Lord Voldemort

From Metapedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Lord Voldemort aka He Who Must Not Be Named aka Tom Riddle is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling. It is clear from reading the first book that Voldemort is a highly disagreeable character--he murdered Harry Potter's parents and attempted to murder the infant Harry Potter.

[edit] Jewish Perspective

In 2008, Time magazine ran an article highlighting the parallels between Harry Potter and Judaism drawn by some in the Jewish community. In an analogy offensive to Christians, the Jews written about in the article state in no uncertain terms that Jesus Christ is considered tantamount to He Who Must Not Be Named--Lord Voldemort.[1]
