Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A common Harry Potter theory claims that Albus Dumbledore was the first Master of Death, but Harry's ending proves this wasn't the case. The title of "Master of Death" was fairly present throughout Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when the Boy Who Lived was first introduced to the three Hallows that, when united, would give the owner authority over Death himself.
The fact that Dumbledore had his hands on each of the Deathly Hallows at different times has inspired the theory that he was Master of Death. He was the first known person in the wizarding world to have ever obtained the Hallows, and the fact that he welcomed his own death seemed to imply mastery as defined in The Tale of the Three Brothers. Additionally, Harry became Master of Death despite never holding all three Hallows at once, reinforcing that the same was true for Dumbledore.
Even if it could be argued that Dumbledore used the Resurrection Stone after he was cursed and, therefore, became its master, he would still have been one Hallow short. Though the old headmaster had possession of the Cloak of Invisibility before he passed it on to Harry, it was only borrowed and never really belonged to him.
Only Someone Who Used The Hallows Selflessly Could Be Master Of Death Harry Didn't Use The Hallows To Avoid Death, But To Welcome It Dumbledore explained further in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows why he was not the Master of Death. Not only did he never possess all three Hallows at once, but he told Harry that even if he had, they wouldn't have worked for him the way they did for Harry because he was not worthy of them.
