In the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, Ginny Weasley writes a love poem for Harry Potter. And, one theory suggests that Lord Voldemort helped write Harry Potter a love letter in the Chamber of Secrets. This may seem impossible at first glance since Voldemort is the Dark Lord, and Harry Potter is his arch-nemesis.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets continues the magical journey of Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this installment, Harry returns to school for his second year and faces new challenges, including the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets, which has been opened, unleashing a terrifying monster.

One Theory Says Voldemort Helped Write Harry a Love Letter
Ginny Weasley wrote Harry a love poem for Saint Valentine’s Day in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. One theory suggests that Voldemort might help in writing this poem.
In her poem, she writes:
“His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
the hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
It is there that only Voldemort’s followers referred to him as the “dark lord.” Ginny called him Voldemort, the moniker mostly Death Eaters use. In the second book, Ginny spends most of the year under Riddle’s possession and it’s likely that the girl is so hopelessly in love that she turns to her best friend, the diary, to help her conquer Harry’s heart.
In a way, Voldemort did write the love letter to Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe.
How Did Lord Voldemort Actually Possess Ginny Weasley?
The wizarding world, as depicted in J.K. Rowling’s renowned Harry Potter series, is rife with tales of magic, mystery, and malevolence. One such is the possession of Ginny Weasley by the malevolent Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort’s ability to possess Ginny Weasley is deeply intertwined with the concept of Horcruxes. A Horcrux is an object in which a Dark wizard or witch can hide a fragment of their soul to achieve immortality. In Voldemort’s case, he created seven Horcruxes, including the diary of Tom Riddle.
This meant that the diary was able to contain Voldemort’s consciousness and emotions.
When Ginny began writing in the diary, she was unknowingly revealing her deepest secrets and fears to Voldemort.
As Ginny continued to write in the diary, she became increasingly possessed by its malevolent spirit. The diary played upon her fears and insecurities, manipulating her into opening the Chamber of Secrets, an ancient and hidden part of Hogwarts.
