In "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the young Harry on the train knows together with us at the time that Dumbledore's most famous contribution is the defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945.
It was our first exposure to the wizarding world, and our image of the Dark Wizard was still the parasitic Voldemort behind Quirrell's head.
Later, Aunt Rowling's story was written and written, and we learned that Dumbledore once had love.
Then, in 2016, the Fantastic Beasts series came and Grindelwald came on, and we got to know what the monster who ruled all of Europe looked like - oh, he's so handsome, he's so charismatic.
So we understand Dumbledore's love.
And then, we know that the entire Fantastic Beasts quintet revolves around their love and killing, sugar and knives, and at the same time, love and peace in the entire world.
After 1899, before 1945, the era when the two heroes stood side by side, the era when the black curtain and cunning wisdom coexisted, that era, about him, with him.
Grindelwald
Durmstrang graduating student, MLM boss all over Europe, extremely pure-blooded, eloquent, demagogic, talented, and charming - this is the wizarding world of the year or the Muggle of 2018 Does the world have a common understanding of Grindelwald?
Whether it is the middle-aged GG created by Depp, or the 16-year-old golden bird created by Jamie, they are all undisguised aggressive charms that hit people's hearts. When intuitive charm and brilliance are combined, when such beauty Collision with such evil, when the outstanding handsome meets the extreme bad, when the bright beauty blends with the extreme darkness, Grindelwald is even more addicting.
Grindelwald is a temptation.
His evil personality charm attracts people, his pyramid-selling slogans confuse people, he uses VR roadshows to stimulate people, his speeches that vary from person to person induce people, and his methods of spreading news are overwhelming and irresistible. His initiation ceremony through the flames is full of ceremonial sense, and his declaration of war is a large-scale firework show that makes his followers confused... So he has gained supporters all over Europe, and his followers are bright and beautiful, and their slogans are so clear —For the Greater Good.
Master, always make you feel that what you do is beneficial to the world. Gellert Grindelwald was a real master, something that his descendant Tom Riddle couldn't match. Working for Grindelwald, they were willing; running for Voldemort, they were walking on thin ice.
However, Grindelwald could not only seduce ordinary people of his time, he could seduce the equally remarkable Dumbledore. Seeing the blond Jamie, I have no doubt that 18-year-old Dumbledore in 1898 would quickly fall in love with him and forget about his younger sister in need of care regardless of the conflict of ideas. This person is too dazzling, his appearance, thoughts, and abilities are all unrestrained, dazzling and aggressive, and no one can resist. The summer they spent in Godric's Hollow should have been the most unforgettable summer in their lives. It's about desire and love, about dreams and greatness. When such a golden wind and jade dew meet, it really wins the world.
Grindelwald's insights and ideas are Dumbledore's desire and love, and also the dark side of the genius Dumbledore - what brilliant man has no dark side?
Dumbledore himself
The heartbreak in Jude Law's eyes was undisguised when Dumbledore said, "No, we are closer than brothers" in middle age in front of many officials at the Ministry of Magic.
once.
It's nice to be young. Forgot which HP was in, the white-haired Dumbledore said, "It's good to be young, and you can get hurt for love." The injury he suffered from love when he was young was the pain of his life. That short love made him lose his sister's life, his brother's trust, and his dream of conquering the world, but at the same time, it also gave him more.
That short-lived love made him recognize himself, and the dangerous thoughts of his lover made him understand the softness of his heart. They are so the same, yet so different.
They have the same talent and the same desire, and their desire is to give the wizarding world a better future. However, their difference lies in the understanding of good. In Grindelwald's view, Muggles are livestock and should be used by wizards. In Dumbledore's view, the Muggle world and the wizarding world are equally interesting and should live in harmony and blend with each other.
But in their young minds, a better future converged into GG—Greater Good. When you were young, if you loved someone, you would treat him with all your tenderness. That story is rosy, that memory is the wind in the fields, and that time is the flash of dreams. The golden color - in Bathilda's memory, what a beautiful Mood for Love.
Then as time went on, Ariana's death ended it all. All this has become a wound of the past.
He became the notorious dark wizard, he became the world-renowned GREAT Dumbledore. ——In fact, it’s just different political ideas. This world has always been king and loser. If history was written by Grindelwald, what would it look like?
However, even if he was trapped in England and could not fight against him, the great Dumbledore still did not stop. Newt's American trip in FB1 originated from his planning. In FB2, whether it was the safe house in France or the people who contacted Nicole May in the book, they all revealed that the great Dumbledore has been going on a great journey. The unknown confrontation with that person.
He said "I CANT" to the Ministry of Magic officials, but he was ready to destroy the blood curse.
I don't know what is the definition of Aunt Rowling's blood curse? The unbreakable oath generated by two drops of blood is a scene that is more shocking than the Red Courage Loyalty Curse. It generates an incomparably gorgeous pendant with flowing blood and misty mist. It is about love, past, and trust. How much would it cost to destroy such a thing? After destroying this thing, can the connection in their hearts be cut off?
Unknown, unspeakable.
Looking forward to a wonderful future
A lot of people don't like FB2 because they think there are too many clues. But I like it very much. Those unknowable futures, those unresolved events, those mysterious new characters, too many expectations, too many possibilities.
Did that little Gryffindor boy from Defence Against the Dark Arts later play an important role at the Ministry of Magic?
What is the story of the Asian Grindelwald traitor who accidentally said "great"?
The Lestrange family set off from France to the United States, did they take the Titanic?
How did the beautiful Melodyx Nagini become what Voldemort calls the "good girl" Horcrux, and what happened to her?
Credence turned out to be a member of the Dumbledore family, who is he? How could he really stand up to Albus Dumbleley?
The end of FB2 is only in 1927. There are still 18 years before the demise of Grindelwald. What will happen in these 18 years?
Can the blackened Queenie find her way back?
What would a professor at Hogwarts do to a blood curse?
What other adventures will Newt have?
Can Credence be turned back by love?
Too many unknowns, too many possibilities. But it's all about love. Voldemort didn't understand love, so he lost to Harry; Grindelwald didn't understand love, so he lost Dumbledore and will eventually lose his rule over the world. The entire Harry Potter universe is all about love.
Looking forward to the next one, and looking forward to the next one accompanied by the appearance of the castle in the valley, accompanied by familiar music, we will encounter the magical world again, and then imagine the owl that we missed in childhood.
