Dumbledore’s Grindelwald Plan Explained

It was all about protecting the Qilin

Dumbledore knew he couldn’t duel Grindelwald because of their blood pact, which prevented them from fighting each other, so the best thing he could do was make sure the dark wizard didn’t gain any more ground in his rise to power. However, this was easier said than done. Dumbledore’s plan was primarily to thwart Grindelwald in any way he could, ensuring that the qilin was not in his possession. This proved more difficult, considering Grindelwald’s allies had already captured one of the two qilins.

Dumbledore still had the upper hand here because his former lover didn’t immediately know there were two of the creatures. He devised a scheme that would make Grindelwald and his acolytes think they had the upper hand. Protecting the second qilin was the most crucial aspect of his plan, so he had Newt carry the same suitcase. Dumbledore knew what Grindelwald was doing and wanted to make sure the Wizarding World saw that he rigged the election, keeping the revelation of the qilin still alive until the right moment.

The other parts of Dumbledore’s plan – stopping Santos’ murder and trying to convince Anton Vogel to do what was right – were secondary to protecting the qilin until it was needed. Dumbledore knew that the other parts of the plan could go wrong, and the qilin was the final and most important part of it all. If Grindelwald killed the two qilin before the election ceremony, preventing the assassination and convincing Vogel would have been futile.

Why Anton Vogel helps Grindelwald gain power

Vogel wanted to stay on Grindelwald’s good side

Anton Vogel ignored Dumbledore’s message about doing what was right and not what was easy. Germany’s Minister for Magic was an intriguing and unexpected foil to Newt and Dumbledore’s crew, especially since the audience never knew which side he would choose. Vogel was already stepping down as Supreme Chief of the International Confederation of Wizards.S. By encouraging Grindelwald to run for election, Vogel prepared himself for the future. Rigging the election to ensure the qilin would choose Grindelwald meant that Vogel would always have an internal ally.

He also supported Grindelwald’s ideology, supporting the dark wizard and wanting nothing more than to see wizards and witches claim their place in the world without being separated from the Muggle world. With Grindelwald as leader of the ICW, Vogel could continue to be influential rather than losing his power. Vogel also knew how powerful Grindelwald was and how frustrated his followers would be if he did not secure a place as a candidate in the election.

Ultimately, Vogel was corrupt and practiced the same dark magic as Grindelwald and had absolutely no shame in working with him to achieve his goals. He certainly was never interested in doing what was right if it meant he could manipulate the system to his and Grindelwald’s advantage.especially since Vogel didn’t agree with Dumbledore.

Why Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s blood pact was broken

Dumbledore fought for love and Grindelwald for anger

Dumbledore and Grindelwald made a blood pact years before – and before they became enemies – that would prevent them from dueling each other. The blood pact is essentially why Dumbledore recruited a team to thwart Grindelwald. However, this pact was broken at the end of Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets after Grindelwald pointed his wand at Aurelius to kill him.

Dumbledore sought to protect his nephew with a spell. When his and Grindelwald’s spells connected, the blood pact deteriorated because Dumbledore’s defense was out of love, while Grindelwald’s was out of anger and hate. The broken blood pact is a big problem because it is a very powerful thing. It was also the only thing that stopped the two wizards from fighting each other.

This also means that the sacred oath between them is no longer something that binds them, and their relationship is now as broken as the blood pact. This paves the way for Dumbledore and Grindelwald to eventually engage in another duel. And although the blood pact may no longer exist, there is still a strong bond between them because of the pact.

What does Aurelius being obscure really mean?

His powers were repressed as a child

Like Ariana Dumbledore, Aurelius was also revealed to be an Obscurial, a wizard whose magic was repressed as a child. An Obscurus, in particular, is a dark force of magic that is brought to the surface because of this repression, which was made worse by his adoptive mother’s abuse. It is uncontrollable and acts as a parasite for the wizard or witch. For Aurélio, his Obscurus transformation brings about an imminent darkness that overwhelms him in his attack on others.

When provoked, Aurelius’s magic is released and is quite frightening, but he does not have a firm understanding of what it does when it is unleashed. It takes a group of Aurors to stop Aurelius for exactly this reason. In some ways, it works like a magical illness, and those who develop Obscurus don’t live long. The fact that Aurélio lives to adulthood is indicative of how powerful an Obscurial he is.

Aurélio was close to death in Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secretswith the Obscurus consuming much more energy. The more he used such power, the more it drained and poisoned him, leaving him physically weaker than before. The end of Fantastic Beasts 3 suggests that Aurelius is closer to death now more than ever and his reunion with Aberforth will likely mean his final days will be spent in the house where he always belonged.

Why are Qilins revered (and where are they in Harry Potter?)

These creatures see if someone has a pure heart

In Fantastic Beasts 3Qilin are magical creatures that can see into a person’s soul to find out if they have good intentions and a pure heart. Wizards and witches greatly respected the qilin for having so much insight and intuition about them, so they began using the magical creature as part of the ICW election ceremony. Any witch or wizard who was the purest-hearted candidate would receive a bow from the qilinwhich is the deciding factor for them to become the next leader of ICW.

To that end, the qilins had a lot of power. Grindelwald knew he was not pure of heart, so he tried to rig the election in his favor by resurrecting the qilin he killed. Furthermore, the qilin’s blood allowed him to see things he couldn’t before. In mythology, the legend of the qilin, a unicorn-like creature, originated in China. Qilins were considered a sign of prosperity and were thought to usher in (or hint at the death of) a wise and notable leader. This mythology is in accordance with what is presented in Fantastic Beasts 3.

Interestingly, the film is the first time qilins are mentioned. Considering they were so crucial to the Wizarding World’s ICW election ceremony, it’s a little strange that they weren’t part of the Harry Potter books or films. It is possible that at the moment Harry Potter As it turns out, qilins are extinct in the Magical World. It is unclear what happened to the qilin of Fantastic Beasts 3, but it’s a glaring issue when the magical beast, important as it is, is no longer around.

Why Queenie Goldstein Finally Left Grindelwald Behind

Queenie returns to Jacob’s side

Queenie Goldstein joined Grindelwald at the end of Fantastic Beasts 2 after the dark wizard promised her that she would be able to marry Jacob Kowalski, a Muggle, freely if she sided with him. In the years that followed, however, Queenie grew tired of Grindelwald’s intentions and also scared of him. She was afraid to return to Kowalski because she felt it was too late to do so, guilty about her actions in the second film, and unwilling to confront him or what he had done.

When she realized that Kowalski loved her, regardless of her actions, and was willing to join Newt and Dumbledore in finding her, Queenie felt comfortable leaving Grindelwald behind, despite the fact that he would not be happy about it.

What really happened between Tina and Newt?

The two may have dated and broken up between films

Tina Goldstein wasn’t in most of the Fantastic Beasts 3 why she was promoted to Chief Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). Her responsibilities apparently kept her away, despite her missing sister and Grindelwald on the loose. However, although Fantastic Beasts 3 doesn’t explain, there’s a strange tension between Tina and Newt when they reunite at the end of the film.

Even when Newt is asked about Tina’s absence, he pauses and there is a sadness about him. During the first two films, Newt and Tina were romantically linked. It is possible that in the years between The Crimes of Grindelwald and Dumbledore’s secretsTina and Newt became a couple, but broke up at some point before the third film. There’s a sense of longing in Newt’s expressions, which suggests there’s certainly something more going on between them than a promotion.

How Fantastic Beasts 3 Sets Up Fantastic Beasts 4 and 5

The final battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald was fought here

Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets wraps up certain stories while keeping things open-ended. Grindelwald is not defeated, but breaking the blood pact begins their legendary duel in 1945. Grindelwald will probably have to stay hidden for a while and will no longer be able to use Aurelius against the Dumbledores. At the end of the film, Dumbledore admits that he doesn’t know who was responsible for his sister Ariana’s death, which could lead Grindelwald to reveal who is in the film. Fantastic Beasts 4.

The third film was about the growing tension and showed how manipulative Grindelwald was in gaining his power within the Wizarding World – out in the open, where everyone could see. Fantastic Beasts 3 the ending leaves things a little chaotic, with the Wizarding World’s power structure in disarray and in question.

Although Grindelwald declares that he is not their enemy, Fantastic Beasts 4 I could see him declaring open war on the Wizarding Worldjust as the Second World War also threatens to break out. Grindelwald will certainly gain even more influence and power after this film. Whatever he has in store, Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets helped take him to the next stage of his plans to wreak havoc. Unfortunately, none of this would happen because Warner Bros. canceled the franchise.

How the ending of Fantastic Beasts 3 was received

The ending polarized critics and fans

Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets it was an interesting film. The film was a box office failure, but still received an overwhelmingly positive 83% approval rating from fans, although it had a low 46% review from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Many viewers who reviewed the film complained that the ending was more put together, but it ended up being cancelled. One reviewer wrote: “Fantastic story. It was a shame that this series had to be cut short by three films and not unfold as it should have.“

However, others didn’t care for this film’s busy plot or its attempt to do so much at once. Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com he wrote, “What is significantly at stake remains elusive, even in a film that runs well over two hours.“At the same time, the film had some professional critics who liked it and praised the plot, acting, and appearance. Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun Times he wrote:

“The pyrotechnics never outweigh the real joys of this story, namely the myriad settings in which wizards, witches and Muggles are given space and time to tell their stories, to mend old fences or renew old rivalries, to perhaps come to an end and reconciliation before it’s too late.”

With that in mind, there was a Reddit thread where fans said they had issues with the movie but loved the ending. The OP Redditor wrote: “I may have some issues with this film, but the ending certainly isn’t one of them. It’s such a beautiful yet bittersweet ending.“The first commenter wrote:”I cry every time, Redmayne spoke with such a good cadence. The whole of FB3 feels like a headache to me, the good kind, obviously.” Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets ended the franchise, but still won over some fans.
