Location from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
A small Muggle village dominated by the Riddle House on the hill, site of Voldemort's parents' history and the graveyard where he was resurrected using Harry's blood in a dark ritual.
Little Hangleton is ground zero for Voldemort's origin story. The Riddle House belonged to Tom Riddle Sr., a wealthy Muggle who was seduced by Merope Gaunt using a love potion, fathered Tom Marvolo Riddle, and abandoned both mother and child when the potion wore off. Merope died in childbirth at a London orphanage. Her son grew up to be Lord Voldemort, returned to Little Hangleton to murder his father and grandparents, and framed his uncle Morfin for the crime. The Gaunt shack in the woods — where Morfin lived surrounded by dead snakes nailed to the door — is where Dumbledore found Marvolo's ring and received the curse that slowly killed him. The village graveyard is where Cedric Diggory died and Voldemort was reborn in a cauldron of bone, blood, and flesh, returning to a body after thirteen years as a wraith.
A quiet English village in a valley, overlooked by the grand Riddle House on the hillside — once fine, now derelict and rumored cursed since three members of the Riddle family were found dead in the dining room with no visible cause of death. The village church has a graveyard where the Riddle family is buried. The Gaunt shack — a hovel hidden in the woods nearby — is where Voldemort's maternal family lived in squalor.
