    Was Adolf Hitler really a bad guy?

    You've probably heard lots about him.

    But, he never mentioned he wanted to kill every human on earth.

    He just wanted Aryan Germans to step out of the shadows and take control.

    Do you think that's bad, personally?

    Source(s): The similarities of themes of prejudice, concept of "lebensraum", and tyranny/dictatorship between Harry Potter and Nazi Germany are substantial. If Muggles are Jews, then Voldemort is Hitler. Compare the two and see if you can still the same about Tom Riddle.

    He was a text book sociopath, a racist, a murderer, and a sadist. He was incapable of empathy because he was conceived under a love potion. He didn't just want to take control, he wanted to enslave muggles and use them as play things. He is a pretty intense villain.

    i thought the same way, it wasn't going to be the end of the world for wizards like he always said i dont want to spill magical blood.

    He wanted to rule by force.

    He would've forced muggles into slavery or something similar...Also, he considered 'muggle-hunting' a sport, both torturing & killing.

    I don't see how that's NOT bad...

    He was a genocidal, sadistic narcissist who went to any means to gain power and killed or tortured anyone who opposed him.
