Those who turned out for the third in the Twilight series early this morning also got a sneak peek at another popular series nearing its end.

The trailer is now available on the web, and starts off with the snake-faced Voldemort (a slithery Ralph Fiennes) standing in the woods, before he is approached by star Harry.
