Why Did Voldemort Want To Teach Dark Arts At Hogwarts 

I wish we could get a series about Voldemort’s time at Hogwarts, that would be fascinating to read .

He taught the dark arts to get more recruits for the death eaters giving him power.

can you do a What if Tom Riddle was given the job of defense against the dark arts?

Dumbledore: Tom, I’ve gone over your proposed curriculum, and I had some questions. Voldemort: Yes? Dumbledore: What exactly is Muggle dissection? Voldemort: I’d say the title is pretty self-explanatory. Dumbledore: 😒 Denied.

After studying Voldemort's Resume, Dumbledore: Tom, your qualifications are outstanding but Im sorry I cannot give you this position. Voldemort: why not Dumbledore(angrily and eyes scarlet) Dumbledore: Have you looked at a mirror lately, the students will probably run away from your classes.

Voldemort - *Pick up your wand Potter! I said pick it up! Get up! Get up!* Harry - *Ridiculous!* Voldemort - *Turning me into Pinocchio is a very cruel joke...*

Why did Voldemort not apply to Durmstrang where he could have actually taught and perfected the dark arts. Not just defence against the dark arts.

Ironically, Tom Riddle would’ve probably been the best DATDA teacher

To be honest if I was Voldemort, I would of done this to teach my views to students and change the system.

Can you do a what if Gilderoy Lockhart stole Harry's wand in the Chamber instead of Ron's broken one. I have never heard that what if but it would detrimental to the story with Ron and Harry going mad, Ginny dead, and Voldemort resurrected then instead of in Goblet. Without access to the diary could Dumbledore figure out the Horecruxes.

I can’t even imagine the students referring to Voldemort as Professor Riddle. Thinking of it, Professor Voldemort just sounds silly.

Didn't Tom already create the name Lord Voldemort at the time he killed Myrtle? The diary knew about the name so he must have chosen it, before he turned the diary into a horcrux

Voldemort as Riddle’s identity absolutely did exist when he was 18. His 16-year-old self from the diary said as much. “I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak.” He knew two years prior exactly who he was. I don’t believe for a second that Riddle at 18 was at all uncertain or angsty. His arrogance was apparent even before he made the first horcrux, when he manipulated Slughorn into teaching him about them.

I don’t know if you’ve already done these but: What if Fred didn’t die? (Or Remus or Tonks) What if dumbledore never put on the ring? Would he still be alive? If Sirius didn’t go to Azkaban? What if James survived? What if James was the one who shielded Harry? If so, what if Lily lived? If Peter haven’t escaped in POA? What if the Dursley’s were nice to Harry? What if Snape and the Marauders got along? What if it was Snape who was the bully and not James and Sirius? What if Draco was nice to Harry? What if Draco was raised by someone else? What if andromeda wasn’t banished from the family? What if Harry had a sibling before his parents died? Would the story be the same if Neville was marked equal to moldy voldy rather than Harry? If Umbridge became a death eater? What if Voldemort’s mom lived? What if Voldemort’s parents lived? What if Voldemort’s dad was also a wizard? What if he was a pure blood? What if Gridlewald and Voldemort joined forces? What if Slughorn wasn’t teaching at the time Tom asked about horcuxes? Would Tom have found a different way? Would he ask other teachers? What if Snape wasn’t killed? Would it change anything? If Draco and Harry were friends? Sorry there’s so many!

You clarified this a million times its because he wanted to raise an army

When is riddle, an animated story coming out?

Hello! Ofc all voldy mold wants is power and being able to have a army of death eaters or at least followers for what he believes should be the magical world, all pure and not with muggleborns being treated the same.

Voldemort didn't have the selflessness needed to be a successful teacher. It was a bit strange, him being in Borgin and Burkes for that long. I wonder why he liked it there so much. It was a dead end sort of position, and he wasn't acquiring more skills there.

Thanks for clarifying the timeline. I was always confused because I had the same impression that Voldemort worked around ten years at BB. But most HP influencers in media say that "Voldemort worked a really short period in BB." Like months or a year. And because of this I felt dumb, or I believed that JK made a big mistake. But it is not the case, the timeline is perfect. - 1945/1946: Tom gets a job at BB. - Around 1953/1954: Tom murders Hepzaibá, resigns from his job and desapairs for around 10 years. - Around 1964: Tom asks Dumbledore for the DADA position (Dumbledore just became headmaster at this point, what makes sense with Lupin saying Dumbledore became headmaster after he received the bite).

Love your videos! They are what have got me through lockdown. Best Harry Potter Channel out there.

also, Thanks for these videos they are AWESOME! I can't wait for the next one!

I LOVE your content, Dean! Thank you for your art! ❤️

I wonder if defense against the dark arts Voldemort would have been more dangerous as a manipulator of students or would have been content to his studies of the dark arts rather than world domination

Amazing video, would love to see a video on book scenes you wish were in the films and how they couldv played out on screen😃

When tom riddle was 38 his most loyal follower bellatrix was like 9 and her parents were also death eater like when she was a child he has so many followers

Ralph Fiennes as a younger Voldemort in a prequel TV series would be phenomenal, I think

A real interesting question is. Had he have been able to attain a position of defense against the dark arts teacher how would he have handled teaching Muggle born wizards and witches because that most certainly would’ve been a thing.

I'm pretty sure that Harry's lessons of DADA was at the antipodes of what Tom Riddle wanted to do: Instead of teaching the Dark Arts in order to raise an army, Harry teached how to defend themselves against the dark arts and raise an army of potent students who knows how to use different spells.

This is a bit off topic, but the brief scene of Newt Scamander brought it to my mind. I find Newt's boggart ironic, given that he used his studies of magical creatures to write a text book, which would have eventually required him to spend hours upon hours sitting at a desk to write. Given his success as a magizoologist, I'd say there's something symbolic about that which we fear/hate being just as important to our success as that which we love.

Ive been watching for years now best hp channel on yt in my opinion

I’ve learned a lot by watching your vids keep up the good work

Idk why but I just had this random video idea and I want to know how Howlers are made. If you could do it that would be great.

Before the video: he was trying to find out more secrets about Hogwarts and objects to turn into Horcruxes.

Your videos are always so amazing! It's like the Harry Potter legacy continues with you. Thank you!

Love this channel...keep making bro more videos❤️❤️❤️

What if Harry Potter had met Severus Snape in the last Underground Chamber instead of Quirinus Quirrell.

They should make a movie on Voldemort and how he came up, and make it kind of so that we root for him in the writing.

I would love to see Voldemorts time in Hogwarts and beyond, with the actor from half blood prince playing him once again, it would be amazing And a darker story of the rise of villain would also be a perfect show

He was searching for a Gryffindor relic after all the discovering he did. That's why he worked at Borgin and Burke's, hoping to find out gossip and rumors about the locations of different magical artifacts.

tittle:Why Did Voldemort Want To Teach Dark Arts At Hogwarts me:CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKKKKK

Good video in showing Tom's differing motives for going after the Defense Against the Dark Arts job the two different times that he applied for it. This shows how he had changed from a young man who wanted to stay in the only place that he had considered to be his home to the man who wanted to use the position to recruit students to fight for his own vision of what the wizarding world should be.

Thank you for another great video.

Don't know how I missed this ,one this, is spectacular.

But...teenage Voldemort said himself that he was already using the name at Hogwarts when he was 16...only to a few "friends", but still.

Voldemort should have bribed them with free Bobux.

Dumbledore : defence against the dark arts Voldemort: defence for the dark arts

Didn’t Tom Riddle create 2 horcruxes? The diary and the ring from his great uncle ?

He probably also wanted to find the sword of gryphondor

It be interesting to see how he’d treat non pure blood students and how it might’ve influenced him. Would he have maybe changed his tone as long as they served him? Would be feel empathy for seeing an orphan half blood like him? Maybe an idea for a fan idea for you or for someone’s fanfiction.

Please, Dean, I still want to know how Tom Riddle found the location of the Chamber of Secrets when he was still at school. Please in the name of God, it would make my day?

how many videos on this are you going to make?

Is that background music from Fable? It sounds a lot like it

these r amazing

Voldemort should've just created an army of basilisks

You forgot the obvious one: He wanted to find godrics sword and the tiara to use as horcruxes. He knew they hid at hogwarts, but he settled with the tiara when he managed to get his hand on it, but still lusted for the sword

If i understand you right, Voldi would may not turned out as that bad, if he got the Job? Interesting thought, never come on that idea. Great Video

Video starts at 2:49

I think that both times he applied so that he could use the position to build an army of students

The dislike was from a death eater

Fudge was convinced that Dumbledore was going to try to mobilize the students to overthrow the ministry . . . that wasn't Dumbledore's plan, it was Voldemort's original (18 year-old) plan.

I want a Prequel Trilogy of Voldemort

You can also watch Fantastic Beasts And The Crimes of Grindelwald on dutch Netflix.

How do you get your money back on surfshark

I've always been curious what things could of been if he was able to acquire the position at the time.

Thank you... Awesome 👍 video... Be safe everyone 😉...

To add to it that he would also have access to the restricted magic books that he would want to learn from

I was already thinking to make more death eaters dark magic 101

Voldemort could have just ignored the prophecy and Harry Potter in the first place. He could have made new horcuxes and run away from Harry. Being immortal, he should have just waited for Potter's death.

hi ... did Voldemort use up one of his horcrux when his avada kadavra rebounded when trying to kill Harry...

A amazing video

Whoa...this one didn't have the usual end plate. Kind of threw me off...

Please make a video on Blaise Zabini

Can you please do a vedio on , what would happen if James or Lily came back life, how would have they affected harry's life ?? 🤩

You’ve done a few videos on Voldemort that have topics that have already been discussed in the book or your channel

Hey can you do one like "If Voldemort chose Neville to be the chosen one instead of Harry"? I think it would be quite interesting! Unless you already done a video on that. Anyways, I really like your theories! :)

Also, isn't it Defense Against the Dark Arts, not Dark Arts?

he would want to use the job to build up his army, but what if he got another subject job ? Like how the subjects skills were used at the battle of Hogwarts . Could Voldemort use that if he tried , lethal potions, teach using mandrakes to kill like with the basilisk, make secret Animagus classes ? that type of magical warfare ?

If Voldemort did get the post, would he treat all his students all the same regardless of magical heritage? I think not.

Can someone explain to me how in the 2nd book/movie when hagrid was getting taken by the minster of magic, dumbledore could see Harry and Ron even though they were under the invisability cloak

He must gave thought that he would have been able to get more death eaters

Im from a other country so I can always look at crime’s of gindelwald on Netflix (Im from the Netherlands so than can you to look it)

Hey, could you please do your next video about Snape, particularly about one thing I’m confused about. What I’m confused about is why Voldemort didn’t kill Snape earlier for being unloyal. Here I’ll go more into this, in book one Snape was constantly suspicious of Quirrel who had Voldemort attaches to his head. Snape constantly was trying to stop Quirrel and Voldemort from killing Harry. So why didn’t Voldemort kill Snape for being unloyal throughout the first book and movie?

Can you do a: what if Voldemort’s mother nether used the love potion on Voldemort’s father. I think that would be very intresting because it might of stopped Voldemort becoming what he was

Well intresting The fact that IF he would get The job at hogwars as deffend and dark arts techer at hogwars and would have luck to still have The job til maruders and lily and snape go out from hogwars

Professor Riddle 😂 that’d be a riot

If they ever made a Harry Potter prequel aboit/based around tom riddle I would totally watch that

It's very different followings 1 the ones who agree with you, who share passions and beliefs Vs 2 the ones who feel threatened, scared, or even see room to exercise their personal vileness

Not really related to this video. But when the deatheaters took olivander from his shop in half blood. Why didn't they take all the wands?

Hey if you haven’t already, could you do a What if Lilly Potter hadn’t sacrificed herself, because I’ve been wondering that lately and what she would turn out to be like and what would be said for the fate of the Wizarding World

HOW COULD THEY THEY CHOOSE FUDGE OVER CROUCH SR?!? IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE WORSE CHOISE!!! (fake cough) Sirius (fake cough) You should do a video on that they should have chosen Barty and what would happen if they did.

I looked up how much hogwarts payed teachers and it said 32000-47000 so i think thats also a reaason

Wat would of happened if he did become a teacher u think he would of still ended up like he did or it would of changed

Well congrats, you're as convincing as Voldemort himself: I joined Surfshark. Now I need to rewatch this video again because I missed about 83% of it. 😉

Q: Why did Voldemort want to teach Dark Arts at Hogwarts? A: So he could get sponsored by SurfShark VPN!

2:48 skips ad

Are we going to ignore that Voldemort looks exactly like Roger and Steve is Harry Potter.

I think if he was hired, he would either raise an army or sabotage the subject to make the wizards poorly prepared. He might have even released the basilisk again. Just my thoughts

You ever noticed how Hogwarts is just Warthogs. Voldemort probably would've changed the name if he became headmaster after teaching DATDA.

Saw the video if Snapes soul split, so I'm wondering when wormtail killed Diggory, did wormtails soul split then. The blood of Harry and all that other shit wormtail did to get Voldemort's new body into play, but Diggory's death shouldn't, because wormtail killed him and so Voldemort won't have another horcruxe and wormtail in theory would make his soul split since he was wanting to kill Diggory and Diggory didn't want to die??? Plz explain? Thanks

Hes already immortal so IF he was accepted as defense against the dark arts...people would figure it out eventually that he is immortal.
