Lord Voldemort

About

Lord Voldemort, born Tom Marvolo Riddle, is the primary antagonist in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is known for his ruthless and sadistic nature, devoid of empathy or remorse. Voldemort's ambition is to achieve immortality and dominate the wizarding world, believing in the superiority of pure-blood wizards. His backstory reveals a troubled childhood in an orphanage, where he demonstrated early signs of psychopathy and narcissism. Voldemort's quest for power led him to create Horcruxes, objects containing parts of his soul, making him nearly indestructible. His followers, the Death Eaters, aid him in his mission to purge the wizarding world of non-magical heritage. His obsession with Harry Potter, who survived his initial attempt on his life, drives much of the series' plot. Ultimately, Voldemort's downfall is due to his own arrogance and fear of death, which he views as a weakness. His legacy as a symbol of evil is profound, shaping the narrative of the Harry Potter series.
