What happens if you say Voldemort?

Since the only individuals who weren’t Death Eaters themselves who dared speak Voldemort’s name were members of the Order of the Phoenix or their allies, the Taboo allowed Voldemort’s followers to track down their enemies. Anyone who dared to speak the name and break the Taboo would be hunted down as criminals.

Why Voldemort should not be named?

Voldemort’s name had been jinxed during the times when he rose to power. Using his name broke protective enchantments and caused a magical disturbance which the death eaters could use to track them.

What was Voldemort’s ultimate downfall?
