In Harry Potter, the Deathly Hallows are long-standing, mysterious and powerful magical artifacts, and they are rumored to be the creatures of the Grim Reaper. In the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand is a powerful wand that makes it easy for its owner to cast powerful spells.
Unlike the other two Deathly Hallows Resurrection Stones and the Cloak of Invisibility, the Inheritance of the Elder Wand is often accompanied by bloodshed. Because only by defeating the previous owner of the Elder Wand can he truly possess this Deathly Hallows.
However, Gellert. When Grindelwald obtained the Elder Wand, he stole it from the famous wand smith Grigovich. So did he not defeat the previous master?
The first owner of the Old Wand was Antioch Peverell, who according to legend had it that he showed off everywhere after getting it from Death, and was remembered by the people who had a heart, and one night, while resting in the inn, a wizard killed him by slitting his throat and stealing the Old Wand. Since then, the circulation of the Old Wand in the wizarding world has always been accompanied by bloodshed, and its successive masters have always been accompanied by the fate of killing and being killed.
At the beginning of the Harry Potter story, the owner of the Old Wand was Albus, who defeated Grindelwald. Dumbledore.
Draco. After Malfoy disarmed the dying Dumbledore's wand with a disarming spell, the young Mr. Malfoy became the owner of the Elder Wand (though he had never touched or held the Elder Wand).
harry. Potter escaped from Draco while escaping from Malfoy Manor. Malfoy takes his wand (physical version of your weapon), and the Old Wand changes hands without the knowledge of the two young men.
Although Voldemort held the Elder Wand, because he was not the true owner of the Elder Wand, he suffered a great loss on this wayward Deathly Hallows, and finally lost his own life.
From Harry. Judging from Potter's process and performance in defeating Voldemort, Grindelwald really had the Elder Wand.
"The Old Wand is the most emotionless, the most calm and cruel wand, and it only considers ability. Other wands will have a certain loyalty to a person, so even if you are used 'except your weapon', but continue to hold the wand, even if you lose the war, but still hold the wand, the wand will still serve you. They would not give up their wand masters so easily. If a wand chooses a capable person, they will prefer the owner chosen by the wand. However, the Elder Wand is only loyal to ability, so it is completely emotionless. It goes with the power. So if you win, then you win the wand, so you don't need to kill (the original owner goes to get it). However, I pointed out from the book that with the exception of Dumbledore, the Elder Wand possessed infinite magic, and it was almost inevitable that (killing) would occur. Wizards are ready to be murdered, killed, or killed in duels in order to get their wands. When the wand attracted Voldemort, Voldemort was confused and prepared to use his power to murder (and thus win the wand). —J.K. Rowling
Supposedly, in order to become the master of the Elder Wand, it is necessary to defeat its previous owner. Grindelwald's stolen Wand can also become its owner for the following reasons:
Before Grindelwald, Grigovich was the previous owner of the Old Wand.
Grigovich wanted to replicate the properties of the Elder Wand and obtained the Elder Wand to study, and by the time he got the Elder Wand, Grigovich may have defeated the Elder Wand's previous owner, thus truly possessing the Deathly Hallows.
When Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand from Grigovich, the thief gave him a spell in the air. With the old wand's temper that even the hard-handed wand was defeated, it was natural that Grindelwald had already defeated its previous owner.
Even at that time, as the first generation of dark lords who had traversed the European and American continents for decades, Grindelwald had countless opportunities to study the Elder Wand, and with his strength, he had time to defeat a wand craftsman like Grigovich at any time.
2. Grindelwald may be the eldest of the three Pevelier brothers.
Voldemort and Harry. Potter is the second and third of the three Pevlerie brothers, respectively, and the resurrection stone and the cloak of invisibility are two Deathly Hallows artifacts that have been passed down from generation to generation in their family.
Grindelwald's stolen Deathly Hallows could also be used, possibly because he was a descendant of his first owner.
Both Dumbledore and Hermione suspected that the Deathly Hallows were magical items created by the three brothers of the ancient mighty wizard Peverell, and were later said to be the creations of the Grim Reaper. As a descendant of the first director, it is entirely possible that Grindelwald regained the recognition of the family heir after receiving the Elder Wand.
3. When Grindelwald swept the world, he had already defeated the previous owner of the Old Wand.
Voldemort, in order to gain ownership of the Elder Wand, killed Severus through his Horcrux Nagini. Snape. But unfortunately, Snape killed albus, the former owner of the Old Wand. Dumbledore, but he was not the master of the Old Wand. Because before that, Draco had disarmed Old Dun, and he had already defeated Dumbledore.
Due to errors in information and judgment, Voldemort killed the wrong person, and he failed to become the true master of the Old Wand.
Grindelwald must have found the true owner of the Elder Wand and defeated the other party, so that he could truly possess the Deathly Hallows.
PS: Grindelwald should no longer be the true master of the Old Wand when he dueled with Dumbledore. Friends who have seen "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" should know that Grindelwald was restrained by Newt with a curly-wing demon when he was making waves in the United States, and then Tina released his wand...
