May We Meet again - Jamie Brown [original song] From Lexa to Clarke …

I haven’t slept at night, I should have stayed to fight, Stayed with you. I know you’re not the enemy, you seen the good that’s left in me, I should have stayed with you. You said we deserve better than this, I guess we do. But how can the leader of the ground, Love the leader of the sky crew.

May We Meet Again, When I can trust my heart and not my brain, Be safe and rescue your friends, Then maybe we can meet again. So if you go to the Capitol, maybe we can forget it all, And you’ll stay with me. We won’t have to be warriors, we can let down our barriors, and you can stay with me. You said we deserve better than this I guess we do, But how can the leader of the ground Love the leader of the sky crew. May We Meet Again, When I can trust my heart and not my brain, Be safe and rescue your friends, And may we meet again. May we meet again.

1. ROWLING CONFIRMED HIS DEATH, ONLY TO BACKTRACK

The interview in which Rowling fielded queries about Grindelwald’s Nazi affiliations also contained questions about whether the former Dark tyrant was still alive, and the author probably came to regret the answer that she gave. JK was speaking in 2005, just after the release of her sixth novel The Half-Blood Prince and a full two years before the publication of the seventh and final book in the series,The Deathly Hallows.

Just how much of the Harry Potter story arc Rowling had planned out from the very beginning is unknown, but her handwritten notes from The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Order of the Phoenix suggest that she doesn’t mind scribbling down an idea or two as she goes along. It seems quite clear that Grindelwald’s inclusion in The Deathly Hallows was a late decision, and one that she took knowing that she had already told the fans that the man Dumbledore defeated all those years ago was dead. Nevertheless, Grindelwald’s importance to Dumbledore made him an asset in the Elder Wand story line that she decided she’d discarded a little too soon.

2. HE SHOWED ALL THE TRAITS OF A GENUINE PSYCHOPATH

While Grindelwald and Voldemort were undeniably similar in many ways, a closer examination of their behaviors throughout the Harry Potter series reveals that the two darkest wizards of all time are actually fundamentally different, at least, from a psychological standpoint. 2013 medical text Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders argues that sociopaths and psychopaths share some key traits, like a disregard of the rule of law and the rights of others, as well as lack of remorse and a tendency to use violence as a means of getting what they want.

While these traits are present in both wizards, where they differ is in their approach. Sociopaths are defined by the way in which they mask their deceit with an imitation of trustworthiness, using lies and flattery to advance their agenda, much like a young Tom Riddle did while manipulating Professor Slughorn into revealing what he knew about the Deathly Hallows. Psychopaths, on the other hand, take a more predatory approach; attacking proactively, like Grindelwald did when he started the duel that killed Ariana Dumbledore.

The knife analogy is used to break down the fundamental difference between the conditions– confronted with a blade, the sociopath will flee and come back with a gun, while the psychopath will take a stab wound just to show he still holds the power. Voldemort spent his life plotting while Grindelwald quite literally laughed in the face of death.

3. HE WAS INFLUENCED BY NAZI GERMANY

Both Grindelwald and Voldemort have drawn comparisons to Adolf Hitler, with both wizards employing a similar tactic of ethnic cleansing while attempting to excuse their deeds on the grounds of their perceived purity. While Voldemort’s ethos most certainly falls in line with the former Nazi ruler, Rowling has admitted that it is no coincidence that Grindelwald was defeated in May 1945, just months before World War II came to an end. While she stopped short of admitting to wizards among the ranks of the Third Reich, the author did admit that there was a direct link between Grindelwald’s campaign of terror and the Second World War when pressed by a fan:

“I’m going to tell you as much as I told someone earlier who asked me… He asked about Grindelwald. He said, ‘Is it coincidence that he died in 1945,’ and I said no. It amuses me to make allusions to things that were happening in the Muggle world, so my feeling would be that while there’s a global Muggle war going on, there’s also a global wizarding war going on.”

Another clear sign of Grindelwald’s links to Nazi Germany is the name of his prison: Nurmengard, which sounds remarkably similar to Nuremberg, the Bavarian city where a number of the high ranking Nazi officials and members of the Third Reich were tried for their war crimes.

4. HE WAS MURDERED BY VOLDEMORT

When discussing Grindelwald’s history in the Dark Arts and his reputation on the international stage, Rita Skeeter’s The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore claimed that in a list ranking the Most Dangerous Dark Wizards of All Time, Grindelwald would “miss out on the top spot only because You-Know-Who arrived, a generation later, to steal his crown.” His reputation as the world’s leading exponent of the Dark Arts wasn’t the only thing Voldemort stole from him, however.

By the time Voldemort caught up with Grindelwald, the imprisoned wizard was in a bad way. While in the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 movie he doesn’t look all that bad considering, in the book Rowling describes Grindelwald’s condition at this stage as emaciated with great sunken eyes, a skull-like face, and few of his teeth remaining. He turned that toothless grin on Voldemort when he appeared in his cell and demanded to know the location of the Elder Wand, which, as far as Grindelwald was concerned, was lying with Dumbledore.

While movie Grindelwald is compliant and tells Voldemort what he needs to know, in Rowling’s novel the frail old wizard shows defiance in the face of his usurper, smiling as he watches Voldemort deliver the Killing Curse.

5. HE WAS LOCKED AWAY IN HIS OWN PRISON

To add insult to injury, Grindelwald was banged up in Nurmengard, the structure that he personally erected to hold his enemies during his reign of terror, after his defeat. The architect was still a strong believer in the message he and Dumbledore had planned to spread throughout the wizarding world when he built his towering fortress prison, and as such their motto “For the Greater Good” was incorporated into the design, ominously carved in stone over the entrance way.  

Rowling has described Nurmengard as a “grim fortress, jet black and foreboding,” and that only covers the exterior. Grindelwald’s cell was a dank room at the top of the tallest tower, with nothing in it but a cold stone bed and a dirty ragged blanket. To make matters worse for the toppled revolutionary, he was the prison’s only inhabitant. All the previous occupants were freed after his defeat at Dumbledore’s hand. Grindelwald lived as a prisoner here for a total of 53 years until another Dark Wizard’s search for the Elder Wand finally caught up with him.

6. HIS EVENTUAL DUEL WITH DUMBLEDORE WAS LEGENDARY

Grindelwald and Dumbledore hadn’t seen each other for 45 years when they finally came face-to-face for a duel that would determine the outcome of the Global Wizarding War, a conflict that had gripped the magical world for decades. Grindelwald had raised an army with the purpose of overthrowing the various Ministries of Magic across Europe and establishing a new wizard Empire based on the enslavement of Muggles the world over. Despite his fear of what Grindelwald might tell him, Dumbledore was left with no choice but to track him down.

The famous confrontation was later described by Dumbledore’s old friend and eyewitness Elphias Doge as the greatest wizarding duel of all time, lasting an incredible three hours and ending with the Dark Wizard’s defeat and arrest. What Doge didn’t realize at the time was that he had just witnessed the Elder Wand change allegiance from Grindelwald to Dumbledore, who would remain its owner until he was disarmed by an oblivious Draco Malfoy, shortly before his murder at the hands of Severus Snape.

7. DUMBLEDORE INITIALLY REFUSED TO FACE HIM

As Rowling mentioned during her outing of Dumbledore, his love for Grindelwald made watching his rise to power through nefarious means all the more difficult, and perhaps excused his early hesitation when the wizarding community began a rally cry for him to face his former ally in battle. Dumbledore was Head of Transfiguration at Hogwarts at the time and getting a reputation as a potential future Headmaster. He was someone with enough skill to stop Grindelwald’s reign of terror on the continent.

Later, as Headmaster, Dumbledore told Harry the truth about why he delayed meeting Grindelwald until his shameful behavior finally forced his hand, and it all relates back to the duel at Godric’s Hollow: “While I busied myself with the training of young wizards, Grindelwald was raising an army. They say he feared me, and perhaps he did, but less, I think, than I feared him… It was the truth I feared. You see, I never knew which of us, in that last, horrific fight, had actually cast the curse that killed my sister… I think he knew it.”

8. HE BECAME THE MOST FEARED DARK WIZARD OF HIS DAY

Grindelwald’s digging into the timeline of the Elder Wand lead him to a man by the name of Gregorovitch, a world-renowned wand maker who had been studying the famous wand’s properties as part of his efforts to duplicate them ever since it came into his possession. He was never given the chance to finish his experiments, however, as the sprightly Grindelwald broke into the wandsmith’s shop through a window and stunned him, thereby winning the allegiance of the ancient elderberry wand.

With one of the three fabled Hallows in hand, Grindelwald cut a bloody trail across Europe that lasted decades, murdering those who stood in his way (the grandfather of Bulgarian Quidditch star Viktor Krum is revealed as one of his many victims in The Deathly Hallows) and erecting the prison fortress Nurmengard to hold his enemies. The extent of his exploits has become even clearer recently with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which reveals that Grindelwald’s campaign in Europe wasn’t going unnoticed by Americans, who feared that the Dark Wizard’s attempt to overthrow the International Statute of Secrecy “could mean war“.
