This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The movies also frames Dumbledore as a hard boiled unhinged detective who slams people against walls and shakes them down for information, whereas the book totally missed out on that great aspect of his personality. Swings and roundabouts
Definitely, Dumbledore is much better in the movies. I think the books overexplore his relationship with Voldemort and he comes off a bit daft. All of his interactions with Voldemort are like:
Voldemort: Genocide is cool, right?
Dumbledore: No, it isn't
V: You're right. Anyway, theoretically, how can I become more stronger?
D: Are you gonna do a genocide?
V: high pitched Whaaaaat...?! Naaaaaaaah! I would never do that!
D: Ok, here's how you become more powerful...
This is a hot take I’ve never heard before
He's a man of ACTION in the films, and not a man of giving fools a second chance.
Dumbledore in the books has my heart, but Dumbledore in the films has my sword
A turd is better when you can both see and smell it rather than when you can only smell it
