Grindelwald Vs. Voldemort

I think durability goes to the wizard who has hocruxes

In the books, Dumbledore completely controlled the fight he had with Voldemort in the ministry. When Dumbledore and Grindelwald fought, it was said to be among the greatest wizarding duels in history and lasted a full day…. and Dumbledore was in his prime. That says all you need to know

Voldemort is actually more powerful than grindelwald but depp's grindelwald felt way more powerful and majestic

[solar_modelu]

Old and defenseless grindelwald wasn't afraid of voldemort anyway, he just laughed in his face!

We can't compare someone who went toe-to-toe with prime Albus freaking Dumbledore for an entire day to someone who couldn't outpower a 126-year old weakened Dumbledore. Grindelwald nearly conquered Europe, Voldemort lost to a high school.

Voldemorts feats:
Make people scared of his name
Fails to kill a baby
Fails to kill that same baby for another 7 years
Fails to take over a high school
Killed an old man with literal cancer
Lost his nose

You people voting for Voldemort forget that he run away when he saw the Aurors at the ministry while Grindelwald fought them all with ease.

[danszymanski]

Grindelwald nearly conquered Europe. Voldemort couldn't defeat a highschool

Comparing Voldemort to Grindelwald is like comparing a SchooI Shooter to AdoIf HitIer.

The fact that Voldemort surpasses Grindelwald in terms of reputation as dark lords is because Tom’s actions to the wizard world is more fresh!

I thought about some odd theory about who is the most powerful dark wizard of all time. J.K Rowling claims that Voldemort is the most powerful dark wizard, and I think that's true. But what if we claim that Grindelwald wasn't actually a dark wizard? He wasn't about vicious killing people, robbing them, and he wasn't trying to become a tyrant. It was in Voldemort's nature to do that things, instead Grindelwald had a much more meaningful purpose. He was about to share his idea and to actually free wizards from being hidden from muggols. We cannot neglect that Grindelwald actions killed many people, but it wasn't about killing, it was about proving a point, making his ideas come true. Dark wizards were about dominating other wizards with their power, Grindelwald was about creating some sort of new peace. That's why I consider Grindelwald the most powerful wizard of all time next to Dumbledore because of his abilities, unquestionable huge amount of knowledge, genius tactical mind and ability of manipulation and to convince other people, but Voldemort was the most powerful dark wizard because of his magical potential, abilities, and mostly the fear which he was generating. Grindelwald wasn't so feared as Voldemort, because he didn't even tried to be such a person, but Voldemort? For sure, he made even his name something that was feared, he achieved what every dark wizard before him would love to get. In conclusion

I would consider Grindelwald and Dumbledore on the first place, and right beneath them there would be Voldemort, because even if he had such a great power, he still lacked everything that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had, i mean: knowledge, charisma, more sophisticated purposes than just killing people etc.

Grindel’s weakness : Amber of Hearing (a manipulative stone that gives you 80% curse)

This man Grindelwald was MUCH more of a problem when he was alive than I thought. I’d heard about him, but dude is TERRIFYINGLY skilled and calculated.

[shubharthibardhan]

The most powerful wizard award goes to "DOBBY"....

[ojoking]

While Voldemort is more powerful.
Grindelwald is still the scariest. He made the ENTIRE world fear him. And his followers were truly loyal till the end. Most of the Death Eaters stayed with Voldermort out of fear they wouldn't die for him like Grindelwalds followers would.

[chillnation]

One thing's for sure Grindelwald had more style than voldy

[West]

Grindelwald was most powerful villain in wizarding world, he comes after dumbledore

[Ktrilliams]

Grindelwald literally almost took over the entire wizarding world. Voldemort couldn’t beat Hogwarts

[KingofHades]

Could go either way, but Grindewald had a much greater hold over Europe while Voldemort is only a big name in Britain

[gavinperry]

You forgot to mention drip 🔥.... Grindelwald excels in that too
