Behind the scenes
First appearance

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Percival Dumbledore was the father of Albus Dumbledore, the noted Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He and his wife Kendra had three children: Albus, Aberforth, and Ariana.

When Percival's daughter Ariana was assaulted and emotionally scarred by three Muggle boys, he attacked them and was arrested and convicted by the Ministry of Magic for this crime. He was sentenced to Azkaban, where he later died. Percival never gave up the reasons for his attack on the Muggles because he feared that if the Ministry found out about Ariana's state, they would send her to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for the rest of her life.

This led many to believe that Percival was a supporter of the notion of blood purity who attacked the boys simply because they were Muggles, although this is probably untrue, since Percival's own wife was a Muggle-born witch.
