Should he have won?
>>67547356
Racists tend not to.
You now realize that if anyone had a sniper rifle they could have killed him in an instant and end his "rebellion" right there.
>>67547356
Why didn't he just get his death eaters to shoot Harry in the back with killing curses when he lured Harry into the graveyard or whatever it was? inb4 >muh honor
>>67547836
Giant ego, killing Harry would have been symbolic of his power and a good start to his reign
>>67547655
>inb4 some wiki fan fiction that explains how guns don't work vs magic.
>>67547655
dude has that horcruxes or whatever
gets shot, doesnt die just reforms or whatever
now dealing with an army of pissed of followers who knows hes pratically immortal and want to stay in his good graces
best option would be to carpet bomb their entire camp
take out his army and hes really just a immortal menacing snake man with the ability to torture and kill you on a whim
>>67547836
Because Rowling didn't think it through.
>>67549193
Rowling herself said that a muggle with a gun is more dangerous than a wizard with a wand. Bullets go too fast, the wizard will be dead before he can even realize what's going on.
IIRC she said that if an all-out war started between the Magic world and the Muggle world we would win easily, this is why people with magical powers cloak everything and hide themselves from the general public.
>>67547356
Was there ever an in-universe explanation for why he looked like this? For teh lulz?
>>67549359
His constant murdering messed up his soul so much it disfigured him.
No really.
>>67549287
Batman vs Hogwarts when?
>>67549473
>messed up his soul
well yes, but he didnt just get a muh evil soul, it was split into 8 parts so he looked not so human
>>67549695
punisher kills the harry potter universe you mean
>>67549741
How come he looks like a snake?
What seems logical
>Harry didn't die when Voldemort used AK on him in the forest because the Horcrux was 'in the way' as a sort of "last in, first out" kind of thing.
JK's actual explanation
>Harry didn't die again because Voldemort's new body was made from Harry's blood which had his mother's magical love protection.
HP is usually well-grounded in its own rules, but the 'ancient power of love' stuff is a cop-out. It conveniently doesn't save anyone else
>>67550276
>Voldemort used AK on him
would've been more effective
>>67550276
Yeah it did, Harry's self sacrifice saved tons of people from Voldemort's curses in the final final battle. It's right in the book.
Yes.
>>67547356
DUDE WIZARD NAZIS LMAO
also, is he fucking retarded with the horcruxes?
>>67547356
Overall, I think so.
Voldemort understood the proper core structure of civilization (power), and as such knew that in order to have a more properly organized magical society muggles needed to be subjugated. Voldemort shares structural ideology with the ancient muggles.
I can't remember the idland's name, but in Plato's Republic there lies a situation whereing the Athenians go to war with the Spartans, and the Athenians land on a lesser Greek isle. The island leaders offer an alliance with the Athenians, however the great minds of Athens knew that teaming up with an insignificant bumfuck territory would hurt their credibility and make them seem weak to both friends and enemies, so they occupied them instead.
The only reason to have a moral issue with Voldemort is if you're all-in with modern civilization and fully embrace the general ideological make up that surrounds it (which is fitting, because Rowling is this hugely surface level center-leftist that shills for democracy, refuses to acknowledge a puppet master despite acknowledging seeing strings and wholeheartedly shifts blame to her enemy faction).
>>67549359
Each time he made a horcrux he literally lost some of his humanity, the books show intermediate scenes, before he made his first horcrux he looked normal, then after he made a couple his eyes started to turn red, by the time he applied for a teaching position at Hogwarts he was unnaturally thin, pale and uncanny looking and by the time he'd made 8 he was snakeman
>>67547356
Book voldemort was better
Movie voltehnort was fag
>>67552523
>Book Voldemort gets killed in front of everyone in Great Hall
>Movie Voldy turns into paper and blows away, no one says shit like well done Harry.
>>67547356
It depends.
Does magical prowess scale with pure bloodedness?
When the first magic users came about, were they more powerful than modern witches and wizards?
Voldemort is shown to be a pretty smart guy throughout school. It stands to reason that his beliefs in preserving blood lines and magical purity are actually grounded in some reality. Even if he's doing it forcefully, is he trying to stop the magical world from dying out?
>>67547356
alright, serious question about voldemort you harry potter academics herewhy didn't voldemort put one of the horcruxes in the moon?
>>67552805
Has nothing to do with the purity of blood. Purebloods can be squibs, muggleborns can be rather gifted. If they hadn't breed with muggles they'd have died out.
>>67552849
Wizards don't have a space program
>>67552868
Yeah but we only have a pretty small sample size, I'm speaking generally or over generations.
It just doesn't make much sense with Voldemort's history, that he would be so pro-pure blood without much evidence.
>>67551124
Damn voldemort was just trying to save everyone this world is horrible fuck muggles.
Voldemort didn't really have a clear motivation at all except to not die. This isn't really explained well and it doesn't connect to his other motives, which aren't really fleshed out properly either. Rowling just needed a bad guy for the heroes to fight, but even Grindelwald has a better backstory than Voldemort, at least we understand that he wanted wizards to be free and not live in hiding and die out.
>>67552993
He's not even a pureblood, he was a halfblood.
>>67552993
Voldemort is a disgusting half blood.
>>67552993
The only thing is that most wizards are more likely to have at least one wizard parent. And so purebloods are more likely to be only wizards. Maybe wizardry is a recessive gene or some shit, which would at least explain why wizards are dying out, but I guess it's the idea of preserving the wizard population. it would be a lot clearer if wizards who married muggles didn't always end up having children who could cast spells, but Rowling didn't put in as much thought as the fanbase
>>67547356
No, Grindewald should. Old Grin=True Fuhrer;Vold=british hooligan skinhead.
>>67547356
He got one-shot nearly every fight but he did marry 18 and she's better than both Chi Chi and Bulma will every be so I guess in a way he really did win in the end.
>>67549287
Then why don't wizards just procure guns from human world and wreck their enemies in magic one?
>>67555349
>why aren't there guns in my wizard story
He won where it counts
>>67552673
I'm glad though that they cut Harry's gay speech about how his love is protecting everyone and how Snape wanted to fuck his mom.
>>67549222
The books are overrated, but to be fair, the events in the books felt spontaneous at the very least, unlike the movies where it feels like Voldys plans could have been foiled so many times, and so many deaths could have been avoided with a shred of common sense
>>67555349
It takes place in Bongland.
