Re: A Magical World War, or What if Voldemort had won?
I would have three comments to make on this.
1) It is worth noting that creating a horcrux seems to involve both being totally batcrap insane and being wildly powerful and talented, and the two don't mix well.
2) As crazy and nasty as Tom was, Voldemort is a whole other level. Now, it is entirely possible that this is just poor writing, but there were certainly suggestions that at least some, or possibly all, of that mania lay in how fractured Voldemort was.
3) Kind of a big one here. Voldemort was one of the strongest wizards in history, and he was working from centuries of research into horcruxes, and he was completely psychotic and thus the sort of person to make horcruxes... and he still messed the ritual up. He fractured his soul so badly that he made his final horcrux by mistake, killing himself. That many horcruxes was a disastrously bad plan.Last edited by Friv; 2012-06-06 at 05:50 PM.

Re: A Magical World War, or What if Voldemort had won?
Well we do know for certain that present day teenagers are much better at magic than any that came before them, with very few exceptions (Voldemort in his prime, Dumbledore in his, maybe the founders of each student house). Of course this is because it is a series of books for young teenagers, I realize that. It DOES make every other wizard seem more or less inept, though.

Re: A Magical World War, or What if Voldemort had won?
I'm not sure where this comes from. Apart from Voldemort and Dumbledore Moody, Lupin, Mr. and Ms. Weasley, Kingsley, Snape, Mcgonagall, Flitwick, Slughorn, Bellatrix and Barty Crouch jr. are all portrayed as much more proficient than any of the students with magic, and there's never an implication that anyone other than Hermione shows any exceptional talent out of the primary three. Well, Harry for Defense Against the Dark Arts, but even then he was a long way from an Auror.
