Harry: Sir, when you look into the mirror, what do you see?

Dumbledore: I see my little sister, alive and well, not having died at the hand of my choices that I made when I fell in love with a man so evil he made Voldemort look like a walk in the park. I see Grindelwald facing the dichotomy of his views and choosing me over them. I see-

Crimes of Grindlewald

I saw the movie, and I agree with many, it’s got more than a few issues. However, we all need to take a few steps back and look at the whole picture:

This movie is part 2 out of 5. We are used to JK’s stories being in book form, where it is easier to drop hints and foreshadow surprises. In a film, those attempts are seen as “plot holes” or “mistakes.” We need to remember one crucial thing: SHE IS BRILLIANT!!! Her stories are detailed, complex, and full of multiple twists and turns. Let’s please give her some time to be the mind we know she is.

In terms of casting (Depp in particular) I think the movie did a fabulous job. No matter what you believe about his personal life, which is his business and we have NO idea what went down, he is one of the best character actors of all time! He played this character beautifully and brought wonderful depth and life to his story.

I understand where people are coming from when they are angry about the burial of Dumbledore and Grindlewald’s relationship. We all know Dumbledore is gay and, whether Grindelwald reciprocated or not, was desperatly in love with Gellert. Maybe they could have done more and been more open with Dumbledore being gay and that relationship, but again it’s only the second movie!!

Let’s all take a few moments to be happy about all the amazing things Rowling has given us and the world she has shared. We have three more movies, and everything can change!

I feel like a lot of times people forget Dumbledore is a super private person. He wouldn’t even tell the ministry about the blood needle thing. He’s not going to go around telling people how gay he is for Grindelwald, a literal fanatic. Especially when he’s a teacher and probably doesn’t want his kids finding any reason to side with awful people.

There’s also three more movies. And a lot of people online forget that there are a lot of people who are anti gay. Who don’t want to see that and won’t pay for it. There were people blowing up after Beauty and the Beast over Lafou, imagine if they had a kiss in harry potter. I thought this movie was obvious enough about Albus’ feelings while respecting his privacy. But we still have 3 more movies!
