Fake Harry Potter 9 trailer features Voldemort's return

A new trailer claiming to be for a Harry Potter film titled "Harry Potter 9: Return of the Dark Lord" has gone viral online. Fans are debating if the footage is authentic or just a clever fan-made video. The trailer features Ralph Fiennes’ character, Lord Voldemort, which has sparked excitement and speculation about his possible return. However, this trailer is not official. It was created by KH Studio, a YouTube channel known for making concept trailers. The video has gained significant attention, with over 483,000 views and 1,400 likes. It includes clips from previous Harry Potter films and uses AI-generated images and a synthetic voice to mimic Voldemort. The story depicted in the trailer shows Voldemort returning to Hogwarts and causing chaos after his defeat in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." He challenges Harry Potter to face him again. Currently, Warner Bros. is developing a Harry Potter reboot series for HBO, set to launch in 2026. No actor has been cast yet for Voldemort in this series. However, Ralph Fiennes has previously shown interest in reprising his role if given the opportunity, as there are discussions about creating more Harry Potter content.
