Raised as an orphan, the boy known as Tom Riddle lived out his days as an outcast, increasing in power and intellect with each day. Soon he was discovered by Dumbledore and invited to live at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

There, he slowly worked his way up the ranks until he had a following and the status of Prefect. It was in those hallowed halls that Riddle increased his power, influence, and knowledge of magic, including the dark arts.

Through talking (read: sucking up) to Professor Slughorn, Riddle discovered the purpose of Horcruxes and started down a dark and dangerous path. From here, he started his campaign to become the most powerful immortal wizard of all time, taking on the poetic moniker Voldemort. He even went so far as to start a war in an attempt to overthrow the entire wizarding world.

During this time, he heard of a prophecy regarding his downfall and end, which led him to his attempted assassination of baby Harry Potter. Thus, we arrive at the start of Harry's story. Voldemort is one of the most infamous villains of all time, but what do we know about him physically?

He Could Fly Without A Broom

We all know that brooms are one of the best ways to get around for the wizarding community, but Voldemort decided he was too good for that. So convenient! He even taught it to his death eaters to make it easier for them to attack from above.

This makes sense since you don't have to hold on to a broom when in the middle of a battle.
Voldemort Became Ugly Because Of The Dark Arts
via retro daze During his time as a young man, Riddle supposedly has sharp eyes and was considered fairly attractive. However, this all changed as he delved deeper into practicing the dark arts.

This look is not something a charcoal sheet mask will fix, honey. His eyes became sunken and his face slowly began distorting into the ugly reptilian mug we know and hate today. The dark magic actually distorted not only his mind but his body as well.

He Can Use Magic Without A Wand

He And Harry Are Distantly Related
via hacks mods and circuitry The Deathly Hallows are arguably the three most powerful magical objects in the world. The Elder Wand, The Stone Of Resurrection and The Cloak of Invisibility have been woven into legend through tales by Beedle the Bard, but they are indeed real.

It really is a small world after all! The Peverells, Harry's relatives, owned the Cloak while the Gaunts owned the Stone. These two facts heavily imply that, as the original trio of owners were brothers, Harry and Voldemort are distant cousins.

Voldemort Was A Ghost At One Point

Voldemort has scars and wounds all over his body from practicing the dark arts. This led him to become more and more deformed; he became skeletal and pale. His large eyes were blood red and he grew a flat nose with slits for nostrils.

His fingers became spidery and his fingernails turned icy blue. If that doesn't give you nightmares I don't know what will. Honestly, I dare you to look me in the eyes and tell me that you would not freak out if you saw him in your room at night.

Sure, he could possess people, but only if he committed an awful taboo amongst wizards. In order to obtain the power to possess people, Voldemort began to drink unicorn blood.

However, drinking unicorn blood comes with a price; you live a half-life, a cursed life. From the moment Voldemort drank unicorn blood for the first time, he became dependent on it; if he were to ever stop, he would immediately be destroyed.

Voldemort Cannot Touch Harry
via screenrant For most of the books, Voldemort is unable to touch Harry. This is due to the spell that Lily cast before her good-bye that protects Harry from Voldemort through the power of her love.

This blood required the blood of an enemy and, of course, he chose Harry. Having Harry's blood in his veins meant that Voldemort could finally touch Harry and hurt him. Curse those loopholes!

Voldemort Comes From A Family With Weird Traditions
via screenrant Although Voldemort went to a Muggle orphanage, he has a pureblood heritage running through his veins. His mother was a descendant of the Gaunt family, a pureblood line directly related to Salazar Slytherin himself.

The Gaunt family was obsessed with maintaining their pureblood status but went way too far to preserve it. This family had a habit of marrying their cousins to avoid watering down their bloodline.

Voldemort was so advanced that he could rearrange and plant fake memories into victims such as his uncle. Voldemort framed his uncle for the elimination of his father and landed him in Azkaban for life.

This backfired massively and Voldemort's father walked out on them when Voldemort was young. This caused Voldemort to hate his Muggle heritage and do everything in his power to distract others from it.

He endeavored to become immortal and would do anything to achieve his goal. He even went so far as to create Horcruxes; objects with pieces of his soul inside of them. This meant that even if his body was destroyed, his soul would live on.

However, Harry and his crew destroyed each of his Horcruxes one by one before ending Voldemort on May 2nd, 1998. This means that Voldemort was 72 when he finally ended.

He Was Terrified Of Passing On
via screenrant Wanting to be immortal would generally imply a fear of passing on. He saw losing his life as a Muggle weakness and, wanting to be rid of all traces of weakness, sought to evade the end of his life. Voldemort's boggart apparently took the form of his own lifeless body.

He was so afraid that it even leaked into his name; Voldemort means 'flight from death' in French (also you are apparently not supposed to pronounce the 't', which I did not know until now.) It is a good thing for the wizarding world that he did reach the end of things.
He Is Fluent In Parseltongue
via screenrant Among Voldemort's many natural talents, he can also use Parseltongue AKA the ability to talk to snakes.

Due to him having a direct bloodline to Salazar Slytherin, he can converse with snakes and convince them to do his bidding. That's why Voldemort has a snake called Nagini who helps him torture and end victims. Because Harry has a piece of Voldemort's soul in him, he can speak Parseltongue too.

At least there's one upside to being a villainous wizard's Horcrux.

Voldemort managed to narrow his future attacker to two people but did not even consider Neville Longbottom despite his equal stake in his demise. This is because he perceived Harry to be the most dangerous as he was the most similar to Voldemort.

This meant that Voldemort, once in the limbo version of platform 9 3/4, did not have enough soul to pass on to the next plane of existence. Bet it is not what Voldemort had in mind all those years ago.

Instead, he was curled up as a pathetic flayed baby and stuck in that realm forever. This is sad in a way, but could this be a version of immortality?

Voldemort Was Incredible At Transfiguration
via hobby lark Transfiguration is the art of making an object look, feel and sound like something else (remember McGonagall's class where Ron turned his cup into a half-rat? Think better than that.) Just like everything else, it would seem, Voldemort is amazing at Transfiguration as well.

For example, he made Nagini appear to be Bathilda Bagshot for an extended period of time just in case Harry returned to Godric's Hollow. He also transformed Dumbledore's fire-rope into a snake and gave Peter Pettigrew a forearm to replace the one he lost.

Well, most people. Thanks to Harry's cure-all shield of Lily's love, he is protected from Voldemort's control as well. The power of love conquers all in the wizarding world Voldemort gets hurt and is repelled by her love and thus cannot invade his mind that way.

Voldemort can, however, show Harry visions and invade his dreams to convince him to find his prophecy. Somehow those are creepier.
His Similarity To Harry Weakened His Wand

Not only this but 'the wand chooses the wizard', meaning the likelihood of Harry and Voldemort having twin phoenix tail feathers is astronomical. This similarity shows that, at their core, Voldemort and Harry are similar people.

However, this similarity does get Voldemort into trouble as these wands cannot hurt each other or their masters, causing Voldemort to use others' wands when battling Harry.

This skill and knowledge lead him to split his soul into seven pieces total. Nicholas Flamel probably has a few things to say about that.

Harry being a Horcrux was unintentional, but he still counts. Putting your soul into seven Horcruxes is the most of any wizard before Voldemort; some would put Voldemort closest to immortality for a period of time.
