A Lover in the Savage Garden

Ben Whishaw reading “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe. I’ve never heard the strange, tender, spooky heart of it quite so clearly.

Grindelwald didn’t love Dumbledore.

Grindelwald didn’t love Dumbledore!!!

Hey folks, here’s your everyday heartbreaking reminder that while Dumbledore was in love with Grindelwald, Grindelwald didn’t love Dumbledore.

So all of the posts about ‘Gates’ questioning Newt simply because he was being protective over his ‘boyfriend’ are completely wrong.

The tragedy (and by tragedy I mean genuinely terrifying aspect) of Albus Dumbledore is that he was almost willing to go to the dark side for a man who didn’t return his affections.

Back in 2010, J.K. Rowling said outright: “I think [Grindelwald] was a user and a narcissist and […] I don’t think that he would reciprocate in that way.”

 “although he would be as dazzled by Dumbledore as Dumbledore was by him, because he would see in Dumbledore, ‘My God, I never knew there was someone as brilliant as me, as talented as me, as powerful as me. Together, we are unstoppable!’. 

He also didn’t give up the location of the Elder Wand to Voldemort and was willing to die for this. 

“Grindelwald tried to stop Voldemort going after the wand. He lied, you know, pretended he had never had it.”

“They say he showed remorse in later years, alone in his cell at Nurmengard. I hope that it is true. I would like to think he did feel the horror and shame of what he had done. Perhaps that lie to Voldemort was his attempt to make amends… to prevent Voldemort from taking the Hallow…”

“… or maybe from breaking into your tomb?” suggested Harry, and Dumbledore dabbed at his eyes.

Sometimes the ending is your best escape i’ve got a heart on the edge and it wants to break and i know that once i walk away i won’t return to the r u i n s
