The phoenix bird is continually reborn. At the end of each life cycle, it erupts into flames and then rises up from the ashes of that fire. Albus Dumbledore has a phoenix named Fawkes, first seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was a given that Fawkes would be the color of fire, with his top mainly burnt oranges and dark reds. At his last stage of life, he has the coloring of a burned-out match, with the last embers of brilliance around his eyes. Phoenixes are tied to the Dumbledore family; once Credence joins Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the Dark wizard shows the young man a phoenix chick: He tosses it into the air, where it grows to full size and lights on fire, reborn. This confirms to Credence that he is actually a Dumbledore. This fiery drink will bring every party or occasion to life over and over again.
