In fact, here's how Aberforth specifically describes the attack and his sister: However, their friendship came to an end when they got into a three-way duel with Aberforth that wound up killing Ariana.īut, why did Ariana need to be cared for at all? As Aberforth revealed to Harry, Hermione, and Ron, she was attacked by a group of Muggle boys when she was six-years-old, and it had a lasting effect on her. Dumbledore struck up a friendship with Grindelwald in which the boys began planning Grindelwald's revolution to establish wizards as benevolent overlords of Muggles. It's additionally unclear if Credence has been an Obscurus since he was under 10, or if he's proof that witches and wizards can manifest an Obscurus into their teen years - perhaps even into adulthood.Īs Aberforth explains, Dumbledore had just graduated from Hogwarts, but was forced to return home to Godric's Hollow to care for Ariana - who was 14 at the time - because his mother had been killed in a magical accident that included his sister (his father was in prison for attacking a group of Muggle boys). ![]() It's unclear if Mary Lou knew of Credence's magical abilities and that factors into her abuse, but she does mean to abuse him when she discovers Modesty playing with a wand the young girl found among Credence's belongings. Mary Lou is fanatical in her hatred of witches and wizards, and she physically abuses Credence, creating an environment that would cause the teenager to suppress his magic. In terms of how Credence became an Obscurus, it seems to be fairly straightforward that his life with Mary Lou caused him to repress whatever magical abilities with which he was born.

Throughout Fantastic Beasts, Graves - who is revealed to be the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) - attempts to find the child that manifested the Obscurus through a manipulative relationship with Credence. The creature is revealed to be an Obscurus - which isn't so much a creature as a force of magic (more on that later) - and in the final act of Fantastic Beasts, the Obscurus is revealed to be Second Salemer Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller). However, just prior to Newt's arrival in New York City, a terrifying magical creature begins terrorizing the city and its No-Maj inhabitants, threatening the delicate balance between the MACUSA and Second Salemers.
