Acidic Cynic I think that the wizarding and muggle wars run parallel; I doubt they would overlap. Oh wait, you were talking about Grin taking over the German Ministry of Magic, weren't you? I thought for a second you meant the German government.
Well, he could have done that too by having Hitler in office like a puppet or something. Or having the Nazi party act under his control for influence in the Muggle world.
Acidic Cynic Okay, so yes, I agree there is a possibility that Grin took over the German Ministry of Magic, since Hitler took over the German government. And that means that when he was 'defeated", he was the German Minister for Magic, or the Magical Fuhrer, or whatever you want to call it.
Yep. Defeated either means suicide or murder. I have a gut feeling that Dumbledore killed Grin, but with historical parallels it points to suicide. This would be a good interview question: How did Grindewald die? We know Grin's dead at any rate.

I don't think Hitler was a puppet. I've studied him a little, and I'm pretty sure he was a mad, evil, fascinating b*****d who had to have done it all on his own. Like I said, parallels. Not overlaps. And something as big as Hitler being a pupet of a dark wizard is a HUGE overlap.

flying_wings Yes, we do wink In the Mugglenet/Leaky cauldron interview, JKR says Grin's dead. Notice the part where it says 'Is he important' then there is no real answer for that? It's also worth noting that she cut off Emerson before he got to say who Grindewald might have had a connection with. Hitler, right? Is he important...maybe Harry will uncover some research on Grindelwald and it'll help him defeat V? Can you think of any other scenario's involving Grindelwald?
Oh, and nice research, finding that passage in the Melissa/Emerson interview. I know how long it is.
