Teenage monster
Tom Riddle is the real name of the terrible Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter saga. In the second installment of the saga: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Hogwarts School is the victim of attacks by the mysterious Slytherin heir, one of the school’s creators who vowed to purge” the school of all non-pureblood wizards. Several students, a cat and Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, find themselves petrified by this notorious monster, who allegedly claimed a victim fifty years ago. While no one has any idea who this heir would be, Harry finds the diary of a boy named Tom Riddle who takes him down memory lane and shows him that it would be Hagrid. But it was actually a giant spider that Hagrid kept and it never hurt anyone. The monster is in fact a basilisk, a kind of giant snake that only responds to the Slytherin heir. At the end we realize that Tom Riddle had taken control of Ginny Weasley all year through the diary that had been placed in her cauldron by Lucius Malfoy at the beginning of the year. Tom Riddle draws on Ginny’s strength, manages to get out of the diary and reveals to Harry that he is in fact Voldemort. Harry uses one of the Basilisk’s poison fangs to destroy the diary and the memory of Tom Riddle with it, saving Ginny in the process.
