Why Voldemort Never Used Unbreakable Vows

In this short episode of Half Blood Pod, Scott and William tackle another Harry Potter “plot hole” making the rounds online:Why didn’t Voldemort force all of his Death Eaters to make Unbreakable Vows?At first glance, it sounds logical. If betrayal means death, wouldn’t Voldemort want absolute loyalty from everyone around him?But the more you look at Voldemort’s character, the less this argument actually makes sense.The guys break down why Voldemort doesn’t operate from fear, why Unbreakable Vows are way too vague to work at scale, and why most of Voldemort’s biggest betrayals probably wouldn’t have been prevented anyway.They also discuss Snape, Narcissa, Regulus Black, Horcrux trust, and why Voldemort fundamentally misunderstands human relationships.⚡️Topics include:• How Unbreakable Vows actually work• Why Voldemort doesn’t “fear betrayal”• Snape and Narcissa’s vow in Half-Blood Prince• Why Regulus Black still would have betrayed Voldemort• Why Voldemort trusted Bellatrix and Lucius with Horcruxes• The next “plot hole” debate: the Fidelius CharmListen now 🎧⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:35 The Unbreakable Vow “plot hole”01:15 Does Voldemort actually fear betrayal?02:00 Why the vow wouldn’t work04:00 Snape, Narcissa, and loopholes05:30 Voldemort’s biggest betrayals07:20 Why Voldemort trusted his followers09:00 Next week’s Fidelius Charm debate10:00 OutroConnect with Us:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/halfbloodpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram (Trivia): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ultimatehptrivia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@halfbloodpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ultimatehptrivia⁠⁠⁠
