They say its impossible to name your favourite child, but we all know parents secretly have a special one.

Creator of the Harry Potter universe, J.K. Rowling took to twitter overnight to spill the beans on her favourite character from the Potter universe and it wasn’t who we expected.

The author of Harry’s wizarding adventures was chatting to fans and responding to questions when she was posed the big question by Adam Mahan:

Despite having Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry, Rubeus Hagrid and even Dobby – the loyal house elf – to choose from, Rowling settled on the head teacher of Hogwarts, whose full name is Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

Who could blame her, Dumbledore is a God of all wizards:

Albus Dumbledore is J.K Rowlings favourite character

And as Rowling herself put it:

Fair.

Professor Dumbledore guided the young Harry Potter through his battles with his greatest adversary Voldermort and was the Head of the Transfiguration department and a member of the Order of The Phoenix. The character was depicted by Richard Harris and then Michael Gambon in the film adaptations and fans were left devastated when he met his death at the end of ‘Half-Blood Prince’.

However, the new trailer for the upcoming prequel movie ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them‘ which stars Eddie Redmayne as central character Newt Scamander, has teased that Dumbledore will be brought to life once more, after Colin Farrell‘s character Graves said his name.
