Here is the just-released new trailer from the first part of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which is set to debut November 19.

And, from the looks of it, things are not going to go well for the boy who did not die, as Voldemort seems very much in command in this darkest of movies in the long-running series.

We’ll have to wait until next year to find out how it all turns out for Harry, of course.

Until then, enjoy (if you can):

The newest trailer for the latest in the long-running movie series of the boy-who-lived wizard is finally showing just how dark magic can get.

In the trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”–the book it is based on has been split into two parts–things are looking bleak for Harry, Hermione and Ron, who are now very much grown up, as creepy, face-deprived Voldemort steps up his game.

Lots of foreboding and slithery threats and zero kooky spells for the movie, which is coming out on Nov. 19. The second part and the last of the series comes out in 2011.

Yipes:

The “Twilight” saga, which seems to have just ended with the release of the second film in the series, “New Moon,” in November, is baaaaack.

And, of course, the Internet is huffing and puffing over this one, “Eclipse,” set for June, since its trailer just came out.

In the clip, it looks like Bella and Edward are still not together (as in not doing it). Good Lord, wasn’t that the plot of the last movie and the one before that? Plus, the Wolfman Kid is back, as part of the freaky love triangle.

Then again, to be fair, Harry Potter is still battling Voldemort. The next movie in that series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the first of a two-parter, comes out in mid-November.

Here’s the video of the new “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” trailer, as well as a teaser trailer the next “Harry Potter” film:

Last week, BoomTown posted on the amazing number of Joker impression videos related to the hit Batman movie, “The Dark Knight,” that were popping up all over the Web.

Next up?

Well, it seems the honor will be going to Harry Potter knockoffs and tributes, due to the upcoming sixth movie in the series about the boy wizard, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

The movie is set to be released Nov. 21 and focuses on the early life of evil Lord Voldemort, when he was only a creepy orphan named Tom Riddle.

Here’s a video, below, of the actual trailer, which was recently released online and is playing in theaters.

And below that is a good example of one of the many user-created videos that tout the new Potter movie by using old clips to create new trailers. None of them is sanctioned by Warner Bros. (TWX), which is releasing the movie and will not likely discourage the phenomenon, as it builds excitement for the film.

That would be Yahoo, Microsoft and Carl Icahn.

The trio are fighting over the fate of Yahoo (YHOO) and who should control the iconic Web company.

It is a tussle that will make for daily drama until Yahoo’s Aug. 1 annual meeting, where Icahn will seek victory in his proxy fight for the company.

Who will prevail?

Will it be Yahoo’s current management, led by Co-Founder and CEO Jerry Yang, who has not exactly distinguished himself as an agent of change at the company that has surely needed it for a good long time now?

Or perhaps Microsoft (MSFT), now fully led by CEO Steve Ballmer, a company that has spent the better part of the decade not getting the Internet and flubbing most of its obvious advantages in the space?

Or Icahn, the activist investor who is not exactly a Web 2.0 kind of guy (he’s not a Web 1.0 kind of guy either, or–let’s be honest–a Web Anything.0 kind of guy)?

For shareholders, it must feel like deciding among the lesser of three evils.

Indeed, this is clearly no Harry Potter versus He-Who-Cannot- Be-Named kind of battle, even though it will be portrayed like that by all sides over the next weeks.

Already comes the dueling and deeply conflicting statements this weekend and today, after the collapse of yet another round of talks over Microsoft’s interest in buying Yahoo’s search business, in which Icahn played the peacemaker.

(Nice work, Carl! Now everyone hates each other 312 percent more! Mission accomplished!)

While such fighting is to be expected, some of the conflict will probably be much more subtle, such as the poor-little-me-but-chin-up wet kiss that Yang got from the New York Times today.

Yang even got to call Icahn a “fox in a henhouse” in the very first line of the story.

That gift was quickly followed by this doozie: “‘I don’t mean to impugn anyone’s personal integrity,’ Mr. Yang quickly added. ‘Let it never be said that Mr. Yang lacks manners.’”

But why don’t we just let it be said: Yang meant to impugn Icahn and meant to be rude, which is exactly what he has to do to save his job.

And, so it will be.

Today, for example, sources close to Microsoft were trying to make their case that the search deal they offered to Yahoo was a good one and then stressed it did not have to include Icahn, even though Icahn was deeply enmeshed in the talks last week.

And the offer was definitely a better deal: It had a much better revenue guarantee that was linked to homepage traffic versus search queries; it upped TAC (traffic acquisition cost) rates; it had a nice-sized investment and a good loan rate; and it took costs off the books.

It also featured a lot of things Yahoo management could do itself–like sell off its Asian assets.

But it was a good start, in a lot of ways.

Yet, as with all communications between Yahoo and Microsoft, acrimony instead reigned over the Icahn involvement and alleged take-it-or-leave-it deadlines and other bickered-over items, none of which makes a thimble’s worth of difference.

Ipso facto, the search deal flopped in a big, loud and unattractive heap.

For those who want to clear away the noise, here are the actual stakes:

Yang simply does not want to sell his search business wholesale and wants a second chance to try to revive Yahoo, with him or people picked by him and the board, despite his inability to do so thus far. He would sell the entire company if that’s the only choice.

Microsoft wants to own Yahoo’s search business, in order to try to at least stay in the game with its true archrival Google (GOOG), and it will do just about anything to make that happen. It does not want to buy all of Yahoo anymore.

And Icahn? Well, he just wants to be paid back what he shelled out for Yahoo shares, and a little more to save face. He does not care how this happens, as long as it does.

None of this, of course, has anything to do with what’s good for Yahoo–a site of immense and powerful assets that are now being abused daily by this twisted circus.

Of course, all sides profess to care about that and I think they even believe they mean it.

They really don’t, of course, because if they did, they would find a way to come to an agreement before the situation degenerates further.

In the New York Times article, Yang, who I believe would fall on his sword if need be, noted: “‘This isn’t about me,’ he said, with a sense of earnestness. ‘It’s about what’s going to happen to Yahoo.’”

But, if this keeps up–and I mean this with a sense of earnestness–what’s going to happen to Yahoo is a true shame.

Or, as Voldemort taunted Harry Potter: “You will lose everything.”
