Gellert Grindelwald Character Analysis

An evil Eastern European wizard. He and Dumbledore met as young men, when Grindelwald visited Bathilda Bagshot in Godric's Hollow at the same time as Dumbledore was living there to care for Ariana. A brilliant wizard, he and Dumbledore became great friends and began to plot—though Grindelwald held troubling beliefs about the necessity of subjugating Muggles, which Dumbledore went along with. The men's friendship ended during a duel with Aberforth, when one of their spells hit Ariana and killed her. Grindelwald returned to his home country where he began his own reign of terror, which Dumbledore put a stop to with a famous duel in the 1940s. Later, Harry discovers that Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand from the wandmaker Gregorovitch, which is how the wand passed into Dumbledore's possession.

Chapter Eighteen Quotes

Dumbledore had left them to grope in the darkness, to wrestle with unknown and undreamed-of terrors, alone and unaided: nothing was explained, nothing was given freely, they had no sword, and now, Harry had no wand. And he had dropped the photograph of the thief, and it would surely be easy now for Voldemort to find out who he was...Voldemort had all the information now...
