The big “secret” about the Dumbeldore family that the title promises is actually an explanation of the last film's cliffhanger. Albus confirms to Creedence early on in the film that he is in fact a Dumbledore, quashing any rumor that
In simple terms, Dumbledore's secret weapon was Harry Potter who was love personfied in one form or another. He was born from the union of Love between James and Lilly. He survived the greatest dark wizard because of Lilly's love.
Unbeknownst to Harry, for a long time, Dumbledore's greatest desire was to be with his former lover, Gellert Grindelwald.
Dumbledore knew that destroying Voldemort's horcruxes was the only way to truly defeat him. He believed that Harry was the one person who was smart, courageous, and perhaps lucky enough to find and eliminate all the horcruxes.
The betrayal here stems again from the idea of "For the Greater Good" – Dumbledore seems to have chosen Harry to die, since he had already been chosen to die once, in order to save the rest of the world… he just never informed Harry of this decision. Whoops.
Yes, Dumbledore did ask Snape to kill him so Draco wouldn't. Dumbledore did indeed ask Snape to kill him, so that Draco wouldn't either succeed and maim his own soul, or more likely fail and be killed by the Dark Lord for his almost inevitable failure. "All the same, try.
One is that Severus Snape is a master of Occlumency and therefore a difficult target for Voldemort to see through. The second is that Harry himself was not able to block Voldemort, and therefore the overall plan between Snape and Dumbledore was too critical to risk its discovery.
Voldemort wasn't aware of Harry being a pseudo-horcrux because he didn't plan it, and Harry didn't know either until Voldemort “killed” him, but he actually killed the piece of soul kept in him.
He finds out for sure immediately after Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley. This night is significant in many ways. While Harry sleeps, he enters Nagini's mind.
After it was revealed that Dumbledore was devastated by the accidental death of his sister during a fight with Grindelwald and his brother, Aberforth, it became clear that Dumbledore's deepest desire, and regret, involved his family.
He was easily blinded by love. This was the root of his mistakes with Grindelwald. While Dumbledore was never evil, he was power hungry and his love for Grindelwald blinded him. Similarly, his love for Harry made him neglect telling him certain things that he should've known.
The big “secret” about the Dumbeldore family that the title promises is actually an explanation of the last film's cliffhanger. Albus confirms to Creedence early on in the film that he is in fact a Dumbledore, quashing any rumor that Grindelwald had lied to the young boy in order to sway him to his movement.
The film was overstuffed and overlong, and did not have many of those wow moments that peppered Potter movies. It did not help that fans were not too happy about Johnny Depp, who essayed the supervillain of the film Grindelwald, being part of the cast.
Credence captures the Qilin and returns to Grindelwald, not realising that two were born that night. Grindelwald later orders Credence to murder his uncle Albus Dumbledore in Berlin, claiming that the Dumbledores knowingly abandoned him.
