Why was dumbledore cursed?

Answer 1

Answer

The exact curse was never specified, but it was caused by him wearing a cursed ring.

Answer

Avada Kedavra, cast by Severus Snape. But he was already poisoned and cursed, so he would have died soon anyway.

Answer 2

Severus Snape used Avada Kedavra to kill Dumbledore.

Answer 3

because apparently it could return the dead -i think he wanted his sister, Ariana or something like that to return-but that's just my guess

Answer 4

No, Dumbledore does not have a horcrux but Voldemort has 7. Horcruxes are described as one of the foulest forms of Dark Magic. That is not the sort of thing Dumbledore would use.

The ring he had on was Voldemort's horcrux so it had a curse on it. When Dumbledore tried it on, Dumbledore got the curse

Answer 6

Put a curse on his hand that would soon spread to the rest of his body and kill him.

Answer 7

The ring of the Gaunts'.

Answer 8

The Jelly Legs Jinx.
