关于伏地魔的性格,命运,
Lord Voldemort (pronounced /ˈvoʊldəmɔr/)[1][2] is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in the Harry Potter novel series written by British author J.K.Rowling.Voldemort first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,which was released in 1997.Voldemort appeared either in person or in flashbacks in each book in the series,except the third,Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.Voldemort has also appeared in all the corresponding film adaptations as of present date,except the third.
In the series,Voldemort is the main enemy of Harry Potter,who according to a prophecy has the power to defeat him.He aims to conquer the wizarding world,which fears him so much that they refuse to refer to him by his name,instead saying "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Even his followers only refer to him as "The Dark Lord".He was born as Tom Marvolo Riddle,and is the last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin,one of the founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Several people have portrayed Voldemort in the films,but the most referenced actor is British actor Ralph Fiennes,who has portrayed him in the film adaptations of the fourth and fifth novels.In a 2006 BigBadRead poll,British school children voted Lord Voldemort their favourite literary villain of all time.[3]
According to a 1999 interview with Rowling,Voldemort was invented as a literary foil for Harry Potter,the main protagonist of the series,and that she intentionally did not flesh out Voldemort's backstory at first."The basic idea...Harry...didn't know he was a wizard … and so then I kind of worked backwards from that position to find out how that could be,that he wouldn't know what he was...When he was one-year-old,the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years attempted to kill him.He killed Harry's parents,and then he tried to kill Harry — he tried to curse him...Harry has to find out,before we find out.And — so — but for some mysterious reason,the curse didn't work on Harry.So he's left with this lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead and the curse rebounded upon the evil wizard,who has been in hiding ever since."[4] She also added that his name is invented and has no real life basis.[5]
In the course of the second book,Rowling established the paradox that Voldemort was a racist who hated non-pure blood wizards,despite being a half-blood himself.In a 2000 interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation,Rowling fleshed Voldemort out as a self-hating bully:"Well I think it is often the case that the biggest bullies take what they know to be their own defects,as they see it,and they put them right on someone else and then they try and destroy the other and that's what Voldemort does."[6]
In the same year,Rowling became more precise about Voldemort.She began to link him to charismatic real-life tyrants,describing him as "a raging psychopath,devoid of the normal human responses to other people's suffering".[7] However,according to statements in 2004,Rowling says that Voldemort is not directly based on any historical character.[8]
In 2006 Rowling established that Voldemort at his core has a very human fear:the fear of death.She said:"Voldemort's fear is death,ignominious death.I mean,he regards death itself as ignominious.He thinks that it's a shameful human weakness,as you know.His worst fear is death."[9]
Throughout the series,Rowling established that the name "Voldemort" is so feared in the Wizarding World that it is considered dangerous even to speak his name.Most characters in the novels refer to him as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" rather than saying his name aloud.In Deathly Hallows,a Taboo is placed upon the name,such that anyone who utters it may be traced by Voldemort or his followers.According to an interview with Rowling,"Voldemort" is pronounced with a silent 't' at the end,as is common in French.[10] This was the pronunciation used by Jim Dale in the first four U.S.audiobooks; however,after the release of the film version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,in which the characters who dared refer to him by name pronounced it with the "t",Dale altered his pronunciation to that in the films.The pronunciation has since been used in the other films as well.
