Dumbledore's predecessor, Armando Dippet, gets a few mentions and even a scene or two in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets book. Not much is known about the earliest headmasters of Hogwarts, but some informationĪ few other Headmasters of Hogwarts are mentioned in the series and ancillary materials, too. Dolores Umbridge, Severus Snape, and Minerva McGonagall all held the position during Harry's time at school (or when he should have been at school, but was off chasing horcruxes). However, even within the original series, there were a few notable Hogwarts Headmasters over the years. For the bulk of the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and for many fans he will always be the most iconic witch or wizard to lead the school.
