Why Voldemort And Grindelwald were completely different

[leoroemer]

Gellert Grindelwald's reasons for wizarding supremacy remind me of Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus from Star Wars Legends. Jacen became a Sith Lord because he saw a vision of a future where the galaxy was ruled by a man far worse than himself. He believed that he and he alone could avert this disaster. Essentially, it was extreme hubris.

In many ways, Grindelwald was the more powerful of the two. Had Voldemort gone up against a Gellert in his prime, he'd have lost. Instead he murdered an elderly, unarmed man. Voldy was a coward. He wasn't even willing to battle Dumbledore himself.

Mads Mikkleson was fantastic as Gellert Grindelwald, but Johnny Depp made the character iconic

[Ascension]

Voldemort was driven by ego and grindlewald was driven by ego but had a grander vision for an ideal world. His version of an ideal world atleast. Voldemort wanted muffles eliminated but grindlewald wanted them led by a strong leader or leaders. Him and Dumbledore

Thanks for yet another good video Dean! You've been uploading consistently lately

I will add that if there is another thing in common is their attitude towards witches and wizards who lost to them. Voldemort said he is not interested in shedding magical blood, and that he have much respect to the teachers of Hogwarts. When Harry didn't really die but seemed dead in Hagrid's arms, he said that he would give them a chance to live and forgive them on everything if they join his ranks. And believe me that had Voldemort won some would have joined him, some would have chosen life. Gellert also gave a chance to wizard kind in joining without harm. So that is another similarity. Also I bet Gellert didn't know anything about Horcruxes because he never wanted to be immortal.

“You were my hero growing up. I read all your speeches, hundreds of times. You were the only dark wizard who was nearly as powerful as me.”
“Buddy… you think you’re a Dark Lord? You’re so scared of death you made horcruxes. You’re just a cheap f__king knockoff.”
“Oh, no no no… I’m the upgrade.”

Grindelwald kills for a reason, he doesn’t kill himself unless he has to. That’s the major reason. Gellert killed only to push his campaign falward.

"The wizarding equivalent of Adolf Hitler". Exactly. I always felt that's what Rowling was doing here. When she describes Voldy's voice as high and cold, I think she intended to copy the high pitched "tenor" speaking voice of Hitler...not the "falsetto" voice often employed by Stephen Fry (much as I LOVE his audiobooks). It is Hitler's high-pitched, male, piercingly cold voice that was the model.

I was literally hoping you’d make a video on this😂 thanks for reading my mind man!

Video idea: What would have happened if Voldemort had shown remorse at the very end? Would anything have changed then or in the future?

I've always been a bit confused about how house points are kept track of at Hogwarts. Think you could make a video about it for us? Love you.

The primary difference between Voldemort and Grindelwald is that Voldemort never cared about political idealism. He was devoted to push the boundaries of magic and surpass himself for all eternity.

[Darth_Moraband]

The difference between Voldemort and Grindelwald is that Voldemort, unlike Grindelwald, had no delusions of righteousness. He didn't care what other people thought of him; he was looking out for number one and no one else. Whereas Grindelwald cared about his image and so wore nice clothes and lived in a castle, Voldemort was happy to camp out in a abandoned house or stay in the home of one of his followers whilst wearing plain robes. Likewise, where Grindelwald held himself to some moral standards, twisted as they may have been, Voldemort just did whatever he pleased. He didn't want to die, so he undertook various experiments to protect himself, including the creation of multiple Horcruxes. He wanted power, and so he took it, destroying anything that got in his way. He hated Muggles and Muggleborns, so he killed them.

He simply had no regard or respect for the lives of anyone but himself and Nagini, who kept him company and helped him remain as strong as possible in his rudimentary body. This is shown when he meets Grindelwald, who one might think would be the one person he would have respect for given their similar goals. He didn't. He treated Grindelwald as he did everyone else: as an obstacle, an insect whose only worth was in what he could give him. The closest thing he ever shows to genuine respect for someone other than Nagini is righteous indignation over Hepzibah Smith's assertion that his mother had been a thief, not the rightful owner of Slytherin's Locket, but that was likely just because he felt personally insulted by the implication that his family wasn't special, and neither was he.

Overall, Voldemort just didn't have the limits and principles holding him back that Grindelwald did. There was nothing he would not do to achieve his goals.

Funny thing is that while Voldy was more evil, GG was the bigger threat. We heard a little of what GG did to Europe has a whole but Voldy doesn’t seem to have done much outside of the UK.

Dumbledore/Grindelwald: Dominimort, Masters of death. Tom Marvolo Riddle: Voldemort, Flight of death

Video suggestion:Grindelwald vs Voldemort..who would win the duel

[kagetsuki]

So! In the medieval age when humans only had swords and shields magicians had to go in hiding, but that's when they have guns, military planes and nuclear bombs that Grindelwald want to reveal magicians?

[jenneacubero]

So...Grindewald was WWI and Voldemort was WWII? In that case, who would personify the Cold War? And, with the Pandemic taking place during the school years of Harry's kids, could Albus Severus, Lily Luna or James Sirius have been left an impression from that? Relieved that the Wizarding World wouldn't be harmed by the Coronavirus but frustrated by the Wizarding World refusing to help the Muggles that have been more affected? Wouldn't be surprised if Harry and/or his kids had either started an underground potions exchange to help the Muggles fight the virus or, one of the Potter kids leading a movement to finally combine the world of Wizards and Muggles together in harmony.
