[HPforGrownups] Wondering what others thinkGrindelwald

I hadn't thought about this aspect consciously, but now I am assuming that
Grindelwald didn't *have* the elder wand with him at the time of the duel.
That's the only way a duel could be won. (Remember, Harry became master of
the elder wand because he defeated Draco when Draco was using his regular
wand.) Which leads me to believe that Grindelwald and Dumbledore dueled
when Grindelwald was using another wand for some reason or no wand at all.
I think Dumbledore knew Grindelwald well enough to guess where he would
have hidden the elder wand and found it afterwards. Of course, the FB
movies may blow that theory out of the water soon enough.
