For me grindelwald scares me more than Voldemort ever did. Voldemort just killed anyone in his way but Grindelwald was more cold and calculating. The elder wand also answered to him unlike Voldemort as Grindelwald was one of its true owners, which enhanced his abilities.

[@tizyman7120]

Agreed, plus Grindelwald can feel emotions and understands them, this allows him to manipulate people, this makes him more dangerous than Voldemort but also better

[@m22d889]

Same here pretty much. Voldemort was just evil, senseless destruction and ambiguous violence with no end goal (beyond killing Harry) in sight. Grindelwald had a bigger impact in just 1-2 movies than what Voldemort tried in 7. Grindelwald is just more terrifying because of his calmness. No noise or yelling, screaming - pure Machiavellian thinking, almost poetic.

[@mzaartz4168]

Yep he was the in fact the guy who stole the elder wand from the first owner I think, in One of the Harry Potter movies, a scene where a guy was jumping out of the window with the elder wand. That was him, Grindelwald

Differences between Grindelwald and Voldemort: 1. Voldemort didn't know what is love, nor did he think it was powerful. Grindelwald knew love, felt love, and respected the power of love. 2. Voldemort killed for pleasure. Grindelwald killed to execute his sinister plans. 3. Voldemort gained followers by threatening them, Grindelwald gained followers by making them believe they were right. 4. Voldemort was feared, Grindelwald was feared, respected, and awed. 5. Voldemort knew he was evil and liked it, Grindelwald believed he had the right idea. 6. Grindelwald had a lot of style (like Dumbledore😉) ,Voldemort simply did not. Edit: 7. Grindelwald has a nose. Voldemort doesn't.

[@mytotim8978]

Grindelwald was a true user of the Elder Wand.

[@narcisis4147]

Grindelwald was feared by his enemies and extremely respected by his followers. He was already an acknowledged powerful wizard but the fact was he not only wielded a legendary deathly hallows but also had the gall the state what all wizards thought at the time. He also knew the future to an extent. What he wanted wasn’t senseless destruction he wanted a better world where his people didn’t have to fear others or hide and he was willing to kill in order to achieve it.

[@Phoenixfede1989]

I would add the following: Voldemort feared death, Grindelwald doesn´t. Grindelwald is someone leading his people in a battle as the first man infront of his army and would die for everyone of them Here is something that came to my mind just now: Voldemort never disarmed or killed the rightful owner of the Elder Wand because Harry disarmed Draco who disarmed Dumbledor. Voldemort thought Snape is the rightful owner of the wand because Snape killed Dumbledore. But Harry went infront of him in the forrest and then Voldemort killed him, destroying the hocrux inside of Harry in the process. Harry was in limbo but came back after that. So here would i ask the following: Is a simple getting killed and the hocrux inside you destroyed and come back to life again enough for the Elder Wand to say: "Yeah sorry non-nose dude, but i stay with that guy over there" or could it be that Voldemorts fear of death and his creation of horcruxes against Harry who steped infront of him, welcoming death, just simply showed himself not worthy enough to be the true master of the Elder Wand and the wand again says "sorry non-nose dude, but i stay with that guy"

Johnny Depp IS Grindelwald. Nobody can replace him. As with everything he does, Johnny owned that role and brought this character to life in ways nobody else can. It is an absolute joke he has been axed for some "allegations." There was a reason he was selected in the first place to play this character. Johnny is one of the few versatile actors who can transform himself so convincingly on screen that the audience becomes immersed and transfixed by him. The people responsible for dropping him are going to look like fools once Johnny's name has been finally cleared.

[@justiceblue.fenris5790]

yes that is true! Colin was good too but Johnny woow.

[@ninclow5421]

I don't know - unlike Colin Farrell, Depp never seemed to believe his own words, he just sort of sounded like someone who wanted those around him to believe what he said. Grindelwald is supposed to be a man who lives in service to his own ideals, and I never got that from Depp. He came off as far, far too power-hungry and egotistical, in a sense. Farrell came off as someone who lead the revolution because he felt honour bound to do so, that it was his duty as one of the best and brightest wizards of his day to do what he could to elevate wizardkind to what he in fact saw as their rightful place in the world, and not necessarily because he had this desire to rule over it for its own sake.

[@ninclow5421]

@@NtoTheM Before he was exposed as Grindelwald, I figured Graves had been somehow infatuated with Grindelwald's ideology and become a follower. How cool wouldn't that be, and how dangerous/formidable wouldn't that make Grindelwald appear, if he can influence people that much over such a vast distance, even in places where his following don't really have a huge foothold? Up until Grindelwald dueled all those thirty+ Aurors at once in the New York underground, Graves had done nothing to suggest he wasn't a "normal wizard", with the wandless magic being potentially explained away by their geographical proximity to South America, where wandless magic once were commonplace. When we saw how effortlessly Graves bested Newt and the ease with witch he fended off Tina, I remember thinking like: "Is this how good Mad-Eye Moody was in his prime?" A redemption arc where Graves joined Grindelwald in film 1 and joined Dumbledore's efforts to defeat him later, that'd be cool.

[@anthonyjanthonycrowley898]

Grindelwald is so much scarier than voldemort because he doesn’t *force* people to join him. He appeals to them, he has thousands more followers that are loyal to him and willing to die for him. Whereas voldemort has maybe hundreds of followers, but only a handful would die for him, they follow him in order to save themselves.

[@m22d889]

Funnily enough, outside of Bellatrix Lestrange very few were ever loyal to Voldemort till the end. Heck, most of the Death Eaters even ran away during the Battle of Hogwarts after Harry got up again in the courtyard to fight him. Voldemort attempted loyalty through fear not respect. Grindelwald and his ideals would win respect in my book any day. Would make sense for him to have more loyal followers than Voldemort.

No doubt dumbeldore also got manipulated by him...and loved him in a philosophical way... Voldemort is phsycopath who wants immortality and wanna become the most powerful....he also fears death....while grindelwald was doing everything for his greater good and he could even die for that...he had better understanding than voldemort...for albus dumbeldore defeated him but wasn't able to defeat voldemort cause he didn't want to....he was just holding him.... Voldemort vs. Harry potter.....voldemort and his arrogance are dead... Grindelwald vs. Harry potter.... Epic and difficult to tell ..whether it had be the boy who lived or the boy who died... Voldermort was darker but grindelwald was wayyyy more dangerous... He also understood emotions....I am not saying he was a good guy but atleast he was better than voldemort.... Like voldemort wanted to kill a baby and he didn't even think once...and grindelwald couldn't see the baby die... Grindelwald is a leader....his followers....he calls them frnds...and they are real loyal to grindelwald...

[@ninclow5421]

@@Lolbama2012 You know, Rowling should have written a prequel series to give David Yates more of a source material to draw on. Short of that, at the very _least_ the franchise should have with Newt at Hogwarts, his expulsion, and having to face his family afterwards. Rowling mentioned that Newt, unlike Hagrid, got to keep his wand and practice magic, which I can only assume is because of how Newt, unlike Hagrid at the time, had sat his O.W.L.s by the time he was expelled, which was valid credentials in the working life and testified to the fact that unlike younger children, who knew too little about magic to be safely left to their own devices and therefore had their wands snapped, Newt was seen as knowing enough magic to still be a productive member of society. I can see it now.... Newt is sixteen, and the year is 1913... The movie centres around Newt and Tina, where we are introduced to them as Hogwarts students. The scenes from Crimes of Grindelwald are included and unchanged... During a meal at the Great Hall, we are indirectly introduced to Newt Scamander's brother when some of Newt's housemates that had been leaning over the day's addition of the Daily Prophet and remarks that Newt's brother are in the paper again: Theseus Scamander, the brightest young star in the Auror department, now with more than a dozen successful captures of dangerous, Dark wizards under his belt in the past six months alone. The first portion of this part of the three-act structure ends with Newt taking the blame for Leta's accidental endangerment the life of a fellow student after one of her experiments with a Jarvey went out of control, resulting in Newt sitting in what would one day become Dumbledore's office, seated in front of the desk of then Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black, surrounded by teachers. After harshly berating Newt for his recklessness, Professor Black informs him that the fellow student that the Jarvey had attacked had to be transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital, and that he had already been in contact with the Board of Governors, who fortunately for him had confirmed that the victim's family had accepted the explanation that it was a "freak accident" and did not hold the faculty responsible. He then opened Newt's student file, listing his various indiscretions and apparent disregard for authority, citing examples such as the month's worth of detention he got from for his impertinence towards the school's esteemed Charms Master. Professor Dumbledore sends one of his colleagues present a disapproving look before stepping forward to argue that Professor Prendergast, who had been the Head of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures at the Ministry before Black hired him, had always been biased against Newt or his fondness for the sort of creatures he used to execute. Professor Black sneeringly reminds him of past conversations where he had told him that he could not protect Newt forever, and declared his decision to expel Newt from Hogwarts, nastily remarking that it was past time. Dumbledore objects, but the Headmaster has said his final word on the matter, and we see a broken-hearted Newt pack his belongings in his dormitory and exit the Hufflepuff Common Room. Leta is waiting for him outside of it, and insists that she can make it right by coming clean, but Newt stubbornly refuses, and only urges her to look after his friends on Bowtruckle Island before he leaves her, looking devastated. He is then met by his parents in the Great Hall, who looks furious and were bitterly ashamed, and Theseus, the only one of them that seems to consider what Newt might be going through, tries to encouragingly point out that at least Newt was allowed to keep his wand and do magic, but Newt does not reply, and we see the Scamanders leave the grounds in silence; seen by a heavy-hearted Dumbledore through a window. He sighs, and the scene fades to black as we see through the window the distant figures exit through the front gates of the castle with Newt's trunk levitating after them. I even have an idea for an in-between sequel between film 2 and the original FB, if you're interested?

[@kinpacz5903]

Im seeing a lot of comments comparing Voldy to Grindelwald. Dumbledore and Grindelwald had their legendary duel when they were in their 60s, which is basically the "prime" age in wizards. It was described as the greatest duel in wizarding history. Even dumbeldore in HP books admitted their intellect and skill was on par with one another, though his was just a touch better. Dumbledore at 116 years old clapped Voldemort whilst trapping Bellatrix and keeping harry safe all at once(book), and despite Voldy going all out, Dumbledore wasn't even going for the kill, he just wanted to stall. Imagine then what a prime Grindelwald would do to Voldemort in a duel :/ Furthermore, Grindelwald had more or less conquered all of Europe, with GB being the exception cause of Dumbledore, whilst Voldemort could barely take over England in his 11 year campaign, before his first "death". Furthermore, Voldemorts fear of love and ignorance to the affect it can have on magic really puts him in a spot compared to Grindelwald who understands the power of the emotions. People followed Grindelwald because he spoke to their hearts. They believed in him. Voldemorts followers joined by fear, or personal greed and the second he was destroyed the first time, they went back to their lives and didn't even bother to search for their lord in 14 years, until he returned. Just to point out, I give mad cred to Voldy and ofc he is a top tier wizard, but the lists always puts him on top of Grindelwald and that just isn't true IMO. With all that said, now that I've explained how fkn boss Grindelwald truly is, let this next piece of nugget sink in: Despite all his epic ness, Albus Dumbledore managed to beat him EVEN WITH Grindelwald being in possession of the Elder Wand.

[@aspiringjoker2883]

Also, Dumbledore never said he was more powerful than Grindelwald, but he was "a shade more skillful." Albus was am academic overachiever, while Grindelwald focused on personal interests like the Hallows and his experiments that got him expelled. Albus completed seven years of schooling, and graduated, while Grindelwald was expelled halfway through his sixth of nine years. Furthermore, while Albus taught Transfiguration (or defense against the dark arts) and expanded his knowledge and repertoire of spells, Grindelwald focused on campaigning and building up a cult following and searching for the aforementioned Deathly Hallows. Taking all that into account, it makes perfect sense that Dumbledore would be Grindelwalds superior in terms of skill (more than just a shade). Dumbledore, as we've already established, is more powerful in his seniority than Voldemort was in his prime. Grindelwald is more powerful than Voldemort, and just as powerful as Dumbledore.

[@mutt-the-barbarian]

I think maybe powerful and dueling get mixed up. Dueling is just another subject at magic. Sure having more powerful magic will give you the edge but it isn't going to mean you're winning fights automatically. Voldemort stood out as the most powerful just because how far he could push the limits. Making 7 horcruxes probably isn't something to scoff at, keeping ones soul together probably isn't easy, among his other magical feats. Can't just base power off a fist fight sometimes.

Yes Voldemort was more powerful and did succeed in conquering Great Britan’s Ministry of Magic for a time But he was like a mad beast, unhinged and obesssed over one target Grindelwald isn’t held back by insanity or obsession He sees the bigger picture and pursued it Voldemort fears death and obsesses over the Killing Curse believing it’s the worse he can do to his victims Grindelwald is more well rounded and uses an arsenal of Dark Spells with mastery as well as manipulation He had a global following and may have led a revolution across the world if Dumbledore didn’t stop him

Random mob of dumbasses screeching on Twitter can ruin your life in a matter of days, then you have to fight for *years* just to have a tiny chance at clearing your name. And even if you can, there’s never any real consequences for them. That’s why they keep doing it- it works, and they know they can just get away with it.
