The biggest irony about Voldemort is if he had just joined the Ministry, with all his charm and good looks, he would have snuck right into the position of Minister of Magic and taken over the wizarding world one bit at a time. Instead, he had to be grand and otherly, exceptional beyond all others. Egotism to the core.
@@abdirahmanidris290 Dumbledore wasn't able to remove Fudge from his post, let alone Tom Riddle with good looks and charisma! I think Voldy would have had a good chance using Palpatine's double-game strategy.
so true. if he had used his supporters to gain economic advantage, he could become, with relative easiness, minister of magic and, slowly, erode any influence dumbledore could had. in fact, he could pull a good one and, indirectly, advice Dumbledore to focus on a single position, either as headmaster of hogwarts or as chief of the wizengamot. both deserve somebody that can dedicate his full time to such an important task. this would remove Dumbledore from one of the most influential positions of power. doesn't truly matter which. being able to put one of his supporters on either would be great. let's not forget that Dumbledore was the only one that suspected Tom not being the perfect student. if Dumbledore relinquished his title as headmaster, tom would took control of hogwarts, if Dumbledore relinquishes his position as chief of the wizengamot, nobody would be able to stop voldemort's abusive laws. best of all, with Tom working at the ministry, he would be able to reach any prophecy related to him and work to prevent them from becoming true.
Fun fact : Voldemort literally spent his whole life trying to figure out a way to live forever to die at the age of 71. P.s : Wizards and witches usually have a much longer life than muggles.
@@headstrongbachelor3152 Let me just reframe this sentence for you : Voldemort tried making himself immortal at the age of 16 but failed miserably and died at the age of 71 at the hands of a 17 year old boy who was not even some extraordinary wizard like dumbledore - harry was an ordinary 17 year old boy with immense courage and love in his heart. Even in that short life (for a wizard), voldemort was (in his own words) less than a spirit, less than the meanest ghost and was in pain beyond pain for which nothing could have prepared him for. No one's denying the fact that voldemort was an extraordinary wizard and wanted to conquer death at the cost of anything and everything. Had he choosen the right path he would have lived (which would easily be more than 150 years without using the elixir of life) in the hearts of his own kind even after his death for the good deeds he could have done with his extraordinary wizarding skills and knowledge. He choose the path in which he got nothing but immense hate from his own kind.
@@khushi.goyal005 What the hell are you talking about? Voldemort would live forever if his horcruxes were not destroyed and the only reason he died was because the killing curse backfired on him as the elder wand refused to kill it's true master.
@@headstrongbachelor3152 That's why I am saying. Being immortal means you never die but he did die. Three young wizards destroyed all of his horcruxes and that lead to his ultimate death. And voldemort was killed by his own rebounded spell (it rebounded because harry was invincible against voldemort as the latter used harry's blood for regenerating his own body, making harry invincible against himself and not because of elder wands loyalty), the elder wand changed its loyalty towards harry but that's not the only reason for voldemort dying at the hands of harry. It was voldemort's own foolish act of using harry blood to regenerate his body which kinda acted like a love crux (opposite of a horcrux) for harry (and even if the elder wand hadn't shifted its loyalty towards harry, harry would have survived and voldemort would have died, AND THAT WAS DUMBLEDORE'S ULTIMATE MASTER PLAN). Dumbledore knew that voldy's not aware about the hallows as he (voldy) didn't recognized the resurrection stone in the gaunt ring. But he (dumbledore) knew that voldy will go looking for the elder wand but was unaware that voldy will kill snape to win the wand's allegiance. So dumbledore made a 2D plan. The first to end the powers of the elder wand by dying undefeated (by planning his death with snape) so that even if voldy gets his hands on the elder wand he'll never be able to use it as its power would have died with a dead master. Second being (if the first one didnt worked out) was to make the elder wand loyal to harry by making snape to hand over the sword of griffindore to harry not by will but in a state of war so that the elder wand changes its allegiance from snape to harry without harry knowing it at first as he (dumbledore) wanted him (harry) to acquire the hallows at the right time in the right state and not to overpower death. Dumbledore knew that harrry was invincible against Voldemort even without the elder wand as he (dumbledore) knew that voldy used harry's blood for regenerating his new body. But the plan backfired not on harry but on voldy. Dumbledore was disarmed by draco when he (dumbledore) was protecting harry by casting non verbal full body bind curse on him that means dumbledore was defeated before dying and the elder wand must have changed its alliance towards draco. And in the last combat in the great hall harry told voldy that it comes down to the fact that does the elder wand knows that his last master (draco) was overpowered by harry in the malfoy manor or not. And it seems that the elder wand either knew this that his true master now is harry by overpowering its last master draco or it just changed its allies towards harry due to the fact that it (the elder wand) somehow detected that voldy is not as powerful as harry as voldy had just 1/8th of his soul left at that time.
I think the biggest mistake was making the horcruxes out of distinctive trophy like objects. That was how Dumbledore and Harry found them. Had he just picked 7 random shoes or chairs and then buried them deep underground nobody would ever have found them.
Voldemort should have made 7 different regular boring ass stones into horcruxes. Hidden them at 7 random ass locations in the middle of godforsaken nowhere in a forest beyond a mountain within a creek over a hill and shit. Burried them 23 feet under the ground and not tell a soul. 1 in each different continent in totally random countries. There, now good fucking luck harry potter.
Voldemort led to his own downfall by opening back up the chamber of secrets in the 2nd book because 5 of his own horcruxes were killed by basalisk venom 2 by the fangs of the great serpent and 3 by the sword
Not to mention the fact that the sword didn't even have the ability to damage or even destroy horcruxes originally until Harry killed the basilisk with it. The sword had the ability to absorb the traits whatever coated it so it gained the ability once coated in the venom.
He believed himself superior to Harry and wanted to really defeat him. This was his biggest mistake. He was so arrogant and full of pride that he couldn't bare the thought of someone else killing Harry, and he also couldn't stand the thought of him simply kidnapping and murdering Harry. He wanted to best him, to give him a fair chance of survival but then defeat him which he proved in the fourth book when he refused to just snap Harry's wand and kill him. If he had done this, he would have become the great tyran that he sought to become, but noo he needed to really best Harry, the chosen one. To prove he was bigger, better and more powerful than the boy who was supposed to bring him down once and for all.
Um. You completely left out the biggest mistake of using Harry's blood to resurrect his body in the cemetery. That cemented his fate more than any other mistake.
Voldemort just made the same mistakes over and over again. He never tried to understand the magic he was using or the magic that defeated him the 1st time. He fell for the same ancient magic that tore him from his body when he tried to kill Harry, but on a much bigger scale.
It was explained. Becouse of two greatest flaws of Voldy - pride and arrogance. Precious parts of his great soul had to be hidden in prestigous objects in prestigous (for him) places, and ofc no one is clever enough to figure out his secret and find them 🙃
Wouldn't have mattered the living part inside of Harry could literally Geo-locate them and when he learned how to do it Voldermort was in much trouble and he knew something was wrong. His biggest mistake was not making another Horcrux after his return without anyone else bearing this knowledge. Many say he couldn't but infact he could have and there's more than one way to make one just lessor known. Murder has to be present however we saw him on many occasions doing just that and not considering splitting his last remaining part of his soul one last time. If he had have found out the other ways to do so and done that he'd have been literally unstoppable with no way of ever finding it. That's what i'd have done.
Good video. Another big mistake was allowing his duel with Dumbledore to last long enough for the aurors to arrive. After Dumbledore survived the first attacks he should have retreated. Dumbledore literally told him his plan was to delay him until the aurors came.
The bigger mistake was showing up to the Ministry in the first place. He was supposed to be laying low and he gets the bright idea to appear in the place full of people that are looking for him?
Voldemort's biggest mistake was having Narcissa check to see if Harry was alive, instead of doing it himself, after "killing" him in the Enchanted forest. You'd think having been defeated by Harry before, when the latter was a baby nonetheless, he wouldn't take any chances.
@@Bryan198026 I totally agree with you. Killing like a muggle would be a shame for someone like him. But what if somehow he knew that he would loose his powers if he casted a killing curse on baby Harry ? Wouldn't he put his wizard pride by side just for that moment?
That's a great point about Slughorn that'd I've never considered. Tom Riddle/Voldemort was an expert at covering his tracks so it's a huge oversight on his part to leave Slughorn alive for literal decades
@@kellysouter4381 Slughorn was only safe when protected by Dumbledore at Hogwarts. Voldemort could have attempted to kill him when he was retired albeit on the run. If Dumbledore tracked him down I don’t see how Slughorn could have continued to elude Voldemort.
I read somewhere that Voldemort actually tried to recruit Horace so I guess that’s why he left him alive. Because he deemed the skills of the professor to be actually worth of putting to some use. Slughorn declined but why Voldemort didn’t killed him for refusing it’s beyond me
@@Tophadoodledoo That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that. Slughorns shame and regret would keep him quiet so Voldemort didn't have to worry as much about him
Also. This video, it says that the elder wand possibly failed Voldy because his soul was separated into so many horcruxes... but the elder wand did not serve him because Draco disarmed him. It's like they didn't even read the book. Because when Harry disarms Draco at the Malfoy mansion. The right to use the elder wand passes to Harry.
There is another reason the Elder wand failed him. It's that Voldemort never conquered death. It stated it in the tail of the 3 brothers. Which means, only Harry was ever the true master of the elder wand.
No that just proves how arrogant he was. He believed himself superior to everyone. He didn't just want Harry dead because he was the "chosen one" who was supposed to bring Voldemort down. He wanted to *defeat* him. He wanted to duel him and then win, and in so prove to everyone that he was bigger, better, and more powerful than Harry Potter. If he had just snapped Harry's wand and killed him in the graveyard, he would have been rid of the threat that was Harry, yes, but would he have defeated him? No. He wanted Harry to try, to have a chance of surviving so that Voldemort could best Harry once and for all and become the great Tyran he sought to become. _This_ was his biggest mistake. His pride and arrogance led to his downfall.
5. About the Horcrux after effects, he never cared, in fact he like them. Voldemort was truly obsessed in anything that could detach him from his humanity. But as you said, he despised being a weak, ghost like entity, but it was something he was willing to endure to retain his immortality.
Fulfilling his own prophecy felt like the number 1 slot for me. It's not just that he set it all in motion by going to Godric's Hollow and literally choosing the chosen one, but he then kept coming after Harry, giving him no choice but to fight back.
Basically the Kronos principle as I call, if you want me to tell you why it's called that or why I call it that I'll let you know but the moral is try to change the future hard enough and you will make sure it comes to pass, what Voldemort should have done was use the obliviate spell on Lily and had her think she's married to Snape and Harry is theirs, and have hairy be raised by Snape and a brainwash to Lily, to become his faithful servant.
@@AnonymousEnigma19 Voldemort would still need to eliminate the threat and he's not really known for doing favours for his henchmen. Why is it the Kronos principle? I thought Oedipus was all about self-fulfilling prophecies.
@@Jenifer_R_ I guess you forgot that in exchange for Severus giving him the prophecy asked him to spare Lily, and it's call the Kronos principle because number one Oedipus is known to have a thing for his mother so 🤢👎 and number two the story of the rise and fall of Kronos it's more better because he heard this prophecy from his father after taking him out for the throne, telling him that his child would overthrow him like he did him, so every time he had a child he would swallow them whole, until finally his wife Rhea had enough and save Zeus by having an eagle carry him away and tricking Kronos to swallow a stone, long story short (too late) his son Zeus came back, tricked him into barfing up his siblings, and overthrew him.
@@AnonymousEnigma19 Voldemort may have agreed to spare Lily, but he clearly didn't. I'm not sure if it's on YT, but check out Horrible Histories. They did the Kronos story in the style of Jerry Springer. Super funny.
@@Jenifer_R_ Hey it's just my thoughts on it, but you can't tell me it wouldn't have been a good move on Voldemort's part that at least have Harry raised as a Death Eater, you know what they say the greatest way to defeat an enemy is to befriend them, I heard of many stories on Greek Roman mythology but that Jerry Springer one I'm may give that a look-see.
Let's not forget his number 1 issue ....Pride. he had so much pride he wouldn't listen to anyone' council or ever bother to read a book when returning to full power. This unrighteous pride led to so many errors and misjudgment on his behalf it was incredible.
Making sure Harry’s magical abilities always developed by always waiting for Harry to complete his school year to attack. Worst offence was not setting a trap in book 5 during OWLS that actually mattered to Harry
His obsession on Trelawny's prophesy was his biggest mistake but to always use the killing curse on his "nemesis" is one of the biggest mistakes...its curious as to how Voldemort was able to use the Cruciatus curse & the Imperius curse on Harry as we saw in GOF but not the killing curse...He could have just used Sectumsempra on Harry & could have allowed him to just "bleed to death"...he could have used an Imperius curse on Harry & could have forced him to commit suicide....he could have tortured him with Cruciatus curse into total insanity....he could have fed Harry to a Dementor...hell he could even stick a knife in Harry for cryin out loud...all I am saying is...Moral of the Story is that, you cannot expect a different outcome if you go in battle with the same strategy...u need to innovate to succeed
@Jake Folk Dumbledore and Grindelwald were not only great wizards, but practically artists in terms of their magic...they had class and finesse...while Voldemort only focused on Dark Magic...that's like only 1 branch of Magic out of many others
As I understand it, Tom had already created a horcrux when the conversation with Sloghorn took place. What he really wanted to know was if he could create seven. Wasn't it so?
I think Voldemort’s biggest mistake was all the symbolism around his horcrux objects and hiding places. If they had been mundane items hidden in innocuous places, they would have been nearly impossible for Dumbledor and Harry to track down. Another case of being betrayed by his own arrogance.
@@l.a.williams1879 - Certainly. That why I said nearly impossible. Sure, maybe they could have found them, but instead of a needle in haystack search, he practically drew them a map.
@@hollyhartwick3832 I wholeheartedly agree that he could have more effectively hidden his horcruxes. However, I do think that some credit is deserved, they were well protected to say the least. It was mostly out of luck that Harry didn’t die in Gringotts for example. The potion protecting the locket was powerful enough to almost overcome Dumbledore arguably the most powerful wizard ever.
@@dlucey123 - Definitely. They were well protected. At least he acknowledged the potential vulnerability. I do think, though, he should have been smart enough to realize that all that symbolism would have made them easier to locate in the first place. It’s his arrogance that led him to choose items and places of significance. If they had been commonplace things like goblets or chess pieces and hidden in places that didn’t mean anything, they would have been so much harder to track down. Once found, it was simply a matter of figuring out how to bypass the defenses, but if they’re never found at all, that’s a whole other ball of wax.
Voldemort also underestimated love. Love in HP has magical powers of it's own and is *THE* most powerful force in the world. Lots of people say its cause he was conceived while his father was under the influence of a love potion, thus he is literally incapable of of it, can not emotionally feel love. To b conceived from fake love makes sense to b born without the ability for real ones. I personally think there r those like him but have found ways to cope with it. If he did understand love then I think it wouldn't matter as it can't b used for evil and selfish reasons. Another is what we learn in the book when he meets Grindelwald. Gellert tells him that while he may've pushed the boundaries *WAY FARTHER* then anyone has ever, but in his quest for power, learns about things, Voldemort only take bits and pieces. Going for the beginning and the ending, and dismissing the middle. So that's what, he never took in the *WHOLE* info.
To me, Voldemort’s biggest mistake was making horcruxes out of objects that he had emotional connections to. Eventually, someone would figure out what and where they were. It it was me, I would make the horcruxes out of random objects (rocks, street signs, etc.) and place them in remote places all over the world so no one would ever find them.
By keeping nagini with him during the final battle. He should've sent her away to some other remote country the same way the locket was hidden away. Protected by many magical spells, make it an absolute labyrinth. Another mistake was to keep 2 horcruxes i.e. the diary and the diadem in Hogwarts. It made them the easiest to find. The diary organically via the chamber, and the diadem was practically told to him by the house ghost
Voldemorts biggest mistake, using magic to try to kill Harry over idk a knife..a gun...his bare hands...it's a baby just yeet him out the window in the snow.
Another good video made by you and I thank you for this analysis. 😊 I think I see a recognizable pattern here when I say that all Voldemorts mistakes came down to one thing and one thing only: his arrogance made him refuce to see that even he could be wrong. He didn't know what love is, thus he underestimated its power. And THAT was and will remain his biggest mistake ever.
You actually brought up a good point about Slughorn that I never considered before. In most circumstances, Voldemort would get rid of any loose ends, making it rather unusual that he didn’t kill Slughorn.
@@damnstupidoldidiot8776 Or he assumed that the conversation was so insignificant that Slughorn would not recall it, even though it was actually one of the darkest moments in Slughorn's life.
I would say Voldemort's biggest single mistake was his failure to understand love. Not in terms of becoming a loving person, which was clearly beyond him, but in terms of studying the intellectual aspects of it and gaining great head knowledge of how those who have it are influenced and motivated by it, and what sort of magic flows from it, such as Lily's sacrificing herself out of her love for Harry and putting him under her protection. Voldemort was balked and defeated again and again by his failure to understand and anticipate such things, to the point where he accidentally turned himself into an unknowing form of protection to Harry's life by using Harry's blood in the spell that revived him in an effort to get around the protection of Lily's love.
Not to mention hiding the horcruxes in very significant, predictable items. If he had hid it in a random rock and thrown it into the ocean things would have turned out differently.
One more main mistake is his arrogance and narcisim to use infamous, symbolic, unique and identifiable objects as his horcruxes to send a subconscious message with them. Would he have taken less symbolic objects it would have been way more difficult till nearly impossible to identify and destroy them. A random dark arts book in the hogwarts library, a random object in the Riddle house, a random rock in that cave, a random golden artwork in the Lestrange vault, a random dark arts object in the mess of the room of requirements…
What's ironic enough is that he despiced his Muggle inheritance, but got that arrogance from his Muggle father. And according to his uncle, Voldemort was a carbon copy of Riddle SR. Before his appearance drastic change of course.
He did use the room of requirement! Voldemort was so arrogant he thought only he knew of the room for requirement. When literally centuries worth of students' hidden things are in that room. But I get your point...A random dark object in Borgin and Burkes!
Even if he did things correctly, Voldemort would never be the master of the Elder wand because due to all the soul splitting, his link to magic weakened, and the wand being sentient would find him unappealing, that's why Grindelwald laugh straight to his face, he already knew it from all his research.
His biggest mistake was not having Wormtail just stab Harry through the heart when he had him trapped for ‘blood of the enemy’… Instead of boring Harry to death with his story he could have killed him then and there and have his Death Eaters spread the news… Not that hard 🙄
People keep saying “Why not make the horcruxes something random and leave it somewhere random.” To start as repeated: Dark Magic leaves traces it would of made its presence known 2: I’m pretty sure an object of that magnitude would need to be able to be tracked by the person who created it because if it’s something mundane I’m sure it would be more difficult to keep tract of. 3: The conditions for making horcruxes May be that it must have sentimental value to the creator or it must be a powerful magical item. 4: Regular items deteriorate after a while the horcruxes being destroyed by aging May also harm the creator.
IMO Voldemort simply had 2 major flaws. His arrogance which led him to underestimate Dumbledore and Harry and strenghened his belief that no one would dare to betray him. Narcissa and Snape were able to fool him in consequence too. The second flaw is his need for tyranny which led him to create his band of terrorists which also led to him being targeted by Dumbledore and his premature downfall. If he just created his horcrux(es) and used his looks and skills for manipulation to his advantage then he could have easily become the minister of magic without any (or at least as much) violence. That's also why in many fanfics Dumbledore is way more dangerous than him because he basically ruled magical Europe from Hogwarts while Voldemort was extremely predictable.
Here's an idea for a video: what if snape HAD survived? Would he had tried to make amends? Would he go to prison? Would he take over DADA or go back to Potions?
I wrote a long fan fiction about him and part of why I didn't change his ending was I couldn't see him resuming teaching at all. I don't think it was his passion though he did like using his brain and liked a certain amount of prominence the position got him. I suspected he would have avoided prison given things he did and would have "retired" back to his childhood home working on potions and reading stuff. He might have invented things but to me his viewed his life pos-Lily as a burden and was ready to die.
Voldemort’s biggest mistake was the sheer number of Horicrux he made . Voldemort’s actions had twisted and bent the core laws of magic to such extremes that magic itself was forced to take action in orchestrating his downfall. Let’s see how magic did it. 1: the prophecy itself. 2: convincing Voldemort to target the Potters. 3: compelling Voldemort to try and kill the infant Harry. 4: directly interfering with Voldemort’s attack causing Voldemort to lose his body and Harry receiving a permanent scar. 5: aiding Harry in the defense of the Philosopher’s stone. 6: compelling Lucius Mallory into slipping Voldemort’s diary turned Horicrux into Ginny’s cauldron. 7: sending Harry that vision in the beginning of GoF. 8: Voldemort taking Harry’s blood to resurrect himself. 9: Prior Incanium and sustaining the shades long enough for Harry to escape with Cedric’s body. 10: trick Voldemort into trying to possess Harry in OofP. 11: causing Peter Pettigrew to hesitate to strangle Harry leading to his death (and unintentionally avenging Peter’s victims for his betrayal). 12: blinding Voldemort completely to the realization that he’s being rendered mortal until after 4 have already been destroyed and a 5th stolen. 13: tricked into killing his own soul fragment in Harry Potter instead of Harry himself and actually feeling it. 14: ensuring that the Sword of Gryffindor returned to the Sorting Hat. 15: directly intervenes in the 2nd portions of the Battle of Hogwarts thanks to Harry’s sacrifice ultimately resulting in Voldemort’s demise and end to the threat he posed.
Should have known drinking Unicorn blood in the first film/book caused a cursed life. Technically it was a good thing that he was brought back to a physical form which meant his Horcrux's could be destroyed. But one thing I don't understand is why they kept the book "Secrets of The Darkest Art" in the library. The only book that has the instructions of creating a Horcrux. The most darkest book ever written. Dumbledore removed it, but we don't know what he did with it.
I would say letting Narcissa check on Harry if he's alive after the killing curse was also a mistake. But it shows that Voldemort was afraid of Harry. If he wasn't really afraid, he should've gone there and checked on Harry himself - if he's alive or not. Nagini was there, so he had 1 horcrux left to be safe, if Harry somehow tried something - as well as all of the Death Eaters. I've always considered this move by Voldemort to be a big mistake.
6:47 WAY OFF the prophesy never named Harry at all infact the prophesy stated that the one voldemort chooses as his equal will possess the power so in essence voldemort made the prophesy come to pass by picking an equal. If he chose to go after Neville the books would be called Neville long bottom not Harry Potter lol
5. I think he was just like, "Oh, sweet, immortality hack! Here I go!", though, to be real, do you think he cared about the state of his own soul? Now, if he'd known it would weaken him magically...I wonder if he'd still do it? Voldemort serves Voldemort, but he REALLY messed up when he went for the Elder Wand, because the Elder Wand serves the Elder Wand. It wasn't going to stick around with a comparative magical weakling. 4. I mean, "Do it, or I'll kill you" is pretty convincing, but you're right. Only point I'd quibble on is that his character did remain at least IMILAR to his ormer self's. You can't diagnose from a distance, but I would argue Narcissistic Personality Disorder for this one throughout much of his life, if not from the very moment he became conscious of his own identity. 3. See my above point on this. The Elder Wand is to power like the positive and negative of magnets are to one another :all it seeks is power, and, with a broken soul, how could Voldemort retain power for long? He couldn't have. Heck, if you do the math, Harry had more Voldemort in him than Voldemort had of himself at the end, since he made Nagini a Horcrux AFTER he got his body back, and fractions being what they are, Harry would have a bigger chunk of Voldemort's soul in him than Voldemort would have. Harry had a whole soul with developing magical potential for the Elder Wand to work with, so zing, off it goes. 2. Learn your Greek mythology: if there's a prophecy made about you, DON'T ACT ON IT in any meaningful way. Oedipus, for example, killed a "random dude" in the street, married a "random woman"...and then found out that he'd killed his daddy and married his mama. First of all, maybe don't randomly kill people as you're strolling long? Might be a good first step. Similarly, if Voldemort had wanted to thwart the prophecy, DON'T. DO. ANYTHING. At least not until you're sure you've heard the whole thing, duh. 1. Haha, yeah. I don't like Slughorn all that much--I think he's smarmy--but he was RILLIANT, and instrumental in bringing Voldemort down. First thing you do after getting your body back is Avada Kedavra him if you're smart.
Interesting take on Voldermort - Tom Riddle as a split personality sort of thing. I personally got the vibe that he was always Voldemort and the whole effort to appeal to the disgruntled purebloods and snobs was always just a show put up to pave his way to full control. He never strike me as a person who actually wants to help other people than himself even from the start. The pureblood families were often strong with wealth and connections and their goals aligned enough to trick them into serving him.
In fact I think dark lord has always been deceived since the day he killed james & lilly potter in 1980 and also went to kill little Harry Potter but that is where he did something wrong, where he started making mistakes. Lord voldermort was defeated in that day due to the true love of Harry's mother. Also after coming back many years later, at the end he also had to die forever because he always thought he was superior and despised his enemies considered his unquenchable desire to be immortal.
His biggest mistake was being petty. He could have killed Harry during the Goblet Of Fire but instead he decided to recite a monogue, torture him. and make fun of him instead of killing him quick. The same in Order Of the Phoenix. Even at the end he insisted on being the one to kill the boy and during the battle of Howgwarts he decided to wait for Harry instead of going looking for him just because he wanted to feel the pleassure of humilliating him. He was too petty for his own good.
Voldemort just makes everything way more complicated than it has to be…just kill the child without killing the parents, *skips to fourth book*, just get Barry crouch to prick Harry for blood or just not even use his blood, just disguise yourself and go to ministry (as an unspeakable, the big three did it), hide your horcruxes in mundane things not connected to your childhood or fascinations, and kill slughorn. Voldy doesn’t have any major mistakes in book 7, but literally book seven could’ve happened in book four maybe with different outcome kf Voldemort was smart about his shit
I hadn't noticed until watching this video that the Book from which Volidmort learnt about Horxcruxis (sorry for the spelling). Had a kabbalistic tree of life as a diagram. That's not much good. 😞
Harry couldn't match Voldemort. He was able to resist Voldemort's curses because Voldemort had Harry's own blood running throughout his body. Voldemort turned himself into the one Wizard that could never hurt Harry when he stole the latter's blood.
Voldemorts mistakes he made: come up with looney tune´s plans on world domination. movie 1: why didn´t he take harry´s blood and made the ritual from movie 4 and fkn kill harry. movie 4: why didn´t Barty Crouch sent him to voldemort during a random night? or turn harry´s breakfast waffles into a portkey? movie 5: just fkn kill harry movie 6: why didn´t he just come with the death eaters to hogwarts? movie 7: as soon as he realized, that a hocrux of his is destroyed: why didn´t he get all of them and use the same the same expandable bag as harry and the others to carry them around? why not checking for himself if harry is dead?
Plain and simple if he didn’t rip his soul apart he would still be hot, sorry CHARMING and would have so many people stanning him that he would’ve had enough meat shields to keep himself from getting killed.
He also made the mistake of assuming Gwindlewald would approve of him/ideals only for Gwindlewald to basically laugh in his face and mock him and call him just a wannabe lol.
Voldemort could kill harry in the graveyard. Harry was held by the statue..he could slit his throat. Or have someone else kill harry while harry was unable to move.
Nomber one: when he can't kill harry potter. he want's to kill him any way. and don't let anyone of is death eaters kill harry for him. This action saved harry's lives many times because if oun of the death eaters will kills Harry Potter he could do it even if he neen to kill him two times.
