"I knew you'd come one day. But surely you must know I no longer have what you seek."

Implies quite a lot.

Implies:

1. He knew Voldemort would want the wand.
2. He knew that Voledmort knew he did not have the wand.

For me, that scene implies that Voldemort was just confirming what he already knew and he was angry with the answer: just observe what happens after he was told. He gets a nasty look on his face and quickly blasts out of the room. He mad. He real mad. In the book, it speaks more directly to Voldemort's frustration with Grindelwald's answer. Now why would he be mad about the answer?

🙂


Riiight.....because Voldemort getting mad at Grindelwald's revelation surely doesn't mean that he was frustrated that his entire quest had been for naught, when the object he so desperately sought lay right within his grasp all this while.

Voldemort's dialogue with Grindelwald is illustrative of one of those anti-climatic moments when a guy goes on a grand search for a special thing, and when he reaches his destination, he finds out that the special thing has been laying right under his nose all along. There's nothing more to it.

Not really. Of course Grindelwald would not have the wand at the time... You wouldn't lock a wizard up with a wand.

Correct me if I am wrong (I have much love for you, so don't take this the wrong way), but it appears you do not remember the fight in the books, very well. Had it not been Fawkes, Dumbledore would have died: Fawkes jumped in the way of Voldemort's killing curse towards the end of their duel to save Dumbledore.

Where do you come to the conclusion he would have died? He already "blocked" and dodged several curses so far.

Strawman: not once did I say you claimed that Voldemort did not know about the Elderwand. I have said that Voldemort most likely knew Dumbledore had it and knew of the Elderwand but did not have all the information regarding the Elderwand (ergo, the events that we exlore in book/movie 7). You can pick and choose what applies to you.

You were arguing against a point I did not make. I corrected you. That's not a strawman on my part.

Please tell me why he would not have died? 😄

Are you aware of the circumstances that explain why Fawkes jumped in the path of the killing curse? If you were, then you would not be asking me that question.

Nope. Not going to do it. You (ambiguous "you", not ares834, "you"😉 dismissing it does not make it any less true. That's just you (again, ambiguous "you"😉 being stubborn and wallowing in ignorance. That's what many internet arguers, that demand proof of something they could easily know with less than 5 minutes of work, are actually doing.

I would understand if it was some obscure quote of Rowling at a small convention that only 12 people know about, but this isn't. 😉

Even better: everyone knows of Dumbledore's famous victory over Grendelwald. 😉 Game, set, and match, good sir! I say to you, good day! 😄

Say what?

"I knew you'd come one day. But surely you must know I no longer have what you seek."

This?

Because Grindelwald realizes that Voldemort is smart enough to know Grindelwald no longer has it. It wouldn't take a genius to realize that a wizard locked up in prison no longer has a wand.

Apparation. It would get him out of the way of both snake and curse.

You didn't actually answer the question. Why would Grendelwald point out something that the audience and Voldemort both already know? And why would Voldemort be enraged at the answer (he was so enraged that he killed ol' Grendy in the books)? It's quite simple: Voldemort knew the answer and Grendelwald knew Voldemort knew the answer. He took pleasure in telling that to Voldemort, as well. Else he laugh about it? :"D

And yet, it didn't work and doesn't work everytime. Fact is, you injecting apparation into the equation changes nothing and you're also missing a massive point. Go back and read the fight in the books: you'll see why Dumbledore's life was saved by Fawkes.

Show me where I was arguing against that notion and then show me where I said you said that.

Can you just admit that you jumped the gun? It would make this easier.

In the books he is pissed because Grindelwald tells him nothing and because the Malfoys are summoning him.

In the movies, perhaps because he has been running all over the world for this wand and it was in Hogwarts this entire time. Not sure why he would be angry with you theory however.

Regardless, I did find some more proof.

I don't have the books right now so would you mind telling me this "massive point"?

I know Voldemort cast the spell to coincide with the "snake's" attack but I fail to see how apparting would not save him this time like it had before.

First, I never claimed that you said I said that.
As for where you argued against it:

"So let me get this straight: Voldemort, who is the most knowledgeable of all Wizards, did not know about the Elder Wand, at all, until book 6 or 7? Makes perfect sense.

I will say that the extent of what the Elderwand was capable of is not known until Voldy tortures it out of him, but to say Voldemort did not know of the wand is a bit stupid."

You were arguing against a distorted point of mine. That's a strawman.

I'd certainly be interested in it if it existed. But, quite clearly, it does not.

👆
I pointed this out on the previous page, yet for some reason, DDM wants to pretend that simplistic dialogue like this is some special encrypted message which implies that Voldemort went on a big phucking waste of a quest just to confirm something he already knew.

This argument was beginning to be fun until it became evident that dadudemon is trolling.

And here I thought you couldn't possibly get any madder. I think i have incited quanrage. Oooh....I am trembling with fear.....not.
I don't go hunting and living off of every word you say. You however already proved you make cliffnotes of my posts. I clarified my point on the same page further demonstrating your own stupidity. Thanks for the laughs.

So, no real evidence to back up your claim? Apparition is not the same as flying, even though the cinematic effect achieved appears similar. The Death Eaters and the Order members could both trun into clouds of balck and white smoke, giving the impression of flight, while what they're actually doing is apparating. When will you learn? [/B]
Apparition is instant travel to one location. I posted word for word from the harry potter wiki entry. Apparition is to a single location. The films make this clear. We see Voldemort and Snape fly with smoke all around them as well making it no different than the other death eaters. That's the funniest part of this is it looks exactly the same but you want to cite the book here. I think by now you know you are clearly wrong but the butthurt is strong in you. Apparition is used by Voldemort when he goes after Harry. Flight is used when he and Harry fall from Hogwarts. It's clearly different. Apparition isn't used to mini teleport right in front of you thousands of times to get to a location as you have been implying that's flight. But either way Snape and Voldemort both have are flying in a dark smoke as well in the movies, idiot.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I am not going to spoon-feed you feats. If you're ignorant on the characters you're debating about, then don't debate at all. Simple. [/B]
I asked for examples. You made a claim and cannot even list a few feats. The reason I am asking is I really want to know what impressed you about these mages. It's funny to me you favor their abilities over the Hp mages. It's not even close.

What proof do you have that he can't overpower it? Especially since a wand has been broken during a combat situation before, Harry's own wand got destroyed during Malfoy Manor, Harry himself EASILY broke apart the most powerful wand in existence.
[/B]
The context for the reason the wand was broken in combat doesn't apply here. I already told you this, idiot. Harry easily destroyed a wand he was the master of. Yes, it's his wand. The wand won't resist him, idiot. My claim is someone wielding the one in combat not someone deciding hey I am going to smash my own wand. Dumbledore is easily more powerful than Harry but he couldn't destroy Voldemort's wand while directly opposing him in combat. So why was Harry able to ? Their connection you idiot.

Dumbledore never went for that move, so it automatically means that he couldn't do it. You st I guess by that token Dumbledore can't AK anybody because he was never shown using that strategy either. Your logic is horrendous. You keep missing the point that wizards in HP never went for such a tactic while in duels, but that hardly means that they would be incapable of such a strategy. Different wizards relied on different tactics in a fight, and ususally fought each other by casting spells at each other because that's the way wizards duel. Breaking another's wand is by definition an unorthodox move and would have been supremely anti-climatic, which is why I am willing to wager it was never utilized in the series. Get this point across that thick skull of yours. [/B]
Never went for what move ? What the hell are you talking about ? Do you speak english, boy ? It's out of character for him to do so. He probably can but he won't. We argue what's in character, idiot. Wrong. Harry's connection made it possible. Voldemort explains this shit and borrows someone else's wand. When this doesn't work he goes after the most powerful wand ever. It's like saying the ak won't work because Harry survives, idiot. You are shockingly stupid.

Irony overload. [/B]
Has anyone ever laughed at a joke of yours ? That's rhetorical we both know the answer to that. Try to keep a shred of dignity.

One poster. On one wholly irrelevant point, and the other is a very minor part of the HPverse wizard's standard capabilities. Going by this line of logic, I get Robtard's vote while you do DDM's. Stalemate is the best you can hope against me.

I never knew you ate your own poop. Meal of trolls. [/B]

Robtard hasn't weighed in on apparition vs. flying. Are you stupid ? Again rhetorical. Robtard chimes in to downplay the h pwizards because he doesn't like them and chooses who wins by what his vagina tells him.

The Harry Potter wiki and common sense. Oh and the fact the deatheaters use the same smoke Snape and Voldemort employ.

"Who was he? The thief?"

You found no proof at all to support your position: only mine. It is at this point that Voldemort would have ran straight to Hogwarts to get the wand and here's why:

1. He knows how to take ownership of the wand, now.
2. He was just told all the juicy details by the scared shitless wand maker.

So why would he go to Grindelwald? Your explanation makes no sense. My reason is why: he didn't want to face the reality of the situation and was clinging to a hope that he didn't have to go to Hogwarts. This is also why he was enraged at Grendelwald's answer as he was holding out in the hopes it wasn't there.

Edit - Also, I read no evidence in the books that Grendelwald told Voldemort nothing. Seriously. There's nothing in there that implies Grendelwald said nothing. If what you say is true, that supports my argument even more: Voldemort already knew who the owner was.

So why did Fawke's jump in the way? Why did Voldemort even cast the spell? Why did Dumbledore even cast spells at Voldemort and why did Voldemort put up a shield?

It is quite simple: duels do not work they way you want them to work. Apparating away everytime is just not a solution for some unknown reason.

But, yes, you found the answer. I could lie and say that if Dumbledore apparated away, the snake would kill Harry. So he had to stop both to save Harry and Fawkes realized this. However, I just don't think that was the reason.

Incorrect. I just made a point. I was not arguing against a point you had made. Nor did I say you said that. I was simply making a point about Voldemort's knowledge because I wanted to preempt that argument before it got to that point. I was the one that stated Grendelwald was killed in the books, not you: so it should be obvious that I am very much aware of the events surrounding the Elder Wand and Voldemort. I also stated that I was hoping you would bring up Voldemort's and Grendelwald's conversation from the books so you could prove me right and you wrong. So don't pretend my words were a distrotion of your arguments when it wasn't even a reply to your argument: just tangentially related.

It's your fault for internalizing that section as an attack, not mine for making the point. Had I wanted to strawman your point, I would have done it and you would not have realized it.

Too bad: I just read it, again, for funzies. Most likely, you did find the second and third portion, have arguments against those, and are just waiting for me to make those points.

Nope, not going to do it. 🙂 You do it. 🙂

Incorrect: Albus himself said that Voldemort knew more and was more talented when it came to wizarding.

The reason Voldemort feared Albus was due to Albus' possessed the Elderwand which Voldemort thought was unbeatable. That didn't stop him from engaging Albus in a duel, however. 😄

You should admit fault to quanchi: it is the only respectful thing to do. It would also show that you are not so prideful as to admit you were wrong: something lacking in these parts.

Sorry, that's just not correct. Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard in HP up until his chosen death.

Now you can argue that the margin of superiority was slim, sure.

Nice trollbait and you know I admit I'm wrong when I am.

Wrong. We see in the movies when they match up that Voldemort is clearly more powerful in direct comparison. We also see his has superior feats. What makes you think Dumbledore is more powerful ?

I am currently raping godkiller but ares is a known coward. I challenged him to a battlezone and he crawled away. He's a little boy. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Trust me ares will go into hiding soon.

Dumbledore disagrees with you, good sir. I would agree that it is open to argument and Dumbledore really was trying to be modest...but he was having a sincere heart-to-heart during one of his statements of Voldemort's superiority (and not the one he had with McGonagill).

It wasn't not trollbait: I wanted someone to admit to being wrong in this thread because everyone has too huge of an ego. I conceded a point to ares, already. Everyone should follow-suit. These threads would not last nearly as long if people did that more often.

Anyway, TheGodKiller already showed why we can tell Voldemort did not know who had the wand in the books.

Quite right. However, Dumbledore had quite a bit of time in this case as Harry was able to shout "look out" (or something similar) in the time between the two attacks and Dumbledore's defense. That should be plenty of time for Dumbledore to apparate away.

Originally posted by ares834

That is quite irrelevant to the section of the post you quoted. haha

But if you want to make that point, I would refer you to this:

"I knew you'd come one day. But surely you must know I no longer have what you seek."

Implies quite a lot.

Implies:

1. He knew Voldemort would want the wand.
2. He knew that Voledmort knew he did not have the wand.

For me, that scene implies that Voldemort was just confirming what he already knew and he was angry with the answer: just observe what happens after he was told. He gets a nasty look on his face and quickly blasts out of the room. He mad. He real mad. In the book, it speaks more directly to Voldemort's frustration with Grindelwald's answer. Now why would he be mad about the answer? "

It was? I thought that was a secret that he took over and it was the ministry of magic that had it under control (at that point in the film).

Also, if he could get in, why the barrier? Lastly, why was the tomb not behind the barrier? Holy shit, dude...like...I have so many legit questions that makes it confusing as to why Voldemort did not just go straight to Dumbeldore's tomb.

Why did he not go straight to Dumbledore's tomb before confronting Gregorovitch (we can say that he did not know about the wand and if he did, he did not know if it was even worth seeking...he only needed a wand to defeat Harry. However, that does not explain everything. We can also say that Voldemort knew that such artifcats would have special requirements or abilities that needed to be known before he idiotically sought after them...that seems more likely the explanation)? Why did he not go straight to Dumbledore after talking to Gregorovitch (this is where the true fail begins, imo)?

Oh! So your story changes? Cool! 😄

But, you can't have your cake and eat it, too. Either he said nothing or he said stuff. Both scenarios support my position about Voldy knowing where it was before talking to Mr. Taint. 😄

Maybe...maybe....but there could be something else at play and it would explain a LOT about duels in the books and movies. If everyone had to just apparate away to avoid getting hit, why does anyone get hit about half the time (surprise hits work but face to face hits shouldn't happen)? I don't think Dumbledore had enough time, either, as it reads in the books. Also, I highly doubt Dumbledore needed any shout-help from Harry.

But if that is the case, it shows, yet again, why Dumbledore was outmatched in that duel. awesome He needed Harry's help.

Yes. Snape is headmaster at the time. Furthermore, we see Death Eaters stop the Hogwarts express.

The most obvious reason is because he doesn't realize Dumbledore has the wand. It's been awhile since I watched the movies, but in the books Voldemort does not know who the thief is initially. It is only when he sees a book in Godrick's Hollow that he realizes it is Grindelwald. As for information, not once (at least as far as I recall) in the movies do we see him asking about the power of the Elder Wand. He only asks where it is and who has it.

Please. He says nothing about the location of the Wand, he merely taunts Voldemort. Afterwards, Voldemort manages to deduce Dumbledore has it. Hell, even Harry at this point was able to.

The reason wizards aren't always apparting is it takes time and skill. In fact, the only time I recall any doing it while dueling are Voldemort and Dumbledore. And no, I'm doubtful Dumbledore needed Harry's shout for help, rather that shout suggests there is time enough for Dumbledore to have apparated out of the way.

😆 Rabbits hunting lions is more believable than herochat's prom queen "raping" anyone.

I don't go hunting and living off of every word you say. You however already proved you make cliffnotes of my posts. I clarified my point on the same page further demonstrating your own stupidity. Thanks for the laughs.

You really need to calm down, brah. I mean while I would expect you to crumble when up against me, this display of paranoid schizophrenia almost makes even me pity you.

Apparition is instant travel to one location. I posted word for word from the harry potter wiki entry. Apparition is to a single location. The films make this clear. We see Voldemort and Snape fly with smoke all around them as well making it no different than the other death eaters. That's the funniest part of this is it looks exactly the same but you want to cite the book here. I think by now you know you are clearly wrong but the butthurt is strong in you. Apparition is used by Voldemort when he goes after Harry. Flight is used when he and Harry fall from Hogwarts. It's clearly different. Apparition isn't used to mini teleport right in front of you thousands of times to get to a location as you have been implying that's flight. But either way Snape and Voldemort both have are flying in a dark smoke as well in the movies, idiot.

Another non-argument. Guess I won't be getting any proof, seeing how there is none for you to save face.

I asked for examples. You made a claim and cannot even list a few feats. The reason I am asking is I really want to know what impressed you about these mages. It's funny to me you favor their abilities over the Hp mages. It's not even close.

I thought I replied to this in my previous post. I guess inbred specimens like you need repetitions in order to get the point across:

The context for the reason the wand was broken in combat doesn't apply here. I already told you this, idiot. Harry easily destroyed a wand he was the master of. Yes, it's his wand. The wand won't resist him, idiot. My claim is someone wielding the one in combat not someone deciding hey I am going to smash my own wand. Dumbledore is easily more powerful than Harry but he couldn't destroy Voldemort's wand while directly opposing him in combat. So why was Harry able to ? Their connection you idiot.

So basically speaking, you're making an argument from intuition where a wand would easily resist being being destroyed because it's a "conduit" for the wizard's power(another unproven hypothesis of yours), based on which you dismiss the opposing argument which is based on factual evidence from the movies themselves. I am hardly surprised as this isn't the first time you've gone to lalaland in order to (unsuccessfully, I might add)twist your way out of the corner you've been forced into.

Never went for what move ? What the hell are you talking about ? Do you speak english, boy ? It's out of character for him to do so. He probably can but he won't. We argue what's in character, idiot. Wrong. Harry's connection made it possible. Voldemort explains this shit and borrows someone else's wand. When this doesn't work he goes after the most powerful wand ever. It's like saying the ak won't work because Harry survives, idiot. You are shockingly stupid.

Flawed strawman. Gandalf isn't an HP mage, dumbo. He has already demonstrated that he'll rely on a strategy that HP wizards almost never even think of while in battle. I am using your logic to showcase that since we've never seen Dumbledore perform that type of magic, hence surely he is incapable of doing so. How does it feel to have a taste of your own poisonous medicine?

Has anyone ever laughed at a joke of yours ? That's rhetorical we both know the answer to that. Try to keep a shred of dignity.
Robtard hasn't weighed in on apparition vs. flying. Are you stupid ? Again rhetorical. Robtard chimes in to downplay the h pwizards because he doesn't like them and chooses who wins by what his vagina tells him.

Robtard's opinion on this discussion is just about as relevant as dadudemon's, since they both focus on only minute points that aren't really relevant to the crux of the argument.

The Harry Potter wiki and common sense. Oh and the fact the deatheaters use the same smoke Snape and Voldemort employ.

You called me a nerd whose knowledge of Harry Potter only came from wikis, yet you yourself rely on wikis. What a hypocrite you are.
