I recently came across a clip on YouTube where author Brandon Sanderson and his podcast guest Dan Well were discussing Voldemort’s character.


Aaand things got pretty controversial pretty quickly, as shortly after posing the question, “Is he a good character?”—they both came to the same conclusion: he wasn’t.


Naturally my first inclination was to feel ANGER because HOW DARE THEY insult the main antagonist from the series that I love.


But then I began to wonder….Is he a good character? Or do I just like him because I like the Harry Potter story as a whole?


Is he compelling in his own right? Is he actually interesting?


And..Can a book even be good if a CORE character is bad?


All of this got me really thinking about what makes a good character. Is it depth? Motivation? Backstory? Complexity?


Yes, he’s powerful. Yes, he’s terrifying. But is he relatable? Does he evolve?


So today, I want to dig deeper into whether or not Voldemort is actually a well-written character, or if he’s just been heavily propped up by the strength of the narrative around him.

Snape is more or the center of every thing yet they make Harry and Voldemort look like the main character

I like what you said about Voldemort is not the main cause and character
