wariest zeal

7+ exampled of why dumbledore is the worst at hiring professors:

1. a psychic who hasn’t accurately predicted anything in over a decade,

2. a dude possessed by an actual magical tyrant,

3. a charming academic impostor (let’s be honest his hair was probably around 78% of the reason he was hired),

4. a guy who got expelled for fairly recklessly having a dangerous creature in the castle, hired to present dangerous creatures to 13 year olds,

4. a werewolf (he gets a break tho cause he's a very nice werewolf),

5. a super crazy evil guy pretending to be a great and very talented guy (like haven’t you known the guy he’s impersonating for a good long time? and you noticed nothing??),

6. a prissy frogfaced fuhrer (I guess this one's not totally on him since he didn't want her there in the first place, though he did up and peace out leaving the students fully under her absolutely fucked up jurisdiction),

7. and finally a dude with questionable allegiances who plays shameless favoritism. oh wait that’s at least two. and one of them ends up actually killing him.

if this is a sufficient model of his administrative prowess, it really was probably for the best that he never became minister of magic.
