A new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie trailer/teaser premiered recently showing a young Voldemort.


"A new trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" gives a glimpse of the young Tom Riddle, who grows up to become the wizarding world's most malevolent force, Lord Voldemort."

Interestingly, the old Voldemort is played by Ralph Fiennes, while the young Voldemort is played by Fiennes' nephew, Hero. Director David Yates said that the fact Hero is related to Ralph wasn't the primary reason for choosing him to play the villain's younger self.


Harry Potter, the boy wizard created by JK Rowling, has grown in popularity ever since the first book was published in 1997. "As of June 2008, the seven book series has sold more than 400 million copies[3] and the books have been translated into 67 languages."


"In November 2007, the magazine Advertising Age estimated the total value of the Harry Potter brand at roughly $15 billion (£7 billion).["


All five Harry Potter films rank to date in the Top 20 of the inflation-adjusted list of all time top grossing films, and this next one is sure to not dissappoint.
