So I came out of the theatre thinking “I don’t care what’s canon, Grindelwald was definitely impersonating the real Graves”.
I figured he had to be from the beginning because Graves was clearly a respected, high level guy and I didn't think Gindelwald would have been pretending to be him for years and years, you know? But I just read today on JKR's new website (http://www.jkrowling.com/welcome-to-my-new-website/) that it was meant to be a spell, not the polyjuice potion. I still think Graves has to be a real person, though.
Either way, I shouldn’t have to go online to find an interview with one of the producers to know what happened to one of the characters.
Absolutely. They should find time to tell us these things. Harry Potter has a really creative fanbase and a lot of sources for supplemental information, but we shouldn't have to finish the movie and then go online to figure out what happened in the movie.
Hopefully Graves (and an explanation lol) will show up again at some point. I would love it if all that turned out to be central to the next plot! With five films, anything's possible, right?
