Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing and comparing two of the darkest wizards to have ever disgraced the wizarding world - Voldemort and Grindelwald. Each man truly made his mark on the world of magic- and during different periods of history were able to instill fear in to the hearts of wizardkind as a whole. During Grindelwald’s reign of terror, there wasn’t a witch or wizard that didn’t know his name, and it wasn’t until the year 1945, when Grindelwald was defeated, that the wizarding world could finally sleep easy. However, it just so happens that in that same year, 1945, Voldemort was finishing up at Hogwarts- meaning that he had already begun to walk down the very dark path that he would eventually follow. Though the pair never simultaneously terrorized the wizarding world, the end of Grindelwald only meant that there was a brief pause in tyranny- as the first wizarding war began in 1970, when Voldemort began his own reign of terror.
1970 marked Voldemort’s proclamation that he was the new ‘Dark Lord’, and it was in this same year that he started to openly perform acts of evil around Europe. Though Voldemort was eventually defeated by the Potters in the year 1981, his regime lasted an impressive 11 years- a true testament to the power of Voldemort and his followers. Dumbledore,who is widely considered to be the greatest and most powerful wizard of all time, led the primary opposition against both wizards, and in response to Voldemort’s assumption of power in 1970, Dumbledore formed the Order of the Phoenix in 1971.
Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort were all immensely powerful wizards-uncomparable to anyone else, with the exception of perhaps some of the fabled wizards of history. And while Voldemort and Grindelwald both led impressive regimes, the light did eventually prevail over each of them. But while both dark wizards eventually fell, there is much debate surrounding Grindelwald and Voldemort - who was actually more powerful? Both were immensely talented from an extremely young age, and each of them had exposure to Dumbledore- who is said to have been able to do things with a wand that no one else could. To better compare them, let’s take a brief look at each of their histories, and see if we can pick up any clues along the way.
