You’d think being He Who Must Not Be Named would be a tough gig, right?
Well, turns out being the Dark Lord is actually quite an easy gig with a helluva lot of down time!
Not only is it enough that You Know Who has his own loyal followers, power reserves that would make a WoW geek sweat with envy, and free reign to use the dreaded unforgivable curses… but also, at the end of every novel, Harry simply heads home for holidays, leaving the magic world and, it would seem, all his Voldie-related problems behind until he returns for the next semesters’ classes…
Which begs the question… What does Voldemort (gasp!) get up to during all this down time?
Cycling.
Birdwatching.
Driving.
Christmas shopping.
Reading to young children.
Singing backup for Rose Tattoo.
Fun Fact: “I am Lord Voldermort” is the phrase you get when you re-arrange the letters from the lyrics to Lady Gaga’s “Lovegames”.
