I'M GOING TO SAY HIS NAME.
he trademarked name so he gets money every time someone says it
Because Rowling keeps changing how it's pronounced.
I thought she kept changing his skin colour and sexuality.
He will always be white because he's the bad guy
He'll always be white and straight, but she did retcon his name's pronunciation.

>"One piece of Harry Potter trivia I always forget to mention: the "t" is silent in Voldemort, according to @jk_rowling."
Names have magic power, he put a spell on his name so he would know when folks said it -- or anyway that's what people believed.
The whole premise of Voldemort's rise to power and how a whole community became so scared of his murders and his magic death squads, such that his very name became taboo is one of the only cool things about Harrpott. So of course about 0.1% of the material covers this in any detail and its all a boy wonder and his gay pals fight for freedome. rowling is a fuckin hack
He put a spell on the name so he knows when someone says it
the 't' was always silent in any french dubbed movie, I mean "mort" mean death and the t is always silent
it's silly to say "mortttt"
It's a big name.
Because Rowling is a hack.
Wrong.
He did that only in 1997 during the war.
Before that it was just like a jinx or superstition. Ron found out that when you say his name now, it actually does "work" and is like a flare, signalling where you are, because the only people that do use his name "Voldemort" are dissidents and enemies whilst his followers always use "The Dark Lord" or He who must not be named.
MMMM DEH
The wizard government doesn't like to be reminded of their incompetence so they jail anyone who talks about him
If the death eaters kept killing people why didn't they just ban wands?
I'm gonna say it

Why didn't Voldemort just buy a gun and shoot me to spare me from one the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Pseudo immortals using multiple phylacteries are hard to deal with. If you get a smart lich who made a pebble in their driveway into one you have almost zero chance of successfully offing him. So how do you deal? Prevent any attempts to revive him, of course. Kill the body, kill his minions, nullify every enchantment you can, level his castle, burn any unique ingredient like bones from dead relatives, and make sure nobody knows he ever existed. The movies kinda sorta hints that this is what Dumblederp tried but couldn't follow through and instead reinforced Voldemort's immortality by turning him into some kind of boogeyman.
>turning him into some kind of boogeyman.
So his natural enemy is John Wick then?
DEEEEEEHHHHHH
Do you know why the book doesn’t cover name magic? Because it’s a thing in real life as well.
Learn2esotericism bro. Colours are magic too

TURNED MYSELF INTO A PICKLE VOLDEMORTY!!
BOOM! BIG REVEAL IM A PICKLE!
HA- WHAT’D YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!?
okay this is rad
Why didn't they just use that time machine from the 3rd movie to kill him when he was a baby and save billions?
Why didn't Dumbledore just get a time turner and kill baby Voldy?
>If you get a smart lich who made a pebble in their driveway into one you have almost zero chance of successfully offing him.
Except for the protagonist’s convenient ability to hone in on it, because it naturally radiates a powerful aura.
Tell me more about the color magic?

Voldemort translates to Nigger in wizard-slang.
>Choose your own kick-ass evil wizard name to replace your lame muggle name
>Go around with your crew of wizard supremacists torturing muggles and making a name for yourself
>Everyone is now so afraid of you that they don't speak your cool evil wizard name
Being Voldie is suffering
the gongs always cracked me up
OP is blast ended skank

That was movie shit, in the Sixth book Harry accidentally found and touched the Diadem of Ravenclaw when he was hiding the Half Blood Prince's potions book in the room of requirement and didn't realise what it was.
Unfortunately this doesn't prevent a Quirrell situation - a non-follower accidentally coming across his spirit and getting possessed.
