Nothing like this man had ever been seen in Privet Drive. He was tallthin and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which wereboth long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purplecloak which swept the ground and high -heeled, buckled boots. His blueeyes were light, bright and sparkling behind half -moon spectacles and hisnose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at leasttwice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.
