Could Voldemort take over the Muggle world?

No. As others have mentioned it he could control important people in the muggle world and in that way he could takeover the world. But if he would start an open combat against military he would lose it.

How did Voldemort take over the ministry so easily?

Thicknesse was installed in his place as Voldemort’s puppet. The coup also resulted in Voldemort taking control of the newspaper Daily Prophet, allowing him to control the information given to the public. With this new tool he spread propaganda against Harry Potter, Muggle-borns, and allies of the Order of the Phoenix.

What did the ministry do with Mudbloods?

The public goal of the Commission was to force all Muggle-born wizards and witches to register with the Ministry, then undergo interrogation as to how they “stole” their magical power from “real” wizards and witches.

What did umbridge do Muggle-borns?

With the fall of Lord Voldemort, Dolores Umbridge was put on trial for her enthusiastic co-operation with his regime, and convicted of the torture, imprisonment and deaths of several people (some of the innocent Muggle-borns she sentenced to Azkaban did not survive their ordeal).

What happened to muggle-born students during Deathly Hallows?

Muggle-born students were forced to return to Hogwarts or run away. Those that returned would have their wands broken, names registered, and be sent home. Those on the run, which included adult Muggle-borns, would be attacked by Snatchers.

Could Dumbledore have beaten Voldemort?

Albus Dumbledore’s the most obvious person who can defeat Voldemort without even sweating (not that he has much sweat left, anyway). Rowling herself has explicitly stated in the books that Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort fears since he’s actually no match against him squarely.

What is wrong with Mudbloods?

Mudblood was a highly derogatory term for a Muggle-born or half-blood, wizard or witch; that is, individuals with close Muggle relatives.

Did Voldemort actually have a secret child?

Granted, it isn’t a very magical or dramatic way to round out a story, but it does make a lot of sense. So for those who aren’t in the know about this, Voldemort actually has a secret child, a girl named Delphini who was born to Bellatrix Lestrange.

Was Voldemort a Muggle born wizard?

Voldemort was not a muggle-born. His father was a Muggle but his mother Merope Gaunt was a witch (she was one of the last three remaining members of the ‘Gaunt’ family- one of the ‘Pure-Blood/Sacred’ families). Merope fell in love with Tom Riddle Sr. but realised soon that a sincere reciprocation of her feelings would be impossible.

Could Voldemort have seen Harry Potter if someone else killed him?

And at the very least, Voldemort could have seen if someone else were actually able to kill Harry at all. Albus Dumbledore is undoubtedly a genius and one of the greatest wizards who has ever lived. And although it’s hard to admit, the same could be said about Lord Voldemort.

What was Voldemort’s ultimate downfall?

Again, it’s no surprise that Voldemort’s ultimate downfall was his own arrogance, but you’d think after a couple of failed attempts on Harry’s life that Voldemort might hold off on the big speeches and just try to kill Harry. Had he done that, he probably would have actually succeeded.
