I think it's nice that Voldemort always waits until the end of the school year to try and kill Harry. Despite his flaws, Voldemort really cares about Harry’s education, amirite?

What a sweetheart!

Plot twist: Tom Riddle/Voldemort is a protagonist!

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Plot twist: Tom Riddle was actually a spoiled brat who for once didn't get his way and became this evil, noseless, freaky villain.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Plot Twist: Harry wakes up in his cellar realizing that it was just all a dream, and that he is an obese-muggle Asian who doesn't know how to play Scrabble with his cripple step-family. And Voldemort is really just Lindsay Lohan with a botch nose job.

Uhm, you know, except for his first year? When he was attached to the skull of his DATDA teacher and tried to murder Harry? Yeeeahhhh.

But it was the end of the school year.

Actually, it was at the Quidditch match already.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Technically, that was Quirrell trying to kill him. Quirrell was the one reciting the spell or whatever at the match, though he may have been acting in the interest of Voldemort.

Hitler didn't kill jews, he had other people do it for him.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Hitler's wishes were the cause therefor he was the cause. But his followers were the ones who physically did the killing, and out of their own volition. Hitler gave them approval, but they were still the ones physically doing it. Voldemort couldn't have done anything without the support of his followers. They gave him power, by doing his biding.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Exactly. Hitler and Voldemort could wish all they want, but their followers gave them power. If Quirrell hadn't decided for himself that he wanted to kill Harry for his master, Voldemort couldn't have done anything because he was pretty much powerless.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Except Voldemort always gets what he wants. If it wasn't Quirrell, it would have be someone or something else.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

But not Voldemort, because he couldn't do anything. If he wanted Harry dead, he had to have someone else do it. I'm just saying that technically, Quirrell decided and tried to kill Harry. It was in the interest of Voldemort, but physically, it was Quirrell. And that Voldemort was incapable of killing Harry.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Voldemort was literally in his head.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

So? Quirrell still told Harry that he was the one trying to kill him. I'm just saying, except for the end of the first book, we don't know what Voldemort's orders specifically were. And the technically, it was Quirrell, because he was doing it for his own reasons of pleasing Voldemort.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Nevermind. I don't think you get what I mean when I say Voldemort was controlling him and Quirrel wouldn't have done anything if it hadn't been for Voldemort.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I'm just also saying that while Voldemort is culpable, he could have done nothing without Quirrell and that Quirrell attempted to kill Harry because he also wanted to. Quirrel had to let Voldemort inside himself. He chose it, for his own reasons.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

OK.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

And again, both times, the perpetrator was Quirrell. Voldemort was not yet capable of killing Harry by himself.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

So? Voldemort was still trying to kill him. Unless you think that hiring a hitman to do your dirty work is not still considered murder on your part?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well, for all we know, Voldemort didn't specifically tell Quirrell to kill Harry, at least at the quidditch match, though it seemed he did at the end of the book. For all we know Quirrell planned that on his own. And working in the interest of someone is somewhat different. Cos Quirrell wasn't just a hit man, he was Voldemort's follower. Voldemort, at least the first time, could have not directly told Quirrell to commit the murder. Quirrell was working out of his own volition.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Except Voldemorts head was inside of Quirrell, that's why he had to wear that turban. I'm pretty sure if Voldemort didn't want Quirrell to try to kill Harry at the match it wouldn't have happened. Voldemort doesn't let his followers go against his orders.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Im not saying he was going against orders, but Voldemort could have given very unspecific orders. And still, it physically was Quirrell. He told Harry in the books that he was the one trying to kill him, so he was doing it out of his own wishes. It's like if I want to ride a bicycle, and my mom also wants me to ride a bicycle. That's nice and all, but I'm still the one riding the bicycle and doing it because I want to, though she has given her permission.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well yea I understand that, but in accordance to murder, to me it still counts as Voldemort. He was basically brainwashing Quirrell to do it. I guess it's just one of those things where it can be thought of in many different ways.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yeah, it's just to me, if Quirrell or any of Voldemorts followers hadn't have worked for him, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. So to me, Quirrell is most responsible.

I feel like Voldemort didn't really want to kill Harry. Like really how hard is it to do it during the 11 years he knew nothing of magic and had little protection. Like how hard would it would have been to get a Death eater to kidnap Harry and bring him to Voldemort. Then the preforms the ritual thing to bring him back to life and use Harry's blood, all while he's drugged. Then he takes out his wand and kills him with an Avada Kedavra or a gun.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Voldemort was too weak and the Dursley's home was super-protected.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

The point of the ritual was to make him strong, and there was no protection except for that old laddie with o powers, and the protection of Harry living in his moms family's home. The point of the Death Eaters kidnapping Harry was because Voldemort couldn't hurt Harry while he lived in that home.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Voldemort had no body for a decade, and none of his death eaters came looking for him because they thought he was dead. You silly muggle.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

He had plenty of servants, so you'd think it would have been easy to have one of them track Harry down, and shoot him. Plan A: Magic. Plan B: More magic. Because if magic completely backfires the first time, it wont the second time. Magic is foolproof and no other methods are needed. Oh and even though he's the child of prophecy, I don't need any henchmen to come with me just in case. Voldemort was just too cocky.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

If he has a wand, why would he need a gun? He's a wizard, not a crip.
