The REAL Reason Voldemort Visited Grindelwald - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Voldemort and Grindelwald. More specifically- I’m going to be discussing Voldemort’s wild goose chase in tracking Grindelwald down, and WHY he did it. Grindelwald was famously defeated by Dumbledore in 1945, and that news was spread far and wide- so what could Grindelwald possibly offer Voldemort? Why would he still possess a certain wand?

Voldemort and Grindelwald, during their respective pursuits of power over the course of history, were each able to shake the wizarding world to its core. However, it should be noted that these men did actually have quite different objectives. Grindelwald wanted to obtain the Deathly Hallows, overthrow the statute of secrecy, and establish wizarding dominance over the muggle world- with no particular goal to ‘eradicate’ muggles or muggle-borns. Voldemort’s objective was much simpler - exterminate and enslave anyone that either opposed him or didn’t come from a pure magical blood line. In this way, though they are both undoubtedly evil, Voldemort was a lot more sinister.

And by the time 1945 rolled around, and Grindelwald’s own reign of terror was brought to an end- Voldemort was just getting started in his own dark pursuits. The defeat of Grindelwald only meant that were would be a brief pause in Tyranny, as in 1970 the first wizarding war officially began.
