Remembering the Sad Story of Ariana, Albus Dumbledore’s Troubled and Ill-Fated Sister
Warning: Big spoilers for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald ahead!The complicated thing about the Fantastic Beasts franchise is that it really fills in the blanks of the Wizarding World's history.
Oftentimes, that means we're getting introduced to things that don't get a single mention in the original Harry Potter book series.
Take, for instance, the Dumbledore family, which experiences a strange expansion in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
At the end of the film, we find out Creedence is actually a member of the door family: his name is Aurelius.
While this is an entirely new character hitherto unheard of in the Harry Potter world, we do hear about one member of the family that definitely rings a bell: Ariana Dumbledore, Albus's ill-fated sister.
Did you forget about her tragic story? That's what we're here for.
The biography is available on Pottermore, but we're pulling out top highlights.
