The Angry Dumbledore meme, famously known as 'Dumbledore Asked Calmly,' originated from a scene in the 2005 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The meme highlights the massive contrast between the book's description of Dumbledore's reaction—where he speaks calmly—and the movie adaptation, where Michael Gambon’s Dumbledore aggressively shouts at Harry. This irony turned the scene into a viral sensation, frequently used to parody situations where someone’s 'calm' response is actually incredibly intense or unhinged.
