We know the Elder Wand allied with Draco Malfoy, who disarmed rather than killed Albus Dumbledore. It later switched its loyalty to
This nuance was lost on Lord Voldemort, who wrongly assumed Severus Snape held the Elder Wand because he was Dumbledore's killer, when in reality Draco had disarmed Dumbledore before Snape arrived on the scene, making Malfoy the wand's true new owner.
Voldemort thinks that he becomes the true owner of the Elder Wand by stealing it from Dumbledore's grave, but in the end we learn that the true owner was really Draco Malfoy, that is until Harry defeated him and allegiance transferred to Harry.
According to Rowling's Deathly Hallows novel, Grindelwald first gains possession of the wand sometime before the original Fantastic Beasts movie by stealing it from world famous wandmaker Mykew Gregorovitch and stunning him with a spell, thus gaining the wand's allegiance.
Antioch Peverell is the original master of the Elder Wand. While the legend states that Death created the powerful wand for him, other wizards, such as Albus Dumbledore, believed that Antioch made the wand himself.
He was under orders from Lord Voldemort to kill Dumbledore, and had made multiple attempts over the course of the year to do so, terrified for his family's safety. Draco had no idea that by disarming Dumbledore, he became the master of his wand — the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows.
Dumbledore didn't allow Draco to disarm him. Dumbledore was defeated, since the Elder Wand ownership changed. If Dumbledore had allowed Draco to disarm him, he wouldn't have been defeated.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
Grindelwald was infatuated with Dumbledore. Both ingenious wizards with somewhat extreme ambitions, the two became inspired to find the Deathly Hallows and lead a revolution that would destroy the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, allowing wizards to rise as benign worldly overlords.
Albus was fascinated by Grindelwald's research on the Deathly Hallows and ideas of wizarding domination, and their friendship soon turned into a romantic relationship, in which Albus fell in love with Grindelwald.
Given that the third film takes place in the early 1930s, we still have a little over a decade to go until the legendary duel in 1945 that netted Albus the Elder Wand (one of the Deathly Hallows) and saw Grindelwald trapped in his own castle until he was murdered by Voldemort years later.
Dumbledore's wand was The Elder Wand was revealed to Snape by Voldemort only when he was about to be killed because when Voldemort entered Hogwarts, he definitely would not have revealed the reason behind it to Snape; so there was no way that Snape would have deduced all the connection which would lead the line of ...
Dumbledore left Harry the Resurrection Stone (disguised in a Snitch) in his will, and Harry uses it just before he goes to battle Voldemort. However, he doesn't use it to try to bring the dead back for an extended period or anything.
Dumbledore had hoped, by having the Elder Wand placed with him in his tomb, that the power of the Wand would then be ended; the wand would transfer its allegiance to the latest person who had captured it, and as Snape had killed Dumbledore, it would be Snape to whom the wand owed its allegiance.
James inherited the cloak from his father, Fleamont Potter, who inherited it as a descendant of Iolanthe Peverell -- a granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. The cloak passed down through generations of the family until it reached James and then Harry.
Their falling out came as a result of a three-way duel between them and Dumbledore's brother Aberforth that ended up killing his sister. As far as we knew, Dumbledore and Grindelwald didn't meet until 1945, when Dumbledore famously defeated Grindelwald in a duel and took the Elder Wand.
In the new clip from Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore can be seen admitting to being in love with Grindelwald.
Harry Potter creator and coolest Muggle around J.K. Rowling has finally expanded on the relationship between beloved Headmaster of Hogwartz Albus Dumbledore and his former childhood friend – and lover – Gellert Grindelwald.
While their romantic relationship doesn't progress farther than those pained one-liners in the movie — they don't kiss, but they're far from together in this film — the extra layer of shared history, and nuance, makes the relationship between the two men that much more compelling.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Her sacrifice gave Harry the power of love, a protection spell sealed with the blood spilled by her death.
Dumbledore knew that destroying Voldemort's horcruxes was the only way to truly defeat him. He believed that Harry was the one person who was smart, courageous, and perhaps lucky enough to find and eliminate all the horcruxes.
For all intents and purposes, this act only solidified Harry's suspicions that Snape was working against Dumbledore the entire time. But there were parts of the story Harry didn't know, including that Dumbledore was already dying and had asked Snape to kill him when the time was right.
