Grinderwald almost = to Dumbledore in his prime
Voldemort in full strength couldn't be controlled by elder Dumbledore(owns elder wand)
Voldemort in full strength couldn't be controlled by elder Dumbledore(owns elder wand)
Dumbledore having the elder wand mentioned he wouldn't be able to contain a fully powered VoldemortDumbledore (who was past his prime) defeated Voldemort while restraining Bellatrix and Harry. Grindelwald would neg Voldemort and use him as a belt.
:bdpf:
And as two people have pointed out already... Dumbledore was way past his prime and Voldemort had all his Horcruxes. Voldemort, who was always scared shitless of Dumbledore for obvious reasons, stood no chance against him in his prime. And Dumbledore stated himself that while in his prime he was a "shade more skillful" than Grindelwald. It's obvious that Grindelwald takes this over Voldemort.Dumbledore having the elder wand mentioned he wouldn't be able to contain a fully powered Voldemort

Yeah.Dumbledore (who was past his prime) defeated Voldemort while restraining Bellatrix and Harry. Grindelwald would neg Voldemort and use him as a belt.

That statement about Dumbledore's charms is taken out of context.
Dumbledore defeated Grindewald when the later was master of the Elder Wand. Additionally even Dumbledore himself said that even without the Elder Wand he was “a shade more skillful” than Grindewald. Therefore: Dumbledore > Grindewald.
However Dumbledore couldn’t contain Voldemort when Dumbledore himself was master of the Elder Ward. Additionally Dumbledore admitted to Harry that even his most powerful defensive spells wouldn’t last if Voldemort returned to full power. Therefore: Voldemort > Dumbledore.
AND the book states that Grindewald was the greatest dark wizard until Voldemort. Therefore: Voldemort > Grindewald.

False, Tom was at his best in his own body before killing Lily as 'magic of love" was his only weakness that was the only possible defence against him.That statement about Dumbledore's charms is taken out of context.
He said he thought they wouldn't be invincible - but that was his thought when Voldemort was incapacitated. The Ministry Atrium duel proved that wrong, as Voldemort had already returned to power and Dumbledore was having an easy time.
what does Dumbledore containing VOldy mean exactly? nothing much, probably only that he would not be the one to kill him, Dumby always knew the prophecy and knew Harry will be the ne to down Voldemort, but that in no way means Voldy is stronger, and in their duel Dumbledore was casual and clearly superior, but since he knew about the prophecy and knew about the horcruxes he obviusly was never gonna finish voldy, and he was restraining belatrix and protecting harry while he did all of that, not to mention he was very old

That's because he had achieved what other wizards could only dream of, and was a threat to the world. The world acknowledges evil more than what is good. I think Dumbledore was more powerful and didn't want to kill him, even when he had the chance in The Goblet o Fire when he infiltrates The Ministry of Magic and I believe it was all because he believed in Harry Potter's prophecies and didn't want to disturb the whole prophecy by being the intervening 'greater power' that would even result in Voldemort becoming even strongerWasn't it hammered on a lot in Harry Potter books that Voldemort ws the "strongest dark wizard" that ever excisted.. or has it been so long that I just forgot and don't really know what I am saying now
ever read teh books?Grindelwald in his prime was the most powerful wizard ever
Those were words of passion......Don't take it literally....He was cool though....Cooler than Voldemort at least....And yeah I dead read them.ever read teh books?
