They appear to have changed the surname from Riddle to Ryddle. 
Changing the I to a Y. Perhaps they intend to change the anagram 
from "I am Lord Voldemort" to "My name is Lord Voldemort". That 
would require extra leters M N E I S. Maybe they will give him 
two middle names, Tom Marvolo Simen Ryddle. I think I must be 
typing in my sleep.
