Lord Voldemort

Lord Voldemort is a fictional character from the literary saga by author J.K. Rowling and its film adaptation. He is the arch-nemesis of Harry Potter, who, according to prophecy, has the power to defeat him. He is so feared by the magical community that they do not even utter his name, referring to him instead as He Who Must Not Be Named or You-Know-Who. With a difficult childhood in an orphanage after his mother died in childbirth, his deep fear of death leads him to seek immortality through the creation of Horcruxes, magical artifacts that ensure resurrection at a very high cost.
