a note on gellert’s nationality

I headcanon Gellert’s origins as Austro-Hungarian, with an Austrian father and a Hungarian mother. My reasoning is that the name/spelling Gellert, actually Gellért with an accent, is much more commonly Hungarian rather than German, with Szent Gellért (Gerard of Csanád, d. 1046) as one of the patron saints of Hungary. Gellért Hill in Budapest is named after this saint. The typical German variant of the name Gellert/Gellért is Gerhard.

Gellert’s surname, Grindelwald, refers to a village in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, so it is reasonable to assume he has ancestors there. However, the Habsburg family, who had ruled Austria from 1278 (Battle on the Marchfeld) until 1918 (when Emperor Charles I of Austria “renounced participation” in affairs of the state), was also originally from Switzerland: Their originating seat is Habsburg Castle in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland. I’d like to think that Gellert has a distant Swiss heritage in common with the (then still) ruling family of the multinational empire he was from.

Gregorovitch burst into the room at the end of the passage and his lantern illuminated what looks like a workshop; wood shavings and gold gleamed in the swinging pool of light, and there on the window ledge sat perched, like a giant bird, a young man with golden hair. In the split second that the lantern’s light illuminated him, Harry saw the delight upon his handsome face, then the intruder shot a Stunning Spell from his wand and jumped neatly backward out of the window with a crow of laughter. (Deathly Hallows, Chapter 14, Page 279/281)

Seeing the concept art of Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald got me re-invested in Grindelwald.

This is not based off of Mads at all, but he was the catalyst. I also just wanted to practice drawing curly hair again. So, this is a redraw of the scene where he steals the elder wand, with a little more mischief in him to match the description he’s given in the book (which I just now hunted down and added above). Also inspired a bit by @bloodlooser ‘s young Grindelwald

Just received my copy of Dark Paradise by LOFTER artist 皮卡皮卡, and it is all kinds of amazing! There were copies sold at cp27, but I had arrived far too late to get one, so this was bought later. I’ve been following her on LOF for quite some time, and her artwork (especially her commissions for other fanworks) is beyond words. I’ve been collecting fan books for a long time, but this is absolutely one of the best I’ve ever seen. Now I’m starting to miss all the other fanworks I left behind in Shanghai...

This was a trial of his restraint and he was winning… but barely.

In all honesty, I didn’t much like coloring, so I doubt I’ll be doing any more of it later. I can’t work much right now. Next week I’ll try to update a few fanfics.

Albus and Gellert rare moment of peace that tragic summer 😔

Gellert wearing dark clothes is on point but I think he should go for a Snow Queen look sometimes ❄️

[extravagantlylestat]

Grindelwald just never had eyebrows, and that’s okay. (because Mads Mikkelsen)
