At fifteen, Tom has put behind him the problems of the regimented orphanage existence. He has learnt to fit well into the Hogwart's environment. He has learnt how to charm vulnerable people like horace Slughorn.
2. Grandiose sense of self-worth: Is dominating, opinionated, has an inflated view of own ability Riddle's 15 year old self is already "grandiose" in CoS, having adopted the name "Lord Voldemort"
3. Stimulation-seeking: Needs novelty, excitement, is prone to boredom and risk-taking behaviours The young Tom Riddle probably discovers the cave by "risk taking". As a teenager, he talks to, and lets loose the basilisk. As an adult, he takes out the Potters himself, which is risky. He duels with Harry, knowing it is risky. He appears in the Department of Mysteries, knowing it is risky. He turns up in a Saville Row suit on platform 9 3/4. (I'll bet he freaked the tailors out!)
4. Pathological lying: Exhibits pervasive lying, lies readily, easily and obviously As head student. Riddle lies glibbly to Dumbledore. In Cos he tells Harry :"Together we can bring your parents back"
5. Manipulation for personal gain: Is deceitful, manipulates, engages in dishonest or fraudulent schemes that can result in criminal activity Riddle manipulates Slughorn as a boy. Through the diary, he manipulates Ginny. He manipulates Quirrel, Pettigrew and the Malfoys, both Lucius and Draco. He believes that he is successfully manipulating Snape.
6. Lack of remorse: Has no guilt, lacks concern about the impact of his or her actions on others; justifies and rationalise their abuse of others As a child, Riddle shows no guilt whatsoever about having his box of stolen goods discovered. He is merely excited by the manner in which the revelation is achieved.
7. Shallow affect: Has only superficial bonds with others, feigns emotion
Riddle feigns affection for Slughorn by flattering him, and making him feel special. Only moments later, he issues a sinister veiled threat. "That will be our litle secret, won't it?" Riddle also refers to himself as the "merciful lord" who will end Harry's life, when he begs for mercy.
8. Callous or lacking empathy: Has a profound lack of empathy, views others as objects, has no appreciation of the needs or feelings of others
By the age of eleven, Riddle has already committed murder. He kills the elderly caretaker without reason. He orders the death of Cedric with "Kill the spare." He keeps his followers alive only so long as they are useful. He disposes of Snape with no remorse whatsoever.
9. Parasitic orientation: Exploits others, lives at the expense of friends and family, gets others to do his or her schoolwork using threats
Riddle, as an adult, lives as a parasite, literally. He exploits Quirrell, Pettigrew, the Malfoys, Nagini and Barty Crouch Jr. We are not told whether he exploited other kids at Hogwarts.
10. Poor anger control: Is hotheaded, easily offended and reacts aggressively, is easily provoked to violence
By the time Riddle is at Hogwarts, he has learnt to disguise his agression. While he comits violent acts at school, they are not openly violent. This skill of appearing "socialised and charming" while living a life of crime is characteristic of adult psychopathy (if they last long enough to display it) Tom has learnt young.
11. Impersonal sexual behaviour: Has multiple casual sexual encounters, indiscriminate sexual relationships, uses coercion and threats
We know nothing about Voldemort's sexual behaviour. There is an implication in Bellatrix behaviour that indicates a sexual interest.
12. Early behavioura problems: Lying, thieving, fire-setting before 10 years of age By age eleven Tom Riddle has committed theft and murder.
13. Lacks goals: Has no interest or understanding of the need for education, lives day-to-day, has unrealistic aspirations for the future We don't know what Riddle's attitude to education is. We do know that he doesn't want Hogwart's to close and leave him homeless. So education is a means to an end. His aspirations for the future are to live forever and to rule the world. These are hardly normal.
14. Impulsivity: Acts out frequently, quits school, leaves home on a whim, acts on the spur of the moment, never considers the consequences of impulsive acts The Impulsivity is also covered by the notion of "risk taking" dealt with previously. (The examples given here of quitting school and leaving home apply to teenagers in a more normal situation)
15. Irresponsibility: Habitually fails to honour obligations or debts, shows reckless behaviour in a variety of settings, including school and home
Tom Riddle does not honour anyone. The act of setting the basilisk loose was extreme recklessness.
16. Failure to accept responsibility: Blames other for his or her problems, claims that he or she was �set up�, is unable and unwilling to accept personal responsibility for their actions Riddle's muggle father is perceived as a source of his problems.
17. Unstable interpersonal relationships: Has turbulent extrafamilial relationships, lacks commitment and loyalty Riddle displays no loyalty to anyone.
18. Serious criminal behaviour: Has multiple charges of convictions for criminal activity Riddle, at age eleven, has committed murder. By the time he leaves Hogwart's he has committed at least three murders, extortion and serious defamation.
19. Serious violations of conditional release: Has two or more escapes from security or breaches of probation Not relevant.
20. Criminal versatility: Engages in at least six different categories of offending behaviour Riddle's offending behaviour (in Muggle terms) includes lies, theft, murder, extortion, blackmail, defamation, torture, threats and intimidation, discrimination etc.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
A lot better than I thought
I've never been a fan of these type of movies and wasn't too excited to go see this with my friends. But I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very well acted and exciting with a complex and interesting story. The first scene really got me into it. Great suspense. I'll admit, it wasn't perfect. There were some rather useless bits (including a rather random conversation about king Kong) and it was a bit long and while I don't have a problem with length, some people may find they movie too long. The ending was amazing, and I won't spoil it, but it was definitely worth the length. Overall this was a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone willing to sit through over 2 and a half hours for a satisfying and interesting story.
The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
Horrible
I have seen some bad movies before, but this was easily the worst.
I tried watching this with my brother, but he fell asleep 10 minutes into it (I'm surprised he made it that long).
It would be wrong to say It's about Han and Chewbacca trying to get home for life day, because they, along with the rest of the actual star wars cast are barley in the movie. It's actually about Chewbacca's family walking around their house, watching pointless holograms. Also, the wookiees are non subtitled, making this film all the worse.
Chewie's family includes his wife Malla, his son Lumpy, and his father, Itchy. There are two things I don't understand about them. One is why Itchy constantly yells at his grandson, and, two, what they say.
This movie also includes an extremely random and pointless scene at the Mos Esliy Cantina, a 5 second cameo by Darth Vader, and an awful song by princess Leia.
please, save yourself.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
a wonderful movie. Great acting by all of the cast and a brilliant plot!
fans of Lord of the rings and star wars will love this movie. Excellent job by Disney and the cast + crew. I am definitely going to see the sequel. lots of things from the ride. I was never a fan of pirate movies before I saw this. I think this is one of the best Disney movies ever. Jhonny and Orlando work so well together. Action packed and funny at the same time. If you haven't seen it yet go see it soon. Three thumbs up. just an Excellent movie. One of the best movies ever. I am now done with my summary. Good bye. thanks for reading.
thanks,
