Continuity mistake: In the dormitory, when lovestruck Ron is going gaga over Romilda, he is wearing a brown sleeveless tee shirt and its tan trim has many holes. When Harry brings Ron to Slughorn, Ron is still wearing that tee shirt, but now some of the holes are gone and the rest of the holes have changed position. (01:26:50)

Harry and Dumbledore discover that Voldemort made seven Horcruxes - everyday objects that contain pieces of Voldemort's soul. Two have been destroyed, Tom Riddle's diary and a ring formerly owned by Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore find a third - a locket in a cave. As they return to the castle, Malfoy appears and disarms Dumbledore. He tries to kill him but can't do it. Snape then appears and kills Dumbledore himself. He escapes along with Malfoy and the other Death Eaters. Harry opens the locket to find a note saying that the Horcrux is a fake, replaced by R.A.B.

Hagrid: Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes I reckon. They unnerve some folk.
Harry: Not to mention the pincers.
Trivia: Young Tom Riddle is played by newcomer Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, who is the nephew of Ralph Fiennes, the actor who plays Lord Voldemort, aka Tom Riddle.
Question: When Harry sees into the past of Dumbledore's meeting with young Tom Riddle, Tom admits that he hurts people if they are mean to him. Since Tom openly admits this with obviously no guilt or remorse, why would Dumbledore take him to Hogwarts to learn magic instead of leaving him at the orphanage?
Answer: Not to mention, Hogwarts is not the only magical school in existence. A wizard as powerful as Tom Riddle, if Hogwarts had not taken him in, there's a good chance another school that was more willing to teach Dark Arts could have taken him in, which could have been a lot worse for the wizarding world. Good chance this crossed Dumbledore's mind, and he figured Tom Riddle had a better chance at Hogwarts, where they'd teach him to properly control his magic rather than another school that will just teach him more dark magic.

Answer: Leaving an untrained young wizard, who obviously has some behavioral issues and has no idea he is magical, alone in the Muggle world would be extremely dangerous. Dumbledore does not yet know that Riddle will become evil, but like any teacher, he wants to give a troubled youth an opportunity to find a new path in life.
