Harry Potter - DH and the Nurmengard scene

Aug 05, 2009 14:52

So I have, as we all know, been on a Harry Potter kick ever since I watched the Half Blood Prince, once again fascinated by all things Dumbledore/Grindelwald as I try to decide whether or not it was reciprocated. I’ve come to one conclusion that I wanted to share, because I haven’t seen it before (not that I’m particularly attentive!) and I think ( Read more... )

I'm fascinated by this, but also curious about how much information Grindelwald would have had at his disposal in Nurmengard. There's no mention of there being Dementors that guard it, or of any other prisoners (that I can recall at the moment). Obviously, there are spells that can be put in place to physically prevent him leaving Nurmengard, but what about the day-to-day pieces? Presumably, even if one can neither Apparate nor Portkey in, there is still the food matter, etc.

I’d love someone to ask that as well; I could see it going either way.

I don’t necessarily think it hinges upon a complete lack of contact, actually. Dumbledore can’t very well contact Grindelwald and inform him, after the fact, of his death. Er… I think, at least. As long as they weren’t talking/writing every other day or something - and it would be very strange if they were - it’s still doable, assuming that Dumbledore was unwilling to mention the fiasco with the Resurrection Stone. And who could blame him, considering Ariana?

Yeah, I highly doubt that there would be a "O hai, I haz the Resurrection Stone now. Deathly Hallows Total: Dumbledore - 2; Grindelwald - 0." owl.

I sent you the wrong comment... I am not sure how that happened. Probably had something to do with LJ not wanting to let me post anything at all. XD

Haha, that sort of letter... yeah, I'm sure it would have gone down well. (Though he might even have been able to say Dumbledore - 3, since he had found the cloak too. XD)

...the hell? LJ went mad and posted the wrong comment, and I didn't notice until just now. *hangs head ( ... )
