Voldemort is the taken name of the main antagonist of the popular fantasy book series Harry Potter.

Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of the founders and main writers for lesswrong.com, also writes a Harry Potter fanfiction, called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. (HPATMOR)

Because of this, several accounts on this forum are references to Harry Potter characters.

[edit] Vol de mort is also french for Flight of Death.

I feel obligated to point out that one of the links at the end of the OP was a link to Darwin's review of the last Harry Potter movie; he knows who Voldemort the character is.

I have seen all the movies, most more than once. I have not yet read the books.
