Lord Voldemort (/ˈvoʊldəmɔːr/ VOHL-də-mor, /-mɔːrt/ -mort in the films)[j] is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. He first appears in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997) and returns either in person or in flashbacks in each novel in the series except the third, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in which he is only mentioned. Voldemort, an anagrammatic sobriquet for his birth name Tom Marvolo Riddle, is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has "the power to vanquish the Dark Lord". After killing Harry's parents, Lily and James Potter, he attempts to murder the boy, but instead leaves him with a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. Nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter his name and refers to him instead with such monikers as "You-Know-Who", "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", or The Dark Lord. Voldemort's obsession with blood purity signifies his aim to rid the wizarding world of Muggle (non-magical) heritage and to conquer both worlds, Muggle and wizarding, to achieve pure-blood dominance. Through his mother's family, he is the last descendant of the wizard Salazar Slytherin,[6][7] one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the leader of the Death Eaters, a group of wizards and witches dedicated to ridding the Wizarding World of Muggles and establishing Voldemort as its supreme ruler.

I'd suggest watching WickedBinge to have a better understanding of this casting page. For example, sometimes villains are considered Bad Apples, because while what they do is harmful, they do it for the good of something else, or they do bad things due to something that makes it out of their control. Bad Apples can also be considered villains whose intentions are evil, but not evil enough to affect too much of the world around them. Bad Apples can also be mean children who were raised that way by their parents. They can also be irresponsible in their jobs or roles as parents. Neutral characters can be characters who were evil at first, before happily joining the side of good, either being evil from manipulation, or being good after they've been betrayed. (But it all depends on how evil the deeds were before they turned good, as well as how understandable their backstory and reason for doing bad things is, or how good their deeds are to fix things up and make them right again.) Evil Villain is a character that does more harm in their bad things, usually affecting the world around them, but has their rare, VERY rare moments of either good deeds, or feelings and sympathy for something or someone. An Evil Villain can be a character that can be hard to take seriously, but has no goodwill in them either. Evil Villains can also be characters who aren't considered real villains technically, but have done so many bad deeds, with bad intentions that affect the people around them. Even characters with negative thoughts can be considered evil! Devil Incarnate is a character who almost NEVER cares about the evil deeds they do, and they greatly affect the world or lives around them without even caring at all. They'll have either no real reason for being so vicious, or no backstory sympathetic enough that is reasonable for why they are evil in the first place, combined with the heartless deeds they have done that affect others around them greatly. They will not hesitate to do something so harmful and hurtful, even if it's for a small, simple plan! Feel free to rank who you think is Pure Angel, Mostly Good, Fairly Good, Neutral, Bad Apple, Evil Villain, and Devil Incarnate. And if you'd like to, just for fun, you can even explain why that character should be considered the rank you've placed them into the comment section of your selection! Enjoy!
