Sorry if this is an exhausted topic, I’ve only just watched the 2nd and 3rd movies.

Why did they feel the need to introduce this new blood pact thing? I feel like the original explanation the books gave of dumbledore not fighting grindelwald out of affection would have made so much more sense, it would have also made the entire storyline that much more impactful with the reveal of dumbledores gayness. Instead they needlessly introduced a new bit of magic riddled with plot holes for… what purpose? It just dumbed the story down and made some of the plot points feel nonsensical.

Is this the general consensus or am I missing something?
