Amelda Brown credited as playing...
Mrs Cole
- Mrs. Cole: I must admit to some confusion receiving your letter, Professor Dumbledore. In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family visitor. There have been... incidents with the other children. Nasty things.
- [opens the door]
- Mrs. Cole: Tom? You have a visitor.
- Albus Dumbledore: How do you do, Tom?
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: [without turning around] Go.
- [cut to a short time later, as Dumbledore sits opposite Tom]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: You're the doctor, aren't you?
- Albus Dumbledore: No, I'm a professor.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm... different.
- Albus Dumbledore: Well, perhaps they're right.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I'm not mad.
- Albus Dumbledore: Hogwarts is not a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic. You can do things can't you, Tom? That other children can't.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt, if I want... Who are you?
- Albus Dumbledore: Well, I'm like you, Tom. I'm different.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: Prove it.
- [Dumbledore turns and looks at the wardrobe, which bursts into flames. Something rattles on the inside]
- Albus Dumbledore: I think there's something in the wardrobe trying to get out, Tom.
- [Tom opens the wardrobe, and dumps out the contents]
- Albus Dumbledore: Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom. At Hogwarts you will be taught not only how to use magic, but how to control it. Do you understand me?
- [Dumbledore starts to leave]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can speak to snakes, too. They find me... whisper things.
- [Dumbledore stops, looking surprised]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: Is that normal, for someone like me?
- Albus Dumbledore: [to Harry] What you are looking at are memories. In this case containing to one individual. Voldemort. Or as he was known then, Tom Riddle.
- [takes a memory]
- Albus Dumbledore: This file contains the most particular memory. The day I first met him. I'd like you to see it. If you want.
- [Harry takes the memory, poors its contents into the Pensieve, puts his head in the Pensieve, and watches Mrs. Cole leading a younger Dumbledore to Tom Riddle]
- Mrs. Cole: I must admit to some confusion receiving your letter, Mr. Dumbledore. In all the years Tom's been here he's never had a family visitor. There have been incidents with the other children. Nasty things.
- [knocks on Tom Riddle's door and opens it]
- Mrs. Cole: Tom, you have a visitor.
- Albus Dumbledore: How do you do, Tom?
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: Go.
- [Dumbledore seats himself]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: You're the doctor, aren't you?
- Albus Dumbledore: No. I'm a professor.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm... different.
- Albus Dumbledore: Well, perhaps they're right.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I'm not mad.
- Albus Dumbledore: Hogwarts is not a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic.
- [a puzzled expression comes across Riddle's face]
- Albus Dumbledore: You can do things, can't you, Tom? Things to the children, Tom.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without touching them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt. If I want. Who are you?
- Albus Dumbledore: I'm like you, Tom. I'm different.
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: Prove it.
- [Dumbledore conjures a fire in the wardrobe]
- Albus Dumbledore: I think there's something in your wardrobe that's trying to get out, Tom.
- [Riddle opens the burning wardrobe and finds a small box rattling, while the flames disappear]
- Albus Dumbledore: Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom. At Hogwarts you will not only be taught how to use magic, but how to control it. Do you understand me?
- [leaves]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can speak to snakes, too. They find me... whisper things.
- [Dumbledore turns around]
- Tom Riddle - Age 11: Is that normal for someone like me?
- [Dumbledore looks at Riddle and Harry suddenly takes his head out of the Pensieve]
