伏地魔和格林德沃是哈利波特世界中最臭名昭著的黑巫師，兩位都在哈利波特與神奇動物系列中傳播暴力和仇恨，想通過領導一大群追隨者並運用黑魔法來徵服世界。——但是哪一個更強大呢?
While there is no doubt that Voldemort is a formidable opponent and capable of great cruelty, certain factors make Grindelwald more powerful.
毫無疑問，伏地魔是一個可怕的敵人，而且非常殘忍，但某些因素讓格林德沃更加強大。
During the 1930s and well into World War II, Grindelwald's influence spread all over the world as he raised an army under the false banner of peace and change.
在20世紀30年代和第二次世界大戰期間，格林德沃打著和平與變革的旗號徵募軍隊，他的影響力遍及全世界。
Meanwhile, Voldemort's rise to power was contained to the United Kingdom during the 70s and lasted until the death of Harry's parents and Voldemort's fall in 1981.
然而，直到哈利父母去世和1981年伏地魔的倒臺，伏地魔的權力在70年代一直被束縛在英國境內。
First, unlike Voldemort, Grindelwald had full control of the Elder Wand during his conquest of the Wizarding World.
With the Elder Wand in his hands, Grindelwald could only be defeated by Dumbledore, and it’s debatable how much their feelings for each other influenced the outcome of their legendary duel.
首先，與伏地魔不同，格林德沃在徵服魔法世界的過程中完全控制了老魔杖。有了老魔杖，格林德沃只能被鄧布利多打敗，他們對彼此的感情在很大程度上影響了他們傳奇決鬥的結果。
Meanwhile, Voldemort’s attempts at gaining control of the wand failed. While his knowledge of the dark arts was extensive, it can’t be compared to Grindelwald’s after years of being the master of the Elder Wand.
與此同時，伏地魔為了控制老魔杖所作的努力失敗了。雖然他的黑魔法知識很淵博，但仍無法於操縱老魔杖多年的格林德沃相比。
Voldemort's fear of death combined with arrogance made him reckless and blind to his enemies』 capabilities. Grindelwald, on the other hand, showed no fear, not even when Voldemort confronted him in prison, weakened and aged.
伏地魔對死亡的恐懼加上傲慢使他不計後果，對敵人的能力視而不見。而格林德沃即使已經年老體弱，在監獄裡面對伏地魔的時候，他依然無所畏懼。
Finally, Grindelwald’s greatest ability is to persuade and manipulate those around him. While Voldemort relied on hatred and fear, Grindelwald built support with lies and propaganda.
最後，格林德沃最大的能力是說服和操縱他周圍的人。伏地魔是依靠仇恨和恐懼，而格林德沃則靠畫餅和政治宣傳來獲得支持。
As seen in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,he shows to a crowd a premonition of World War II: muggles will once again plunge the world into a terrible war and promises them a better world.
正如我們在《神奇動物:格林德沃之罪》中看到的那樣，他在集會中展示了關於第二次世界大戰的預言:麻瓜將再次把世界捲入一場可怕的戰爭，而他向巫師們許諾將會給他們一個更美好的世界。
伏地魔所造成的恐懼只會在一段時間內產生影響，但格林德沃是從精神上獲得黑巫師們的忠誠和盲目信仰，這使他的徵服之途變得更為順利。
