Lord Voldemort (born December 31, 1926) is the fictional arch-villain of the Harry Potter series. He is an evil wizard bent on securing unmatched power and achieving immortality through the practice of Dark Magic.
Voldemort's name means "flight from death" or "theft of death" in French, and J.K. Rowling personally uses a French pronunciation for his name, i.e. Vol-de-mor (with a silent t).
He is so feared by magical people that most refer to him as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" rather than say his name out loud. His followers, the Death Eaters, do not use his name either, but instead refer to him as "the Dark Lord". Voldemort is considered one of the most powerful wizards alive. It has been said that the only wizard he fears is Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
