    My head canon: Dementors can't be killed or destroyed. They don't NEED to eat, but they hunger constantly like vampires. In my mind, they probably had a lot of conflict with wizards (and muggles) for a long time. I think they probably made a deal with them to keep them under control. They would provide prisoners for them to feed upon in order to keep them sated because the alternative is much worse: they'd be roaming around uncontrolled, killing lots of innocent people. Sacrificing prisoners does seem barbaric and cruel, but it's preferable to everyone in the world living in fear forever, never knowing when dementors will come for them or their children, as well as exposing the world of magic to muggles which would undoubtedly lead to muggle vs wizard conflicts on top of that.

    • @HunterStiles651

      Muggles can't see Dementors though. In the presence of Dementors, Muggles just have the same vague feeling of unhappiness that Wizards do, but they don't understand why. Also, for most people being in the presence of Dementors isn't likely to cause any serious harm. Unless you've had some truly awful things happen to you like Harry or Dudley, you'll be fine.

    The carriage scene wasn’t a “body switching power”, it was polyjuice that they each took at the same time, so it wore off at the same time. The proof is that at the beginning of the movie, Picquery says they cut out Grindelwald’s tongue. Later, Grindelwald replaces Abernathy’s severed tongue with a forked one. Also, during the escape scene Abernathy doesn’t speak once. (Maybe he does after he gets his tongue back, I’m not sure)

    Something I’ve always wondered was how more wizards haven’t escaped Azkaban. So you know how Sirius’s wand has runes all over it? Well he supposedly carved them into his wand while he was at Azkaban, which means he must have his wand while at Azkaban. And what creatures guard Azkaban? Dementors. What spell can deflect Dementors? The Patronus Charm. And there is no way that not one prisoner knows how to make a patronus. And the only thing I can think of that would disprove my theory is if there is some spell or potion or something that makes a wand not usable in that location or makes it so that a person can’t cast a spell in that location. Also I know you may be thinking ‘but wait if there are so many dementors someone may not be able to cast the spell.’ Well actually no. In Prisoner of Azkaban Harry deflects 100+ dementors. So there may be more that 100 dementors at Azkaban but if there are multiple people who can produce a patronus then I bet they could do it.

      Samuel Musser, I agree. The only way this breakout tactic makes sense is if Grindelwald is making decisions in order to build the legend of his own power, making himself into a perceived unstoppable foe. Dumbledore's continued existence is the biggest threat to this plan in two ways; First: Albus is a very talented and powerful wizard in his own right and Second: He is essentially the only person alive who truly knows what Grindelwald is actually capable of accomplishing.

    This is crazy, I discussed the ethics of Azkaban on my channel just a few weeks ago. Awesome timing!

Azkaban's success rate during the era of the dementors is undeniable.

    There may be different amounts of ‘guarding’ at Azkaban depending on your crime; Sirius was one of the most heavily guarded prisoners, so I always imagined Dementors basically posted outside his door.
    That said, no, pretty sure that nothing is worth having Dementors around, especially when they don’t effect the most horrible people the same as normal people!
