Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

by

J. K. Rowling

The villain of the series; an evil overlord obsessed with blood purity. He doesn't appear in person in this novel, but he was in power until twelve years ago. At that point, Harry's parents, who were part of the resistance, had gone into hiding from him, but someone close to them betrayed them. Voldemort killed Lily and James, but when he tried to kill Harry, the curse rebounded, destroying him instead. At the beginning of the novel, Harry and the rest of the wizarding world believe that Sirius Black was one of Voldemort's closest supporters and betrayed the Potters, but in the Shrieking Shack, Harry discovers that Sirius is innocent and Peter Pettigrew was actually in league with Voldemort.
