Voldemort, also known as Lord Voldemort, Tom Marvolo Riddle, or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, is one of the most iconic villains in all of literature. He firt appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series as the main antagonist and has since become a symbol for evil and terror all over the world. But what about Voldemort’s family? Did he have any children?
The answer is yes – although it was kept secret from the public until recently. Voldemort had a daughter named Delphi Diggory/Riddle/Lestrange, who was born sometime before the Battle of Hogwarts during his reign of terror. The child’s mother was Bellatrix Lestrange, one of Voldemort’s Death Eaters and one of his most loyal followers.
Delphi was conceived during a night between Voldemort and Bellatrix while they were in hiding at Malfoy Manor after the events of Order of the Phoenix or Half-Blood Prince. At first, Delphi introduced herself to Amos Diggory as his niece but she is actually his grandchild, being half blood herself due to her father being a muggle (Tom Riddle) and her mother being a witch (Bellatrix Lestrange).
Delphi has only one goal: restoring her father to power by preventing Cedric Diggory from winning the Triwizard Tournament and reaching the portkey. To do this she used time travel several times but on one attempt Cedric actually ends up attacking Delphini when he recognises her as an enemy.
It turns out that Delphini is not only the last living heir to Salazar Slytherin but also able to speak Parseltongue—a language spoken by snakes which only those with magical powers can understand—due to being Lord Voldemort’s daughter. Despite being born out of love between two dark witches she still holds some good inside her and helps Harry Potter save Albus Severus Potter from certain death at her own expense—proving that even though you may have a dark past you can still choose light in your future if you strive for it hard enough!
The Mother of Lord Voldemort’s Child
Lord Voldemort had a child with Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater who was loyal to him and fought alongside him during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. Delphi, the daughter of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, is the titular main antagonist of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. She was born shortly after Lord Voldemort’s death in 1998, and her existence was kept secret by those loyal to him. Delphi is determined to restore her father to power by any means necessary.

Voldemort and Bellatrix’s Pregnancy: How Did It Happen?
Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange had a romantic relationship at some point before the Battle of Hogwarts. It is believed that they had sexual intercourse during the events of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, resulting in the conception of their daughter, Delphi Diggory/Riddle/Lestrange. Although there is no specific information on how their baby was conceived, it can be assumed that Voldemort used traditional methods of reproduction to impregnate Bellatrix.
The Mystery of Delphini’s Death
It is ultimately Voldemort, in his guise of Barty Crouch Jr., who kills Delphini during the Triwizard Tournament. After Cedric Diggory attacks Delphini, Voldemort uses the Killing Curse to kill her. Though Cedric is responsible for initiating the attack that ultimately led to Delphini’s death, Voldemort is the one who delivers the fatal blow and is thus the one who killed her.
Bellatrix and Voldemort’s Number of Children
Bellatrix Lestrange and Lord Voldemort had only one known child, a half-blood Dark witch named Delphini, who was born sometime around 1998. Delphini, also known by the nickname Delphi, is believed to be the only living heir of Salazar Slytherin after her father’s demise.
Was Bellatrix Lestrange Pregnant With Lord Voldemort’s Child?
Bellatrix Lestrange was indeed pregnant with Voldemort’s child. The conception of Delphi occurred shortly after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in June 1996. Bellatrix was kept at Malfoy Manor following her capture by Aurors, and shortly thereafter gave birth to Delphi. This event was confirmed by Rowling herself in an interview in 2017, where she revealed that Delphi is the product of a “fictional incestuous relationship” between Bellatrix and Voldemort.

Is Voldemort’s Virginity Status Unknown?
Yes, Lord Voldemort was a virgin. Tom Riddle, the young wizard who would become Lord Voldemort, was portrayed as asexual throughout J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. He was never seen to express an interest in any particular gender, nor to develop any romantic or sexual relationships with anyone. In fact, it is suggested in the books that he had no interest in sex whatsoever and that he viewed it as a distraction from his grand plans for world domination. This lack of interest was likely due to the fact that Tom had been raised wihout any parental guidance or love, which may have caused him to be emotionally stunted and unable to form meaningful relationships with other people. Thus, it is safe to assume that when he became Lord Voldemort, he remained a virgin.
The Origin of Voldemort’s Acquisition of Nagini
Voldemort obtained Nagini as a Horcrux after he killed Bertha Jorkins. Voldemort, who was already a skilled wizard at this point, had been practicing Dark Arts and researching the creation of Horcruxes for some time. He used his dark magic to transform a part of his soul into an object, which he then hid in an enchanted place. In the case of Nagini, that place was the body of a magical snake. The transformation process took place sometime before Voldemort killed Bertha Jorkins in 1994, making her death the event that finalized Nagini’s transformation into a Horcrux.
The Love Life of Bellatrix
Bellatrix Lestrange is in love with Lord Voldemort, the infamous Dark Wizard. Though she married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts, it was because it was expected of her to marry a pure-blood. This indicates that Bellatrix did not have true feelings for him. According to J.K. Rowling, Bellatrix is deeply devoted and in love with Voldemort, and this sentiment is echoed throughout the Harry Potter series. Despite her loyalty and devotion, she is often met with lttle more than indifference from the Dark Lord, who has no interest in any kind of relationship beyond the one of master and servant.
Did Voldemort Know About Delphini?
Voldemort was aware of Delphini’s existence, but the extent of his knowledge is unknown. He is believed to have been made aware by his servants, who had kept her birth a closely guarded secret. Euphemia Rowle was paid gold to raise Delphini, though who provided the payment remains a mystery. It is possible that Voldemort was the one to arrange for her care, however this has never been confirmed.

Is Delphini the Heir of Slytherin?
Yes, Delphini is the heir of Slytherin. She is the only known living descendant of Salazar Slytherin after the demise of her father, Lord Voldemort. As such, she is able to speak Parseltongue and has inherited many of her father’s magical abilities. Delphini was born to Tom Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange, making her a half-blood Dark witch. She is believed to be the only living individual with an unbroken lineage back to Salazar Slytherin and as such she holds great power in the wizarding world.
Is Delphi Diggory Voldemort’s Daughter?
Yes, Delphi is indeed the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange. This is revealed in the third act of the play where Delphi reveals her true identity to Albus Potter, who she had been leading to believe she was the niece of Amos Diggory and cousin to the long-dead Cedric Diggory. Delphi’s parentage was first hinted at by Delphini herself when she asked Albus what he would do if he knew his family’s enemy was also part of his family. Additionally, Delphini’s ability to speak Parseltongue was an indication that she had a connection to Voldemort.
Relationship Between the Weasleys and the Malfoys
Yes, the Weasleys and Malfoys are related. While they share a common ancestor, the connection is distant—they are second cousins once removed by marriage. The two families have a long-standing feud stemming from their different views on magical traditions and beliefs. Lucius Malfoy is the head of the Malfoy family while Arthur Weasley is the head of the Weasley family, and their rivalry has been a major source of conflict in the wizarding world.
Age Difference Between Voldemort and Bellatrix
The age gap between Voldemort and Bellatrix is 23 years. In 1998, when the Battle of Hogwarts took place, Voldemort was 70/71 years old and Bellatrix was 47. This is an important detail to note because it means that when Voldemort first started working with the Death Eaters, Bellatrix was already quite young compared to some of the other members of the group. It’s also interesting to note that while Avery was also quite young during this time, he was much older than Bellatrix.
Exploring the Possibility of Professor Quirrell Being a Horcrux
No, Professor Quirrell was not technically a Horcrux. A Horcrux is an object in which a Dark wizard has hidden a fragment of their soul, usually with the intention of achieving immortality. While Voldemort did indeed possess Professor Quirrell’s body, it served more as a temporary vessel for Voldemort’s soul than as an actual Horcrux. Voldemort had used some kind of dark magic to transfer part of his soul into Quirrell, allowing him to speak through Quirrell and take control of his actions. However, this was only temporary and when Voldemort left Quirrell’s body the soul fragment dissipated and he was no longer a Horcrux.
Conclusion
Voldemort, also known as Lord Voldemort or Tom Marvolo Riddle, was a half-blood wizard who lived from 1926 to 1998. He was a dark wizard and the leader of the Death Eaters, a group of evil wizards who sought to dominate the Wizarding world and eliminate all Muggle-borns.
