When asked about the wave of fanboys Voldemort had attracted:
"To this day I'm still confused why so many people believe Voldemort is one film's most iconic villains. I can see the literary version attaining such status, but the film version came off as little more than a throwaway villain for the hero to trounce. An utterly forgettable character that even Fiennes couldn't save. Amon Goeth, Hannibal Lector, Darth Vader and Hans Gruber, now those are memorable film villains." -J.K. Rowling (BBC Interview) Circa 2012
