In with a new interview with Harry Potter producer David Heyman, Heyman briefly discusses
the notable British thespians in the films and the fact that no matter the character or role they are all treated the same:
The smallest part is treated with the same attention and care as the lead roles. Not just in the casting, but also the directing.
Thanks to TLC for letting us know about another interview in which director David Yates says that he has found the person to play a young Riddle. The piece does mention that Ralph Fiennes' nephew, Titan Tiffin, has been cast as Tom Riddle:
I've found a really interesting kid to play Riddle. I can't tell you who it is yet - it's early days.
Please treat Yates' comments as rumor till confirmed by the studios.

Sorry for the double post, but it says his nephew is 11 years old. Is there any news on the older version Tom Riddle actor that I missed?

Hmmm... I can't to see the young Tom Riddle in action in HBP. That is going to be the most amazing part of the movie and I can't wait to see the early years of Voldemort displayed on the big screen!

Well it would makes sense to cast Ralph Fiennes’ nephew for the part if they look similar. Of course Riddle was handsome and Voldemort is grotesque. But I hope whoever they get is sufficiently evil. But Won’t they need two Riddles one at 11 and one for the late Hogwarts/ the few years after Hogwarts or is they guy from COS coming back to play older teenage Voldemort again?

Makes you wonder who he may have found for the young Riddle! It will be an unknown ... much like Dan Radcliffe was way back when he was 11 years old!
Getting more & more excited!

I can't wait to see this young Riddle! It's going to be very interesting to see his handsome young face. It'd be such a pity if they casted some ugly young bloke. *laughs*

Not to sound vain or aesthetics-obsessed, but I hope the Tom Riddle in HBP is good-looking, because it's stated so many times that he was handsome, which is important because people need to know Voldy didn't always look like well...Voldy (snake man).

I suppose that the actress portraying Narcissa has already been announced, though I have got no idea as to whether it has been debunked as a rumor or not.

That's very exciting! I wish we could know who it was! haha, but like that would happen. I know how that is, treating all parts the same, I'm in drama at school, and all of us are treated as though we had the lead role.

Who ever gets the part...I'm sure it will be great! The kids growing up has been a problem for the movies. Unlike when they filmed Lord of the Rings, they HP films couldn't be filmed all at once. The books were not finished yet. Oh well I enjoy the films none the less.

They should hire that kid who played Damian in the Omen 666. He was dead creepy. But unfortunately also American, at least I think so...
