In this episode I tell you the full extent of Grindelwald's big plan, as well as the origin of the fortune telling skull. Enjoy!
Summary: Gellert Grindelwald is one of the most scheming and sly characters in the Harry Potter universe. He makes webs of lies and cheats so he can rise to the top. His plans are better than any. So how does he make them? You may just think that he is a smart guy who knows what to do, but I think it has something to do with a fact J. K. Rowling let slip before The Crimes of Grindelwald came out. That fact is, Grindelwald is a seer. He can see the future. That helps him a lot because knowing what is going to happen before it does can allow him to position himself in the best way. So what vision could he have had that face him this knowledge? We can find out with his skull. Grindelwald has a skull that has a date and a German inscription on it. In English, the writing says "for the greater good". The date is 1898. That's so interesting because that phrase was invented by Albus Dumbledore in a letter he wrote to Grindelwald in 1899. One year later! Could that mean Grindelwald had a vision of Dumbledore writing that very same letter? If so, we now have our answer. In the letter Dumbledore wrote, basically tells Grindelwald what he does in the future. According to Dumbledore's letter, Grindelwald went to Durmstrang, and got thrown out because he was using dark magic. That gives Grindelwald his entire life plan! Now all he has to do is follow what the letter says and eh will be fine. Now, for the second part of this theory. The skull. Where did it come from and who's was it? To that, I give you the answer. Ariana Dumbledore. When Grindelwald left Dumbledore, it wasn't pretty. Grindelwald might have harbored a grudge against Dumbledore for all this time.  Grindelwald has also said that Ariana's death was the first for the greater good. That is the same writing on the skull. If Grindelwald wanted to get back at Dumbledore, he certainly did.
