These characteristics were attributed by fans to the fact that she is housing a piece of Voldemort’s soul, until promotions for the second Fantastic Beasts movie revealed otherwise.

Though he’s spoken of with relative frequency in the Harry Potter books as a previous Dark Lord whom Dumbledore defeated, we don’t actually meet him until Book 7 (via Voldemort), when he’s suddenly being interrogated and killed in a far-off prison by the new Dark Lord in town. Gellert GrindelwaldĪs the only character on this list who actually appears in the Harry Potter series and in both Fantastic Beasts movies, Grindelwald gets top billing. So let’s take a look at those characters and their roles in the respective series. We posited that one reason for telling a story in which some of our beloved Harry Potter characters take part is to help grandfather in those fans who can be manipulated by nostalgia, curiosity, and shameless Easter eggs (she says, as she sheepishly raises her hand).
