At what place did the 5 Aurors in the Intro of Fantastic Beasts get killed? - Man in Gray Suit Jacket Holding Woman in Brown Dress

In the intro of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them you see 5 Aurors who try to infiltrate/investigate a place.

Before they get killed you can see a house/mansion, but what was it?

Grindelwald's house or headquarters?

Some say its Nurmengard Fortress but that is impossible cause Nurmengard Fortress/Prison is way bigger and stands between two big rocks.

Does anyone know what place the Aurors got killed?



Best Answer

It's left unclear.

From the script:

SCENE 1 EXT. SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE--1926--NIGHT

A large, isolated, derelict chateau emerges from the darkness. We focus on a cobbled square outside the building, shrouded in mist, eerie, silent.

Five Aurors stand, wands aloft, tentative as they edge towards the chateau. A sudden explosion of pure white light sends them flying.

We whip around to find their bodies scattered, lying motionless at the entrance to a large parkland. A figure (Grindelwald) enters the frame, his back to the camera; ignoring the bodies, he stares out into the night sky as we pan up towards the moon.

The use of the word chateau suggests that it's in a French-speaking country, and the parkland/cobblestone suggests an old country estate. "Derelict" makes it sound like it's not where Grindelwald lives on a long-term basis; either somewhere he's squatting temporarily or simply somewhere the Aurors tracked him to. But other than that, the location of the attack is left (I would say) deliberately vague.

Who was Grindelwald killed by?

In 1945, at the height of Grindelwald's power, Dumbledore confronted and defeated him in a legendary duel. He was subsequently imprisoned in his own fortress for decades, and was finally slain there by Lord Voldemort in 1998 when he refused to give up the location of the Elder Wand.
