Harry Potter
Lord Voldemort
Voldemort's best idea is the name, and specifically the fact that nobody will say it. A society so frightened of a man that it has agreed to a euphemism is a more efficient way of establishing threat than any amount of on-page violence, and the series makes a running argument out of it — the characters who use the name are the ones who resist him, and refusing to say it is presented as a small daily surrender.
- First appearance
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997), Bloomsbury
- Created by
- J. K. Rowling
- Also known as
- Tom Riddle, He Who Must Not Be Named, The Dark Lord
- Universe
- Wizarding World

Who is Lord Voldemort?
Voldemort's best idea is the name, and specifically the fact that nobody will say it. A society so frightened of a man that it has agreed to a euphemism is a more efficient way of establishing threat than any amount of on-page violence, and the series makes a running argument out of it — the characters who use the name are the ones who resist him, and refusing to say it is presented as a small daily surrender. What he actually wants is not power but not dying, and the mechanism for it requires him to split his own soul into fragments, which the books treat as a self-inflicted mutilation rather than a clever trick. The film design removed his nose digitally from Ralph Fiennes, producing a face that reads as reptilian and incomplete without being obviously prosthetic.

Why Lord Voldemort endures
One of children's literature's most effective villains, built on the idea that a name people refuse to speak is more frightening than anything shown on the page.
What Lord Voldemort looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A pale hairless face without a nose; the Dark Mark — a skull with a serpent tongue
The Dark Mark is the graphic and it is a strong one: a skull with a snake emerging from the mouth, working in a single colour at any size. Green on black is the signature, and the mark functions as a faction emblem rather than a portrait.
The Dark Mark — a skull with a serpent tongue — is a strong single-colour faction emblem that needs no portrait. Green on black is the signature. Works across all size bands.
