Though Dumbledore tells Harry, “I won the duel”, Skeeter tells a different story. Or maybe it won’t – though she’s not the world’s most reliable source, the journalist Rita Skeeter suggests it never happens. Perhaps that’s the only reason why the two made a blood pact, and not, say an Unbreakable Vow, which seems exactly the same in every way except that it’s, you know, unbreakable. So this “blood pact” must be broken at some point. Obviously, we all know these films are moving (at a glacial pace, they know how that thrills us) towards the big battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald: when Harry first reads about Albus Dumbledore in the books, he learns that he is “particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945.” “If the Ministry had known what Ariana had become,” Dumbledore says in the books, “she’d have been locked up in St Mungo’s for good.” Could Credence have somehow adopted Ariana’s Obscurus? Is that why Grindelwald sees him as her “brother”, and Albus’s too?ĭumbledore and Grindelwald made a “blood pact”, whatever that isĭumbledore repeatedly tells other characters that he “can’t” fight Grindelwald – in this film we learn that’s because they made a blood pact promising to never fight each other. In the original series, she has trouble controlling her explosive magic. The films imply that Ariana Dumbledore, like Credence, was an Obscurial. If so, this is the THIRD fake Credence identity in two films, which feels a bit absurd. Could he be lying about their sibling status too, purely to rile Credence/Aurelius up and turn him into a Dumbledore-hating killing machine? The fact that Grindelwald had Credence’s old caregiver murdered, and seemingly moved the Lestrange family archives, seems to suggest he’s trying to cover something up about Credence’s backstory. We know lovely ol’ Dumby wouldn’t really want to kill Credence/Aurelius – so Grindelwald is definitely lying on that last part. Grindelwald encourages Credence/Aurelius to kill his brother Albus before he does. So at best Credence could be Albus’s half-brother, if against all odds he was conceived in Azkaban by Dumbledore’s dying father. According to the books, Albus’s mum died almost a decade before Credence was born, and his dad Percival was locked up in Azkaban around 1900, and died there some time after. Science and Technical Research and Developmentīut it seems almost impossible for Credence, who is only about 20 years old during the events of the Fantastic Beasts film, born in 1907-8, to be the brother of Albus Dumbledore (who is a solid 27 years older than him).Infrastructure Management - Transport, Utilities.Information Services, Statistics, Records, Archives.Information and Communications Technology.HR, Training and Organisational Development.Health - Medical and Nursing Management.Facility / Grounds Management and Maintenance.It’s speculated that he is Corvus Lestrange – the brother of Newt Scamandar’s (Eddie Redmayne) childhood love interest Leta Lestrange (Zoë Kravitz), long assumed dead – until Leta reveals that she inadvertly caused and witnessed Corvus’s death. There are several theories about his lineage that suggest he is (literally) related to one of the over-arching plots. ![]() In this film, he’s on the hunt for his biological family.
