Albus Dumbledore's file is a file kept by the Ministry of Magic while it was under Lord Voldemort's control in 1997. It was kept on Dolores Umbridge's office.

The document listed Albus' blood status, the status of his family, and his security status. Because he died in the service of the Order of the Phoenix his picture had a giant red X crossed over it.

Behind the scenes

• The file lists Dumbledore as being "tracked," seemingly odd as there would be no need to track the movements of someone who was deceased. However, as these papers most likely existed from 1995 when Dolores Umbridge doubted Dumbledore's mental state it may have been written from that point.
