Who first appeared in the first novel in the "Harry Potter" series?
Lord Voldemort Lord Voldemort ( , or in the films; born Tom Marvolo Riddle) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in J. K. Rowling's series of "Harry Potter" novels. Voldemort first appeared in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which was released in 1997. Voldemort appears either in person or in flashbacks in each book and its film adaptation in the series, except the third, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", where he is only mentioned.
White King (Through the Looking-Glass) The White King is a fictional character who appears in Lewis Carroll's fantasy story "Through the Looking-Glass". Aside from Alice herself, he is one of the earliest chesspieces that are introduced into the story. Although he does not interact with Alice as much as the White Queen does, because Alice becomes a pawn on his side of the Chess-game, he is, on some levels, the most important character within the story at least as far as the game is concerned. He is not to be confused with the King of Hearts from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
