Summary

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Tom Riddle, Horcruxes, Lord Voldemort and the properties of Dark Magic. More specifically- we’re going to be discussing the ravaging effects that Horcruxes had on Tom Riddle- both on his appearance and on his soul. What truly prompted him to become ‘Voldemort’? And, what happened to his nose? How did he go from possessing human-features to snake-like features and, eventually, no recognizable features at all?

In the Half-Blood Prince, Harry gasps at what becomes of the once handsome ‘Tom Riddle’- entirely unsure of what he has become:

“Harry let out a hastily stifled gasp. Voldemort had entered the room. His features were not those Harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron almost two years ago: They were not as snake-like, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle. It was as though his features had been burned and blurred; they were waxy and oddly distorted, and the whites of the eyes now had a permanently bloody look, though the pupils were not yet the slits that Harry knew they would become. He was wearing a long black cloak, and his face was as pale as the snow glistening on his shoulders.”

Let’s dive in to the destruction of Voldemort.
