Lord Voldemort Lord Voldemort ( formerly known as Tom Riddle ) is a Minifigure partially introduced in 2001 ( on the back of Professor Quirrell ' s head ) , and introduced as a proper Minifigure in 2005 . Voldemort acts as the main antagonist in the series . Lord Voldemort appears in " The Lego Batman Movie " voiced by Eddie Izzard . Description . The first version of Voldemort was featured on the Professor Quirrell minifigure in 2001 . He had his face printed on the back of Professor Quirrell ' s head , which could be revealed by removing Quirrell ' s turban . This variant of Voldemort ' s face was yellow in colouration , and featured red eyes . The next variation of Voldemort , in 2005 , featured the Dark Lord having his own minifigure . His face was the same as the one on Professor Quirrell ; however , it was was printed on a glow - in - the - dark minifigure head instead of a yellow head . He also featured a gray cloak which was also used with the older variation of the Dementor minifigure . He only had a basic unprinted black body and legs , but his hands were white . His wand was also black in this variation . In his third variation , introduced in 2010 , his minifigure received a big re - design from the previous variations . He now had a new face , on a white minifigure head . He now featured a black cape and also had a printed torso . He even had a new wand which was white instead of black . This variation was acceptably unique to the previous variations of Voldemort and this variation also had a more similar look to Voldemort in the late Harry Potter movies . Background . Early life . Lord Voldemort was originally born Tom Marvolo Riddle . His mother was Merope Gaunt , a descendant of Salazar Slytherin , who died in childbirth . His father was Tom Riddle Sr , a Muggle , who abandoned Merope after learning she was a witch . Riddle was raised in an orphanage . When he discovered his wizard powers , he used them to abuse the other children . Then , a younger Albus Dumbledore came to take him to Hogwarts . Tom , thinking Dumbledore was a doctor or psychologist there to take him to an asylum , refused to go until Dumbledore demonstrated his power . Life at Hogwarts . At Hogwarts , Tom was a good student , and a very skilled wizard with many unique abilities such as parseltongue . All the teachers liked him , especially Professor Slughorn , who told Tom the nature of horcruxes in his later years . During one point , he persuaded then - headmaster Armando Dippet to allow him to stay there . When he was 16 , he opened the Chamber of Secrets . The Basilisk inside killed Moaning Myrtle ( Whose death he used to make his first horcrux , the Diary which would later take control of Ginny Weasley ) . He accused Rubeus Hagrid and his pet spider Aragog of killing Myrtle and got him expelled . Riddle got a trophy for " Special Services to the School " . The Dark Lord ' s First Rise and Fall . After he graduated , Riddle applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post twice , but was turned down . He visited his mother ' s old home , where he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt , who said he looked like " the filthy muggle who stole Merope . " Tom , now known as Lord Voldemort , killed his father and grandparents ( which allowed him to make his second Horcrux , Marvolo Gaunt ' s ring , which was the Resurrection Stone ) , framed their gardener Frank Bryce , and altered Morfin ' s memory to convince him he did it . He later assembled a group of followers which included Bellatrix Lestrange , insane cousin of Sirius Black , her husband and brother - in - law Roldophus and Rastaban Lestrange , Lucius Malfoy , Draco Malfoy , Narcissa Malfoy , Fenrir Greyback , Peter Pettigrew , Walden Macnair , Severus Snape , Igor Karkaroff , Evan Rosier , Crabbe Sr . , Goyle Sr . , Avery Sr . , Avery Jr . , Mulciber Sr . , Mulciber Jr . , Nott Sr . , Amycus and Alecto Carrow , Antonin Dolohov , Barty Crouch Jr . , Yaxley , Thorfinn Rowle , Regulus Black , Professor Umbridge , Augustus Rookwood , Gibbon , Jugson , Selwyn , Travers , and Wilkes . Voldemort also made 3 more Horcruxes : Salazar Slytherin ' s locket , Rowena Ravenclaw ' s diadem , and Helga Hufflepuff ' s cup . On Halloween in 1981 , Peter Pettigrew revealed where the Potters were , Voldemort set off to find them . When he got to their house , James Potter tried to hold off Voldemort so his wife and child could escape but he left his wand in another room and Voldemort killed him with the killing curse . Upstairs he tried to force Lily Potter away so he could kill her son , but she refused to leave and he killed her with the killing curse . Then he cast the killing curse at their infant son Harry , but because his mother sacrificed herself for him it gave him protection , which caused the curse to bounce off Harry ( giving him a scar ) and hit Voldemort , destroying his body , and fused a part of his soul with Harry ' s scar , making him a Horcrux . The Return of Lord Voldemort . Voldemort ' s soul managed to stay alive due to his Horcruxes . After his body was destroyed he fled and hid in a forest in Albania for ten years until Professor Quirrell came along . He latched onto the back of Quirrell ' s head and went back with him to Hogwarts . Voldemort forced Quirrell to drink unicorn blood to strengthen him . He then tried to get the Philosopher ' s Stone , but was thwarted by the one who caused his first downfall : Harry Potter . Riddle hid in the same Albanian Forest for another three years until Peter Pettigrew found him . Later , Voldemort got a rudimentary body as part of a plan to resurrect him . One Death Eater , Peter Pettigrew , found him and cut off his hand , dug up the bones of Tom Riddle Sr . and used Harry Potter ' s blood in the resurrection process of Lord Voldemort . Then once again he tried to kill Harry . But when they started casting spells at each other , they became locked in the priori incantem , and Harry , with the help of some spirits Voldemort had killed ( Cedric Diggory , Frank Bryce , Bertha Jorkins , Lily Potter , and James Potter ) , he managed to get himself and Cedric ' s body back to Hogwarts . A year later , The Dark Lord began to try to steal the prophecy that told the secret of his and Harry ' s fate . He became aware of his connection to Harry ' s mind and used it to lure Harry to the Ministry of Magic , where Riddle battled Albus Dumbledore and almost got away with the prophecy , until it was dropped . About two years after his defeat at the ministry , Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters took over Hogwarts Castle and the Ministry itself , ruling over the wizarding world . He learned , from Mr . Ollivander , that the reason he could not kill Harry was due to the fact that his and Harry ' s wand shared the same core , making them unable to kill one another . After taking Lucius Malfoy ' s wand and having it shattered by a spell Harry casted , Voldemort began to search for the Elder Wand , the most powerful wand in the world . He believed that it would be the one thing that would finally kill Harry Potter . He searched for it until he found out that the last owner was Dumbledore himself . He stole it from the grave of the now dead Dumbledore . Meanwhile , Harry , Ron and Hermione had defeated all the horcruxes but the snake , and the Battle of Hogwarts was where the final duel happened . Voldemort " killed " Harry in the woods , not knowing that Potter himself was a horcrux he accidentally created when he gave him the scar all those years ago . Harry came back to life minutes after and Neville Longbottom decapitated Nagini , leaving Voldemort mortal . Harry battled the Dark Lord one more time , and in the end , due to the fact that the Elder Wand never belonged to Riddle , he , himself , was killed by his own rebounding curse , ending his rule of tyranny once and for all , just like it started , with his own curse . The LEGO Batman Movie . In " The LEGO Batman Movie " , Lord Voldemort is seen among the inmates of the Phantom Zone . When he is freed , he uses his magic to attack Gotham City , including summoning thunder clouds and turning citizens and the police force into fishes , frogs and fish frogs . He also uses Wingardium Leviosa , notably to lift Batman up for the Joker to send him to the Phantom Zone .
