As the mysteries of the Harry Potter series reveal themselves and the world around Hogwarts continues to expand, it comes with the realization that America’s wizarding academy, Ilvermorny, has its own Voldemort. It’s strange to think that in the Wizarding World, so much of its narrative revolves around Hogwarts, Harry Potter, and Voldemort. While it’s easy to believe that Voldemort’s story began and ended with “The Boy Who Lived,” history explains that there’s more to the dark lord’s legacy, extending further back and into places few knew about. Looking back on “America’s Voldemort,” it calls into question concepts surrounding the importance of family, influence, and how they shaped the modern Wizarding World.Debuting in the 1997 novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), Lord Voldemort served as the primary antagonist throughout the titular boy wizard’s adventures. Orchestrating a hostile takeover of the Wizarding community, concocting nefarious plots involving dark magic that not even the most twisted conjurers would touch with a pair of dragonhide gloves, and making attempts on Harry Potter’s life—while other villains have emerged over the centuries, few have instilled as much fear and reverence as Voldemort himself. With most wizards and witches afraid even to utter his name, there’s a reason why Voldemort is considered one of the most iconic villains in modern literature. To this day, Voldemort’s dark origins remain a subject of morbid curiosity throughout the seven novels and beyond.A family introduced in the novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Tom Riddle (the wizard who later became Lord Voldemort) could trace his lineage to the Gaunts, the famed witch Morrigan, and the Hogwarts founder Salazar Slytherin. Distinguished by their rare ability to communicate with snakes, an overwhelming hatred for muggles, and a disturbing tendency to marry their cousins to protect the purity of their magical blood, to say that the Gaunts weren’t an exemplary wizarding family would be putting it mildly. Among the infamous witches and wizards related to the Gaunts, Gormlaith Gaunt stands out – not only for her dangerous obsession but also for the impact she left on American Wizarding history.
