The Dumbledore Doctrine

This Doctrine is a living document that takes a comprehensive approach to our lives and our world - for although Dumbledore is a fictional character, his presence remains real in the hearts of Harry Potter fans and needed in our world as we collectively emerge from what Dumbledore referred to as "dark and difficult times."
