Fantastic Beasts: How They'd React To Dumbledore

Hey everyone, and welcome back to the wizarding world! Today, we're diving deep into a question that's probably been buzzing around your minds: how would the beloved, and sometimes bonkers, characters from Fantastic Beasts react to the legendary Albus Dumbledore? I mean, this is a guy who's seen it all, done it all, and probably has a sherbet lemon stashed somewhere for every occasion. So, let's imagine some of our favorite Fantastic Beasts characters crossing paths with this iconic wizard. It’s going to be a wild ride, so grab your wands and let's get started!

First up, let's talk about Newt Scamander, our favorite magizoologist. Now, these two have a history, right? Dumbledore was a professor at Hogwarts when Newt was a student, and Dumbledore always saw something special in Newt, even when others didn't. So, a reaction from Newt would likely be a mix of deep respect and a touch of awkwardness. Newt isn't exactly the most socially adept bloke, especially around authority figures he admires. He’d probably be fumbling with his scarf, trying to keep his Nifflers from escaping his pockets, and stammering out polite greetings. He'd likely be impressed by Dumbledore's wisdom and his unwavering belief in the good of magical creatures, a sentiment Newt shares wholeheartedly. Imagine Newt trying to explain the intricate social hierarchy of Blast-Ended Skrewts to Dumbledore, who would probably just nod sagely, perhaps with a twinkle in his eye, already understanding the nuances far better than Newt could articulate. Dumbledore’s tendency to speak in riddles might throw Newt for a loop, but Newt’s genuine passion for his beasts would shine through, and Dumbledore, being Dumbledore, would absolutely appreciate that. He’d see the same quiet strength and moral compass in Newt that he’s always championed. It wouldn't be a loud, boisterous interaction, but rather a quiet, understanding exchange between two kindred spirits who, despite their different paths, are both dedicated to protecting the magical world in their own unique ways. Newt would feel a sense of validation from Dumbledore’s presence, a confirmation that his unconventional methods and his love for beasts are not just accepted, but truly valued by one of the greatest wizards of all time. It’s a relationship built on mutual respect and a shared understanding of the wonders and dangers of the magical world.

Now, let's switch gears and think about Queenie Goldstein. Our charming, Legilimency-wielding witch. Queenie's reaction to Dumbledore? It would be pure, unadulterated fascination mixed with a bit of playful flirtation. She’s a warm, open person, and Dumbledore, with his calm demeanor and twinkling eyes, would likely charm her instantly. She'd probably try to read his mind, not maliciously, but out of sheer curiosity, and be delightfully surprised (or maybe not, she’s good!) by his guarded thoughts. She might offer him a freshly baked pie or try to engage him in a lighthearted chat about his favorite flavor of sherbet lemon. Her empathy would allow her to sense the immense power and also the deep burdens Dumbledore carries. She'd probably feel a pang of sympathy for him, recognizing the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. There’d be a mutual appreciation, I think. Dumbledore would be amused by her effervescence and perhaps a little intrigued by her ability to read emotions so readily. He might even offer her a piece of sage advice, couched in his typical Dumbledore-speak, which Queenie, with her open heart, might actually understand better than most. She'd likely see him as a benevolent, almost paternal figure, someone who truly cares about the well-being of others. The interaction would be filled with warmth, a dash of humor, and an underlying current of understanding. Queenie's innate kindness and her ability to connect with people on an emotional level would make her a disarming presence for even the most formidable wizard. She’d likely find herself drawn to his quiet strength and his profound understanding of human nature, even if he tried to keep his true feelings hidden. It’s easy to imagine her offering a comforting smile or a knowing glance, bridging the gap between their worlds with her inherent charm and emotional intelligence. Dumbledore, in turn, might find her refreshing, a bright spark in a often-dark world, someone who reminds him of the simple joys and the power of genuine connection.

What about Tina Goldstein, Queenie’s more serious sister? Tina’s reaction would be one of stern respect and perhaps a touch of awe. Tina is a no-nonsense kind of witch, an Auror dedicated to upholding the law. Meeting Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of their time and a key figure in combating dark magic, would be a significant event for her. She’d likely be very formal, addressing him with the utmost respect, and might even be a bit intimidated. She’d probably want to ask him about his strategies against Grindelwald, or perhaps seek his counsel on a particularly difficult case. Tina values order and justice, and Dumbledore embodies those principles on a grand scale. She’d be looking for guidance, for reassurance that the fight against evil is being waged effectively. Dumbledore, I suspect, would see Tina’s dedication and her strong moral compass, qualities he greatly admires. He might offer her quiet encouragement, perhaps a subtle nod of approval for her work, and a reminder of the importance of hope. He wouldn't dismiss her seriousness; rather, he'd acknowledge it, recognizing that it stems from a deep commitment to doing what's right. It would be a more formal encounter, lacking the playful banter of Queenie or the fumbling admiration of Newt. Tina would present herself professionally, seeking knowledge and affirmation, and Dumbledore, in his inimitable way, would likely offer just that, albeit in his characteristically cryptic manner. He’d appreciate her tenacity and her unwavering commitment to justice, seeing in her a vital part of the larger battle for good. It’s likely he would offer her a quiet word of encouragement, perhaps a gentle reminder of the strength found in conviction and the importance of never giving up, even when the odds seem insurmountable. Tina, in turn, would carry his words with her, a source of inspiration and strength in her own demanding career as an Auror.

And then there's Jacob Kowalski, our favorite No-Maj baker. Oh, Jacob! His reaction to Dumbledore would be pure, unadulterated wonder and maybe a little bit of disbelief. He’s a muggle who’s stumbled into a world of magic, and Dumbledore is like the king of that world! Jacob would probably be completely starstruck, sputtering, and trying to make sure he didn't spill his latest batch of pastry dough on the floor. He'd be looking at Dumbledore with wide, amazed eyes, probably thinking, “Is this… is this the Dumbledore? From the stories? Wowza!” He’d be completely in awe of Dumbledore's power and his reputation, but also, I think, touched by his kindness. Dumbledore, known for his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, would likely treat Jacob with the same gentle respect he shows everyone. He’d probably find Jacob’s genuine bewilderment and his simple goodness quite endearing. Maybe Dumbledore would even share a story or two, perhaps a subtle nod to the magic inherent in everyday life, something Jacob, as a baker, can certainly appreciate. It would be a moment of pure, joyful connection between the mundane and the magical, with Dumbledore acting as the bridge. Jacob would be overwhelmed by the sheer spectacle of meeting such a legendary figure, but Dumbledore’s reassuring presence would undoubtedly put him at ease. He'd likely feel incredibly fortunate to witness such an encounter, perhaps even finding the courage to ask a few hesitant questions about the magical world. Dumbledore, with his characteristic wisdom and warmth, would likely respond with kindness and patience, making Jacob feel seen and valued, even as a Muggle in a world of wizards. This interaction would highlight Dumbledore's ability to transcend the ordinary and find the extraordinary in everyone, a testament to his profound understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings, magical or otherwise. Jacob would leave the encounter with a head full of unbelievable stories and a heart full of wonder, forever changed by the brief but magical meeting.

Let’s not forget Seraphina Picquery, the formidable President of the MACUSA. Her reaction to Dumbledore would be one of cautious respect and strategic assessment. Seraphina is a leader, a diplomat, and someone who takes her responsibilities very seriously. She would approach Dumbledore with the deference due to his immense power and influence, but she'd also be keenly aware of the political implications of any interaction. She'd be assessing his intentions, his allegiances, and how his actions might impact the delicate balance of the wizarding world, both in America and abroad. There would be a formal exchange, likely discussing matters of global magical security, the threat of Grindelwald, and perhaps the Statute of Secrecy. She’d be impressed by his foresight and his strategic mind, but she might also harbor some reservations, given the differing approaches of the American and British wizarding communities. Dumbledore, on the other hand, would recognize Seraphina’s strength, her intelligence, and her unwavering commitment to her people. He would likely respect her position and her dedication, even if their methods occasionally diverged. Their conversation would be layered, filled with unspoken implications and the weight of leadership. It would be a meeting of two powerful figures, each navigating the complex currents of the magical world, seeking common ground while maintaining their distinct perspectives. Seraphina would likely approach the meeting with a degree of skepticism, aware of the potential pitfalls of international magical politics. However, Dumbledore's reputation for wisdom and his proven track record in combating darkness would undoubtedly earn his respect. She would likely seek his insights on matters of international magical law and the global implications of rising dark forces. Dumbledore, in turn, would acknowledge her leadership and the unique challenges faced by the Magical Congress of the United States of America. He would likely express his admiration for her resilience and her ability to maintain order in a world that often seems determined to descend into chaos. Their interaction would be a testament to the complex nature of inter-governmental magical relations, where respect and caution often walk hand-in-hand.

Finally, let’s consider Credence Barebone, or Aurelius Dumbledore, as we now know him. His reaction to Albus Dumbledore is… complicated, to say the least. Given his tumultuous past, his immense, uncontrolled power, and his deep-seated pain, encountering the very man whose family lineage he shares, and who represents a world that has largely rejected him, would be fraught with anger, confusion, and a desperate yearning for understanding. He wouldn't approach Dumbledore with the respect of Newt or the awe of Jacob. Instead, there would be a palpable tension, a storm brewing beneath the surface. He might lash out, demanding answers about his past, about his mother, about his connection to the Dumbledore family. His Obscurus would likely flare with his emotions, making any interaction incredibly dangerous. Dumbledore, who carries the burden of his family’s past and his own mistakes, would likely approach Credence with immense sadness and a profound sense of responsibility. He would see the pain, the potential, and the brokenness in Credence, and he would likely try to offer him a path towards healing, however difficult that might be. It wouldn't be a simple conversation; it would be a confrontation born of generations of pain and misunderstanding. Dumbledore’s goal would be to reach Credence, to help him understand his true nature and to guide him away from the darkness that has consumed so many of his family members. This encounter would be the emotional core of their complex relationship, a desperate attempt to mend a fractured legacy. Credence’s reaction would be a raw, visceral outpouring of years of suppressed rage and confusion. He would likely see Albus not as a legendary wizard, but as a symbol of the family that abandoned him, the power he wields, and the life he could have had. His questions would be sharp, accusatory, and filled with the pain of his past. Dumbledore, burdened by his own complicity in the suffering of his family, would likely respond with a quiet solemnity, acknowledging the truth in Credence’s accusations while also offering a glimmer of hope. He would see the potential for good within Credence, a spark that, if nurtured, could overcome the destructive forces that have plagued their bloodline. The encounter would be a battle not just of magic, but of wills and of deeply ingrained emotional wounds, a poignant testament to the enduring impact of family and the arduous journey towards redemption. It’s the kind of encounter that would leave both men irrevocably changed, a painful but necessary step in unraveling the complex tapestry of their shared history.
