But whatever reason he wasn't accepted as the true owner...that would mean anyone who defeats Grindelwald wouldn't have become the true owner either. So why did Dumbledore seem to have control over it?

Okay, the Elder Wand can only be fully controlled if the previous owner of this gets defeated in duel by the current opponent.

Gellert Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand. Which cause the Elder wand to reject him.

Similarly, we saw that Voldemort couldn't use the Elder Wand, since he wasn't the wizzard who killed Albus (Remember that Severus Snape was the one who killed Albus).

So when Voldemort used the Elder Wand, it broke.

Later we see that Voldermort kills Snape, and is finally able to use the Elder Wand.

See, Voldemort himself confirms it. So Voldermort killed snape to have control over the Wand.

So that means that neither Gellert nor Tom had control over the wand. However in the end Voldemort did had control over the wand.

Remember that Albus defeated Gellert, which makes him the owner of the wand.

But if Gellert never had control why would defeating him give Dumbledore control?

Albus didn't had problems with the Wand. He wasn't the rightful owner, but doesn't mean the wand resisted him.

Well, the battle between Albus and Gellert is known to be the most powerful duel of all times.

Both Gellert and Voldemort didn't had wands to outclass the Elderwand. Gellert never control the Elderwand nor did Voldemort.

We will have to wait for FB sequels to conclude this debate.

Based on ?

Albus had the best wand against Voldemort not against Gellert.

As of now Voldemort wins based off the evidence.

Again, you keep forgetting Harry in the equation. You keep forgetting that Albus is Older and weaker.

Also you keep forgetting that Albus never really engaged Voldemort into a 1vs1.

Harry was in the background while Albus was one on one against Voldemort in a duel. Based on what is Albus older and weaker.

Yes, he did. Watch the duel. He looked terrified the entire time.

Albus was focused on protecting harry. He was stoping and holding Voldemort giving time for the Aurors.

Else Albus could have moved, or could have used other spells. But it could risk Harry's life. Albus was defending not attacking.

He is much older. When he faught Grindelwald he was young.

He was engaged in a duel. He did what he could to win but was unable to do so. To not try to disarm or defeat Voldemort makes no sense.

Sending flames at him is an attack. Using a water bubble to engulf Voldemort is an attack. He defended and attacked when he saw the chance. Both wizards do in a duel.

So prove he was better when he was younger. Voldemort wasn't a young man either.

He used water to Engulf him so he could by time. Else Albus could have sent' flames. Or use other spells.

No. It wasn't a 1vs1 duel. It was a "Voldemort trying to kill; Albus trying to repel" type of battle. Voldemort wanted them dead, while Albus wanted to protect Harry. So, no, it isn't the same.

So you believe Albus didn't want to win because logic dictates the opposite. What purpose would it serve not to disarm Voldemort ?

He still attacked Voldemort with the flames and the water. He isn't some jackass wizard who can't use precision with his magical attacks.

He did send flames at Voldemort in the duel. Come on.

You clearly watched a different duel since drowning and sending flames at someone kills them.

You say it as if disarming an opponent is easy. If an opponent attacks you and you try to disarm him then you'll die (Since you should instead have tried to avoid/repel the attack).

Logic proves that Voldermort was attacking while Albus was defending. It wasn't a 1vs1 in where both sides want to kill each other.

Still, he was on defense mode. He was shielding harry, else Albus could have move away, use his environment, or use more powerful spells (But such a spells could endanger Harry's life).

Albus didn't want to kill Voldemort. Atleast that wasn't his endgoal. Albus would have killed Voldemort if he had the chance, but that wasn't his objective. His objective was protecting Harry which is clear enough.
