Tolkien Stolen Dumbledore

Well humph!

I always loved the word Dumbledore, it had such a nice ring to it. Guess why?

BECAUSE TOLKIEN INVENTED IT

In one of Bilbo's poems (I forget which) he talks about imaginary insects called Dumbledors. It doesn't take a genius to work out where J.K. Rowling got the word from.
I rest my case.
