Hey guys welcome back to another video, lets get right to the point, there was a moment
where voldemort finally realised he was going to lose and then guess what, he lost.
Now I know what you may be thinking, but Dean, Voldemort was cocky, arrogant and overconfident
right up until the very end but was he?
The truth is, despite his arrogance, he was a very intelligent man and was well aware
of when things weren’t exactly going to plan.
In fact Voldemort was sure sure of himself that when his situation did become uncertain,
it would’ve been like a loud red siren flashing in his face.
So before we get to analysing this moment so to speak, lets look at why a situation
like this never happened before and almost didn’t happen this time round either.
Voldemort was an extremely intimidating person.
He never lost, he was never defeated and anyone who came up against him was either beaten
of killed.
Now it was pretty much like this for the majority of his life.
From a very young age he was always in command, in the orphanage he bullied the other kids
and actually done a lot worse.
In his schooling days, he had a gang of followers who basically worshipped him, basically what
I’m trying to say is that if people weren’t supporting him, they were fearing him.
During the First Wizarding War, he was very close to winning, well realistically he had
won, nobody could stop him.
The order of the phoenix had no way to stop him, the order was on it’s last legs, it
was more a case of damage limitation, a case of slowing the dark lord down before accepting
the inevitable.
In fact his unexpected downfall from his attempt to kill harry potter does the Wizarding World
a huge favour.
Anyway, everything voldemort did, every idea he had, every approach he took, worked.
There was also the small fact that he was immortal, could not die, could not be killed.
He charged at every obstacle not just believing he’d be victorious but genuinely knowing
he would and that itself is pretty powerful.
Let’s just apply that to a situation that involves you, yourself.
Have you at any point in life, be in a competition, sport, work anything, have you ever faced
someone or witnessed someones fierce mentality, as if they know they are going to be victorious
before they even start because their skillset backs it up.
It’s quite intimidating.
This is why Voldemort was so frightening, he was undefeated and immortal, can you blame
his arrogance?
Put him up against every single wizard and witch who tried to challenge him being aware
of his power and it’s difficult to argue against the fact it’s gonna affect their
confidence.
Even after his downfall he still didn’t blame himself.
He put his loss of power in 1981 down to old magic, something he says he should have foreseen.
Now the reason he did not force it was because he didn’t pay it much attention.
He didn’t pay it much attention because it was a magic he considered irrelevant as
its such a difficult magic not only to understand but to harness.
So although he was more cautious with his approach on his second stint in power, he
still did not blame himself for what happened that night in 1981, it wasn’t a mistake
on his part.
However what voldemort didn’t have second time round was secrecy.
Nobody knew how to defeat him before but now, Harry Potter could.
What’s more important is the fact that he knew that harry knew about the horcruxes,
he also knew harry was hunting them and that it was harry who had destroyed the other horcruxes.
This means that Harry had the power to strip the dark lord of his immortality and that
my friends, is not good.
It’s at this point that voldemort’s confidence is a bit shaken, and instead of being afraid,
he becomes more aggressive, more animated, more dangerous.
Previously he was hunting harry while trying to take over the ministry, now he deploys
all his forces to find harry, he goes to the school, he threatens death to everyone, times
up.
With all of the other horcruxes destroyed and nagini now uncomfortably living in a magical
bubble in order to protect her, voldmeort knew that he would be mortal once again should
she be destroyed and has to strongly consider her safety.
Now this really pisses him off because he doesn’t consider anyone but himself so the
fact he has to even deploy this measure doesn’t sit well with him.
Bellatrix is then killed which infuriates him and nagini, despite all efforts to keep
her safe, is killed shortly after.
Things are not exactly going to plan.
It’s literally taken this long to kill a boy and by the time voldemort becomes mortal,
he has to take on board that theres a possibility that his life is in danger but he takes comfort
in the fact that he’s a better duelist than Harry and most.
However Voldemort fails to understand that the reason he couldn’t kill harry both times
wasn’t just because of love, it was because of the selflessness both Lily showed for Harry,
and what harry showed for the those fighting with him.
By willingly walking into the arms of death, proven by refusing to raise his wand, harry
does for everyone what his mother done for him, so if Voldmeort tried to harm anyone
in the castle, it would backfire on him, something he was still failing to process.
Even after losing his powers to the magic of love, he still failed to understand it
right up until the end.
He knows magic better than most, he knows the feel of a wand and if it resists him which
brings up the question of the wands loyalty once again.
The wand still didn’t feel right even after killing snape yet he still forced it to his
will, requiring the heaviest of concentration in order command his magic through the elder
wand.
His overconfidence disallowed him to question something he knew did not feel right.
He was in no way confident that his third attempt to kill harry would be successful.
Voldemort never once believed he’d ever be defeated in any manner but when he doubted
the outcome of his final duel with harry, that was the moment he knew he would lose.
So guys that is my take on the moment that voldemort knew he was going to lose, but I
wanna know your take, let me know your thoughts in the comment section below, thank you so
much for watching I really appreciate your support and I will see you
all
in the very next video.
