SPOILERS For Books 1-6.

Contains content from books 1-6.

It will not be updated with content from Book 7 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). If/when I create a blog that contains content on the seventh book I will create a new blog and will link from here.

This will forever be frozen as "Pre-Deathly Hallows." There are no Book 7 spoilers here (except for the guesses and predictions developed from these tables of earlier content).

Voldemort's Name

QuoteSource
"Ask for Tom the barman - easy enough to remember, as he shares your name -"

Riddle gave an irritable twitch, as though trying to displace an irksome fly.

"You dislike the name 'Tom'?"

"There are a lot of Toms," muttered Riddle.
Book 6, Pages 274-275

Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 13, "The Secret Riddle"
"So, Tom... to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Voldemort did not answer at once, but merely sipped his wine.

"They do not call me 'Tom' anymore," he said. "These days I am known as -"

"I know what you are known as," said Dumbledore, smiling pleasantly. "But to me, I'm afraid, you will always be Tom Riddle. It is one of the irritating things about old teachers. I am afraid that they never quite forget their charges' youthful beginnings."
Book 6, Page 442

Half Blood Prince, Chapter 20, "Lord Voldemort's Request"
"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this 'You-Know-Who' nonsense - for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort." Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we keep saying 'You-Know-Who.' I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort's name."Book 1, Page 11

Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 1, "The Boy Who Lived"
"Sir?" said Harry. "I've been thinking ... Sir-even if the Stone's gone, Vol-, I mean, You-Know-Who -"

"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself."
Book 1, Page 298

Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 17, "The Man With Two Faces"
..."If it was difficult to find evidence about the boy Riddle, it has been impossible to find anyone prepared to reminisce about the man Voldemort."Book 6, Page 430

Half Blood Prince, Chapter 20, "Lord Voldemort's Request"
