Gellert Grindelwald

We were taking a musical theater writing class with Eric Price and Will Reynolds.

And We were writing a spin-off Harry Potter Dumbledore musical about him being in love with Gellert Grindelwald.

And they were like, well, you're not going to be able to get the rights to this.

You should write your own story.

The Discord can check us on that, but, um-

But there, there, there is a, there's, look, there's a history, too, of just like Grindelwald uses the symbol of the hallows as, like, his mark, uh, the Nazis took the swastika.

It, for 5,000 years or more-

Yeah

Well, and Krum reveals-

Yeah

... that Grindelwald killed his grandfather.

Like-

His widely improvised, rockstar-inspired performance completely revolutionized the franchise, earning him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and anchoring the multi-billion dollar cinematic empire.

He continued to dominate the box office throughout the 2000s and 2010s, securing additional Oscar nominations for 2004's Finding Neverland, as well as for Sweeney Todd, while also appearing in massive blockbusters like Burton's 2010 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, and joining the Wizarding World franchise as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald.

Following a period of high-profile legal battles and personal controversies, Depp has focused heavily on independent European cinema and directing, starring as King Louis XV in the French historical drama Jean de Berry and returning behind the camera to direct the biographical drama Modi.

He will next be seen in director Ty West's dark adaptation of the classic Christmas Carol character Ebenezer, which is releasing in November of this year.

Yeah.

But them dropping that, it made me think of a Grindelwald.

And I know we speak a little bit about Grindelwald.

So I thought of a question, but I want you to note this section here where the wizards were basically pretending to be these Puritan leaders.

Note that.

And then when we get to the Grindelwald stuff, put two and two together of what I'm talking about.

But we'll move on to the other section, which is other significant crossover events between these communities, the muggle and wizarding communities.

That is.

So, you know, they're all engaged.

And we see Grindelwald do this reanimate a corpse in the third fantastic beasts movie the secrets of dumbledore and it does not go that well for him grindelwald is actively researching how to solve the problem of wanting other beings to do your will when they are interfering by having wills of their own so seeing secrets of dumbledore which chronologically came before Voldemort's rise this makes me think okay Voldemort must have studied and continued Grindelwald's methods and Dumbledore must have known to expect that

I love the Fantastic Beasts movies I don't think I've seen Secrets of Dumbledore like that doesn't sound familiar to me at all It's a

mess for a variety of reasons that I'm super excited to get into someday.

He was the definition of evil.

He makes Voldemort and Grindelwald look like fairy godmothers.

Echiristus stumbled upon the island while sailing, which at that time had no infrastructure to speak of.

The term Azkaban was derived from the terms Alcatraz, the famous muggle prison, and Abaddon, the Hebrew word for place of destruction.

He tortured for the sake of torturing.

He didn't want anything.

He wasn't after money, fame, or dominance like Voldemort or Grindelwald.

He just wanted to torture.

She doesn't condone the crimes of Grindelwald.

Staunch anti-Grindelwald.

The crime is sleeping with Dumbledore.

You know what we should watch for the podcast? Ebenezer.
