They left the first Horcrux as Tom Riddle's "diary", which confused the hell out of me because I could not understand what diary would have the year and dates on pages when you can write diary entrances longer than a page and use the book in a different year. It clicked this year, many years later, that it was a *day planner*/calendar.

Stupid, but I really thought Voldemort kept a journal where he'd be like, "Dear Diary, Bellatrix keeps asking me to Hogsmeade, I have no idea why. I found a snake, I think I'll adopt it." and crap like that (only in character.)

Huh?? I always thought diary = journal...Maybe I need to reread the books.

Wait, what? I always thought it was an actual diary and he wrote the date at the top of each entry as he wrote. "Diary" = planner in British English would explain my mild confusion about why it wasn't called a journal since it was a boy writing it.

Wait, what?

That's what I always thought it was too? I never thought it was a day planner. Weird.

Hermione rubs the Revealer on "January 1st", there's a year recorded. And in watching Sherlock "The Blind Banker", John gets the journalist's "diary", which is a day planner.

Growing up, I had diaries that were called diaries that had the dare at the top of each page. The goal was to write a little each day. I have always seen a "dairy" as something with a dated page for each day (sometimes with a lock) for writing in daily, and a "journal" as a blank book with no dates for jotting down whatever/whenever.

Okay, SOMEONE needs to write that.

But Bellatrix was a later generation--she's Narcissa's cohort, who is roughly the same age as Lucius who was a prefect in Snape's (and Lily and James's) first year. Tom went to Hogwarts in like the '40s. He's old enough to be Harry's grandfather.

Huh. I never realized that it was a day planner. Interesting.
