Voldemort
Voldemort is the villain of J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter series—a dark wizard so feared that characters avoid speaking his name, calling him "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "You-Know-Who." The name has become shorthand for any person or topic people are afraid to mention directly: Climate change is the Voldemort of this administration's energy policy.
