1. Lord Voldemort Never Kills Harry When He Has The Chance - Harry Potter Series
The Nicklas Bendtner of cinema, Lord Voldemort is another clear example of a villain who really doesn't take his chances when they're given to him. Supposedly the most powerful wizard who ever lived, he becomes a parasite living off Professor Quirrell in the first film. Quirrell - a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, might I add - has a face-off against an 11-year-old, and doesn't kill him stone dead. Never mind, there's always the second year? Voldemort, this time in the form of his younger self, decides not to deceive Harry and complete his rise to power, but reveal his entire plan to him, leaving him time to come up with a plan of his own. That plan only goes and summons help from the one wizard he's afraid of. Nice one, Tom. Well done. By the fourth film, serial killer Voldemort, famous for murdering wizards who weren't pure-blood, makes a big deal of being gentlemanly, offering Harry a duel; the same wizard who orphaned him is now bowing to him, instead of finishing him off when he had him trapped. This is a boy who has little to no power whatsoever, but has still come out on top in three of your duels; are you really just going to let him fight back, and pull another crackpot miracle out of thin air again? Voldemort does. By the eighth film, when Harry's actually grown up, the Dark Lord doesn't really stand a chance. Even Neville's more dangerous at this point! Like this article?
