Who is Mattheo Riddle and Is He In Harry Potter?
Despite not being part of J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter series, Mattheo Riddle has found a niche within the fandom, brought to life through fan fiction and TikTok clips. Also known as Matthew Thomas Riddle, this character has been fancast as the son of Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr., famously known as Lord Voldemort, and Bellatrix Lestrange, one of Voldemort’s most loyal followers.
Matthew Riddle’s history is primarily showcased through clips on TikTok and other social media platforms, featuring actor Marcus Lopez Arguello from the movie “Deadly Class.” According to the Harry Potter Fandom page, he was born on December 29, 1991, making him the second eldest of the three siblings. His twin sister, Aliana, is ten seconds younger than him, and his half-sister Mandy Lestrange, who shares the same mother but not the same father, is the eldest.
Matthew’s years at Hogwarts (2002-2008) were packed with a multitude of experiences, from confronting bullies and studying hexes to navigating complex relationships and personal dilemmas. Notably, his school years were marked by his struggle to live up to his father’s name, all while dealing with emotional upheaval and navigating complex relationships. In the third year, Matthew began to harness his power, studying hexes and jinxes to combat bullies. Simultaneously, he fostered a secret crush on a young Ravenclaw girl, whom he publicly bullied. By the fourth year, he found himself embroiled in a serious fight and learned about his classmates’ fears through a lesson on Boggarts in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Matthew’s fifth year marked a significant change in his character as his disdain for Muggle-borns began to wane. This change of heart, however, was concealed to preserve his reputation. His hatred for Corwin Crouch, a classmate, began in his sixth year, fueling tensions that would later escalate into a war. By his seventh year, Matthew had developed a variety of skills, including Parseltongue, Legilimency, wandless magic, non-verbal magic, and Occlumency, which significantly influenced his journey.
A critical part of Matthew’s life at Hogwarts was his evolving relationship with Ava Granger. Initially rivals, they started secret tutoring sessions in his fourth year, which led to a blossoming romantic relationship. Their love story took a positive turn as they got engaged and married four years after graduation, even conceiving a son, Thomas Smith Riddle. Tragically, Ava was later murdered, leaving Matthew a widower.
Matthew Riddle’s intriguing life, from his Hogwarts years to his personal relationships, demonstrates the extensive creative liberties that fans take to expand the Harry Potter universe. Although he’s not part of the canonical Harry Potter world, the exploration of his story shows the depth of engagement within the Harry Potter fandom and the endless possibilities for creating new, captivating narratives.
That is crazy
@caniya,
I know what you mean i thought the same thing when i seen this and it made me have a lot have seconed hand answers that what i thought was right but i was not
@caniya, did you know that when Harry and draco duel there is a tic-tok that says so you wanna play with magic boy you should know what you’re falling for.
@Ihaveacrushonmattheoriddle,
No but that’s cool
Does anyone know what Matthew’s original fanfic is I’ve been trying to find it
The actors name is Benjamin Wadsworth, not Marcus Arguello. Marcus is Ben´s character in Deadly Class
@tara, it’s the opposite actually.
Merci beaucoup, je voyait cet acteur partout mais je ne savait pas son nom ni dans quel rôle jouait-il. Je vais regarder cette série avec grand plaisir

I kept seeing Mattheo in videos and had never seen him in the books or movies and was pretty confused but this really helped ty
I saw him in so many things and I was like ‘omg who r u like actually bc ur consuming my fyp and it’s annoying and also who put u in hogwarts/the harry potter universe in general like you don’t go here sir’
I honestly thought he was a real character I had just missed all this time. I was really looking forward to seeing him in the background of one of the movies.
I don’t think that this really specified who Mattheo riddle was and how his life was described can someone please help me to understand ,thank you xx
I honestly don’t understand still but you gotta admit he is cute
Me and my mom are huge fans of harry potter I watched all the movies read the series and the hard cover series and I was like am I missing something like I’ve never seen mattheo in anything other that tiktoks and stuff like omg lol
I love all the houses
Who here thinks that they should make a spin off movie series w/ Mattheo Riddle in it as the main character along w/ other characters for his trio or gang like the Silver trio or
The golden trio or even
The bronze trio
Because I need him in a spin off movie collection/series like yesterday Ofc he will be in Slytherin the best house don’t come after me it’s just facts but who else is ready for Mattheo riddle in a movie collection/show?

Omg I’m actually falling in love with Mattheo but like since when did he exist like I’ve never seen him before and all of a sudden he’s here like I’ve loved Harry Potter for ages and I never knew about him
