At first when I read the DH, one of my main complaints was "How did
Dumbledore win the duel with Grindelwald when he had an unbeatable
wand???"  Then I thought about it and listened to the book a second
time.  Dumbledore stole the wand from the wandmaker using polyjuice
potion to disguise himself as Grindlewald.  That whole theft scene was
a little weird with the thief acting like a bird (phoenix).. Now it
makes sense.  Grindlewald told Voldemort that he never had the wand
and Voldy called him a liar.  Maybe he was telling him the truth
..Dumbledore stole it..of course for the greater good
