In this latest online furor, misled by a clickbait headline, fans have taken issue with J.K. Rowling revealing that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had “incredibly intense” sex. However, she never actually said this.
Albus Dumbledore has more in common with the famous Merlin than a cloak and beard. Their similarities extend to their weaknesses, difficulties, and eventual dooms.
When Albus Dumbledore recovers the vial containing the blood pact with Gellert Grindelwald, he moves closer to their eventual confrontation. The symbolism of phoenixes and dragons, drawn from a long history of beast mythology, foreshadows the movement of their story from 1927 to 1945.
In the second “Fantastic Beasts” installment, J.K. Rowling brings Grindelwald to the foreground, emphasizing, in his characterization, his inner beast: the dragon. From his distinctive eye to his ability to envision the future, he has much in common with the dragons of universal myth.
There are plenty of magical moments in “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, and here are my top five.
How is the rivalry between Harry Potter and Voldemort similar to that of Dumbledore and Grindelwald?
J.K. Rowling doesn’t choose names by accident, and there might be a clue in the name “Aurelius.” Like Marcus Aurelius, could Credence be an adopted brother? Is Ariana’s Obscurus inside Credence?
Let’s be real here – Gellert Grindelwald does present some strong arguments for his cause.
