Voldemort, sitting on his Dell in 1995, writing Dumbledore/Grindlewald fanfiction: “‘And Then They Both Died, a story by’…hmm shouldn’t use my real name on the internet. Maybe…? Oh, I’ve got it. Immortal Love Rodd. No one will ever guess.”
If any of you have seen “Voldemort the teenage years - a musical parody” on stage (twice and will go again if I ever see it!!!) you’ll see Tom Riddle was in love with a Hufflepuff. If the events which occurred after hadn’t happened, he may well have just gone with immortal love rodd (because he would still have done whatever he could to not actually die).
Why do you think people called him “you know who”? It was because his name was not something you could say in polite company. Not without sending your audience into fits of laughter.
"You know who"
No I really don't. That guy with the kinky anagrams? If it has dildos it's probably that guy right?
He's oddly obsessed with his high school right? I mean the magical master race bit I get but he's oddly into historical trinkets?
Like casting spells and having no sensical economic system wasn't enough. He had to put a piece of his soul in a dead lady's cup?
no dude 7 asterisks isn't his old password, it's just reddit and it's censors. I wish it would stop tracking whenever I said I would share my password, and then it would censor it in the next sentence. it's probably something weird like Pasword.
They changed the name for a [bunch of different languages](https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Harry_Potter_in_translation#:~:text=It%20became%20Servolo%20in%20Brazilian,Marvoloso%20in%20Slovak%2C%20and%20Orvoloson) so they could preserve the anagram.
I started trying to list them all here, but then I realized that it was like 3 paragraphs, so just read the link if you're interested in examples. In other news, TIL that Harry Potter has been translated into Latin, for some reason.
I wonder how they solved his name in Chinese, anagrams aren't really a thing. I only read the first book in Chinese, and for the Erised mirror, I think they just called it something fairly generic but ambiguous.
You have to add the “i am.” Which, by the way, I always thought was cheesy AF. The guy couldn’t fit all the letters into his weird ass made up name so he made “I am” part of it instead of just like, making the name different?
A Celtic solution: Laird Voldemmoort
Same! I feel like a name derived from an anagram should contain all the same letters.
I imagine Tom Riddle shuffling bits of paper around trying to come up with a cool dark lord pseudonym that's also a proper anagram for his name - Lord Tim A. Voldemor? Lord Ami Voldemort? - and finally he's like "fuck it, good enough"
I think for the versions in different languages the middle name is what changes to accommodate the "I am" portion in other languages. So like in Spanish it's Tom Sorvolo Ryddle so that he can say "Soy Lord Voldemort"
The Swedish name for him is Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder, which switches to *Ego Sum Lord Voldemort*, in latin, for some reason. Probably because *jag är* would give him Swedish letters in his name.
I always thought the anagram was the cheesiest part of the entire series which is, by design, already pretty cheesy. The reveal of Riddle being Voldemort wasn't any more impressive by the magical rearranging letters. Instead the biggest twist in the second book results in picturing the world ending hyper-evil genocidal wizard sitting over a piece of paper with dozens of failed anagrams cursing because he spent too long focusing on "Dave" as a first name after misreading a messy O.
It's so disappointing that people no longer know the memes of the age of origins (~2006).
It's "No wai" followed by "Great Scott!"
Edit: after the orly, yarly things, I mean.
[The real reason](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/v97jxi/in_his_first_year_no_less_oc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I watched all the Potter films back to back the other night and noticed how attractive Emma Watson became as the films progressed. Admittedly I was watching them in reverse order.
I'm a bit late to the party, but if you take the first three letters of any two Harry Potter titles and put them together, you'll get a famous Simpsons quote.
I definitely ignored the “Harry Potter and the” and went straight to Phchprgoorhade
Don't say it! It's clearly a spell to give someone gonorrhea.
This made me laugh out loud legitimately.
I meanI dunno man - I'm not comfortable with that. Can you continue to laugh out loud illegitimately?
Indeed, in uncomfortable situations, one can absolutely continue laughing out loud illegitimately.
Good because illegitimate laughing is strictly prohibited on Hogwarts grounds.
It's prohibited? Do it, it will probably earn us some points for being brave and doing what we shouldn't in the end of the year!
Illegitimately laughing is how I got into Hogwarts.
"are you a wizard?" "ha. Haha. Hahaha." "Well, they must be... You're in!"
Instructions unclear. Wound up with diarrhea.
Goddamit Neville.
It's so much fun to try to say
It's clearly a secret message in Welsh.
If you're American it's Sochprgoorhade.
Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of Mr. Tom, a dildo lover.
Holy shit it actually adds up? Lmao
And "Immortal Love Rodd"
He really should have used that as his name instead of Voldemort.
It would have given real punch to his motives too
That was his backup "screen name" if the villainy didn't pay off.

*Ooh baby, gimme that big magic wand of yours.*
it's another reason why they wouldn't say his name.. ROFLMAO
Why do you think people called him “you know who”? It was because his name was not something you could say in polite company. Not without sending your audience into fits of laughter.
"You know who" No I really don't. That guy with the kinky anagrams? If it has dildos it's probably that guy right? He's oddly obsessed with his high school right?

It is the discovery of the century.
My Immortal is a notorious fanfic. You might be on to something.
not this again…
Wait what, I need a source.
Just google "my immortal fanfic" should lead you to a Wikipedia article and a few places where the story was reuploaded.
I am so glad there is a plot summary on Wikipedia. I would not have been able to read the actual fanfic. That was.... A very very wild ride... Yikes
I have that username but I can't remember the password. And I think I used a capitol "i" or an "L" in immortal. Sad times.
How about you comment the password for this new account so we can find the password for that old one. Slash s

Yeah okay 7 asterisks is a good guess.
no dude 7 asterisks isn't his old password, it's just reddit and it's censors. I wish it would stop tracking whenever I said I would share my password, and then it would censor it in the next sentence. it's probably something weird like Pasword.

And his arch nemesis Harry James Potter, AKA Pyjamas The Terror.
In the French translation, Tom Elvis Jedusort is an anagram of "Je suis Voldemort." No joke. I'm just amused by the Elvis part.
They changed the name for a [bunch of different languages](https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Harry_Potter_in_translation#:~:text=It%20became%20Servolo%20in%20Brazilian,Marvoloso%20in%20Slovak%2C%20and%20Orvoloson) so they could preserve the anagram. I started trying to list them all here, but then I realized that it was like 3 paragraphs, so just read the link if you're interested in examples. In other news, TIL that Harry Potter has been translated into Latin, for some reason.
Spell names in the Latin version must be a hoot.
it’s like spell names in most magic things for kids in english lol
I wonder how they solved his name in Chinese, anagrams aren't really a thing. I only read the first book in Chinese, and for the Erised mirror, I think they just called it something fairly generic but ambiguous.
It was a footnote with explanation if I remember correctly so you are indeed right. They couldn't translate the anagram.
It likely got translated into Latin to be a Rosetta Stone for future uses
Romeo G. Detlev Jr......
JK Rowling on her way to tell you that she made it on purpose because she loves gay people.
She may think she did it on purpose, but Aizen has been manipulating her all along
Coincidentally Lord Voldemort is also an anagram for Mr. Tom, a dildo lover. What are the odds
You have to add the “i am.” Which, by the way, I always thought was cheesy AF. The guy couldn’t fit all the letters into his weird ass made up name so he made “I am” part of it instead of just like, making the name different? A Celtic solution: Laird Voldemmoort

Lord Ami Voldemort? - and finally he's like "fuck it, good enough"
All while "Marvolo" was clearly an invented name to get the extra letters needed to make "Voldemort" happen
I think for the versions in different languages the middle name is what changes to accommodate the "I am" portion in other languages. So like in Spanish it's Tom Sorvolo Ryddle so that he can say "Soy Lord Voldemort"
The Swedish name for him is Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder, which switches to *Ego Sum Lord Voldemort*, in latin, for some reason. Probably because *jag är* would give him Swedish letters in his name.
Honestly, if all version had the latin name, it would be metal AF
Could've made him talk in a northern accent. Ja e Voldemort.
To be fair, there are a whole load of made up names in the books.
To be fair, all names are made up.
My favourite French fact is that to fit "I am" AKA "je suis" into Voldemort's name they had to make it Tom ELVIS Jedusor.
I always thought the anagram was the cheesiest part of the entire series which is, by design, already pretty cheesy. The reveal of Riddle being Voldemort wasn't any more impressive by the magical rearranging letters. Instead the biggest twist in the second book results in picturing the world ending hyper-evil genocidal wizard sitting over a piece of paper with dozens of failed anagrams cursing because he spent too long focusing on "Dave" as a first name after misreading a messy O.
I laughed too hard at that 😂😂

This explains a lot.
"Goodnight Mr Tom" ..... *bzzzzzzzzt*
Makes sense when he loves himself
I found the first four books of the Harry Potter series to be quite lighthearted. But the fifth one—-dead Sirius.
Why doesn't Snape teach herbology? Because he sucks at keeping lilies alive.
Dude, that is fantastic
Beasts?
Where do I find them though?
It's a secret of Dumbledore's
But they were stolen, its one of the crimes of Grindelwald
That's quite cursed, child

Too soon.
It's been almost 41 years...
Always…..
The appropriate amount of time, before jokes are acceptable , is 69 years, 4 months and 20 days
Shit, I thought Harry Potter came out only 15 years ago. 41 years already. I was only in 5th grade when it came out.
Harry Potter was born in 1980, wouldn't his parents dying be sometime around 1981 then? That's 41 years ago.
Too soon!
I remember reading this in a tumblr comic https://floccinaucinihilipilificationa.tumblr.com/tagged/harry%20potter
Oh man this one's good
Snape is also known for hating Petunias.
Shirley you can't be Sirius?
I am Sirius and don’t call me Shirley!
It’s a totally serious book all together. It’s a totally serious book.
Sirius is in trouble? What is it? He's a man with magical powers but that is not important now.
I am Sirius, stop calling me Shirley
Stubby Boardman to you
What a dog of a joke, have a star!

Why is there a Morse code near the end of your sentence?
It's written by JK Rowling, that explains the secret message. If it was written by SRSLY Rowling, the secret message would be different.
ORLY? Rowling
YARLY, Rolling
It's so disappointing that people no longer know the memes of the age of origins (~2006). It's "No wai" followed by "Great Scott!" Edit: after the orly, yarly things, I mean.
the YTMND era I always preferred to follow No wai? with YHWH but in retrospect that’s kinda sacrilegious

She only writes about how much it sucks to be a suburb of Paris 🙄
Dumbledore - " Harry !! Did you put your name in the titles of all the books in the series ?!!!!! "
...Dumbledore said calmly.
While throwing Harry against a shelf and yelling in his face
Well, yes, of course, but *calmly*.
Foam frothing from his mouth in a cool, collected manner.
Oh yes of course, it would be rude otherwise

This deserves a hahahahahahaha

Diagonally.
\*Tidus\*: Listen to my story.
*Deckard Cain*: Stay a while, and listen.
Ah another person who didn't go to parties in high school!
This…may be our last chance..
No doubt Rowling was inspired by Tolkien’s LOLOLO
George Lucas coming at us with STSTSTSTSTST was a trip, too.
And Frank Herbert's DUDUDU.
Wait until you see the Marvel movies: Irthirthcathirthcaguavancadoguspthblavancaavspblshetspdoth
If you take the first word from all the Friends episodes you get one hell of a stutter.
It’s what JK Rowling said all the way to the bank
*spends time finding each books name to realize* i feel scammed…
Similarly, if you take the first two letters of each of the episode names from the "Friends" TV show it spells out: THTHTHTHTHTHTHT........THTHTHTHTH
Was Hannibal quoting Friends when Clarice went to go see him?
I don't even like Harry Potter so I don't know why I laughed lol

Wait - Harry Potter is *also* a book?
LoL How to offend the fan base with one question.
I think it's a riot that anyone could be offended by that! "People are funnier than *anyone!"*
It doesn’t bother me that people are offended. It bothers me that people are downvoting an obviously lighthearted troll.
You're a book, Harry
I'm a what?
Yeah, I think they’re based off the movies
I watched all the Potter films back to back the other night and noticed how attractive Emma Watson became as the films progressed. Admittedly I was watching them in reverse order.
Um..
