Lord Voldemort Character Analysis in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The antagonist of the novel. Voldemort was born Tom Riddle and dedicated his life to the Dark Arts, world domination in the form of a wizard-centric pureblooded society, and the pursuit of immortality. The quest for immortality led Voldemort to create Horcruxes, or objects that house parts of his soul, since he cannot truly die while the Horcruxes exist. Though Voldemort always intended to make seven, he incorrectly believes that he only made six—Harry is the unknown final Horcrux, but having his soul split so many ways means that Voldemort's soul is too fragile for him to recognize this. A person must kill in order to make a Horcrux, and Voldemort in his cruelty has no problem with this. He's known as the most evil wizard in history and kills people for any reason, or no reason at all. He goes about achieving world domination by targeting both Muggles and witches and wizards born to Muggles, as he desperately wants to create a world in which wizards and other Dark creatures, like dementors, reign. Harry knows, however, that this is rooted in a deep desire to belong to the Wizarding world and, specifically, to belong at Hogwarts. This is why Voldemort chose objects that belonged to the four Hogwarts founders to turn into Horcruxes, and it is why he hid the final Horcrux at Hogwarts. Despite Voldemort's competence at Dark magic, he disregards any other kinds of knowledge or magic that he doesn't think are useful or powerful. He thinks that love is silly, though he acknowledges that Lily's sacrifice to save Harry was important, and he abruptly ends his deep dive into wandlore in favor of acquiring the Elder Wand, a powerful wand that he believes will overpower every other kind of magic. This ultimately proves an incorrect assumption, as Voldemort doesn't understand the rules guiding wands' loyalty and can't kill Harry with a wand that Harry is the true master of. Voldemort's final Killing Curse rebounds and kills him because of this.

"Elf magic isn't like wizard's magic, is it?" said Ron. "I mean, they can Apparate and Disapparate in and out of Hogwarts when we can't."

There was silence as Harry digested this. How could Voldemort have made such a mistake? But even as he thought this, Hermione spoke, and her voice was icy.

"Of course, Voldemort would have considered the ways of house-elves far beneath his notice, just like all the purebloods who treat them like animals...It would never have occurred to him that they might have magic that he didn't."

Page Number and Citation: 195

Explanation and Analysis:

Harry, Hermione, and Ron consider that the magic that house-elves have is different from their own, and is what allowed Kreacher to escape from a lake of Inferi (zombies) in the cave where Voldemort kept a Horcrux. This is the reader's first introduction to the fact that if an area of study doesn't interest Voldemort or seem powerful to him, he'll almost always disregard it. Because Voldemort's ideal worldview relies so fully on the idea that wizards and wizards' magic is the most powerful magic, it's unthinkable to him that other beings' magic is capable of performing tasks that wizards' Dolorem et quae.

"Sirius was horrible to Kreacher, Harry, and it's no good looking like that, you know it's true. Kreacher had been alone for a long time when Sirius came to live here, and he was probably starving for a bit of affection. I'm sure 'Miss Cissy' and 'Miss Bella' were perfectly lovely to Kreacher when he turned up, so he did them a favor and told them everything they wanted to know. I've said all along that wizards would pay for how they treat house-elves. Well, Voldemort did...and so did Sirius."

Explanation and Analysis:

After Kreacher's tragic tale of Regulus's death, Hermione tells Harry that house-elves are loyal to people who are kind to them, which Sirius wasn't to Kreacher. This revelation continues to flesh out the novel's insistences that people aren't entirely good or bad, and that a person becomes good or bad because of the choices they make. "Miss Cissy" and "Miss Bella" here refer to Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, two women that, up to this point, Harry has thought of as being entirely evil—and yet, both of them clearly understood that being kind to a house-elf like Kreacher would help Dolorem et quae.

"Attendance is now compulsory for every young witch and wizard," he replied. "That was announced yesterday. It's a change, because it was never obligatory before. [...] This way, Voldemort will have the whole Wizarding population under his eye from a young age."

Explanation and Analysis:

When Lupin visits Grimmauld Place to see the trio, he explains that Voldemort has just made attendance at Hogwarts mandatory for all children who can prove that their parents are wizards. What Voldemort realizes is that by seizing control over the youth population, he's going to be able to carefully control what kind of adults those children grow up to be—and with him in charge, this means that they'll likely learn to be cold and unfeeling like him. With this, Voldemort shows that controlling the education system is one of the most effective ways to control the population at large, Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

Dumbledore had left them to grope in the darkness, to wrestle with unknown and undreamed-of terrors, alone and unaided: nothing was explained, nothing was given freely, they had no sword, and now, Harry had no wand. And he had dropped the photograph of the thief, and it would surely be easy now for Voldemort to find out who he was...Voldemort had all the information now...

Explanation and Analysis:

Following Harry and Hermione's disastrous visit to Godric's Hollow, Harry helplessly feels as though Dumbledore left them in the dark, and that Voldemort now has all the information he needs to accomplish his goals. This sense of being alone is entirely understandable; Harry was suddenly catapulted into an adult role as soon as Dumbledore died months before, and Dumbledore wasn't able to pass on everything that he needed Harry to know before he died. In this moment, Harry feels as though he's entirely lost his community and that he can't even trust his mentor figure to have set things up Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem. Aperiam consequuntur mollitia. Provident expe

And Dumbledore had known that Harry would not duck out, that he would keep going to the end, even though it was his end, because he had taken trouble to get to know him, hadn't he? Dumbledore knew, as Voldemort knew, that Harry would not let anyone else die for him now that he had discovered it was in his power to stop it.

Explanation and Analysis:

Following the revelation that Harry is the final Horcrux and must die, Harry realizes that Dumbledore knew what he was doing and orchestrated everything perfectly as to kill as few people as possible. With this, Harry recognizes that Dumbledore hasn't groomed him to be a victorious hero; instead, Dumbledore spent six years training him to sacrifice himself willingly. Over the years, Dumbledore has made sure to praise Harry for his desire to protect others, a tendency that Harry must engage with fully in order to sacrifice himself to Voldemort. That Harry isn't especially upset about this speaks to the degree Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi.

"And his knowledge remained woefully incomplete, Harry! That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped."

Page Number and Citation: 709-10

Explanation and Analysis:

During Harry's final, dream-like conversation with Dumbledore, Dumbledore makes it clear to Harry that Voldemort lacks important information simply because he arrogantly doesn't believe it's important. With this, the novel makes the case that there's something to learn from almost anything or anyone, whether that be children's stories, like The Tales of Beedle the Bard, or creatures that might seem humble and unassuming, like house-elves. Dumbledore suggests, essentially, that Harry has been successful exactly because he's made the choice to engage with these different sources and ways of knowing, something that Voldemort has neglected to do. While Voldemort seeks brute Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut venia

"So Voldemort, instead of asking himself what quality it was in you that had made your wand so strong, what gift you possessed that he did not, naturally set out to find the one wand that, they said, would beat any other. For him, the Elder Wand has become an obsession to rival his obsession with you. He believes that the Elder Wand removes his last weakness and makes him truly invincible."

Page Number and Citation: 721

Explanation and Analysis:

In Harry's final conversation with Dumbledore, Dumbledore explains how Voldemort dedicated himself to finding an unbeatable wand rather than looking for the knowledge that would tell him how to beat Harry. This, in Dumbledore's understanding, is why Voldemort won't emerge victorious: he believes that he can stomp all over magical theory with a powerful wand, not understanding that the magical theory he so despises governs the way that the Elder Wand works, the same as it governs everything else in the magical world. This shows Harry that if he expects to win, he needs to rely on all of the Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.
