In the biggest twist in all of Harry Potter stories to date, it turns out that Credence Barebone's assumption that he is the missing Lestrange boy (Corvus) who was assumed to have perished at sea as an infant is wrong and that he's actually Aurelius Dumbledore.

That changes everything, given that we've literally never heard of a third Dumbledore son and the fact that his parentage and year of birth don't make sense, given that both of his parents were dead before he was born. Unless his mother was an Azkaban witch or something along those lines.

This is one of those connections that will shake the very foundations of the Wizarding World and it's interesting to see where it goes next. Because there's defintiely another twist coming.
