The version of Tom Riddle in tCoS was young because he was a "copy" of Tom as he was when he wrote the diary.
After making a "copy" of himself in the diary the real Tom went on to become Voldemort and it was he who killed Harry's parents and who was seen at the end of tPS.
When the "copy" got powerful enough in tCoS it manifested itself in the form it was when the "copy" was made so in effect there were at that point two Tom Riddles - the "copy" from the diary and the older version that had become Voldemort.
Tom Riddle, as he appeared in tCoS, wasn't the same Voldemort that you saw at the end of tPS.
Don't know if that helps!
Ahh, so the physical manifestation of Tom is a copy (rather than the actual Tom of the past), created from the template in the diary, made flesh by draining the life out of small female Weasley...OK I think I get it now.
Still think it's a touch silly, but then it is a Kids' film

I think I see your confusion. However, if you look at the flashbacks to when Tom was at school, he had already released the Basilisk and tried to blame it on Hagrid and Aragog. Therefore, the seeds of Voldemort were already taking root.
I also believe that as Voldemort grew in power, his copy also grew in power.
I'm not confused, I know what happened!
I might have explained it badly above but I know how Tom became Voldemort etc (I've read the books as well as having seen the films).
The point I'm trying to make above is that Tom Riddle - as seen in tCoS - isn't the same person as Voldemort as seen at the end of tPS.

EDIT: Oh I almost forgot, what's most annoying and has been in all three films is that fact that everyone's lives revolve around Harry Potter and everything that happens is related to Harry Potter and if anyone stops talking about Harry Potter for more than a minute they get a slap.
As ive said to my friend who has yet to see starwars, its kinda like starwars. Everyone likes Han solo better than luke, just as almost everyone liking Ron more than Harry. Alot of the time we just want the winy git to go away so the 2 love intrests can get together with there quarrels and hidden signs of concern.

And this rather lovely fella (who lookswise is as lovely as mr Biggerstaff but I bet doesnt have the sexy accent) is Robert Pattinson Whos playing Cedric Diggory.
No wonder Cho chose him

Does he get to keep the egg in the book? Can't remember now, it's such a long time since I read it . . .
Svein
Feb 14 2005, 01:27 PM
I don't think it's really said. He gets the egg, solves it and does the task and then begins to prepare for the next one. I don't think Ms. Rowling ever really said if he kept it or not...
On a completely unrelated topic... call me a pervert or whatever, but am I the only one who thinks that Emma Watson is going to start breaking a lot of hearts soon. I saw her at the BAFTAS and she is turning into quite the attractive young lady... Could we be looking at another Kirsten Dunst here?

oh god, my older brother (who is 25) has been saying this for ages. he was saying when she was waaay too young to be thinking these things. now she's hitting the 15/16 mark it's not quite so scary, but still *shudder*
she is a very pretty girl though.

The Snitch have psoted up some new images from the GoF film, which have been taken from an up coming HP board game.
Most of the pics seem to be from the final task, so spoiler warnings if you must!

And Clémence Poésy was Mary, Queen of Scots, in "Gunpowder, Treason and Plot" that was on BBC last year...
