Voldemort's intelligence was prominent when he created the horcruxes, the way he manipulated people, and how he could tell if somebody was lying or telling the truth just by looking at them. Voldemort created seven horcruxes to hide his soul which has never been done until he did it. Not only was Voldemort smart with his dispersing of his soul, but he also could speak a language known as parseltongue which is an almost certain mark of a dark lord. The other characters that can speak parseltongue are Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Voldemort's strong sense of leadership and dominance in the world led people to follow his every move and made them easy targets to manipulate. He manipulated people to follow his pure blood supremacy group despite …show more content…
Voldemort took control of the Death Eaters by not letting them into his past. If Voldemort's followers knew he was only a half blood it would have been much harder to control such a large group. Some ways he controlled people include fear, this fear stemmed from his brutality. They feared that if they went against him they were as good as dead. Another way he could control people was his instinct for telling if people were lying to him. Voldemort was a legilimens or a person that studies legilimency. This branch of wizardry is the art of mind reading or being able to extract emotions and memories from other people's minds ("Legilimency"). Voldemort's intelligence not only carried him throughout his life but also took him from being an orphan to one of the most powerful wizards in the wizarding …show more content…
His father figured out his wife was a witch when she continued to cast a love potion on him. She stopped casting the spell on him in the hopes that he would continue to love her. However, when the potion wore off he realized how ugly she was and ran away leaving his pregnant wife. When Merope Gaunt, Voldemort's mother, died at childbirth Voldemort was put into a foster home. Throughout his years in the group home he would repeatedly hurt and torture the other kids. One incident that stood out among the others is one day Voldemort took a couple of kids into a cave and the children were never seen again. Voldemort when he was younger had a talent that was not at first explainable. He could effortlessly move stuff and hurt people with his mind and some simple hand movements. It was not until later in his life when Dumbledore came to visit him to tell him about being a wizard and how he was accepted into Hogwarts that his talent was explained. While studying at Hogwarts his hatred for muggles clearly manifested. His hatred for his father grew to such great lengths that he traveled to his fathers house and killed him and all of the other people in that house. With his complete lack of respect for human life lead him to his goals. His first goal was to eliminate all muggles and half blood wizards to create a "pure" world.

Throughout this series, Dumbledore sacrifices himself for the greater good, he faces the ‘devil’ himself, he cares for the well-being of all children, he regales stories and aphorisms, he has a large group of followers, and he forgives easily. An example of some of these are when Dumbledore sacrifices his life for Harry Potter and the wizarding world so that they may once and for all defeat Lord Voldemort, and when he faces off against the ‘devil’, Lord Voldemort, himself in an attempt to save Harry’s life. Another instance of a Christ-figure characteristic that Dumbledore possesses is how he raises and treats all of the children of Hogwarts as his own and expects the very best from and each and every one of them. As well, Dumbledore also regales many stories that inherently tell a tale close to the problems that each student is having. Likewise, he gives many aphorisms such as “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.”, that help to let people know that here is always an upside to every situation. Additionally, Dumbledore has a giant group of followers, way more than twelve unfortunately, that call themselves DA or Dumbledore’s Army. Throughout the last two books they listen to the teachings and instructions of Dumbledore’s and learn the spells that will essentially help them in The Battle of Hogwarts that is forthcoming. Lastly, Dumbledore is full of so much forgiveness because as Draco Malfoy disarms and is about to kill him, he tells Draco that it is okay and he understands why he needs to do
people like the witches and his wife who influenced him, but it was his choice
Voldemort, originally named Tom Riddle, was not born an evil soul, but transformed into one due to his curiosity and exploration of the dark arts. He wanted to discover different ways to become immortal and he found power inside the evils of wizardry. This power overcame him and he became completely evil, looking to control the wizarding world, kill all muggles (non-wizarding humans), and reach immortality. Voldemort was able to find his power inside of evil, and darkness. He believes that he isn’t an evil figure, and that he only unleashed the power within himself, “there is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it.” (Rowling.SS). Voldemort has reached a point where he doesn’t see himself as converting to evil, but just unlocking his inner power, which happens to be evil power. Stevenson’s novel touches upon these aspects of tampering and experimenting with the human identity, especially evil. Those that choose to delve deeper into understanding their darker side, will eventually be encapsulated by that

The important event of him knowing he was a Half-Blood is important because if that did not happen he would think he was crazy. Why? you may ask. Well because of one simple reason. Mist.

For example, If Percy Jackson were to take out riptide
Just to quickly run through the two previous books; Harry Potter is a wizard, who’s parents were killed by the worst dark wizard ever known. The reason why Harry Potter is still around, is because Lord Voldemort failed to kill Harry. His spell hit Harry, but then backfired on Voldemort taking all of his powers with him. Harry is so famous for two things. Withstanding the powers of Lord Voldemort, and, taking him back in to the underworld in hiding. In the first book, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He’s eventually allowed to go, and spends the next six months there learning magic, getting into trouble, and trying to solve mysteries of his past, and the school. In the second book, Harry goes back to his second year at Hogwarts, and gets into more trouble, figures out many astonishing mysteries and learns loads more magic. His best friends in the two books consist of Ron and Hermione (two of his fellow wizard students) and Hagrid the gamekeeper who was expelled from Hogwarts but allowed a job as the gamekeeper.
Adolf Hitler, a very-well respected man who dreamed of conquering the whole world to revenge for all the shame Germany got after World War I and building a ‘Greater Germany’. So, he became the leader of about 90 million people; the Nazi regime. So, how did he earn that much of power to be so authoritative? He knew how to approach people’s heart with his persuasive orations. Furthermore, he knew the good of his people and he knew where to put those people. Plus, he set his goal and he achieved it; for his country. Even though his idea to start the war was very foolish, but looking at how he led his own people, Hitler was an eminently successful leader.

Harry demonstrates this one very well. During the first book, he is going after Voldemort already. He is set on Voldemort so no one else has to die. Harry is only a child yet he is willing to go after one of the most powerful wizards ever. It’s not easy at all and even though there were moments when he wanted to give up, Harry always pulled through.
