The description of the Obscurus and what we saw in Fantastic Beasts with Credence made many in fandom wonder if Ariana Dumbledore was an Obscurus herself. It all seems to add up: In Deathly Hallows, Aberforth Dumbledore revealed that Ariana’s suppression of her magic “turned inwards” and became “strange and dangerous.” Sounds like an Obscurus, no?

J.K. Rowling could dive into that aspect of Ariana and Albus’ life when the latter appears in future Fantastic Beasts films and tries to take down Grindelwald. Remember, Dumbledore thinks it was Grindelwald who accidentally killed Ariana on that fateful night (in the early 1900s, before the events of the Fantastic Beasts movie). He has reason to invoke Ariana when he’s taking down Grindey.

Also consider: Graves/Grindelwald noted that Dumbledore has taken an interest in Newt. Could one reason be related to Newt’s possession of an Obscurus?
Very interesting.
