Ents didn't defeat his army. You lied.
They defeated Saruman himself, lern2read.
I never said he was the best follower. He was the most spineless. A competent follower is Snape. Crouch as well. Saruman was a very competent follower as well who can think on his own. Pettigrew is not a mastermind he is a yes man.
Snape was a traitor, not a follower at all. Crouch is competent, but so is Pettigrew, who easily didn't give a **** about anything.
Saruman was competent, but always under Sauron's thrall, and it speaks to Sauron's brilliance that he acquired a wholly competent, yet also wholly loyal follower like Saruman.
Sauron's troops always lost. Not something to brag about. Voldemort was successful and turned many to his side.
Sauron's troops kicked Gondor's ass before the battle of Minas Tirith, watch the movie.
Voldemort successfully was nearly killed by a baby.
Snape was still killed.
A fact that is totally incidental.
It was a combined effort to bring him down. He required betrayal whereas Sauron was just beaten straight up despite having massive armies at his disposal.
Sauron was defeated through the efforts of far more people than Voldemort.
The Ministry was not ineffective it is just Voldemort was the bees knees of the Potter universe. Everyone was scared shitless of him. Voldemort conquered the magical world which was far more impressive than Middle Earth which was never conquered and consisted of five wizards.
The Minister of Magic refused to even believe he was back and actively hindered the heroes' efforts toward stopping him until movie 5's end. They suck ass.
Voldemort conquered a small portion of Britain, calm down.
And ? Hundreds of wizards and acting like one dragon destroys hundreds of wizards is just stupid. Stop.
Most wizards suck though.
Wizards stomp.You also have Giants, Dementors, Centaurs, etc. in the Potter verse.
Dragons solo.
