Dumbledore implies Tom Riddle was a habitual thief who stole things all the time at random just because he could or as trophies of cruel and violent acts but then he also suggests everything he is known to have stolen post orphanage was taken specifically to be turned into a Horcrux...which is not random and not habitual. Can't be both my guy.
I stg if Dumbledore ran a fandom blog he'd be that person who spins headcanons out of thin air with no basis in the text but then absolutely insists that they are canon and bashes anyone who dares to have a different interpretation or point out there's no actual support in text for what he's saying.
He really is absolutely unhinged about Riddle. Like legitimately he has such a bizarre fixation.

If love was a kind of magic, presumably it had to be stored somewhere in a living.
Presumably, then, it could also be removed from one and grafted into another: the same way Harry had acquired Parseltongue proficiency from Tom’s other-future self.
And since, according to Dumbledore, love came naturally to everyone – everyone but Tom – presumably any functioning body with a brain and heart would do; or any soul, if it came to that.
Tom just had to find out which part it was he needed to steal to become whole.
Non-defective.
“No,” Harry’s voice came, quiet, as he stepped through thin air and into the Very Old and Dusty Library, Labyrinth of Avoidance, Love.
Tom could barely suppress a smile as he set his quill down. Didn't bother to stuff the enchanted calculation pad away. It was a joke product that enabled real-time note-passing at work, left behind by Tom's predecessor and its twin, apparently, by Harry's.
Surely this was getting a bit old for the both of them.
"No?"
“Unspeakable Riddle,” Harry hissed, “I assure you it doesn’t work like that.”
The way Tom's smile widened further had Harry staring, his brows furrowed in suspicion.
It would be downright entertaining, Tom mused, how little it took to lure Harry over time and again, if Tom weren't in a bigger trouble in the first place.
"Well if you're quite positive ... perhaps you should demonstrate," he said airily. Leaning back in his wingback, he crossed his legs, took a sip of his coffee. "For science."
He refused to dwell on the grains of truth in his earlier monologue; just how much he meant it when he broadcasted his wish to know what it was like to be –
He scoffed, catching himself before such a disastrous trajectory took him to his own demise. Stole a glance at Harry, who was still scowling at him, lips pressed thin and accusing.
Just where things were, Tom would most definitely have to take things up a notch. Requesting a whole batch of lost souls from Harry’s team of Resurrectionists, specifically for Tom’s new ‘project’ ... although tactless, seemed like the safest place to start.

Wait what did Arthur edwards apologize for what did he do
He was on tv shortly after Harry and Meghan officially stepped down. Begging Harry to return 😭
I guess he had also repeatedly asked the palace to meet Meghan so they could "see she was human... " ( I’m not paraphrasing here). Then he’s like that didn’t happen and unfortunately she did get some bad press . And ended with “ we’re sorry and please come back Harry ”
