.KEY POINTS:
The teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has debuted online, and offers a glimpse at what's in store for everyone's favourite boy wizard.
The first look at author J.K. Rowling's sixth installment in the Potter saga arrives ahead of the film's November release.
Somber in tone, the highly-anticipated trailer shows benevolent wizard Albus Dumbledore looking into the past. There's also a glimpse of the young Tom Riddle, who grows up to become the wizarding world's most malevolent force, Lord Voldemort.
"I can make things move without touching them," a young Lord Voldemort says in a sinister voice. "I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me."
"I can speak to snakes, too," he adds. "They find me, whisper things."
The trailer then cuts to scenes of fire, destruction, and a shot of Ron Weasley lying on the floor.
Directed by David Yates, the latest Potter film follows the trials of Harry as he embarks on his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The film also lays the foundation for Potter's final battle against Voldemort as told in the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
