Dumbledore: The Favorite?
Dumbledore has been the favorite character of so many people who have been following the Harry Potter series since the start. His character is witty yet polite, and kind. He is always seen striving for the best and does not compromise when it comes to the protection of the magical realm. The character is portrayed very naturally as he always tries to do the right thing and does everything in his power, but that does not mean that he always manages to do that, which is why these flaws have made the character seem more realistic.
Though most people who like watching Harry Potter find Dumbledore manipulative and evil, it’s basically because of the different perspectives to see things and judge people as. The audience did not like it when he just saved Time-Turner to only save Sirius and Buckbead but not anyone else. Some people had also reviewed Dumbledore, a fictitious character in an utterly fictitious world of magic who supported bullying at Hogwarts and let kids stay in school when the Chamber of Secrets was open, they also blamed him for not making the rules that were strict enough as students tried to evade places those were prohibited.
How Does Dumbledore Get The Elder Wand?
Dumbledore certainly couldn’t fight Grindelwald because of their blood pact, but he needed to ensure that he did not gain any more power. During the Qilin ritual, Grindelwald tries to manipulate one of the Qilin to choose him as the Supreme Mugwump but is furious when Santos is chosen as the Supreme mugwump. Enraged, Grindelwald tries to kill Credence by putting a killing curse on him, but he is protected by his father Aberforth Dumbledore, and his uncle Albus Dumbledore. The fight and clashing spells between Dumbledore and Grindelwald break their blood pact, Grindelwald disapparates, and the battle as an ensuing battle settles. Albus Dumbledore then takes the elder wand with him, and Aberforth accepts ailing Credence as his son.
The ending of the film wraps up with, Jacob and Queenie, marrying at a bakery in New York City. Newt sees Dumbledore watching from across the street. Dumbledore then, thanks Newt and disappears into the night. This is how he possesses that elder wand until his death.
