What movie did Lily and James Potter die?

James and Lily Potter were killed in their cottage in Godric's Hollow by Lord Voldemort on the 31st October 1981. Voldemort entered the house and was met by James, who had left his wand in the living room. James shouted at Lily, who was also wandless, to escape before Voldemort murdered him. Voldemort then went upstairs where Lily was barricading the door. She put Harry into his crib and then stood over it, begging Voldemort not to kill him. He told her to stand aside and, when she refused, he killed her before turning his wand on Harry.
