WIth filming currently underway for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie, news comes this morning of the complete cast list
for the movie. Ralph Fiennes's nine-year-old nephew, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, will be playing the role of young Tom Riddle at age 11, while 16-year-old Frank Dillane is playing the teenage Riddle.
David Heyman said:
I am really excited that David Yates and all our cast are back for the sixth film and welcome some wonderful new additions to our ensemble. We all share a commitment to Jo Rowling and to Harry Potter fans around the world to keep making these films the best they can be and, as we head into the final installments, I can promise that this level of commitment will not waver.
From the press release:
Additionally, several young newcomers will be making their feature film debuts in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Jessie Cave has won the role of Lavender Brown, who has eyes for Ron Weasley. Nine-year-old Hero Fiennes Tiffin is playing the role of young Tom Riddle at age 11, while 16-year-old Frank Dillane is playing the teenage Riddle, who is already on the path to become the evil Lord Voldemort.
You may remember that back in October it was rumored that Ralph's nephew would play a young Tom Riddle.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released on November 21, 2008.

Unfortunately, I can't find pictures of Ralph Fiennes' nephew on Google. I Google image searched for Frank Dillane and he seems to be an awesome pick. Looks very Tom Riddley.

I couldn't find photos of Frank Dillane as 16 teenager neither.
KarateKid, could you send me some links you found?
There are loads of photos of Stephen Dillane, which is Frank's father.
The only pics I found about Frank are when he was 6 years old. He was cute and looked older than his age. Here is one of them:

In my opinion, he should be good for Tom.
Here is a photo of his father Stephen for reference:

What about Rufus Scrimgeour (sp?)??? I'm guessing that means that he is not going to be in the movie.

RON's all up in heRmiONe says:
His nephew's name is Hero? No offense, but thats an odd name, but it is really cool! Its a good choice that they chose Ralph's nephew to play young voldemort. Since he's his nephew, he'll probibly look like him somewhat. I don't know who Frank Dillane is, but I hope he's good(they chose him to play teen voldemort, so he must be good)!
I can't wait to see this movie!! I can't wait to see how they show Ron/Hermione Harry/Ginny getting closer together, and Dumbledore's funeral. I hope they show the part where Ron strokes Hermione's hair while she cries on his shoulder...that was one of the best parts of the book(well, that and the parts where Ron started avoiding Lavender which showed he started hating her. If he liked Hermione so much, he should have not gone out with her to begin with, but if thats how Jo wanted the book to go, that's how it is...) The whole book was amazing. Its gonna be a great movie.

I think its such an awesome idea that they chose Ralph Fiennes' nephew to play his younger self. Nothing like a little family resemblance to really validate the part. I wonder if the little kid is a good actor; hopefully his uncle's acting talent runs in the family.
