Background
Early Life
- Lord Voldemort was originally born Tom Marvolo Riddle. His mother was Merope Gaunt, a descendent of Salazar Slytherin, who died in childbirth. His father was Tom Riddle Sr, a Muggle, who abandoned Merope after learning she was a witch. Riddle was raised in an orphanage. When he discovered his wizard powers, he used them to abuse the other children. Then, a younger Albus Dumbledore came to take him to Hogwarts. Tom, thinking Dumbledore was a doctor or psychologist there to take him to an asylum, refused to go until Dumbledore demonstrated his power.
Life at Hogwarts
- At Hogwarts, Tom was a good student. During one point, he persuaded then-headmaster Armando Dippet to allow him to stay there. When he was 16, he opened the Chamber of Secrets. The Basilisk inside killed Moaning Myrtle(Whose death he used to make his first horcrux, the Diary which would later take control of Ginny Weasley. He accused Rubeus Hagrid and his pet spider Aragog of killing Myrtle and got him expelled. Riddle got a trophy for "Special Services to the School". Ron Weasley once joked that maybe he got it for killing Myrtle.
The Dark Lord
- After he graduated, Riddle applied for the Defense Aginst the Dark Arts post twice, but was turned down. He visited his mother's old home, where he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt, who said he looked like "the filthy muggle who stole Merope." Tom, now known as lord Voldemort, killed his father and grandparents (which allowed him to make his second Horcrux, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, which was the Ressurection Stone), framed their gardener Frank Bryce, and altered Morfin's memory to convince him he did it. He later assembled a group of followers which included Bellatrix Lestrange, insane cousin of Sirius Black, her husband and brother-in-law Roldophus and Rastaban Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Fenrir Greyback, Peter Pettigrew, Walden Macnair, Severus Snape, Igor Karkaroff, Evan Rosier, Crabbe Sr, Goyle Sr, Avery, Amycus and Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Barty Crouch Jr., Yaxley, Thorfinn Rowle, Regulus Black, Augustus Rookwood, Selwyn, Travers, and Wilkes. Voldemort also made 3 more Horcruxes: Salazar Slytherin's locket, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, and Helga Huffelpuff's cup. Later, after murdering Lily and James Potter, his body was destroyed by their infant son.
He-who-shall-not-be-named's Return
- Voldemort's soul managed to stay alive due to his Horcruxes. He was destroyed when a Killing Curse rebounded off baby Harry, who was rescued by Hagrid But Voldemort was vanquished. Or was he? He hid in a forest in Albania until Professor Quirrell came along. He latched onto the back of Quirrel's head and went back with him to Hogwarts. Voldemort forced Quirrell to drink unicorn blood to strengthen him. He tried to get the Sorcerer's Stone, but was thwarted by the one who caused his downfall: Harry Potter.
One year later, he sensed the destruction of his Diary, so he made his snake Nagini his seventh Horcrux. Two years after that, he got a rudimentary body as part of a plan to resurrect him. One Death Eater, Peter Pettigrew, found him and cut off his hand in a ressurection process.
Notes
- When Lord Voldemort is shown in the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 trailers, he is seen as he is in the Goblet of Fire theme, except now he has a hood.
