Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord, the first trailer begins with an eerie, foreboding atmosphere, showing Hogwarts years after the defeat of Voldemort. The castle is peaceful, but unsettling events are starting to take place. Flickering lights, dark shadows, and strange magical disturbances haunt the school. The voice of Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) narrates over these scenes: “The battle may have been won, but the war… was never truly over.”
The scene shifts to an older Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), now living a quiet life as an Auror, raising his family with Ginny (Bonnie Wright). But Harry is troubled by recurring nightmares—visions of Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in a form he’s never seen before, more sinister and twisted. The dreams intensify, showing Harry haunted by the Dark Lord’s lingering presence.
