5. HE WAS LOCKED AWAY IN HIS OWN PRISONTo add insult to injury, Grindelwald was banged up in Nurmengard, the structure that he personally erected to hold his enemies during his reign of terror, after his defeat. The architect was still a strong believer in the message he and Dumbledore had planned to spread throughout the wizarding world when he built his towering fortress prison, and as such their motto “For the Greater Good” was incorporated into the design, ominously carved in stone over the entrance way.  Rowling has described Nurmengard as a “grim fortress, jet black and foreboding,” and that only covers the exterior. Grindelwald’s cell was a dank room at the top of the tallest tower, with nothing in it but a cold stone bed and a dirty ragged blanket. To make matters worse for the toppled revolutionary, he was the prison’s only inhabitant. All the previous occupants were freed after his defeat at Dumbledore’s hand. Grindelwald lived as a prisoner here for a total of 53 years until another Dark Wizard’s search for the Elder Wand finally caught up with him. -- source link
