Twenty-Six, "The Cave", p.481. I don't mind telling you that I came dangerously close to weeping like a toddler when I read this line. I can't even put my finger on quite why it's so emotional. Maybe it's Dumbledore's vulnerability after having drank the potion; maybe it's the fact it cleverly m...

- He Gave Harry To The Dursleys (& Didn't Follow Up) When Harry's parents were killed, Dumbledore made the decision to leave Harry with the Dursleys, despite the fact that he was warned about how terrible they were.
- He Secretly Held Dark-Wizard Views (For A While, At Least) This can theoretically be put down to the mistakes of youth, and will no doubt be explored much more comprehensively in the Fantastic Beasts series, but it's hard to discount the fact that Dumbledore took up with a Dark wizard to consider enslaving people for their own good.
- He Left The School (Repeatedly) Despite His Incredible Power. It seemed, for many of the early books, that whenever Harry was about to go and take down the big bad, Dumbledore wasn't there.
- He Avoiding Taking Power When It Could Have Made A Difference. Dumbledore seems to consider it a mark in his favor, that he refused to take the position of Minister of Magic when it was offered, showing that he would turn down a position of power rather than risk misusing it.
Dumbledore is considered by many characters to be the most powerful wizard alive. Some say he is the only wizard Voldemort ever feared. During his education at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was known as the most brilliant student to have ever stepped into the school, winning "every prize of note that the school offered", and doing "things with a wand [the examiner had] never seen before".
