About the Tom Riddle School Quiz
The Tom Riddle School Quiz contains 12 carefully selected questions covering Tom Riddle’s time as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (1938–1945). This period is crucial because it shows the transformation of a brilliant, charming, and seemingly model student into the person who would later terrorize the wizarding world as Lord Voldemort.
Why Tom Riddle’s Hogwarts Years Are So Fascinating
Tom Riddle arrived at Hogwarts as an eleven-year-old orphan from a Muggle orphanage. Within a very short time he:
- Became the best student in almost every subject
- Was made prefect in fifth year and Head Boy in seventh
- Discovered he was a Parselmouth and heir of Slytherin
- Opened the Chamber of Secrets (1943)
- Created his first Horcrux (the diary) after murdering Myrtle Warren
- Manipulated teachers (especially Slughorn) to obtain crucial magical knowledge
- Assembled the earliest version of what would later become the Death Eaters
These school years contain some of the most important clues about how Voldemort was made — not born.
