Adalbert Waffling (d. 1981)[1] was a wizard who was a magical theoretician, credited to have written "all about magic". Waffling is somewhat seen as the "father of magical theory", as it is a popular claim that every modern witch or wizard has learned from his writings.
Waffling was the one who formulated the Fundamental Laws of Magic[3] and wrote Magical Theory, a most popular textbook still being used today by the young witches and wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2]

Biography
Early life
Adalbert Waffling was born in or before the 19th-century. By the 1890s, he was already a notable theoretician[4] whose ideas on energy transfer in spellcasting illuminated the fact that while certain spells were a matter of the caster's will, others were a question of intent.[5]

Later life
By the 1890s, Waffling was already one of most notable wizards of the date,[4][6] so it is more than likely he published some of his writings before this point. Around this time Albus Dumbledore, the "most brilliant student ever seen [at Hogwarts]", was in regular correspondence with Waffling in order to exchange ideas about magic.[4] Minerva McGonagall later shared these letters with members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force who pursued a Professorship profession to help improve their skills in addressing the Calamity.[7]
Waffling died in 1981.[1]
