grindewald

Grindelwald spent the beginning of his life in Durmstrang, conducting various experiments there. For this, he was expelled from school, and he went to his aunt in Godric's Hollow. There he met Albus Dumbledore. Grindelwald wanted to become the greatest wizard of all time, to gain absolute power over the world of wizards and Muggles. It was he who managed to get hold of the Elder Wand, a dangerous artifact that makes its owner incredibly powerful. Date of birth: between summer 1882 and summer 1983 Role in the saga: one of the darkest and most powerful magicians in the magical world Where he studied: at the wizarding school Durmstrang, located in Bulgaria. In the mid-20s, Grindelwald made a secret foray into America, where he attempted to use for his own purposes a little-studied phenomenon known as an "obscurus" - a parasitic clot of dark energy. Gellert does not like animals, as he wanted to destroy Newt Scamander's animals and threw Antonio's chuppacabra into the sea. There are guesses, confirmed by J. Rowling, that Grindelwald collaborated with the fascists of Bulgaria and even met with Hitler. In 1940, Grindelwald's allies helped the Wehrmacht troops capture France. In middle age, Grindelwald appeared as a pale-skinned man with white hair and a blue right eye and a brown left eye. Grindelwald was a narcissistic egotist with a short temper. At the same time, he was goal-oriented, ready to fight for his ideals and did not tolerate anyone getting in his way. Grindelwald was a professional orator and charismatic, able to persuade people by presenting himself as a friendly and understanding person. Grindelwald invented and made his distinctive mark the symbol of the Deathly Hallows: an equilateral triangle with a circle inscribed in it, and a hypotenuse dropped from the upper vertex.

Grindelwald was good at playing other people's roles and had an artistic flair: he played the role of Percival Graves for 10 years without giving any reason for exposure, and also managed to play Abernathy perfectly, without arousing suspicion. Grindelwald was on the list of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time and was second only to Voldemort. According to J.K. Rowling, Dumbledore was homosexual and once had romantic feelings for Grindelwald, but Gellert did not reciprocate his feelings.
