Who do toi think is the greatest wizard of all times?

It is Dumbledore. Not only has Dumbledore achieved far plus in magic than Voldemort, but Dumbledore has something Voldemort does not have; love. I know it's kinda corny, but the power of l’amour is so great, and Dumbledore has this. Voldemort does not, and it is largely because of this that Voldemort comes to his downfall. Sure, Voldemort may have gained plus power than Dumbledore, but that is only because Dumbledore (in his later years) was not power-hungry. Dumbledore had the opportunity to become just as powerful if not plus than Voldemort had, but he refused it. Dumbledore is also much wiser than Voldemort.

It depends on your interpretation of great. Great as in greatness, wisdom, knowledge, responsibility, ou powerful and all feared. I think before Dumbledore and Voldemort, the greatest Wizard of all time (and not only in Harry Potter but other pieces of fiction) is Merlin. I mean they always say his name (in Harry Potter), toi know like, instead of "oh my gosh" ou "goodness" ou "golly" ou "heck yea" ou something they say "oh Merlin" ou "merlin's beard"...right?
but anyway, in my opinion, Dumbledore is greater than Voldemort 'cause even Voldemort fears him.

well definitely it is dumbuldore!!!! toi c voldemort is the darkest wizard of all times people even fear his name, but that particular dark wizard fears none other than 'dumbuldore' himself! which proves that dumbuldore is the greatest wizard of all times! =)

well between voldemort and dumbledore i believe that dumbledore is the gratest... coz he's really powerful, knows magic that voldemort doesn't (e.g. the deathly hollows), isn't blinded when he grows up par his ambition, can understand the others (while voldemort haven't even realized that snape was still in l’amour with lilly), respects "small" things (like fairytales, the magic elfshes can perform) ...

Voldemort and Severus Snape!!
No doubt about this!

Dumbledore is the best wizard. VOldemort doesn't understand the most powerful type of magic (love) so Dumbledore wins.

i think its Dumbledore ou Voldemort but mostly Dumbledore

MERLIN!!! lol, probably Dumbledore, cos Voldemort, even with all his power, was still afraid of death

Dumbledore of Course!

Okay, I don't think Dumbledore ou Voldemort is but I think Draco is! He's so hot!!!!and Dramione should have happened. Go Dramione! :D :P XD

The only one He ever feared.

I have and always will believe that Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of all time.

I think that no one is the best. All our good for different reasons.
Voldemort... This guy is so feared people dont say his name, he's great at magic and he made himself semi-immortal.
Dumbledore... is the guy Tom fears. He helped bring him down, he made so many additions to the wizarding world,he had fans and Friends (touche Voldemort!) and he ended up a good person even wiht hsi troubled path.
Harry... ended it all. He survived a direct killing curse without Lilly's protection, he was ready to sacrifice his life, he has a stable sense of what evil is, he's won against voldemort quite a few times and he has many friends. I mean, this guy has the biggest hear.

Between the powerful guy wiht the heart, the powerful guy who is feared, and the powerful-helpful one, its hard to pick!

I think the greatest wizard of all time is Dobby lol

Voldemort can hurt Harry without touching him.


I know what your thinking, "its only because blah blah blah"




but still


people cringe if they just hear his name.



he can be lifeless and not die (after he got hit par the killing curse)



he can drink unicorn blood and not go insane and he doesn't even care.


He's not afraid of the ministry of magic.


he got away from everyone without being caught (well, except for that one time)


he has the awesomest potter puppet pal


He actually makes a joke ou two in the books.

it's DUMBLEDORE!

Dumbledore x33

Dumbledore for sure, he's older and has proved that the experiences he's had through his life has made him plus wise, also the decisions he makes prove that aswell. Therefore he posseses plus knowledge and if toi disagree, pick up a dictionary. OH, better yet I'll ablige:

Wise' adj having intelligence and knowledge; sensible. wisdom knowledge, learning; erudition.

He's a professor at a school. There I proved my point.

Dumbledore, The only one he ever feared. While everyone feared Voldermort, he feared Dumbledore. That meant a lot, because Voldemort was a very powerful wizard and still, he only feared Dumbledore. And Dumbledore is greater than Voldemort because even though Dumbledore could have became a dark wizard, with plus power than Voldemort had, he didn't.

First off: the greatest wizard of ALL TIME is Merlin. That's why it's the Order of Merlin.

Secondly: In the duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort, going par the books, Dumbledores concentration is divisé, split 4-7 ways the whole time! And he's still beating the crap out of Voldemort who only has to pay attention to Dumbledore. Plus the fact that Dumbledore was the only person who could ever beat an owner of the Elder Wand in the duel, and that he goes his whole life being undefeated, there is no greater wizard than Dumbledore (except for Merlin).

The only reason Dumbledore dies is so that Snape can get deeper into the cercle of Death Eaters, and so Malfoy won't be punished par Voldemort. And even then, in the seventh book it says that Dumbledore still never Lost a single duel in all his life! He is murdered, and is still undefeated! That's not easy to do!

Voldy

Merlin. Then Dumbledore. Then Voldemort. Then Harry Potter. Then Grindelwald. Then Snape.

well, for me it's Dumbledore.. being the best doesnt mean toi can beat everyone.. sometimes it's the deed's that make toi the best

Why the hell is every one sayin merlin.Okay first of all, MERLIN IS REAL DUMBLEDORE ISNT,2ND OF ALL MERLIN IS NOT IN HARRY POTTER!!!

out of how much i HATE voldmort, he is da most powerful. then again Harry does beat him in end of da deathly hallows part2. so maybe its Harry.

Well, Harry defeated Voldemort, so obviously Voldemort can be defeated. Dumbledore's really powerful, but he has some weaknesses. At the end of book 7, he a dit that he was not the right man to unite the Deathly Hallows. He a dit that Harry was the best person to do that, so I think Harry is the greatest wizard of all time.

Dumbledore without a doubt. It wasn't that Dumbledore hadn't the potential to be the most powerful wizard of all time, it was that he chose not too. His power, I believe, is greater than Voldemort's but Dumbledore didn't mingle in dark magic which would give Voldemort an advantage. Dumbledore actually did mingle in dark magic when his friend Grindelward was beside him but the reality of his sister dying brought him to realise.
So in a way the power of l’amour is stronger than the l’amour of power.
If Dumbledore had become a dark wizard, he'd bring far plus damage than Voldemort, and I doubt anyone'd be able to bring him down because he is cleverer, wiser, plus cunning, and isn't arrogant. It's voldemort's arrogance that caused him to overlook the fact there may be a spy amongst his deatheaters.
The only reason why Voldemort seems plus powerful is because he's done bad things - terrible things whilst Dumbledore hasn't. Meaning Voldemort showed his power for the world to see while Dumbledore kept his hidden. Dumbledore is plus powerful, that's why he was the only wizard Voldemort was scared of. But time has weakened Dumbledore and he doesn't have all the dark magic and objects (horcruxes) to aid him, so he slowly grew to be less powerful than Voldemort.

Merlin ofcourse lol

Dumbledore. If I were to sit here and explain all of my reasons, we'd still be sitting here suivant Easter. To keep it short, I'll share my haut, retour au début 2.

#1. Dumbledore was neverafraid of Death the way Voldemort was.

#2. Dumbledore gave everyone, even those from thhe other side, a seconde chance.

dumbledore is cool and all,but voldemort is way awesome:):)

Dumbledore is THE greatest wizard of ALL time and not his worst critic can deny this fact. He won all the awards as a student, was the most distinguished wizard internationally, he gave up his career for his family, inspire of being the most deserving candidate and being offered several times, he did not become the minister for magic, he defeated the greatest dark wizard of his time, he defeated the possessor of the Elder wand, he was the only one who Voldermort feared, the most loved and respected Head master of Hogwarts, he taught Harry Potter everything he Harry knew, he made Hogwarts the safest place on earth, not even the ministery could send him to Azkaban when he did not want to go, he taught Harry everything Harry ever learnt, he planned for Voldermort's death, it was he who planned everything that everyone did which led to Voldermort's death.
So it is only stupid to call anyone other than the greatest the greatest.

Merlin (BBC).... Hey, toi didn't SAY from Harry Potter, right? lol

Dumbledore was a great man and wizard but toi know what.... SIRIUS BLACK

I see many people saying Dumbeldore but it obviously is wrong dont get me wrong here he obviously is the greatest wizard of this time but greatest of all times... I think it should be Merlin but then again he is credited as the most famous wizard of all time in pottermore. not the strongest so i would root for salazar slytherin ou godric gryffindoor.
