| | | Exclusive: Confirmed two teenage Tom Riddles in Half-Blood Prince
Contrary to recent rumors and according to a verified source on set, Michael Berendt, who we told you last week will be playing Tom Riddle at age 18 in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will not be replacing actor Frank Dillane, who was cast as Tom Riddle at age 16.
So what will Berendt be doing in the film as 18-year old Tom Riddle? His role merely consists of a pair of hands stealing the Hufflepuff cup – that's it. The actor has no dialogue and no face time on screen. |

That's a bit ... odd. I'm sure they could've just went and picked some random person to be "The Hands". I don't really see why they had to get another Tom Riddle just to do a scene that would probably take a few moments to get through.

I don't understand why they have to drag some 18-year old in to show his hands for one second.
They could've used anyone elses hands - someone already in the film for example!
Ah well.. (:

come to think of it, he could play the 18 year old Tom Riddle, since all they needed were a pair of hands |

That's good! I honestly didn't think that actor would be good as the 18-year old Tom Riddle. If I were him and he knew they'd only be using his hands in the movie, I wouldn't have accepted the role. He probably only accepted for the money.
