I know we can’t all love the same things, but it will always be a mystery to me why Bellatrix and Voldemort don’t attract more readers. If you really think about who they are—their canonical story, their exceptional personalities, and the sheer length of their connection (30 years, from 1968 to 1998)—their relationship is one of the most intriguing and fascinating in Harry Potter.
Two villains. Complex. Multifaceted. A half-blood genius. A pureblood warrior. Both defying the odds, enduring the worst, reuniting, and ultimately dying in the same place, at the same time. Whether or not you believe in Bellamort, one thing is undeniable: their relationship is not simple, and it is not one-sided. Reducing Bellatrix to nothing more than a mindless groupie is both ignorant and deeply misogynistic.
As mad as each other.

Bellamort is the most romantic ship ever. The ultimate illustration of "I love you the way you are." It's not an "I can fix him" ship; it's a couple that explores the depths of evil together, finding equal fascination in each other's thirst for power. The more Voldemort loves himself, the more Bellatrix loves him. And Voldemort cares for nothing and no one in the world, but even with his fractured soul, he can't fully conceal his care for Bellatrix, no matter how much he longs to feel nothing. There's no salvation. No redemption arc. Just a dark, twisted, ever-growing love.
I love Bellatrix so much
Poor Lucius😂😂😂
There is only Bellamort and those too weak to ship it.
