What You Need To Know About Lord Voldemort

  • Voldemort's mutilated soul was trapped in limbo (place where Harry met Dumbledore in DH2) forever, unable to move on or return as a ghost.
  • Voldemort couldn't return as a ghost because his soul was damaged after being mutilated into several pieces.
  • Voldemort is actually pronounced as /ˈvoʊldəmɔr/ (with silent t)
  • "Vol de mort" in French means "to flee from death"
  • Rowling did not base Voldemort on any real person.
  • If Voldemort looked into the Mirror of Erised, he would see himself, all-powerful and eternal.
  • Voldemort's boggart was his own corpse or dead body which shows his extreme fear of death.
  • The fact that Voldemort was conceived under a love potion was related to his inability to understand love.
  • JKR has said that everything would have changed if Merope had survived and raised Voldemort herself and cared for him.
  • When Voldemort is seen on the back of Quirrell's head, Ian Hart, who plays Quirrell, does Voldemort's voice.
  • Voldemort went after Harry instead of Neville because he identified with the half-blood boy & decided he must be the greater risk.
  • JKR said that had Ginny Weasley died and Tom Riddle escaped the diary, Voldemort would have become stronger
  • Ralph Fiennes' favourite line in the series is "I can touch you now" from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
  • Harry's scar gives him a magical window into Voldemort's mind.
  • Voldemort is the last surviving descendent of Salazar Slytherin.
  • Voldemort thought that Tom Sr. left Merope because he hated magic, which is the reason Voldemort hated Muggles.

    So you said he chose to chase Harry because he was a half blood but how was he a half blood if both of his parents were wizards? I love your blogs I'm just confused on that point!

    Lily Potter is a Muggle-born witch, so Harry cannot be a pure-blood if his mother isn't one.

    because James is pure-blood and Lily is Muggle-born. so, Harry is half-blood

    "Voldemort went after Harry instead of Neville because he identified with the half-blood boy & decided he must be the greater risk"

    I am not sure what " decided he must be the greater risk " means.

    Voldemort heard the prophecy that a boy would eventually be his down fall and this boy would be born at the end of July. There were two boys born at the end of July. Neville who was pure blood an Harry who was half blood. Voldemort was half blood, he chose the one who was more like himself because he thought that was who the prophecy was talking about

    Despite Voldemort being who he is, I actually felt sorry for him and his mom and even his dad since it was really his fault. I personally thought if you wanted to blame someone you should blame Merope or even Marvolo.

    Marvolo? You mean his grandfather?

    Isn't Harry also an heir of Slytherin? Think about it. Marvolo Gaunt was a descendant from one of the Peverells which also means Voldemort was as well. We also discover that Harry is descendant of the third brother...

      But that doesn't necessarily imply that Harry is blood-related to Slytherin. It just means that Harry and Voldemort have some bizarre ancestral relation through the Peverells.

      But wouldn't the Peverells be descendants from Slytherin, since Tom Riddle Senior couldn't have been? So that would make Harry a descendant too, no matter how distant.

      But it could be the other way round, and Slytherin could have been a descendant from the Peverells, on Voldemort's side...?

      Yeah, it is true that Marvolo Gaunt was a descendant from Cadmus Peverell. And maybe the Slytherins line come from the wife of Cadmus himself. That's what make Harry wasn't one of them and Voldemort was the last descendant of Slytherin.

      ....what? I'm very confused, but Harry's dad is pureblood and all purebloods are related, distantly...

    Muggle + Muggle = Muggle-born

    Pure-Blood + Pure-Blood = Pure-blood

    Pure-Blood + Muggle = Half-Blood

    Pure-Blood + Muggle-Born = Half-Blood

    So Harry consider Half-Blood.

    I have a question, what is Voldy's Petronus?

      The only Death Eaters that have patronus is Severus Snape.

    Voldemort doesn't have a patronus.
