About
Dumbledore-posting refers to posts, greentexts and copypastas that parody Dumbledore's character from the fantasy book series Harry Potter by author J. K. Rowling. Common themes in Dumbledore -posting style parodies include how all Slytherins are depicted as evil, Dumbledore's favoritism towards Gryffindor, and author J. K. Rowling's in-book treatment of minorities and her real-life opinions on transgender rights. Common phrases include "he said calmly", as well as "Well done ______, well done. HOWEVER".
Origin
J.K. Rowling's seven-part Harry Potter was serialized between the years 1997 and 2007, and was adapted into an eight-part film series by Warner Bros between 2001 and 2011.[1] The books and movies have been generally well-received over the years, and are considered a modern children's classic.[2] The series has also been criticized over the years for its rigid moralism, its stereotypical depictions of minority characters, and various plotholes revolving around the "rules" of the magical world.[3] Rowling has been criticized her her opinions on transgender rights over the years as well.[4]
The earliest known instance of Dumbledore posting was uploaded to 4chan on June 6th, 2016, when a user began a threat with an image of Dumbledore alongside text impersonating his style of speaking. The post read, "Yes yes Well done Slytherin. Well done Slytherin. >However" (seen below).[5] This is referencing the iconic scene at the end of the first movie, where Slytherin was poised to win the house cup, but Dumbledore swooped in and gave points to Gryffindor instead.
Spread
The aforementioned thread also contained a copypasta from " "Wizard People, Dear Reader"[6] that continued to parody Dumbledore's speech (seen below).
Another popular Dumbledore-posting trend follows the format, "Well done _____, HOWEVER." The post is often accompanied by a picture of Dumbledore. Other versions of Dumbledore-posting reference the Dumbledore said calmly meme, portraying him screaming and acting unhinged, followed by the ironic phrase "he said calmly". As a nod to Dumbledore's association with the wizard-supremacist Grindelwald as well as Rowling herself, the posts also often portray Dumbledore as a bigot (seen below).
Other phrases utilized in Dumbledore-posting include the word "non-plussed" and the phrase "stretched his legs," which critics have noted to have been overused in the books (seen below).[7]

"real women." Why, there isn't a person alive today who hasn't wanked it to a ladyboy at one time or another. More to the point, they've yet to come up with a bathroom our Hermione couldn't get into.

To our First Years I have a few notices I wish to announce. An unmarked, random room in this castle will kill anyone entering it. It is such because I decided to hide an extremely dangerous and powerful artifact at this institution for children. Please also note that if you enter the schools forest, it will be a very painful and certain death from the dozens of ferocious creatures roaming it." >"Despite being the safest place in the world for wizards, there is a coin flips chance that one my employees this year is on first-name basis with the most evil wizard in living memory. I am of course speaking of VOLDEMORT. Yes, I said his name. I am not scared for my life, but you should be. Which one is it this year? Personally, my bet is on professor Snape." >"I am also pleased to announce that the quinquennial Death Tournament will be held this year. The three underage contestant will endure three deadly trials for no other reason than my personal amusement. I encourage anyone from monetarily struggling families to enter so that you can recover from the outrageously expensive and gratuitous equipment we require you to purchase to attend this school. You dont want your family to starve do you? So please enter! Speaking from experience, casualties are frequent and amusing.' >"Lastly I need to address the elephant in the room, or rather the snake in the room. I personally distrust and loathe the members of the Slytherin House, and as such, if Slytherin wins the House Cup through effort and hard work, I will overthrow the result by giving arbitrary points to whatever house I feel like" >As the students get out of their seats and scramble out of the main hall, Dumbledoor looks across the teachers table with a mocking grin >"Severus, see me at my office immediately.
