Tom Riddle is the birth name of Lord Voldemort, the primary antagonist of the Harry Potter series. A highly intelligent and ambitious wizard, Riddle displayed a talent for Dark Arts from a young age and quickly rose to power as a follower of Lord Voldemort. After his master’s downfall, Riddle took on the name Lord Voldemort and embarked on a reign of terror, seeking to overthrow the Ministry of Magic and establish a new world order under his rule.
Voldemort’s reign of terror ended with his defeat at the hands of Harry Potter in the Battle of Hogwarts. However, his legacy continues to haunt the wizarding world, as his followers, the Death Eaters, remain active and his Horcruxes, objects that contain fragments of his soul, pose a constant threat.
