I would say that this is probably the most practical reason the teaser 
trailer doesn't have a lot of the big, spectacular scenes like I think 
the graveyard will be. I'm studying film in school and one of the 
things most of my professors say is to do the big things first that 
need to be done in post (IE the dragons, mermaids or back in CoS Dobby 
or in PoA Buckbeak..just for reference) and then the smaller things. I 
think a great deal of what will make the graveyard ominous and what not 
will be the smaller details that you might not even realize are CGI at 
first (like shadows etc...)

I agree that the Climax likely won't be seen in the trailers until the 
film comes out. Despite the facts that the books have been available 
for a while, they still want to keep the look and details underwraps.I 
remember when CoS came out someone leaked details of the 
production/story  on the net and it was a big concern to many while 
others thought well the books have been out. I think it will be in the 
later trailers after release (think along the lines of when Star Wars 
Episode Two came out and you didn't see like Yoda fighting until after 
the movie came out...then everyone knew this was the most awesome part 
and the producers made that into a trailer).
