Voldemort #1 movie villain of all time
Voldemort #1 movie villain of all time AOL Moviefone has released their list of the top 25 movie villains of all time. Lord Voldemort, played by Ralph Fiennes, came in top of the list with the following description:

"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is the most powerful dark wizard to ever wave a wand, and he schemes to enslave the whole Muggle world. His slithering presence has been minimal in the films so far, but we've all read the books, so we know how much more evil he'll become."

Thanks to everyone who emailed!

Wow! Go Voldemort! Er um, maybe not actually. Boo Voldemort!


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 11th 2008

Course he is! I love hating him :]


Posted by Erfa Jul 11th 2008

That's not really fair. Voldemort is awesome in the books, but the number one MOVIE villain of all time? No way, Darth Vader easily beats Voldemort.


Posted by Anna_Black Jul 11th 2008

Darth Vader?? I agree I guess but Voldie IS very evil! At least he stayed evil all along! ;)


Posted by ilovepadfoot Jul 11th 2008

and voldie's been evil since he was born, you can't get much more evil than that :)


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jul 11th 2008

HMM I'm torn between Voldy and Vader... Well both are good at being bad so i guess they both should suck. lol


Posted by JM_Potter Jul 11th 2008

Voldemort definitly. There was not a hint of goodness in him in the HP series so.. DOWN WITH VOLDEMORT!


Posted by FF_Voldemort Jul 11th 2008

yup i saw this list i should put it in next time lol go voldy


Posted by iizpacked Jul 11th 2008

Vader is indeed evil but Voldemort has to take the number one villian spot because Vader only became evil due to specific heart breaking circumstances. He wanted to stop death to help save his mother. Voldemort never cared about anyone and simply wanted to be the most powerful and invincible being alive. forever.


Posted by Padfoot777 Jul 11th 2008

VOLDY GONE MOLDY!!! Yeah, Vader showed repentance, Tom Riddle, not so much. He spilt his soul that shows how evil he is, he has an army of inferi! His best friend is mental Bella!!He killed inocent women and children, he thought about killing that little boy the night he wanted to kill Liliy and Prongs! He killed Liliy and Prongs! Off topic, the qoute on the side of my screen is "Mr. Padfoot would like to register his asonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor"...funny, I have never seen that one before!


Posted by LindseyBindsey Jul 11th 2008

Yay Voldemort. lol


Posted by Slytherin15 Jul 11th 2008

Voldemort, Voldemort, go Voldy, Voldy, Voldy, Voldemort! Wait...is that a good thing that he's number one villan? Hmm....lol.


Posted by Sirius_Black Jul 11th 2008

Sounds weird saying "go Voldemort" so I will say "go JKR!"


Posted by Itamar Jul 11th 2008

I'm sorry but that just doesn't make sense. Book Voldemort is great but even he would not be number one, and IMO movie Voldemort has been rather a disappointment, never managing to scare me, even though I think Ralph Fiennes is generally a great actor. So yeah Vader should probably get #1 and Voldie would probably be quite far down the list, definitely after such villains as Agent Smith, Gollum, the joker (particularly, it seems, Heath Ledger's version) and probably others.


Posted by hedwigriv Jul 11th 2008

He-who-must-not-be-named is truly a very bad villan! I personally fear Belitrix more! I hate that woman!


Posted by RabidSphinx Jul 11th 2008

That


Posted by bradthewizard Jul 11th 2008

I agree with hedwigriv, bellatrix is way more badass.


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Jul 11th 2008

Voldemort, Voldemort, ooooh Voldy Voldemort!


Posted by RabidSphinx Jul 11th 2008

That's BS. "Of all time"? no way. He should have made the list, sure, but he was hardly in the FILMS, I think people are thinking of the books, which they shouldn't when voting about MOVIES! Vader? Agent Smith? Captain Barbossa? Wicked Witch of the West? The Terminator? Hannibal Lecter? They all got second or worse to dear-ol-voldie who was lectured and eventually defeated by an angsty 17-year-old twit?.... I shiver in my boots! Don


Posted by RabidSphinx Jul 11th 2008

Don't get me wrong, I love HP, but in a world where The Joker from the first Batman film is not as "evil" as the half-ass villain in a children's film, is a world where something is terribly amiss.


Posted by JaySlytherinGirl Jul 11th 2008

YAY FOR VOLDIE!!! he's #1!!! whoohoo, i'm a voldemort fangirl!!!


Posted by the_patronus_seeker Jul 11th 2008

People are thinking of the book voldemort becuase he hasnt been that evil or that much in the movies so congrads to jo for making the #1 villian of all time but WB not so much. But seriously what villian has ever made him self immortal by killing people? GO JO!!


Posted by R_U_Sirius Jul 11th 2008

He may not have had that much screen time but he has been the #1 villian in every book and movie. We've seen him kill, torture, mutilate, and torment.....six (almost) movies and counting. In addition, he has been totally devoid of humanity from birth. I don't know how a HP fan could consider anybody else for the title. He is truly the greatest villian of all time...terrible, but great. I can't believe that somebody finally got one of those stupid lists right and HP fans would actually challenge the results!! Go Riddle, go Voldy, go JKR!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

I knew he would win one of the best villian honor one day, ever since movie four during the good vs. evil battle scene in the middle of the grave yard. Way to go Ralph Fiennes!!! YOU ARE WITH OUT A SECOND THOUGHT, THE LORD VOLDEMORT!!!


Posted by Nagini2 Jul 11th 2008

Voldemort was bad till the end and Darth Vader turned out to have good in him when he talks to Luke in the end. Voldemort is way more evil because until the moment Harry killed him he was just awful. He split himself into seven come on people Voldemort is worse.


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Jul 11th 2008

Yeah ... voldemort is pretty,really,very evil.


Posted by parvati_is_a_goddess Jul 11th 2008

Uh-uh, I mean Sauron was pretty bad, and NO repentance at all...agent of the devil here, also I can't believe its between Voldy and Vader! I agree they're on the list, but Hannibal Lecter should have won! Or they should have waited and made it the Joker, since I'm convinced it'll be him!! :)


Posted by dinky_diddy_kins Jul 11th 2008

I agree with Rabidsphinx, I think most people are thinking of book Voldy when they voted. The movie version just isn't as evil yet. Maybe by movie 7a & b he will be. Hannibal Lecter to me is a much more movie evil charactor so far.


Posted by randomchat Jul 11th 2008

Haha. Love the reference to the books, and not the movies.


Posted by JM_Potter Jul 11th 2008

I think we should all be glad for Voldie, it's the only thing he has and will achieve in his life. Suck on THAT Voldie


Posted by Padfoot777 Jul 11th 2008

JM_Potter, you are absolutely right!


Posted by LumosSolem90 Jul 11th 2008

Yeeey, congrats Voldy. Only award you'll get for your evil! But ok..Ralph plays Voldy really weel sp I guess he...deserves the evil award?


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

I feel sorry for voldy!!! All he knows to be is evil!!!


Posted by matsemann08 Jul 11th 2008

That's stupid. He is the number ONE book villain but not movie, he has hardly been in the movie.... If I worked at Mugglenet i wouldn't even post this, AOL sucks.


Posted by dinky_diddy_kins Jul 11th 2008

He lost to a baby how evil can he be ?


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jul 11th 2008

Of course he is! There is no one more evil then him!


Posted by TheCon Jul 11th 2008

Huzzah for Voldemort! He's one crazy mo'fo!


Posted by hughagrid Jul 11th 2008

YAY VOLDY!!!


Posted by up2nogood Jul 11th 2008

Vader is definitely worse when it comes to a MOVIE series. But oh well.


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

I just visited the AOL website and some of the villains choosen, I agree with. Some of the villains picked I think should have never been picked, but there are two villains that just stood out for me and they are: Agent Smilth 'The Matrix(1999)' played by Hugo Weaving and Hans Gruber 'Die Hard(1988)' played by Alan Rickman!!! NOT ONLY ARE THEY THE BEST VILLAINS AND GREAT TOO AS ACTORS, BUT THEY ARE HOT!!! VERY, VERY, VERY HOT!!!


Posted by up2nogood Jul 11th 2008

Hugo Weaving...hot??


Posted by SlytherinBabe Jul 11th 2008

WHOOOHOOO!!!!! Go Voldy!!! Plz everyone-he is by far the best. Vader used to be good and Hans was bad but not Voldy bad. Im so glad he won YAY!!!!!!! x]


Posted by VampireKisses Jul 11th 2008

I'll tell you who's a villian: WB and David Yates and the screenwriters. You want to know what they did? In HBP Bill gets attacked by Greyback. Obviously, since they're not including Bill and Fleur this wasn't goin to happen. BUT NO! The stupid writers and Yates make Arthur suffer for their misdeeds!!!! So aggravating. With all this nonsense, I'm boycotting the film. Here's a link: http://www.snitchs eeker.com/harry-potter-ne ws/arthur-weasley-attacke d-fenrir-greyback-half-bl ood-prince-57714/


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

Ya!!! Do you have a problem with that???


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

Hay http://www.snitchs eeker.com/harry-potter-ne ws/arthur-weasley-attacke d-fenrir-greyback-half-bl ood-prince-57714/, I just wanted to let you know that the website you typed up doesn't work. Maybe you are one space/letter or number off!!! That one mistakes makes all of a difference!!!


Posted by R_U_Sirius Jul 11th 2008

Hey, Rabidsphinx, I checked the list and don't recall any of the other villians specifically trying to kill a BABY. For all you Book vs. Movie folks...that was in the movies.


Posted by Rose37 Jul 11th 2008

Lord Voldemort tried to kill harry at the young age of one!!!


Posted by hannahpeck Jul 11th 2008

I can't believe that Lord Voldemort was #1. Wow. That is exciting!


Posted by dinky_diddy_kins Jul 11th 2008

http://www.snitchseeker.c om/harry-potter-news/arth ur-weasley-attacked-fenri r-greyback-half-blood-pri nce-57714/ This is the link from up above.


Posted by The_Green_Nargule Jul 11th 2008

VampireKisses- I went to that link, and I would have to agree, this is TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS! How can they decide to leave out2 important characters that play a somewhat major role in "The Deathly Hallows"? I am glad to hear that Voldemort made number one villian, because i love to hate him. Voldie>Vader. (for you math illiterate people it means Voldie is greater than Vader) Voldie would totally win the duel.
