  • Summary

  • Can a villain be a good leader? Not if he’s noseless and narcissistic.

    Welcome back to Critical Magic Theory, where we deconstruct the Wizarding World of Harry Potter—because loving something doesn’t mean we can’t be critical of it. In today’s Prof Responds episode, I’m diving deep into your post-episode thoughts on none other than the noseless wonder himself: Voldemort. Or, as some of us have started calling him… Voldiva.

    We’re unpacking whether Voldemort was actually a good leader (spoiler: no), what his followers really wanted, and how Grindelwald might just be the evil mastermind Voldemort (and the D.E.s) wishes he was. We’re also talking narcissism, cosplay ideology, and what it means when your revolution is really just a glorified social club with masks.

    Plus, I’m tackling your best comments—from snake oil salesman slander to whether Voldemort ever truly believed in his own cause.

    And don’t worry: yes, the Peter Pettigrew survey is still live! If you haven’t filled it out yet, now’s your chance. Don’t let Wormtail down (or maybe do, I don’t know your life).

    Be critical and stay magical.
