We know Credence is going to fail in that mission. And I'm not convinced yet that he's a brother. The timeline doesn't work.

[@tiaaaron3278]

If it's a blood pact,then maybe it needs blood I.e a sacrifice to be undone. Credence may end up being that sacrifice.

[@traillbit]

And it doesn't even make sense. Even if Creedance dies in the next story or something you're telling me neither Albus or Aberforth would even make mention of another brother they had years later? And this wouldn't be something even mentioned in Rita Skeeters book exposing all of Albus secrets?

[@theelindseybri]

@@traillbit true. But we saw how it took books later fir even the mention of a Dumbledore sister. So who really knows? Also I'm pretty sure the Phoenix is convincing enough seeing as that it only rises for a member of the Dumbledore family. Just gotta wait till 2020 tho 😭

[@tiaaaron3278]

@@theelindseybri What if Credence is part of Albus? He was born after Ariana's death,maybe he's the result of all the trauma Albus has to endure (death of Kendra and Ariana,losing Gellert,his fallout with his brother).

[@gaiane4783]

@@theelindseybri did we know about this phoenix fact before this movie? (It could have been said before, I haven't really following the Harry Potter world much lately ) Because if it hadn't been said, it could just as well been a fact made up by Grindelwald to convince credence...

a bit of criticism on this movie and on Rowling would be very much deserved though since there is a reason why many people didn't like this, he ignores all the flaws this movie has and pretends that people who do acknowlegde the flaws are just delusional.

I think it doesn’t matter in the HP series what Dumbledore’s sexual orientation is. It wouldn’t matter to the flow of the story and honestly it isn’t anybody’s business. He can relate to the theme of lost love or one sided love, but he doesn’t have to explain himself to anyone. If JKR wants to write a back story and say that he is, that’s her business. In this case of FB-CoG, it does matter as it continues to explore the theme of love and explains Dumbledore’s past. It would be an entirely different matter if JKR said, oh by the way Harry is gay and the only reason he is with Ginny is so he can see Ron more, with whom he is in love. That’s when you call BS.

I believe that Grindelwald was never romantically interested in Dumbledore, but was more in awe of his wizarding skills and his family's background and connections with the ministry to push his ideology thoughout the wizarding community.

[@quetzalcoatltopiltzin2423]

Poor boy, Rowling said openly Grindelwald and Dumbledore were lovers in a passional relationship, and of course they had sex. Go to buy blue ray. Sorry for homophobes.

[@myyklmax]

@@quetzalcoatltopiltzin2423 I'm not being homophobic in my theory. I'm just suggesting that Grindelwald used Dumbledore's attraction and affections for him to get Albus as an ally to further his ideals for the wizarding community. The fact that Gellert is willing to kill Albus shows that, to him [Gindelwald], their relationship was a means to an end.

[@Gyrannon]

Regardless of what you believe, what the author says is true of the stories is in fact true. It's entirely possible that when they made the Blood Pact, it was meant as a way of solidifying their relationship, their version of Wedding Bands. But afterward, they likely had a falling out, and knew that Dumbledore would never join him considering how much they changed. Even though Grindelwald during that time is the owner of The Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the world, Grindelwald still fears him. Also, Credence is the most powerful of his kind, so it's entirely possible that he's gambling rather than being sure. If he wanted to kill him, a Blood Pact does make that goal hard as hell to do - It likely will kill them both, or kill the attacker. Just doesn't make any sense. It's like placing an explosive near each other's hearts if the other dies, when you intend to kill the other, it makes the act & plan incredibly stupid.

[@conserztasfia0078]

[@jessicamarsh9779]

I HONESTLY don’t think that’s true, that Grindelwald didn’t love Dumbledore. People CONSTANTLY compare Grindelwald to Lord Voldamore but people don’t realize he’s not as “evil”. In his eyes, he’s doing something “good”, not killing muggles, not hating muggle borns, just not wanting to hide (not that it’s a good thing but that’s his view points & beliefs). I think he truly loved Dumbledore as much as Dumbledore loved him, they just had different view points that made their relationship fall. Grindelwald isn’t nearly as evil as Lord Voldermore & people need to stop seeing him as THAT evil & see him more as a man with strong beliefs that aren’t conventional.

[@martavdz4972]

Thanks so much, after watching your videos, it makes so much sense that you studied script writing and you come from a literatue background :-) Because your videos have an essayistic quality about them.

Dumbledore said in Half blood prince chapter 24, “Horcruxes” Not all of the prophecies come true. Harry being the chosen one or not, wasn’t important after all, in the end Voldemort believed to that prophecy so either way Harry or Voldemort should’ve lived and other one would die. Harry hated Voldemort because he killed his family, meanwhile Voldemort feared the prophecy so that’s why he went after Potter family (he chose Potters instead of Longbottoms because probably he believed that Harry was mixed blood wizard as he was) one way or another they had to kill each other.

I am tempted to mimic Senator Palpatine: "Morgan Ross, I intend to follow your career closely." Actually, Palpatine was no longer a Senator, and I don't intend to stalk you. You did warn us about spoilers, but as you finished this video, I wondered whether you had spoiled the entire prequel series for me through your insightful analysis. I didn't grow up on J.K. Rowling. The author who affected me in a similar way was C.S. Lewis - which means I have decades on most Potterheads. Nevertheless, in the last month, I have explored the universe Jo Rowling created and I consider myself fan, if only fringeworthy. Your channel became my go-to channel for gaining more grasp on the Potter saga: your reputation is well-earned. I wish you continued success as you continue your career - wherever it takes you.

I'd say that although I can see the similarities between both Newt and Percy, most of that is more common tropes and also a coincidence. Percy and Newt just aren't similar enough for that connection to be made, and it could be argued that Percy chose a very bold and obvious side to go against his family (his rebellious phase came late), whereas Newt chooses NOT to pick any side so as to not go against his values.

[@magickgeminid2944]

two things, what you said about Theseus, because Theseus is bae for ever, being similar to what happened with Percy and his family....that would mean one of the brothers will die in the future. Immediately after percy comes to his senses, Fred dies and Percy witnesses it. Even more, Percy who has always been complete opposite of the twins, cracks a joke and that causes Fred and him to bond even if momentarily. That said, they can't come for bae *hides Theseus* meanwhile, i don't get why people are mad that Dumbledore, who was revealed as gay more than a decade ago, also the heavy implications of the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald as exposed in the books, as if this was not told. Dumbledore admits that he let his 'fondness" of cloud his judgment on Grindelwald's actual character. Its also known they spent an inordinate amount of time together. Bathilda described it as entire days together and Aberforth confirms this. They'd even send letters at night. Do people seriously think their only conversation was about world domination with all that time together? II know you reviewd the movie positively, movieflame. I'd like however, for you to do a more detailed review or take a stance on the issue. I've done all sorts of research myself, I found that Minerva could have been older since its heavily implied she taught Agatha Longbottom, Neville's grandmother for instance. As nuanced you are, you'd be able to bring these issues to light

[@cressidalestrange6263]

See how manipulative Grindelwald is? I mean, if I’m not wrong, in Deathly Hallows Dumbledore explains to Harry that he (Dumbledore) was in love with Grindelwald, therefore he was blinded by his love. Because of his love for Grindelwald, he didn’t stop Grindelwald from taking on his plans. It *was* a one-sided relationship, with Dumbledore being the one to love the other person. Grindelwald took advantage of this little crush and used it to his advantage. So how can Rowling say they had a passionate love relationship? I don’t get it that’s just me
