THE WILL OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

The will of Albus Dumbledore was revealed one month after his death to Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger by Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour. For thirty-one days, the Ministry of Magic had not carried out Dumbledore's wishes as laid out in the will, instead temporarily confiscating and inspecting them under the Decree for Justifiable Confiscation for clues as to what Dumbledore intended the three teenagers to do with the items he left them. As they were not able to find any Dark magic in the items, the Ministry was no longer legally entitled to inspect them, and Scrimgeour brought them to the Burrow to give to Harry, Hermione and Ron.
Almost all of Dumbledore's worldly possesions — including his books, magical instruments, and various other effects — were left to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Scrimgeour was especially suspicious that of all the individuals the late headmaster might have bequeathed items to, he chose three students.
