Who else besides me think that Voldemort should have died a more

His death in the books was perfect. He was obsessed with immortality in life, but was given a mundane death, the same as everyone else gets. Thew movie I would imagine would have been incredibly painful as he fell apart bit by bit.

However, the key is what Rowling said was Voldy's karmic suffering. She mentioned that because Voldy died before he could put his soul back together, the fragments of his soul would forever stay in Limbo, unable to move on. So that fetal looking thing in Limbo that was part of Voldy's soul will forever stay in Limbo forever.

But he did ST,

It was what was left of his soul or his spirit or his being (depending on what you believe) that we saw under the bench at King's Cross station and he had largely done it to himself by killing Harry who was the horcrux he never realized he created. When he killed Harry, who was still protected by his Mother's sacrifice, he nearly killed himself... hence his collapse in the woods... and ONLY survived because the last "whole" piece of himself left alive and undamaged was in his snake.

By the time his body "died" his soul or his being or whatever, was a small, entirely broken little thing that was already beyond saving and I genuinely think that his scream of "NOOOOOOO" at the end was the complete shattering of EVERYTHING he had ever believed of himself. That he was invincible, that he would live forever and that he was SO powerful that he could never be defeated... and yet was at the hands of what were effectively, children.

His "body" may not have been given much physical pain but I have never questioned that his death was as painful as was possible for a person of his nature. He was completely and utterly reduced to ash and blown away by the wind at the end. I don't think it gets any worse that that for a "man" of his nature and how embarrassing would it be to know that Harry was able to kill him without EVER using the killing curse? He was so diminished by the end that Harry didn't need to use the "forbidden curse" to kill him... how painful would that knowledge be to the man who believed himself the most powerful wizard in the world?

Although, I confess I liked the ending in the book better because he was being faced down by the students of Hogwarts and Harry had explained to them that because he himself had died for them the way his Mother died for him, so EVERYONE was protected from Voldemort from that point on removing all of his power over virtually everyone and THEN killing him without the killing curse. But either way you look at it there is some pain that is unimaginable in it's power and much of it isn't necessarily physical. The battle of Hogwarts was brutal and horrifying and although his death was the culmination (and I believe he personally suffered the greatest loss in and of himself) it wasn't until after his death that the reality of how bad it had been set in for everyone else.

BUT, that's all just my opinion. If you were hoping for "DEATH BY LUCILLE".... well, sorry bout that.  


"You told me I had nothing. But you were wrong. I have love, I have hope and I have faith."

I thought they did a good job visualizing it.

In a vat of sulfuric acid? Or something worse? Hah-hah
