Mike:

Speaking of anagrams, oh you weren't? Well anyway I tried 
out "Grindelwald" to see what's in it. You can get "Riddle" out but 
that leaves the letters "gnawl" and dang if I can make anything 
intelligent out of those. Anybody else try "Grindelwald" for an 
anagram? It just seems like Grindelwald is meant to be more than a 
name on the back of a Chocolate Frog Card that Harry learned on his 
first trip to Hogwarts.
