Revision as of 17:28, 20 October 2010
Wool's Orphanage in London was the home of Tom Marvolo Riddle during his childhood years. During the 1920s, the orphanage was a square building surrounded by high railings. It was run-down, but clean, and the orphans in residence were well cared for. They even enjoyed holidays at the seaside on occasion. Despite this, it seems the orphanage had some unpleasantness, as Tom despised returning to it, and Harry noted it seemed "a grim place in which to grow up"[1]. The orphanage was run by Mrs. Cole.
Sometime before 1997, the orphanage had been demolished to make way for an office block.[2] During their search for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley investigated the possibility that he had hidden one of them in the orphanage.

Behind the scenes
- In the Harry Potter books, no actual name is given to the orphanage. The orphanage is first named in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- It is interesting to note that the design of the walls in the orphanage as shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is similar to that of the Department of Mysteries.
