Voldemort

Voldemort is a fictional character from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. He is the main antagonist, known for his dark magic and quest for immortality. Originally named Tom Riddle, he became a powerful wizard who sought to dominate the wizarding world and eradicate those he considered unworthy, especially Muggle-borns (wizards born to non-magical parents). Voldemort's fear of death led him to create Horcruxes—objects containing fragments of his soul—making him nearly impossible to kill. His character embodies themes of power, prejudice, and the consequences of ambition, serving as a significant symbol of evil in the series.
