  (#17) 1998: Voldemort Dies In The Battle of Hogwarts

  In March 1998, Voldemort finally tracks Grindelwald down to Nurmengard prison, where he's unable to make the now old and defeated Grindewald reveal the location of the Elder Wand. Angered, Voldemort kills Grindelwald for his defiance. However, he deduces that Dumbledore had been the final owner of the Elder Wand due to his defeat of Grindelwald and retrieves the wand from Dumbledore's grave at Hogwarts.

  On 1st May 1998, Voldemort learns of Harry Potter's hunt for the Horcruxes after the theft of Hufflepuff's goblet from Gringotts. He decides to check on all the remaining Horcruxes, only to learn that they have all been stolen as well. With Nagini by his side, Voldemort leaves for Hogwarts to retrieve Ravenclaw's diadem from the Room of Requirement. Upon his arrival, he learns that Harry has inspired an uprising at the school and driven the Death Eaters out. This prompts Voldemort to declare a battle until Harry is dead. Voldemort also kills Severus Snape when he realizes that Snape was the one to kill Dumbledore and would logically be the master of the Elder Wand. Unbeknownst to Voldemort, Hufflepuff's goblet and Ravenclaw's diadem are both destroyed at Hogwarts around this time.

  On 2nd May 1998, Voldemort summoned his Death Eaters back for one hour and gave an ultimatum to Harry's supporters to turn him over or he would join the battle himself. Harry arrives in the Forbidden Forest to sacrifice his life at Voldemort's hands, who casts the killing curse. However, Voldemort only manages to destroy the piece of soul that lived in Harry. Believing himself to be triumphant, Voldemort orders his enemies to acknowledge him as their master until Harry reveals himself to still be alive. In the ensuing chaos, Neville Longbottom kills Nagini, leaving Voldemort mortal once more.

  Unknown to Voldemort, Harry is actually the true owner of the Elder Wand as Dumbledore had been disarmed by Draco Malfoy before his death, whom Harry had overpowered earlier. Seeking to kill Harry once and for all, Voldemort casts the killing curse but it backfires on him as the Elder Wand refuses to kill its master. With this, the dark and twisted life of Tom Riddle finally comes to an end.

Wormtail earlier managed to take hold of Bertha Jorkins, a Ministry of Magic official, whom Voldemort tortures to find out the location of his faithful Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr, the planning of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts, and the appointment of Alastor Moody as the next Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.

  On 23rd August 1994, Voldemort moves into the house owned by his paternal grandparents and kills a Muggle named Frank Bryce who overhears his plans. He uses the murder of Bryce to turn Nagini into the final Horcrux. 

  By 1st September 1994, Voldemort has attacked the Crouch family home and made Barty Crouch Sr his puppet by casting an Imperius charm on him. He tasks Barty Crouch Jr with taking on the disguise of Mad-Eye Moody, who is also captured and imprisoned. Finally, he orders Crouch Jr to place Harry Potter's name in the Goblet of Fire to be named as a Triwizard champion.

  Over the course of the year, Voldemort waits patiently while Crouch Jr ensures Harry wins the tournament while turning the cup into a portkey that will teleport Harry to Voldemort's location.

  On 24th June 1995, Voldemort's plan comes into motion when Harry and Cedric Diggory arrive at the Little Hangleton graveyard. Voldemort orders Wormtail to kill Cedric while Harry is bound, with his blood used to complete a spell that creates a new body for Voldemort. The Death Eaters are summoned back and Voldemort's return is complete. However, he's unable to kill Harry who escapes using the same portkey that brought him to the graveyard.
