Build: Albus was very fit in his youth, but at his tender age of 116, he doesn't care anymore
Eyes: Sparkingly blue
Hair: White and long
Distinguishing Marks: Long white beard
Other/general description: His scarred hand
Canon: He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice."(PS1)
"He wore half-moon glasses, had along, crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and mustache."(PS6)
"Professor Dumbledore, though very old, always gave an impression of great energy. He had several feet of long silver hair and beard, half-moon spectacles, and an extremely crooked nose. He was often described as the greatest wizard of the age, but that wasn't why Harry respected him. You couldn't help trusting Albus Dumbledore..." (PA5)
The silvery light from the Pensieve illuminated Dumbledore's face, and it struck Harry suddenly how very old he was looking. He knew, of course, that Dumbledore was getting on in years, but somehow he never really thought of Dumbledore as an old man (GF30).
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, something injured Dumbledore's right (wand) hand. It was "blackened and shriveled; it looked as though his flesh had been burned away." (HBP3)

Personality Personality: Considered the most powerful wizard in the world, Dumbledore liked to cultivate his image as the benevolent and eccentric, an archetypal good wizard in the style of Merlin. However, it is not by chance that he killed Grindelwald and was the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever feared.
Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card mentions that he enjoyed chamber music and ten-pin bowling. The card also reveals that he had a sweet tooth for treats both magical and non-magical. He frequently set the password for the entrance to the Headmaster's office to the name of one of his favourite sweets.
As a supremely talented wizard, Dumbledore showed numerous examples of extraordinary powers. His abilities as a wizard were combined with a kind of cunning and subtlety of mind that allowed him to comprehend human nature and turn the better aspects of humanity (trust, love, and friendship) to Voldemort's disadvantage in particular.
Dumbledore was quite aware of the fact that his power outmatched everyone else's, and would not hesitate to remind others of this fact, if the situation demanded it.
He liked to surround himself with people he could trust, but he was not above using blackmail, favours, charm or anything at his disposal to ensure that people followed his orders. He trusted people with many important tasks, however no one had his complete trust. He'd make sure to shell out the information so that no one had the full picture.
Dumbledore is known for his odd displays of his whimsical sense of humour. This humour is sometimes considered inappropriate by some of the other teachers, such as Professor Minerva McGonagall, who is serious at all times. Dumbledore uses humour to include people and make them feel more comfortable in his presence. However, he also knows that no one can tell him to stop due to his power and influence.
Dumbledore's personality flaw was his desire for power. Although he only ever desired to use this power for good, he found that those best suited for power are those who do not desire it. The prime example of his desire for power was when he and Gellert Grindelwald made plans one summer to take over the Muggle world, despite his own misgivings, and re-establish wizards as the natural rulers of the world. Dumbledore fell from this fantasy after his beloved sister Ariana Dumbledore was killed during a duel between himself, Aberforth Dumbledore, and Grindelwald and their combined hexes killed her.
Dumbledore was also haunted by his sad family life, most particularly the death of his sister, which would ultimately lead to his death. When he discovered Marvolo Gaunt's Ring and realised it contained the Resurrection Stone, he was overwhelmed by his desire to see the deceased members of his family once more. Completely forgetting that the Ring had become a Horcrux, and so was likely to be cursed, Dumbledore put it on, triggering the curse that would have killed him, had he not asked Severus Snape to make it quick for him.
