I have the one. It's very low quality, but it will have to do until someone can get a better one. --Parodist 17:26, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Writing on the Portrait Edit

I´ve watched the scene and think his Portrait features the words Atodome XXX. XXX means 30, indicating he died at that age. But what does Atodome mean? Perhaps this is his name or I misread it. And by the way, should the other unidentified Headmasters get articles as well?--Rodolphus 15:18, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Gandalf? Edit

Back when the Chamber of Secrets film came out, it was widely rumored (e.g. here, here, here, here and so forth) that as an in-joke, the film's producers based one of the portraits in Dumbledore's office on Ian McKellen's portrayal of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings (the first film of which had been released when CoS was made). This portrait seems to bear the closest resemblance to Gandalf; in particular, his belt resembles the one worn by McKellen as Gandalf the Grey (see here, for example).

Now, some people dispute whether this is anything more than a coincidence (after all, the image of the wizard in long robes and pointy hat largely derives from Gandalf in the first place), but I was wondering whether a) anyone had heard this confirmed in any legitimate and/or official source, and b) whether this was worth noting as a background note in the article. —Josiah Rowe 04:26, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Sadly, it's not Gandalf. Massive disapointment. It doesn't look that much like him anyway. But you never know... there are so many portraits in the headmaster's office that one of them may well be Gandalf.

Elder Wand?Edit

This Headmaster's wand have one of the traits from the Elder Wand; the little white piece of paper. And i just wondered if he was one of the previous owners of the Elder Wand. --Danniesen 18:30, October 20, 2011 (Denmark)
