Upstairs he tried to force Lily Potter away so he could kill her son, but she refused to leave, and he killed her with the killing curse. When he got to their house, James Potter tried to hold off Voldemort so his wife and child could escape but he left his wand in another room and Voldemort killed him with the killing curse. On Halloween in 1981, Peter Pettigrew revealed where the Potters were, Voldemort set off to find them. Voldemort also made 3 more Horcruxes: Salazar Slytherin's locket, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, and Helga Hufflepuff's cup. He later assembled a group of followers which included Bellatrix Lestrange, insane cousin of Sirius Black, her husband and brother-in-law Roldophus and Rastaban Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Fenrir Greyback, Peter Pettigrew, Walden Macnair, Severus Snape, Igor Karkaroff, Evan Rosier, Crabbe Sr., Goyle Sr., Avery Sr., Avery Jr., Mulciber Sr., Mulciber Jr., Nott Sr., Amycus and Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Barty Crouch Jr., Yaxley, Thorfinn Rowle, Regulus Black, Professor Umbridge, Augustus Rookwood, Gibbon, Jugson, Selwyn, Travers, and Wilkes. He visited his mother's old home, where he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt, who said he looked like "the filthy muggle who stole Merope." Tom, now known as Lord Voldemort, killed his father and grandparents (which allowed him to make his second Horcrux, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, which was the Resurrection Stone), framed their gardener Frank Bryce, and altered Morfin's memory to convince him he did it.

Riddle got a trophy for "Special Services to the School".Īfter he graduated, Riddle applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post twice but was turned down. He accused Rubeus Hagrid and his pet spider Aragog of killing Myrtle and got him expelled. The Basilisk inside killed Moaning Myrtle (Whose death he used to make his first horcrux, the Diary which would later take control of Ginny Weasley). When he was 16, he opened the Chamber of Secrets. During one point, he persuaded then-headmaster Armando Dippet to allow him to stay there.

All the teachers liked him, especially Professor Slughorn, who told Tom the nature of horcruxes in his later years. Tom, thinking Dumbledore was a doctor or psychologist there to take him to an asylum, refused to go until Dumbledore demonstrated his power.Īt Hogwarts, Tom was a good student, and a very skilled wizard with many unique abilities such as parseltongue. Then, a younger Albus Dumbledore came to take him to Hogwarts. When he discovered his wizard powers, he used them to abuse the other children. His father was Tom Riddle Sr, a Muggle, who abandoned Merope after learning she was a witch. His mother was Merope Gaunt, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, who died in childbirth. Lord Voldemort was originally born Tom Marvolo Riddle. This variation was acceptably unique to the previous variations of Voldemort and this variation also had a more similar look to Voldemort in the late Harry Potter movies. He even had a new wand which was white instead of black. He now featured a black cape and also had a printed torso. He now had a new face, on a white minifigure head. In his third variation, introduced in 2010, his minifigure received a big re-design from the previous variations. His wand was also black in this variation.

He only had a basic unprinted black body and legs, but his hands were white. He also featured a gray cloak which was also used with the older variation of the Dementor minifigure. His face was the same as the one on Professor Quirrell however, it was printed on a glow-in-the-dark minifigure head instead of a yellow head. The next variation of Voldemort, in 2005, featured the Dark Lord having his own minifigure. This variant of Voldemort's face was yellow in colouration, and featured red eyes. He had his face printed on the back of Professor Quirrell's head, which could be revealed by removing Quirrell's turban. The first version of Voldemort was featured on the Professor Quirrell minifigure in 2001.
