18	!!This work provides examples of:
19	* AdaptationDyeJob: Gellert's hair looks closer to a light brown than blond, while Albus's hair is a dark brown rather than auburn like it is mentioned to be.
20	* AgeInappropriateDress: Even accounting for the period setting, Ariana's dress is unsettlingly child-like, presumably reflecting her mental state.
21	* AgonyBeam: The opening salvo of the duel is from Gellert, who casts Crucio on Aberforth.
22	* BeamOWar: A quick one happens between Albus and Gellert.
23	* BigBrotherInstinct: Albus doesn't even draw out his wand until Grindelwald starts torturing Aberforth.
24	** Aberforth himself is mostly concerned with protecting Ariana.
25	* BlownAcrossTheRoom:
26	** Gellert gets blown across the sea.
27	** Albus is blown towards the sky, and later against a rock.
28	* ContinuityNod: ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban "Arresto Momentum!"]]''
29	* DeathByOriginStory: [[spoiler:Ariana is killed by one of the two stray killing curses at the end]].
30	* DramaticIrony
31	--> '''Ariana:''' ''"I want to see mumma."''
32	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Ariana, in Aberforth's arms]].
33	%%* FantasticRacism: Gellert, towards Muggles.
34	%%* ForTheGreaterGood
35	* LastNameBasis: Albus stops calling his former friend "Gellert" when he finally sees his true colors.
36	%%* TheOphelia: Ariana, as per the source material.
37	* PeriodPiece: Their outfits are mostly accurate for the era.
38	* PlayingTennisWithTheBoss: Gellert reflects several of Albus and Aberforth's spells right back at them, and they do the same to him.
39	%%* ThePowerOfLove: Grindelwald renounces it, calling it a distraction, to Albus' despair.
40	* {{Prequel}}: Serves as one to the greater ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' universe.
41	%%* RammingAlwaysWorks: Grindelwald delivers a quick one to Albus.
42	* SaveTheVillain: At one point, Albus puts himself between Aberforth and Grindelwald, preventing Aberforth from killing Gellert. It's ambiguous whether his "I can't" is because he's literally incapable of killing Gellert or that he can't let his little brother do it.
43	** Albus uses the killing curse himself against Gellert immediately afterwards, suggesting that it was his job, but there's the possibility that he was expecting another BeamOWar.
44	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Grindelwald apparates elsewhere at the end.
45	* SiblingTeam: Albus and Aberforth tag team Grindelwald, even launching a combined attack against him at one point.
46	%%* WizardDuel
47	* WorthyOpponent: Albus for Gellert. Grindelwald refuses to attack Dumbledore until he has drawn his wand, he says that he had always wanted to fight Albus, and refuses to take the opportunity to shoot him in the back.
