HBO’s Harry Potter Can Officially Fix a 24-Year-Old Voldemort Problem the Movies Ignored

With the show giving more depth to many characters from the Harry Potter series, fans are eager to see the origins of Lord Voldemort explored. While Voldemort is driven by immense ambition and portrayed as purely evil, it’s important to remember that evil doesn’t appear out of nowhere. It develops from something innocent, and that was true for Tom Riddle Jr. as well. Although Ralph Fiennes brilliantly played Voldemort, the performance sometimes made him seem like a fantastical villain rather than a complex person with a tragic past. Showing the human side of Voldemort is crucial to understanding why he became who he was, even if it doesn’t justify his terrible actions.
