Lord Voldemort

What would you do if you found out that there was someone much more powerful than you? Would you kill him or just leave him alone? The Dark Lord chose the bad choice. Tom Marvolo Riddle was discovered in an orphanage by Albus Dumbledore. Tom was a special kid. He is the  last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. Rowling described Voldemort as "the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years". His main goal in life is to kill Harry Potter. When he first tried to do this when Harry was very young, the Avada Kedvra curse didn't work. Instead it transferred some of Voldemort's powers over into Harry. When he did this, the curse left Harry with a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt and he is known as "The Boy Who Lived". Tom Marvolo Riddle didn't like his name due to the fact that one of his parents was a muggle. So he decided to change his name to Lord Voldemort. In the Chamber of Secrets he reveals by saying " I Am Lord Voldemort" which contains all of the letters used in Tom Marvolo Riddle. Eventually he is killed by Harry and that brings the end to his reign.
