Tom Riddle

Character from Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Not a ghost, not a body -- a memory preserved in a diary for fifty years, as handsome and charming as the sixteen-year-old Hogwarts prefect he once was. Tom Riddle is the past tense of Lord Voldemort, and he is draining the life from a little girl to make himself real again.
