   I think Dumbledore used an emotional appeal. He cared about   
   Grindelwald and wouldn't have wanted to duel him, particularly if he   
   knew Grindelwald had the Elder Wand. And he knew that Grindelwald felt   
   as guilty as he did about Ariana's death. Rita Skeeter said that based   
   on eyewitness accounts of their confrontation, it seemed to be more of   
   a surrender on Grindelwald's end than a duel. I know that taking Rita   
   Skeeter at her word is risky, but I'm willing to believe Dumbledore   
   won this one with only his words.
