Deathly Hallows is the seventh book that's released Saturday.

The fourth book (and movie) was called Goblet of Fire.

J.K. Rowling Interview MuggleNet.com / The-Leaky-Cauldron.org - (Talking about Dumbledore)
 
So I think that, while I ask the reader to accept that McGonagall is a very worthy second-in-command, she is not an equal.

'command' I think can work both ways. I mean, even if J.K. Rowling is saying McGonagall is second-in-command in a non-combat sense, I still think being second to the most powerful wizard of his age is quite a worthy title. Being that she commands the Order of the Phoenix and is Headmistress of Hogwarts, I think he must have had a lot of trust in her.

I'm not quite sure about her abilities. No doubt she's very knowledgeable, but I have to see it to believe it that she's almost as amazing as Dumbledore is.

I don't think she'll be as powerful as Dumbledore, but there's speculation over whether she's the most powerful witch. She is widely respected. I think she could be a big target for Voldemort, especially when he's aiming to murder all those Harry holds dear, and McGonagall could potentially be a big help to Harry.

I was browsing the wiki and I found this about a certain dark wizard:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_Dark_wizards_in_Harry_Potter#Grindelwald
 
Grindelwald was a Dark wizard before Lord Voldemort and his first mention is in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on Albus Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card which notes that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945.

Rowling apparently once claimed that there was a connection between Grindelwald and Adolf Hitler (hence the 1945 date of defeat); she has stated that she likes to imagine a connection between the wizarding world and the real one.[2]

Grindelwald has something to do with the remaining plot, possibly to do with the symbol shown on the spine of the British youth edition cover.

I don't remember the name Grindelwald from that part of the book, though. >_<

Gosh. I wonder what other details slipped unnoticed? :unsure:

I've came across that before. What intrigues some is the fact that it says Dumbledore 'defeated' Grindelwald, not 'murdered' or 'killed'. Because of that, some have speculated that the spell Dumbledore conjures during the duel between himself and Voldemort in Order could be that of which he defeated Grindelwald with.

Interesting note. I've never heard the name either. Though it's been a very long time since I last read HP #1. I read it back when the first movie came out actually.

Grindelwald created one horcrux, if I remember correctly - but then perhaps that's just something I read. Nonetheless, that could be a plotline for Hallows, but it is unlikely. That being that Grindelwald returns using his horcrux. Of course, if it's public knowledge that he did create a horcrux, I'd have thought Dumbledore would have hunted it down.

Maybe Voldemort had learned more in depth how to actually create a horcrux from Grindelwald.

Maybe Grindelwald is one of Voldermort's horcruxes, and Voldermort is one of Grindelwald's, and they're both coming back and working together?

Or maybe it's a small detail not meant to be remembered. Come on, do you really think when JK was writing HP1, before the fame and fortune, in a small coffee shop in her off-time, that she thought as far ahead as to 10 years later with the last book of the series?

-IMP ;) :)

Tom Riddle would have been 19 when Gridnelwald was defeated, so they could have known each other. Though I find it unlikely that they're both horcruxes.

J.K. Rowling planned it all well before the first book was published. She wrote the ending to the series before Philosopher's Stone was published. And even then, that doesn't mean she won't bring Grindelwald into play. Either that, or it was just something for Dumbledore to be credited with.

Everything was planned out. She's said so multiple times in several interviews, which is why I think the books turned out so greatly.

And I am completely against people being horcruxes. I don't think it's possible.

The only way I can see how a living thing can be a horcrux is if the part of the soul is stored within the living thing itself, as part of their soul, almost.
