Harry Potter Controversy: Lord Voldemort
built 218 days ago
Some characters in the Harry Potter novels are evil. This is a fact that J. K. Rowling says was intentional. Lord Voldemort is a non-physical “dark magic” that has the ability to make others his slaves by inhabiting their bodies. Rowling said in an interview for Time Magazine, “If you're choosing to write about evil, you really do have a moral obligation to show what it means” (Rowling). If evil was not present in children's literature, then children would have no basis for conception of the sacred. In The Gospel According to Harry Potter, Connie Neal suggests that the evil wizard Voldemort “represents Satan, in a struggle between good and evil that helps young readers make moral decisions” (Pearson).

Harry has special marks from his battle with Lord Voldemort. Harry's power has proven to be the only power that Lord Voldemort cannot handle. In the first chapter of Potter's latest book when the gardener falls dead by Lord Voldemort's powers, the author states, "Two hundred miles away, the boy called Harry Potter woke with a start." (Reprinted from the book, entitled Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.)

This is one of the reasons that Harry names Voldemort when he speaks of him (another reason being that he models himself after his mentor). But no one else calls Voldemort Voldemort, and people are shocked and horrified when the name "Voldemort" crosses Harry's lips.
