Fantastic animate being : The Secrets of Dumbledorerevealed Credence was really Aurelius Dumbledore , Aberforth’sestranged Word , turning a hated plot twist into a unspoiled story . The third installation of the five - picture show serial saw Gellert Grindelwald ( Mads Mikkelsen ) resurrect to power and then hang once more as Dumbledore ( Jude Law ) and his team curb his ascension to Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards . The story is intertwine with several reveals about the Dumbledore family : Albus ' relationship with Grindelwald , the report of Ariana , and of course , the reunification of Aberforth ( Richard Coyle ) and Aurelius / Credence ( Ezra Miller ) .
When Johnny Depp ’s Grindelwald revealed Credence ’s identity operator as Aurelius Dumbledore inFantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwald , the plot twist beget a preponderantly disconfirming reaction . Grindelwald claim Aurelius was Albus ' pal , but a fourth Dumbledore sib was never mention before in theHarry Potterseries . what is more , considering Kendra Dumbledore was dead and Percival was in Azkaban at the metre of Credence ’s parentage in 1900/1901 , it created a big plot hole . However , ifFantastic Beasts’creators had retconned it by revealing Grindelwald had been lying about Credence ’s identity operator , the plot turn of events would have look as acheap Warner Bros. trick forFantastic Beasts 3 , plan to draw more Dumbledore fans to the next movie .

or else , Fantastic Beasts 3found a clean answer to the Credence / Aurelius twist , steering all the way of huge plot of land cakehole or harmful retcons . credenza is the Logos Aberforth had with a woman from Godric ’s Hollow , but the woman was charge away and Aberforth never got to be a begetter . Albus state his regret for not being a better friend and blood brother to Aberforth : " He might have trust in me [ … ] This boy could have been part of our life , part of our family . “TheCredence twist go theHarry Pottercanon , albeit reframing Aberforth’s"secrets and lies"line fromThe Deathly Hallows . It seems like both Dumbledores have secrets , and Aurelius never being mentioned inHarry Potteradds to the fact that Aberforth was n’t necessarily right in criticizing Albus for his secretiveness . Overall , the Credence / Aurelius wrench madeFantastic brute 3better , even kick in deep meaning to the film ’s deed of conveyance : it ’s not just a film about audience - favorite Albus , but a film about the whole Dumbledore household .
Through its Credence twist , Fantastic Beasts 3also give Aberforth a greater role to play - he had only made a right appearance inThe Deathly Hallows(played byGame of ThronesandJustice Leagueactor Ciaran Hinds ) , and his conversation with Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe ) only brushed off his and Albus ' yesteryear . Of naturally , while the film adds many layers to Aberforth ’s character , it also retcons a few things , such as Albus and Aberforth ’s kinship . Harry Pottercanon states that Aberforth hat Albus for a long clip , charge him for Ariana ’s end ( and even breaking his nose at her funeral ) . However , Fantastic Beasts 3shows the brothers as having a fairly close human relationship . Perhaps enough fourth dimension has passed ( over three decades ) from Ariana ’s last for Aberforth to forgive and forget . eventually , Aurelius is never name in theHarry Potterseries , but this makes sense considering the Dumbledores ' now - famous secrecy .
After the plot holes created byThe crime of Grindelwald(Minerva McGonagallbeing at the head ) , it was good to seeFantastic wildcat : The secret of Dumbledorebe more careful about its plot of ground and revelations . Aurelius Dumbledore fits the canyon andFantastic animal 4and5can recrudesce his character , but the creators must step lightly . If Aberforth and Credence becomes too swelled a tale ( and if Credence make it the fifth movie ) , theHarry Pottercanon will definitely suffer a negative impact .
