OlderFans Think Harry Potter's Ariana Dumbledore Was An Obscurus & We Definitely Agree With Them
Harry Potter fans are just way too smart and we yearn to be like them all the time — especially when they figure out something like this.
In a major connection with the prequel franchise, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, fans have pointed out that Ariana Dumbledore, Albus’ younger sister, might have actually been an obcurus too, like Credence (Ezra Miller).
Here’s the history behind Ariana: she was assaulted by three Muggle boys who saw her doing magic and because of this trauma, Ariana refuses to use her powers and becomes magically unstable.
Years later, their mother Kendra dies in an accidental outburst of magic from Ariana, leaving Albus in charge of the family.
Sounds an awful lot like an obscurus to us!

Ariana internalized her magic after her childhood trauma and became an Obscurus Obscureal. One of her rages killed her mother. (cont)

travelled to the US, to find and study one and harness its power. This is what he was doing in the Fantastic Beasts movie. Or so I think :)

3/4 through The Deathly Hallows and I've just realised Ariana Dumbledore was an Obscurus. Mind blown!

@jk_rowling Inquiring minds desire to know: Did Ariana Dumbledore become an Obscurus because she repressed her magic?
