Tom Riddle wasn't always evil....

We meet the 11 year old Tom Riddle (Voldemort) in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He is played by Hero Fiennes-Tiffin.

After seeing the movie trailers I think the casting was perfect. Hero seems to find the perfect balance of evil innocence.

Sound off! What do you think of Hero's Performance? 

Just watching the movie trailers gives me chills. The look on his face when Dumbledore sets the wardrobe on fire is a clear thirst and greed for the power that magic could give him.

Does Hero Fiennes-Tiffin give a convincing performance as an 11 year old Voldemort?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Absolutely his performance gave me chills

Jade says:

Absolutely! He has the dark,chilling presense that Tom Riddle supposedly posesses, and also the dark shadowed glint in his eyes gives a rather eerie look to him, But the fact that he's cute gave him the wide-eyed innocence of an 11 year old boy.
