Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort

I agree. Voldemort is quickly thrown down as being evil and just that but he is so rounded and full of depth and mystery that he just cant be ignored.

I am like you with the memorie bits in Dumbledores office - they did become a bit boring at times, though I think tha they helped with understanding tom better

THey showd us that deep down he is a person (or was one). He is pure evil htough and he cant be reddemed. I hope that he dies in the end and that everybody else learns the lesson that good will always beat evil

What was everybody's favorite memory?

It also showed that he was evil before he knew magic as such (with the taking the chidren to the cave and that). I think that is possibly my favourite memory - when Dumbledore first approached him. I think that one memory alone tells us a lot

That was really interesting... It showed us that he knows nothing but cruelity, and he has dont nothing else. If he was doing Dark Magic intentionally at such a young age, that cant be a good thing.

Pure evil with no chance of ever turning around. That is what Voldemort is. He has always been destructful and took joy in hurting others at an early age. I guess it is the Salazar blood in him. Too bad because Merope really didn't seem to bad. She was pushed around by her brother and Father and I think without them in her life she may have turned out OK and then Tom/Voldemort may have been a better person.

I am hoping he will die in the end. Good has to win over evil, otherwise the story will never end.

Beautifully written! BRAVO! lol. I think that that is so true. The 7th book, well actually the whole serie sis all about conquereing good over evil and i think that Nancy has a point saying the story won't be over if Voldy lives. Dont get me rong I was hoping all alon ghe would die, but that just makes more sense, I reason to deny the possible death of Harry.

lol. did that makes sense?

lol yeah, it makes sense. But I think there's more to him just being killed. Like a new twist. I mean, JK wouldn't make it that obvious that he'll die, there has to be more to it.

yea, but its really impossible to figure out isn't it? we dont know hat Jo has thought of and i doubt it will be ordinary, if he does die, as i have mentioned before I think a potion can do it, becasue of the whole wands thing. By the way why did he capture ollivander?

Voldemort's an evil character. I liked how we got an insight into his past, and saw that he had been evil from a young age in book six.

There's no redemption for this character, and those fics where people make him become a 'better person' are pretty silly, in my opinion.*

Voldemort is evil to the core and deserves everything Harry is going to throw at him in book seven.

*(However, I don't mind when Voldemort is openly mocked, for example in the wonderful "This Means War" by Jeconais and "Naked Quidditch Match" by Anya. Mocking is allowed, but serious redemption is not.)

I agree. DO you think he was born evil or decided to become it

But why would he hate them? He didn't know he was any diffrent and we know the was evil before he found out he was a wizard.

He may have hated his father for he left his mother

How would he know that he abandoned his mother, did the orphanage lady say so?

I dislike Voldy alot. He is an impostant character and I can't see how
u can dislike him vbecause everyone else does. I think hes a great
charcter to the story but mean!

I want Voldemort to die in the last book

I truly think that voldemort will die in the next book but I also like his character a lot. Not as a fully grown wizard I think he is awful and horrible but as a boy I felt sorry for him. He felt out of place but yet got please out of causing people pain. This may sound strange but sometimes I understand how he feels I enjoy hurting people who have hurt me. And yet I love the character Tom Riddle but not lord voldemort.

I like the way he died. Because he was offered a saving grace and turned it down. I also like that he was killed when he htought he was in top of the world. It just goes to show that you can never be too sur eof yourself.

If voldie had had some remorse like harry asked, he most likely would have been killed anyway though because like hermione said remorse is the only way to put the soul back together and chances are it's going to kill you.

I don't think Harry ever really thought that Voldy was going tio feel remorse.. I didn't when I read it.. I knew he would refuse.

same, I was just saying that even if he DID feel remorse he probably would have been killed anyway

Yeah defintly... But I was tinking do you think he could feel remorse? It's like asking if he could love. We know he didn't but could he?

I don't think so...I think he's lost all sense of love and his concious has been long gone as well because otherewise he wouldn't have been able to do the things he'd done.

I think Voldemort is the ultimate villain. He has no redeeming qualities at all; he turned his tragic childhood into bitter anger and twisted ideals and feels no remorse, love or grief for anyone. It's actually quite sad to think about. I mean, most villains have at least one or two good qualities hidden somewhere deep down but Tom really turned everything that happened to him as a kid into pure hate and an obsession with becoming immortal and conquering the world at any cost.
