The release of a teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 includes "shots of Harry and Hermione looking at his parents' grades, the trio spending time in the woods and in London during their hideout period, and some fights against Voldemort's lackeys," MTV's Hollywood Crush Blog observed, adding: "We like the cinema verite look that director David Yates promised while Harry, Ron and Hermione travel through London. Overall, we've found plenty to get excited over as we wait the next 11 months for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to be released."
