Matt Springer at Built on Facts argues that Albus Dumbledore, the beloved headmaster in the Harry Potter series, is far from the greatest wizard in the on the side of good, but rather a huge tool, who's actions pretty much makes him the key instigator of much of the harm, destruction and death that strings throughout the entire series.
He writes: " ...through a combination of staggering incompetence, dereliction of duty, and wholly unmerited hubris he managed to spend his entire life busily nurturing minor problems into world-ending catastrophes.....Like most young English wizards, Dumbledore learned of his talents early in life and entered Hogwarts as soon as he came of age. While there he rose to seldom-seen levels of magical skill and along the way befriended another young wizard named Gellert Grindelwald. Grindelwald was a German expat wizard, having been kicked out of Durmstrang (the German equivalent Hogwarts) for being a dangerous nutjob.
