I enjoyed this a lot. While the production value wasn't as good as the fan film "Origins of the Heir" I enjoyed the casting and storyline a lot more. I really liked how much research they put into this, and they did a great job showing Voldemort becoming more and more inhuman as the horcruxes were created. Out of the three, I'd definitely say this one was my favorite!

This was incredibly good! I liked how the atmosphere was maintained; the feel of extreme nasty. I also particularly liked how the person who was playing Tom Riddle (Voldemort) was what would be considered extremely good looking, even charismatic in his looks and demeanor, yet he used that to such ill-effect.

And, as Arianna mentions, his choices of who and what he is has a definite effect upon his looks ... and charisma. Superb acting by all the people in all the roles!

And I loved it being in French. <3

I absolutely loved this one! Like Arianna said, the production value wasn't in the range of Origins of the Heir at all, but the plot line to this was wonderful. And like Tarma said, that was the one big thing I noticed about Voldemort. He was so good looking in this, and that fits the character so well in how he used all of that to his advantage. I also loved how they showed the deterioration of his form as he continued to make his horcruxes.

The only thing I really wanted more of was a bit more background into Tom, and I know that wasn't the point of this movie, but I wish something would show more of him as a teenager and what he went through to make this decision. I can figure it all out for myself easily, but it would be nice to see and tying it into the creation of the horcruxes. Also, the beginning horcrux scenes happened so quickly, and I wish they would have had a bit more detail to them for a longer movie.

I also loved that it was in French. Listening to the French (and knowing French) and reading the subtitles at the same time is an interesting experience.
