At this point in history, author J.K. Rowling does seem to be facing quite the backlash for all the added mythos she’s bringing to the Wizarding World. As Star Wars: The Last Jedi proved, when fans get their headcanon ruined, the results can be disastrous (Yes, I manage to make everything about The Last Jedi. It’s a gift). Though while many have qualms about the way Rowling is rolling out the story, she is still very much someone who loves to bury hints in plain sight.
In last year’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, they closed things off with a big cliffhanger — that Credence was a Dumbledore. More specifically, he was Aurelius Dumbledore, which is a name we didn’t even know existed until the film dropped it…or did we…?

The folks over at Hypable noticed an interesting detail on J.K. Rowling’s official site. In the banner of the “Answers” page, we see a book by Marcus Aurelius. They dug into the source code for the site, and it looks like that’s been on the site since October 2016 — a month or so before the first film came out.
See it? Okay, let’s have a closer look.
We know that, at this time, Rowling had a draft of The Crimes of Grindelwald under her belt, and it looks like she couldn’t resist the urge to tease us the slightest bit.
