The Hidden Detail In Voldermort’s Robe In ‘The Deathly Hallows’ Will Seriously Blow Your Mind

I didn’t think that the Harry Potter series could be filled with anymore secrets,until today, when the Wizarding World Instagram dropped a major bomb on me.

According to the official Instagram, the Harry Potter costume designers snuck a hidden detail into Voldemort’s robes that you probably never even noticed. Apparently, each time a Horcrux was killed in the two Deathly Hallows movies, Voldemort’s robes appeared faded in the following scene. The decision was meant to make it appear as though he was “slowly fading away.”

Did you know? In the Harry Potter films, Voldemort's robes faded in colour every time a Horcrux was destroyed, to give the impression he was slowly fading away.

This explains why Voldemort’s remains crumbled and blew away when he died in the final scenes of the movie, instead of leaving a body behind, like he did in the books.

J.K. Rowling, you never stop surprising me.
