![]() ![]() This could be a result of Grindelwald and Dumbledore's relationship, which is explored further in Fantastic Beasts 3. However, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Rita Skeeter is interviewed following the publication of her biography on Dumbledore, saying she believes that's not exactly true, speculating Grindelwald surrendered. Across the Harry Potter book series, the final conflict between the two titans is referred to in hallowed, almost mythic terms. Since Albus breaks the blood pact in Fantastic Beasts 3, Fantastic Beasts 2's ending may have confirmed what tone the epic wizard fight between Grindelwald will have, and how it will occur. Grindelwald carries it throughout the movie, until Newt's Niffler steals it during the heat of the final battle. Proof of that promise exists in the form of an ornamental vial, containing droplets of Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s blood. The former friends made a Blood Pact in their youth, promising never to fight each other. However, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's ending gives another reason for Dumbledore’s inaction. Moreover, Dumbledore said that he was racked with guilt over Ariana’s death, and he was afraid that Grindelwald would finally reveal who murdered her in their three-way duel with Aberforth. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore revealed that he had delayed moving against Grindelwald out of fear, not for Grindelwald or his personal safety. But with the Fantastic Beasts series charting Grindelwald’s growing power in the mid-1920s, many wonder why one of the most powerful wizards in the world stood idle for so long. Harry Potter fans know that Albus Dumbledore eventually defeats Gellert Grindelwald in their epic duel of 1945. In Paris, however, she stumbles across Grindelwald, who tempts her with the promise of a life free from MACUSA’s interference. When Newt breaks the spell and Jacob criticizes her extreme approach, Queenie departs to find Tina in France. She puts him under a spell to make him more compliant, takes them abroad, and pushes for the two of them to get married. They managed to continue their relationship up to Fantastic Beasts 2's ending, even after Jacob’s memory was modified by Frank the Thunderbird in the first film’s climax, although Jacob has begun to fear what reprisals Queenie would face if they were discovered.įantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's ending explains Queenie's increasingly desperate attempts to stay with Jacob. Despite this, Queenie and Jacob fell in love during their adventures with Newt. No-Maj’s are forbidden from discovering anything about the wizarding world, and strict segregation is maintained by the American Department of Magical Law Enforcement. But even if Credence isn't Dumbledore's brother, that only poses more questions.įantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them depicted 1920s America as a particularly tense time for the magical and non-magical communities. This seems increasingly unlikely, especially after Credence’s “birthright” as a Dumbledore is confirmed in the same scene (more on that later). It’s clear that he has been tampering with the Ministry’s records to lead Credence and his pursuers back to Grindelwald, but Abernathy could have removed some vital clues about Credence’s heritage in the process. Plus, when Queenie is seen at the French Ministry of Magic earlier in the film, Grindelwald’s follower Abernathy (Kevin Guthrie) can be made making a discreet exit. Indeed, the famous Headmaster is specifically mentioned as having one brother and one sister: Aberforth and Ariana respectively. After all, there’s no mention of Aurelius Dumbledore in the Harry Potter books or Pottermore. The first and most obvious counterargument to Grindelwald’s claim, is that the dark wizard is lying about Credence’s identity to recruit him to his cause. There’s a lot to consider in light of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's ending. ![]()
