There have been many disputes about Fantastic Beast – Crimes Of Grindelwald because of the many inconsistencies we can’t connect to our favourite books.
Thus I firmly belive in J.K. Rowling, and I seriously doubt she would have just commit some mistakes like those she has been accused of lately.
In these posts, we’ll examine together some of the scenes, and try to find answers, obviously well aware we must wait all five the films to understand completely.
The first scene I want to talk you about is Dumbledore looking in the mirror of Erised, many disputes were soared, because in the mirror you should see the deepest and purest dreams of your heart, instead Dumbledore seems to live a memory: he and Grindelwald stipulating the blood pact.

But if we go through the appereance we can see that Dumbledore is not just re-living that moment, but his wish is to come back to that moment.
As we well know, Rita Skeeter in “Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore”, will reveal his love for his friend Grindelwald, and his struggle when he’ll find out who he really was.
It’s clear that Dumbledore probably wants to come back to that moment for many reasons: he wishes he’d never stipulated that pact to be able to fight Grindewald. He wishes they’re still friends and close like in that moment, and mostly he wanted to come back to have the chance to save his sister Ariana, died a few years earlier in a duel against Grindelwald himself.
