I recently read this awsome theory on the imdb forum for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It was in a thread about which questions you'd like to ask JKR if you got the chance.

I would ask,

Since Grindelwald is important and died the same year Riddle was born, did he somehow possess Tom's body and THAT is why he fears Dumbledore so much, because he was defeated by him once before? So basically... is Voldemort actually Grindelwald?


I commented to the poster that I liked the theory, and he responded by elaborating a little more on it:

Thanks, cjmg.

I like that theory of mine as well, mainly because if that were the case than if Grindelwald can be "exorcised" from Riddle, maybe Riddle could become good and then there could be a redemption story in SOME kind of form. Maybe THEN Riddle can be the DADA teacher. HA!

A bit wild, but possible, I think.


I immediately liked the theory (well, about Grindelwald being exorcised from Riddle, that is), and did a little bit of research, and found this:

ES: Our other “Ask Jo” question (the one about James and Lily’s sacrifices), was from Maria Vlasiou, who is 25, of the Netherlands. And then the third is from Helen Poole, 18, from Thirsk, Yorkshire – also one of the “Plot Thickens” fan book authors. It’s the one about Grindelwald, which I’m sure you’ve been gearing up for us to ask.

JKR: Uh huh.

ES: Clearly -

JKR: Come on then, remind me. Is he dead?

ES: Yeah, is he dead?

JKR: Yeah, he is.

ES: Is he important?

JKR: [regretful] Ohhh...

ES: You don’t have to answer but can you give us some backstory on him?

JKR: I'm going to tell you as much as I told someone earlier who asked me. You know Owen who won the [UK television] competition to interview me? He asked about Grindelwald [pronounced "Grindelvald" HMM…]. He said, “Is it coincidence that he died in 1945,” and I said no. It amuses me to make allusions to things that were happening in the Muggle world, so my feeling would be that while there's a global Muggle war going on, there's also a global wizarding war going on.

ES: Does he have any connection to --

JKR: I have no comment to make on that subject.
