Harry Potter
What is the name of Dumbledore's phoenix?
Answer
Fawkes
Explanation
The correct answer is Fawkes. Fawkes is Albus Dumbledore’s loyal phoenix, often seen in his office. In Chamber of Secrets, Fawkes heals Harry with phoenix tears after a basilisk bite, carries heavy loads (including multiple people), and brings the Sorting Hat, from which Harry draws the Sword of Gryffindor.
Fawkes is also the source of the twin phoenix-feather cores in Harry’s and Voldemort’s wands, a key connection in the series. Phoenixes are reborn in fire, and Dumbledore’s Patronus is a phoenix as well—symbolizing resilience and renewal. Memory tip: Fawkes sounds like “Guy Fawkes,” associated with bonfires—
