The saga about The Boy Who Lived and his lightning-bolt shaped scar is almost 15 years old, but for fans, it might feel like it was just yesterday they were saying hello and then goodbye to the Harry Potter franchise. But what about the woman who created him?
J.K. Rowling recently opened up during a Good Morning America interview about the series and dished on which of the multitude of characters she happened to miss the most.
“Of all the other characters in the Harry Potter series, [Dumbledore's] the one I miss the most,” she said, according to Teen.com.
For the non-Potterheads, Albus Dumbledore was Harry’s wise wizard headmaster (and also mentor and friend), played by the late Richard Harris and then Michael Gambon in the films.
“I always say that I feel like I wrote Dumbledore from the back of my head,” Rowling added, according to Celebuzz.
“Sometimes he said things, and told Harry things, that I only knew I knew or believed when I saw that I'd written them down in the voice of Dumbledore.”
Rowling also said Dumbledore was the character who was “hardest to leave” and he “is the person, if [she] could have anyone come back…physically, and sit and talk to [her], it would be Dumbledore.”
