In time for the Christmas shopping season, "Dumbledore: The Secret Life" shipped from foreign publishers. Dorian Theras had been thorough with his research, and he shared everything. Dumbledore's father's imprisonment after he attacked the muggles that severely hurt his daughter. His friendship with Gellert Grindelwald, their brief relationship, and falling out. His exit from straight politics and transition into teaching. From there the slide into manipulation, his failure to prevent students from falling into darkness. His near complete control over select students. He showed Dumbledore's lack of support or help to the children he tasked to defeat Lord Voldemort. The use of gray and then morally ambiguous spells, all in the name of his greater good. He avoided naming living people, though since she no longer used that name, Hermione allowed him to detail the suffering of Hermione Granger. He omitted the destiny Dumbledore thought she had. All in all, masterfully handled. He sent Hermione and Harry autographed copies.
