In Harry Potter, the two most powerful dark wizards of all time, were in brief contact. At the time, Gellert Grindelwald was older and had no chance against Lord Voldemort. But what if they had dueled when they were both in their prime?
It is a debate that animates fans of the universe of Jk rowling, although it does not add anything relevant to the story, the question has the merit of creating big debates between fans of the two dark wizards. As so often, it is a question of love and hate. He who is not to be named is certainly feared, but the followers of Grindelwald love him, and love is more powerful in the wizarding world ofHarry potter.
Flight of death, although powerful, fails to achieve the same level of success as Grindelwald. He also fails to demonstrate the same mastery of the dark arts. Grindelwald can ward off intense flames, resist Legilimency of Flight of death, camouflage oneself to adapt to one’s surroundings, manipulate magical and dark creatures, be particularly good at healing magic and cast spells without wand or words. Not even Voldemort can achieve some of these skills. His real power lies in his ability to terrify his enemies.
Voldemort In Harry Potter
Grindelwald, the main villain of the saga Fantastic animals, achieved a goal that Flight of death never knew how to reach. He convinces dozens of followers to join his crusade to rule the Muggles, and earns genuine loyalty from them. Flight of death, although he is strong enough to kill Lilly and James Potter in one go, commands his followers with fear. As seen in the Deathly Hallows, many of his followers are inclined to leave when they can. Flight of death also makes the mistake of believing that his servants will obey him. Grindelwald makes sure his followers are true to the cause by literally making them walk in the fire. In doing so it becomes almost impossible for them to betray him later, as Snape will do it with Flight of death.
Besides the fact that he enjoys a better reputation among his supporters, Grindelwald retains control of the Wizarding World for nearly two decades. Flight of death only remained in power for about a year. Grindelwald Also takes possession of many parts of the world, while Voldemort holds only the United Kingdom. Gellert Grindelwald, thanks to his narrative skills, has convinced a large number of people to share his cause, proving how charismatic and devious he is. These characteristics can make any dictator skillful. Paired with combat skills, they make him a warlord capable of wreaking great havoc.
Grindelwald, the main villain of the series Fantastic animals, achieved a goal that Flight of death never reached. He convinces dozens of followers to join his crusade to rule the Muggles, and he earns genuine loyalty from them. Flight of death, although he is strong enough to kill Lilly and James Potter in one fell swoop, commands his followers with fear. As seen in The Deathly Hallows, many of his followers are inclined to leave. Flight of death also makes the mistake of believing that his disciples will obey him. Grindelwald makes sure his followers are true to the cause by literally making them walk in the fire. It is impossible to trick the man into betraying him later, as Snape does to Flight of death.
Besides the fact that he enjoys a better reputation among his supporters, Grindelwald retains control of the Wizarding World for nearly two decades. Flight of death only remained in power for about a year. Grindelwald also takes control of regions around the world, while Flight of death only holds the UK in its grip. Gellert convinced more people to join him, which makes him particularly devious and charismatic. These characteristics can make any dictator more effective. Coupled with his dueling skills, they make him a leader capable of causing considerable havoc.
Speaking of dueling, Grindelwald not only defeated nearly all of the people he faced, but he also took full control of the Elder Wand. Among the many weaknesses of Flight of death, that of never having succeeded in controlling the relic was fatal to him. The most powerful wand gives its user unparalleled abilities. When it does not really belong to the one who wields it, these abilities cannot be fully exploited. In addition, the major defeat of Grindelwald vs Dumbledore more likely has a lot to do with how they feel for each other.
One of the biggest flaws in Flight of death, which costs him everything, is his arrogance. While the two dark wizards are certainly both guilty of this, the arrogance of Flight of death is paramount. She causes him to split his soul repeatedly, making his magic unstable, he chooses famous items like Horcruxes. If he had chosen ordinary objects, finding them would have been much more difficult.
One last nail in the coffin of Flight of death and voila, the fact that his arrogance leads him to be fooled by a 17-year-old boy who plays dead. He thinks he’s better than all wizards, more brilliant. No one can cheat him in his mind, it leads him straight to his downfall.
Gellert Grindelwald had more power in the wizarding world until the last moments of his life. He had more and more loyal followers. He conquered more of the globe and could practice more advanced forms of magic. He probably wouldn’t have lost so much ground without his almost only weakness: his feelings. Dumbledore. Not only Grindelwald is more powerful than Flight of death, but he is also a more complete antagonist, which is why he will be at the center of Fantastic Beasts 3. To see such a strong wizard fall prey to the most human emotions is a beautiful story and reinforces the theme of the books and movies: love stronger than evil.
