1 agos 1938 año - Dumbledore visits Tom Riddle in the orphanage

Descripción:

August, 1938: After charming the skeptical matron with magic, manners, and gin, Dumbledore meets Riddle in his room and reveals that the boy is a wizard and invites him to Hogwarts.

Tom Riddle proves himself to be a bossy, hostile, independent, and calculating child who terrifies and torments the other orphans. At first, he guesses that Mrs. Cole has brought Dumbledore to lock him away in a psychiatric institution, but once he believes that Dumbledore is from a school for wizards, he is delighted with this explanation of his unusual abilities. Dumbledore uses magic to engulf Tom’s wardrobe in harmless flames, and prompts the boy to take out his stash of stolen trinkets. Making it clear that authority and discipline are to be taken seriously at Hogwarts, Dumbledore tells Tom that he must returns the objects to their owners (and that Dumbledore will be able to tell whether or not he does so). After Dumbledore has provided all the information Tom needs in order to get all his school supplies and get to Hogwarts, Tom reveals that he can speak to snakes.
