But's it's a very intelligent 질문 당신 게시됨 here ! The thread was excellent. As for those that poked fun at you, that means they didn't read HP, which is not an issue per se. Worse, they do not know History and that particular part of our History. That's much 더 많이 serious as they can fall prey to this kind of ideology. To ignore the past and History is a surefire way to condemn oneself to live it again and again...

Jo had also intended to call the 죽음을 먹는 자 the "Knights of Walpurgis", which is an obvious reference to the Night of Walpurgis, which occurs on Beltaine. The Nazis were litterally fascinated 의해 everything 더 많이 또는 less connected to knighthood. The final battle at Hogwarts took place at this moment (May 1st and 2nd).

BTW, Hitler died on Walpurgis night (April 30).


I found this on Mugglenet about the Knights of Walpurgis : "Walpurgis Night (in German folklore) the night of April 30 (May Day's eve), when witches meet on the Brocken mountain and hold revels with the Devil..." (Oxford Phrase & Fable)

Voldemort claimed blood purity but he was himself a half-blood. Some historians say that Hitler would have had Jewish blood.

If one read the HP saga at a deeper level, there are allusions to the similarities between the two. Jo's 책 are great because they show that all this racism is but crap, whatever its name.

I think it they definitely have a lot in common, but not intentionally. I remember 읽기 (sorry, can't cite it!) that Jo said she was shocked when she looked into the Nazi's tactics of persecuting, subjugating, and getting rid of the "inferiors," and in their methods of getting people to go along with it, and found that they were extremely similar to the Death Eaters. She unconsciously wrote the death eaters use the Nazis' methods, something I'm sure was very disturbing to realize. Anyway, Voldemort and Hitler definitely have a great deal in common. My 질문 is - which one is 더 많이 evil?

Edit:
Here's the quote from Jo-
"I saw [Nazi heritage charts] in the Holocaust Museum in Washington when I had already devised the 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' definitions, and was chilled to see that the Nazis used precisely the same warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish grandparent 'polluted' the blood, according to their propaganda."

-It's also interesting to note that in the movies, there are clear references to Nazism and fascism, such as the giant picture of 퍼지 in the ministry, and also the costuming choices for Runcorn and the ministry guards in the seventh movie.

Ugh, after seeing a presentation from a Holocaust victim and going through the museum? I'd say Hitler was way 더 많이 evil.

We feel Hitler was way 더 많이 evil because he was a real man from real history. There's also a 질문 of scale : Nazis killed millions of people, Voldemort only a few hundreds. Which do not remove anything from the uglynes of his acts. Well, I guess that a few hundreds in a small community such as the wizarding community is a great number too, that's true.

There's definitely a big similarity. However, I think Hitler was much 더 많이 charismatic and persuasive. Voldemort ruled mainly through fear, besides his Death Eaters which included maybe forty shown in the books. This is why I don't like him much.

I think that there are a lot of similarities between Hitler and Voldemort's actions, but when it comes to their characters they are quite different.
According to people who have met Hitler 또는 worked for him (one of his secreteries for instance, who's been interviewed many times and been in several documentaries) he was a very average-type person in real life. His manner of speaking was calm and he had a funny accent, and he was usually very polite.
Voldemort has been portrayed as a complete psychopath that even his own followers were afraid of, and who acted very unpredictably. He often did the "dirty work" himself 의해 killing people, most notably Harry's parents and Harry himself. He also seems to live for causing destruction and even though he thrieved for the pure-blood policy, it seemed to be just an excuse to kill and torture people; mainly, to have people fear him. I don't think he ever would've stopped, no matter what sort of an overrule he gained over the world.
Hitler preferred to keep his hands clean and made others do the dirty deeds for him - he was just giving orders and stayed away from the gore. He had personal relationships that weren't linked to his political agenda, most notably with his wife who was 의해 no means a politically active person herself. In his twisted mind he probably truly felt he was doing a favour to the world and that after his dream of the new world was done he could just enjoy his retirement on some 바닷가, 비치 with a lot of blonde Aryan people mixing up cocktails for him.

I would add that Voldemort used the pureblood supremacy to rally as many followers as possible for his rise to power. These followers were rich most of the time. It was power vs. wealth in sort of. An opportunist. He began recruiting in Slytherin because his theories had found a bigger ear there.
LadyNottingham posted over a year ago

I agree, Voldemort started out as an opportunist. I am not sure about the connection between blood purity and welth though. Perhaps a lot of the old pureblood families were also rich, but it seems like his ideology also attracted a lot of the poorer folks, too - possibly because they could compensate their lack of wealth 의해 gaining power. Snape is a good example of this. I've also always thought that Pettigrew didn't come from a wealthy family although I am not sure if its ever mentioned. I think there's old rich families who wanted to keep up the traditions and people who lusted after the power Voldemort represented that were the first ones to 가입하기 him.

No, Voldemort got his death eaters to do the dirty work. He only killed those he felt were a real threat (Harry, Harry's parents, Amelia Bones, etc.)

Yes, Voldemort reminds me of Hitler in the ways 당신 listed and one more. Hitler wanted the "perfect race" which would all have blond hair and blue eyes, when he had neither of those. Voldemort wanted only the pure-bloods to survive, and he was a half-blood himself.

Oh yeah, definately. We're doing Germany 1919-39 in History now, and some of the similatrities are uncanny. It's even thought that Hitler had a Jewish Grandfather, and Voldemort had a Muggle dad. It's quite eerie, really.

Yes!
I think that's the point, the parallels to war. Everything reminded me of the world wars - from Potterwatch, which was exactly like the old British radio stations, to the posters and code names and stuff.
The "follower" thing too - the Nazis and Death Eaters were both very bloodthirsty; and both had propaganda (the swastika as opposed to the Dark Mark, and the fear both of them conjured at the time of the war, in real life and the Wizarding World respectively.)
Voldemort's prejudice and bigotry was certainly a connection to Hitler. But he is portrayed as being completely pyschopathic, whereas Hitler was truly evil but, like someone pointed out, quite average in personality. He detested blood sports and animal cruelty, etc.

It's actually quite sad that Hitler condemned blood sports and animal cruelty but not slaughtering millions of people because of their race. It just shows how twisted his idology was; thinking that even 동물 were 더 많이 important than the people he considered inferior.

Many totalitarian dictators are psychopaths/sociopaths. Oh, BTW I read some time 이전 that most of them had very miserable childhood. It's a well known fact that Stalin and Hitler had been regularly beaten when children. Voldemort had not been beaten but he had grew up in an orphanage without 사랑 (whereas he may have been a child that needed a lot of 사랑 to grow up normally.)

Yes, they are similar, but I've always felt that Voldemort's main goal was immortality rather than pure-blood supremacy. He did not consider his followers, most of whom were elite pure-blood aristocrats, as anything 더 많이 than pawns, but he was very good at instigating the various power games that the Death Eaters kept playing to get in his favor. He was actually a very calm, polite person, but of course this is a mask. He was rather soft-spoken. What Voldemort likes is fear. That's why he doesn't settle for joining the ministry, he WANTS people to fear him. I actually thought Voldemort was worse than Hitler. It's not about the body count. Hitler was real, so he would be worse in that sense, but Voldemort is so far gone and not even human that I personally find it difficult to comprehend how someone could destroy thier humanity to that extent. And he's had these ambitions since childhood.
And Voldemort had way 더 많이 soldiers under his control than a mere 40 death eaters. He had creatures from all around the world recruited with empty promises of happiness and power, and he did his fair share of brainwashing (Bellatrix, Barty Crouch Jr., Quirrell). His command would range over a few thousand perhaps.
