wandthief[The communicator clicks on and Gellert can be seen reading a book - which is partly obscuring him as it is boldly in the foreground. The title can clearly be seen: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He's reading aloud.]
'Educated at Durmstrang, a school famous even then for its unfortunate tolerance of the Dark Arts, Grindelwald showed himself quite as precociously brilliant as Dumbledore.'
[He chuckles then continues reading aloud.]
'Rather than channel his abilities into the attainment of awards and prizes, however, Gellert Grindelwald devoted himself to other pursuits. At sixteen years old even Durmstrang felt it could no longer turn a blind eye to the twisted experiments of Gellert Grindelwald, and he was expelled.'
[He flips backward some pages, reads some then remarks.]
At least they don't insist I stole that wand by torture and murder. Who says I cannot restrain myself?
[The video is still running as he continues to flip through the book.]
