Wizard's name

According to the work of Joanne Rowling it is known that originally the Lord was called Tom Marvolo Reddle. Having rearranged the letters of his real name, he became for all Lord Voldemort. Translated from French, the new name means "the flight of death."

According to the plot of the work, all wizards are so afraid of this character that they do not even dare to say his name. Most often you could hear the words "You-Know-Who", "Dark Lord" instead of the name.

However, there were also those who nevertheless called him by name. This is primarily Harry, Dumbledore, Lupine, Sirius Black, as well as Hermione and Ron. They believed that, without naming him by name, they only maintain fear within themselves. Although in the seventh part, in the name of Voldemort, a spell was actually cast. Those who dared to say it, could be tracked by the Death Eaters.

Appearance of Volan de Mort

According to the description from the books, after his revival, the wizard had pale skin, a crooked face, snake-nostrils and red eyes with snake-like pupils. His body was thin and resembled glass, and his hands and fingers were unnaturally elongated.

In his youth, the appearance of Voldemort is described in such a way that he appears as an attractive man with an aristocratic posture. He had dark eyes, black hair.

This cardinal change in appearance occurred, most likely, because of the creation of a large number of horcruxes. They changed not only his soul, but also the appearance.

On film the appearance of the wizard differs only in the color of the eyes. They have a gray-blue tone with ordinary pupils. Perhaps, the filmmakers tried to draw an analogy with Nazism in the Second World War. So the character is like a representative of a pure Aryan race. Moreover, the actor himself (who plays Volan de Mort) played in his time the Nazi in the "Schindler's List". However, these are only conjectures, which are not officially confirmed. Perhaps this was the vision of the director, with whom you can not argue.

Biography of Volan de Morte

The future wizard was born in the shelter of the Muggles. His mother was a sorceress from the clan of S. Slytherin. The father was a magus and left his mother as soon as she stopped giving him a love potion. She was not beautiful and in desperation did not see the meaning in life. Having given birth to a child, she gave him the name Tom, since the boy's father was called the same way. The second name was Marvolo - in honor of her father-magician. My mother died immediately, and my own father did not even know about his existence.

Tom was brought up in a shelter. He was different from his peers. From the worker of the orphanage it becomes known that as a child he never cried, and later tortured children. He gradually mastered the emerging magical abilities and used them against Muggle peers who feared him. The boy considered himself special.

Professor Dumbledore met Tom at the orphanage when he was eleven years old. He is taken to Hogwarts, where he studied well. He was loved by many teachers, but Dumbledore was not included in this number. In the fifth year of training, Tom becomes the head of Slytherin. At the same time, he finds the way to the Chamber of Secrets and releases the Basilisk. At the end of the course, Tom kills his father and his parents, with whom he lived.

On the sixth course he learns from Slivnort about the action of the Horcruxes. The first of these he created from a diary, which, in addition, became the instruction for the opening of the Secret Chamber.

On the seventh year, Tom had a lot of admirers, he was the best student. Carried away by the dark arts while studying, he disappeared from sight. Gradually, he began to gather around him supporters of the idea of pure blood, which began to call themselves the Death Eaters.

Learning that one day he can be destroyed by a boy named Harry Potter, he decides to kill him first. As a result of this attempt, the mother's love defended the boy, and the Lord's spell rebounded into him, and he became nothing until he was reincarnated. Who plays Volan de Mort after the reincarnation, is already known.

Origin

Despite the fact that the Dark Lord sought to exterminate the half-blood, he himself was also obsessed with muggles. He carefully concealed this fact. Even because of this, he changed his name, which he got from his father-maga.

In the line of wizards, he was a descendant of Cadmus Peverella and had a distant relationship with Harry Potter.

Magical Abilities

According to Dumbledore, Tom demonstrated excellent magical abilities. Even in his childhood, he realized that he can talk with snakes (snake). He could penetrate into someone else's mind, changing memory (Legilimency). With the help of Professor Slughorn, he mastered the ability to create Horcruxes, thus gaining immortality of his own soul.

In addition, the Dark Lord was a great duelist. He could perform spells and counter-spells in seconds. By skill in duels, he was on an equal footing only with Dumbledore.

However, Volan de Mort did not know much. Being brought up not in the family of wizards, he did not know the ancient legends, and the absence of maternal love made him weak in his way. He could not kill the little Harry because of the curse of Love, could not penetrate the thoughts of the boy because of the painful pain that was caused by thoughts of family, love, friendship. In the end, it was destroyed, as stated in the prophecy.
