Watch Jaw-dropping Trailer For Fanmade Harry Potter Spinoff Voldemort: Origins Of The Heir


The Harry Potter Universe may be getting more attention again with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but Tryangle Films is working on this amazing looking movie that looks to explore the origins of Tom Marvolo Riddle and his rise to power as Wizard-Hitler Lord Voldemort.

The series looks to follow the point of view of Gryffindor heir Grisha McLaggen as she investigates Riddle's rise to power and tries to put a stop to it before it's too late. Here's a synopsis from their main page:

What made Tom Riddle become Voldemort? What happened in those years, and what really went down at Hogwarts when he came back? There are some clues in the books which have not been transposed at all in the movies, but a lot goes unspoken. This is the story we want to tell: the rise of the Dark Lord before Harry Potter and his first demise.

The first teaser for the series was released a year ago, and if you want to check that out, you can see that a lot of improvement has gone from cinematography to CGI. Here was the original pitch for Voldemort: Origins of the Heir:

Now, though I am impressed with how much the production value has changed in just a year, the narration from the McLaggen character is a bit off, and I think that it could use some improvement. The concept for the movie is very intriguing though, and if Warner Bros would make this their spinoff movie, I'd pretty much watch it over Fantastic Beasts.

Voldemort: Origins of the Heir is currently shooting, and if you're interested, you can donate to the production here.
