what did voldermort mean by milking nagini?

and how come there are never any funerals mentioned in any of the books?

where do they go when they die?

There is a funeral for Dumbledore in the half blood prince. Frank is the riddle's gardener/handyman, he was the one killed at the start, voldemort killed him (it was harry's dream but it was true), with a wand.

Hey Cliff,

Have you read book 6 yet? It explains a lot.

In the beginning of goblet, voldemort kills his father (Tom Riddle) and his father's parents. The gardener (frank) gets blamed for the murders, and years later it is him who overhears voldemort in the house, and he gets caught snooping, so voldemort kills him.

Don't know about the rest... sorry!

thanks estie, that's where i got confused, i knew he killed his dad,  but also thought he killed mum, and then wondered if tom was the third person found dead.

so tom killed his dad and grandparents,

great , got that  thanks ever much

You're welcome, cliff! And don't let the meanies keep you away!

Any time you want to chat about Harry Potter, I'm up for it :-)

  Ok
Ok well I think Tom Riddle or Lord Voldemort (and you flinched get used to hearing his name) killed his parents, but I'm not sure about the frank guy. I also think the nagini character was some sort of snake.
Estie you've got it all wrong. Unless I'm mistaken you were under the impression that Tom Riddle was Voldemort's father, but Voldemort is Tom Riddle which is said in the second book and movie

Are you kidding, snicketfan?!

They were both called Tom Riddle.

Question Author

yeh both wee called tom but later tom junior added marvelo as his middle name, so when the letters were rearranged they spelt     I AM LORD VOLDERMORT,

he killed his dad  and grandparents, his mum died giving bith to him, she was a witch and when tom senior who was a muggle found out he abandoned her even though she was expecting his baby. i am now reading the order of the phonix again so i may be back asking more questions.    thanks to all who answered my questions.

Right..

If you have to be over the age of 17 to put your name in the goblet of fire and Fred and George (Rons bro's) couldn’t do it who are 2 years above Hermione (and Harry + Ron) this would make Hermione at least 15 ( i think she was 15)

Then victor krum (who managed to put his name in the goblet, so he must be at least 18) takes her on a date..

Is this acceptable? 18(nearly 19) y/o with a 15 (just turned)y/o?
