THE LIFE AND LIES OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Once they are safely back in their protected tent, Hermione shows Harry the Rita Skeeter book, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, which she took from Bathilda's house.

They read a part about Albus' sister who died young, and who Rita accuses of being a squib in her book because she never attended Hogwarts. In the book, Dumbledore is portrayed to have been behind her death and connected with the dark arts through his friend Grindelwald. Grindelwald is also the wizard Dumbledore was said to have defeated, so this confuses Harry. Which is true?

Harry sees a photograph in the book of Dumbledore and "the thief" and discovers that it is Grindelwald and Dumbledore, looking like close friends.

The book also has a photocopy of a letter which Dumbledore wrote to Grindelwald, which makes it appear that Dumbledore supported the idea of Magic supremacy, "for the greater good".
