| “ | Marvolo Gaunt was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry. If that ring had been passed down through the centuries, he might not have known what it really was. There were no books in that house, and trust me, he wasn't the type to read fairy tales to his kids. He'd have loved to think the scratches on the stone were a coat of arms, because as far as he was concerned, having pure blood made you practically royal. | „ |
| ~ Harry Potter, on Marvolo Gaunt's behavior and his inherited ring. |
Marvolo Gaunt is a minor antagonist from the Harry Potter series. He was the maternal grandfather of Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort, and a violent wizard who believed in pure-blood supremacy and had two children, a son named Morfin and a daughter named Merope, the latter of whom he abused out of his hatred for females.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- It's heavily implied that he murdered his wife out of his misogyny.
- He strongly believed in pure-blood supremacy and took excessive pride in being a descendant of Salazar Slytherin.
- He had a vicious nature, using violence against many who he felt contempt for, including Merope, Muggles and Ministry of Magic officials.
- He frequently abused Merope, physically and verbally, for her poor magic skills, and tried to strangle her when he learned she was in love with the Muggle Tom Riddle Sr. (which led to his and Morfin's arrests).
- He defied the Ministry's laws due to his arrogance by using magic in front of Muggles, and violently resisted arrest.
- His actions ultimately led to the rise and terror of Lord Voldemort, whom his daughter gave birth to.
