purely from the wizard's point of view, Voldemort is a genius wizard. He has great talent and is good at finding the magic wealth left by his predecessors and using it for his own use. If he is a kind wizard, he can bring great changes to the wizarding world, but unfortunately he has taken the wrong path.

Moreover, from the villain's point of view, he relies too much on his own strength. Although he has also established death eaters, he is controlled by fear rather than personality cult. There is a great difference between these two control methods. Under Voldemort's fear and high pressure, once he has any problems, such as his weakest period, no one cares about him at all. Only Wormtail went looking for him to save his life. The reason why the loser of the first film called the beast is willing to be possessed by him is to be intoxicated with Voldemort's personal charm. Voldemort himself has extraordinary personal charm, and he has been using it all the time. Unfortunately, he didn't use it in ruling, otherwise his death eater army would be an army with extraordinary loyalty, instead of the current state of fragmentation.

Voldemort also lacks a clear platform for struggle. He has always been addicted to trivial and boring struggles, such as bullying Muggles and persecuting ordinary wizards who are kind and incompetent. To tell the truth, these things are useless and can only be disgusting. Voldemort is a pure-blooded person. Although he is not pure-blooded, it is precisely because of this that he imposed the pain of his childhood on his non-pure-blooded identity, and paranoid that only pure-blooded wizards can rule everything, and has been trying to achieve this.

it's a pity that he chose the wrong path.

Actually, I think Voldemort's best way out is to run for the Ministry of Magic, then rule the magic world with politics and his own bewitching skills, and then gradually encroach on Muggle society to achieve his evil goals. But Voldemort obviously doesn't study these things. His life seems to only study magic and how to make people suffer, but he hasn't thought about how to rule more effectively. Therefore, although his rule is cruel, it can only be a flash in the pan.

In fact, according to what is written in Harry Potter's book, those people in the wizarding world are easy to rule, and few people have their own unique views. Most people just drift with the tide, and some people are afraid of chaos in the world. It is not difficult to rule them as long as nothing particularly serious happens. Unfortunately, Voldemort didn't see this, and he still stubbornly thought that as long as he was strong, he could control others for his own use.
