Why Didn't Dumbledore Just DESTROY Voldemort's Death Eaters? - Harry Potter Theory
- One speaker
Dumbledore was arguably the most powerful wizard of his generation. Actually, scratch that, I don’t think it’s even arguable. He famously defeated Gellert Grindelwald, his list of magical accomplishments is completely unparalleled, and perhaps most significant of all: he was the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever truly feared. But somehow, throughout BOTH Wizarding Wars, Voldemort's followers were seemingly free to terrorize the wizarding world. They’d murder, torture and kidnap with what seemed like FREE REIGN.
