Voldemort: Origins of the Heir – Watch the trailer for new fan film

Voldemort – Origins of the Heir talks about the early life of Voldemort, powerful dark Wizard from the Harry Potter saga, and all the reasons that made his name so well-known and feared among his peers.

According to the official site, additional original characters will also be introduced in the film: not only the protagonist, the Heir of Slytherin, but also the other Hogwarts houses heirs.

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 idea of the film comes from Gianmaria Pezzato (director and screenwriter) and Stefano Prestia (executive producer), with the intention to show the psychological aspect of Tom Riddle before he became known as Voldemort. The movie follows a part of his life that has mostly been left out in the official movies of the saga.

This is looking very well made and I am looking forward to seeing more.
