So Rowling never really discussed why Bellatrix is so obsessed with Voldemort. And I constantly ponder upon how anyone could find that no-nosed snake-man-boy attractive in any way. With that said I wanted to post a few of my theories as well as some of the interesting ones I've seen across the net. Once again, as stated, these are just theories and speculations. No more, no less.
First and foremost I think it's a pretty 안전한, 안전 bet to say that she loves him 또는 at least started to 사랑 him based on the fact that they share similar ideologies. Both loved the idea of pure-blood supremacy. A lot of bonds form from sharing one common ground. But that begs the question; was it her hatred of muggles/muggle borns that had her attracted to Voldemort, 또는 was it Voldemort who instilled these beliefs in her (rather, solidified them seeing as--based on family--she probably already held them).
One theory that I came across is that she was under the imperius curse and no one noticed. Like it made her so frantically devoted to Voldemort that it kind of just slid under the radar. As for the how's I've heard people say that since she died we'd never know; after the war a lot of the Death Eaters avoided punishment 의해 saying that they were under the curse (if I remember right). However there are still holes in that Bellatrix went to Azkaban for 15 years the first time he died. And for that, I don't know if I agree with this one, but it's a neat theory.
Similarly I've seen a handful of people say that she was slipped a 사랑 potion. Again, I don't agree with this one but it's an interesting thought.
I personally am inclined to think that she only loved Tom Riddle and that she doesn't truly care for Voldemort though she wants to. So she kind of forces herself to 사랑 the man-snake Tom became, which is why she comes on so strong. I mean Tom was kind of good looking. Furthermore I like to wonder if perhaps she and Tom were actually 연인들 before he 스플릿, 분할 his soul and completely 로스트 the capability to love. On that line of thinking her trying to make herself 사랑 Voldemort would be even 더 많이 interesting. And (now this is getting a bit far-fetched lol) perhaps it gets 더 많이 complex in that she continued to 사랑 Voldemort in hopes that Tom would resurface--even though deep down she knew Tom was gone, the human and loving part of Voldemort was gone.
Another idea I thought up was that, perhaps he reminds her of someone else she loved & possibly lost. Like she had a childhood 사랑 또는 something of the sort who had departed in some way 또는 another be it death 또는 a simple break up. Bellatrix (though I 사랑 the woman deeply) seems a tad clingy in someways. She's definitely got an obsessive personality. I could see her seeking out someone similar to a first 사랑 and latching on to him, pretending that he is the same person as her old lover.
I've also come across one person offline who believed that Bellatrix loved him because he could offer her protection. This is another one I don't agree with as I feel Bella is way 더 많이 than capable of taking care of herself.
On the other end of the spectrum, painting Bellatrix as the feisty and wild woman she is, maybe it's a rebellion thing. This one also reaches back into Voldy's days as Tom. What if her 사랑 for him comes from her reluctance to marry Rodolphus. Many 팬 (myself included) believe that her marriage to him was arranged and out of pureblood duty. So what if she latched onto Tom as a sort of middle finger to her parents (who I presume were behind the marriage). Bellatrix definitely seems like a woman who doesn't like being told what to do, so infidelity would be the way to go.
At one point I also thought about attachment issues & approval seeking. I've known many people who have had father issues 또는 poor relationships with their parents. A good few of the sought out someone like their fathers in hopes of gaining fatherly approval vicariously through a lover. I have wondered if this was the case for Bellatrix. I mean her family line was pretty messed up and I would imagine (given the time) that her family was very uptight and hard to please. So perhaps Voldemort reminds her of her father and if she gets his love/approval she gets her father's love/approval.
I feel like this could work even without factoring a father in. Perhaps Bellatrix is just starving for approval in general and she's fixated on getting it from Voldemort.
As for attachment issues, if she was poorly attached to her parents it is 더 많이 likely that her future relationships would have ill attachments as well. Similarly to the above, it is possible that an unstable attachment to her parents is responsible for her unhealthy attachment to Voldemort. Since she couldn't get it right with them she'd latch onto Voldemort instead.
That 또는 she had just somehow come to learn damaging attachments without her parents 또는 is obsessive 의해 nature and just latches onto people she has eyes for.
One of my 가장 좋아하는 theories though is probably one of the most out there of them. I've actually seen quite a few people speculate that Bellatrix was a horcrux. These people believe that she is like Harry; a horcrux Voldemort never intended to make. One that he wasn't aware of. And something she herself didn't know she was. What makes this 더 많이 interesting is that she died before Voldemort just as all the other horcruxes so it can't be disputed in that way. In fact people used her death to back up this theory; "Bellatrix's gloating smile froze, her eyes seemed to bulge: for the tiniest 우주 of time she knew what had happened, and then she toppled, and the watching crowd roared, and Voldemort screamed." Voldemort definitely isn't one to scream at the loss of alleys. While it could be a cry of rage because she was such a powerful alley, it clearly was because he 로스트 someone he loved/cared about. Following the thought that he was unaware of Bellatrix being a horcrux perhaps he screamed because he knew something 더 많이 than just Bella had been lost. 또는 it was a cry of pain similar to his feeling of weakness at the loss of his other hocruxes.
But let's say for a moment that he knew Bellatrix was a horcrux; he'd definitely be screaming in rage then! That would also make the fact that he left the Hufflepuff Cup in her care even 더 많이 interesting.
Often times the people who hold this belief seem to use Harry as proof as well; Harry had a connection to Voldemort (for example his parseltongue and his scar hurting when Voldemort was around as well as the visions he got). People have stated that Bellatrix's connection came in the form of her frenzied loyalty and ability to do whatever he said without question. She loves Voldemort because she literally has part of him inside of her. She desired to be his soulmate because she literally was his soulmate.
The 질문 is when would he have made her into one then? When thinking about this theory I like to think that she was one of his first; she was lingering around when he made his first attempt at creating one and because of his inexperience part of her was transferred into her instead of the desired object. When it didn't work he didn't think anything of it and simply tired again. Other people like to think that she became a horcrux later on, that she was a fluke just like Harry.
This is another one that seems very far-fetched to me but I 사랑 thinking about it and it makes for great AU fics.

I admire the concept of magic from my very childhood. When i was 10 years old i came across the first book of harry potter. and soon i fell in 사랑 with the leading character harry. it was not until the age of 12 that i watched the movie. both the book and the movie has applied magic on me and the most exciting psrt of the series is the connection between harry and voldemort. these mind blowing adventurous series has won my 심장 unlike any other book. Its my pleasure to 가입하기 the 팬팝 and show myself as a 팬 of harry potter. this is the first time i have been able to express my viwes on this hilarious book
thank u fanpop
i 사랑 harry potter
thank u fanpop
i 사랑 harry potter
I'll make this short but why did the 영화 do this. In the 책 Padma Patil was a ravenclaw while in the 영화 she was gryfindor.Now just like how Harry's eyes are green in the book and blue in the movie (yes I know Dan cant wear the contacts) but it is , in my opinion ANNOYING! Whats with all these stuff ups?
I mean in deathly hallows part one Harry was himself not barry. I mean WTF? Also in Prisoner of Azkaban in the quidditch match, cedric caught the snitch as Harry fell. But in the 영화 he got struck 의해 lightning.
Obviously someone else in the world thinks that the 영화 stuff ups a little annoying. Does anyone agree/disagree i want to hear. (Please dont be offensive though and have 이전 at my intelligence, its happened before and quite annoying)also I know the 영화 are great so dont think i hate them.

I first thought Harry Potter was really stupid. Then one 일 it was on 디즈니 Channel and there was nothing else to watch so I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. At the end of the movie I was shocked. I LOVED IT!!! I got the whole series of 책 and got 1-5 the 영화 for Christmas. Now I read each book 3 times and probably know every single word for the 영화 1-6. I am so crazy for harry potter that i did this. There was a harry potter and the half blood prince movie showing time at 3:00 a.m.!!!!!! Me and my cousin (18 yrs. old counsin) stayed up till 2:45 in the morning and went to go see harry potter 6 at 3 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so intrested in the movie i didnt even fall asleep. We were the only ones in the movie theatre
