Cassy:

I wonder if there's a spell or a portion that deprives wizard of his
magical powers? Like, permanently. Because,IMO,  it would be a very
nice way to deal with a dark wizard, who is too powerful to be simply
kept prisoner, but whom we don't want to kill (beacuse we're too
noble, right?).  Imagine, Grindewald living somewhere in post-war
Germany as a muggle and simply diying of an old age.
