Lord Voldemort's Army Of Death Eaters In Harry Potter

Introduction In the Harry Potter series, its 7 books portray a dystopian society where the wrath, tempestuous desires, and repugnant actions of a mysterious and ominous yet very tangibly present antagonist drive the story’s plot and whose involvement elicits major events. Lord Voldemort, or “He who must not be named” is one of the most impactful and memorable antagonists of our generation, both in literature and on film. Therefore, some insight into both the novellas and the events involving him often lead to an assumption that perhaps Lord Voldemort’s and his army of Death Eaters’ actions and beliefs stem from another infamous character. Adolf Hitler. Sharp analysis and research on Rowling’s books and the acquisition of a deeper understanding
