In a segment celebrating British children's literature at the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in London, an inflatable Voldemort appeared alongside other villains, The Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil, to haunt children's dreams, before the arrival of a group of over thirty Mary Poppins who descended with their umbrellas to defeat them. [74] C- Confirm every cla-claim and-... and repeat it...” Harry whimpered, glazed eyes wandering without seeing anything. Finally she gave him a reluctant nod. Harry smiled brightly at her. “Thank you Hedwig. I'll see you soon.” Rowling described Voldemort as "the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years". [8] She elaborated that he is a "raging psychopath, devoid of the normal human responses to other people's suffering", and whose only ambition in life is to become all-powerful and immortal. He is also a sadist who hurts and murders people—especially Muggles—for his own amusement. He has no conscience, feels no remorse or empathy, and does not recognise the worth and humanity of anybody except himself. [41] From his perch Fawkes cried his grief to the skies. Even the magnificent bird couldn't retrieve the Boy-Who-Lived from wherever Voldemort had hidden him. The Dark Lord had found a way to ward out phoenixes.

Voldemort was very pleased with himself, smiling as he heard the Boy-Who-Lived's unsteady gait behind him. Entering the bedroom he had the elves prepare in advance, he turned and waited for the boy to catch up. Yeah, no. Who was he kidding? He laughed derisively at himself. He had to be really desperate to think a man he'd only known as a professor would send something. With a vicious smile the Dark Lord placed the tip of his wand against the top of Harry's sternum, right in the middle of the manubrium, and cast a strong numbing spell on the area to ensure Harry wouldn't snap out of his daze. Slowly Voldemort burned the rune Tiwaz in the boy's skin, focusing his mind on the aspects of the rune he wanted to exploit so his intent would embed them deeply in the boy's mind.

With a self-satisfied smile Voldemort gently petted the boy whose passage was still clenching around him like a vice. A small vial stood on the bedside table, glowing eerily in the darkness. Pink normally wouldn’t look this foreboding, but knowing what it was meant to do, looking foreboding was perfectly appropriate. It was a delightful way for Lord Voldemort to neutralize his enemy.

Voldemort decided he liked the way the boy timidly lowered his gaze as he stripped himself.Harry could feel V.'s smirk, and squeaked when something hot and wet traced the outer shell of his ear, followed by teeth nipping softly at his earlobe. He squirmed as V.'s hand slipped even lower, just beneath the waistband of his pants and uncomfortably close to the hard proof of the effect the man had on him.

Carefully placing the box on his desk he relieved the other owls from their loads. For a moment Harry reached for the next letter, but then he decided against it. He was a bit hungry and the cream had been very good. He knew pastries like those, having watched the Dursleys consume them by the dozen. Cream always tended to sag after a while, so they were best eaten as soon as possible. Distantly, Harry was aware that the revelation should upset him. Even more distantly Harry was aware that it was really, really wrong that it didn't, especially because it meant that it was the murderer of his parents who was molesting him. For a moment fear and bewilderment fought to reach the forefront of his mind, but the sensation of lips sliding over his cheek distracted him and blew the interfering emotions away in a blaze of heat and guilty arousal. Idly Harry wondered how the pastry was still in one piece after the flight. Definitely some sort of spell. He made a mental note to ask. That should be a question she could safely answer over the mail.They should have taken Harry's broom. Because they hadn't done that Harry had been able to get past the wards before his watcher – a role Mundungus had fulfilled that night – had been able to stop him. Victory was so close he could taste it. Just one last step, one last response to seal the boy's fate.... Almost as an afterthought Voldemort waved his hand, denying his new pet any chance at respite. Harry would not orgasm nor tire, only suffer hour upon hour until the pleasure itself became a form of torture, forever hovering on the edge of unbearable until the Dark Lord saw fit to release him. In the morning he wouldn't need magic to get Harry to agree to anything he wanted. Finally the toy was in place, the knob pressed all the way against Harry's sensitive head. Harry was keening and whimpering around the gag, hanging limply from the ceiling, shaking from head to toe. Pierce, Nev (28 July 2003). "Reel Life". BBC Films. London, England: BBC .
