UPDATE - V3 RELEASED

Version 3 is now released. If you have my Google Drive link, there is no need to request a new link as the version in the directory is the one updated.

Please enjoy! 😃

Top-of-the-head changes:

• GoF-Voldemort on the back of Quirell’s head.
• Some minor movement added to certain “dull” shots (read: too many static shots). This has been done to a great degree in V2, so in this version a tad more.
• A few tweaks to the opening intro. Better snow and clouds.

- Surround added ontop of the Stereo track, as to create a very, very impressive stereo soundtrack, in which the audio levels have been manually edited throughout the entire, full runtime. Dialogue and sfx is now clearer and more impressive than ever before, and even on my 9.1 surround sound home cinema, there is not much difference to an ordinary, channeled audio soundtrack.

• Replaced three bad shots with a lot of noise with 4K shots of replaced scene. I wanted to do the same with a Hagrid/Harry scene, but it was just as bad on the 4K version as the HD one…
• Improved color grading to a couple of scenes.
• More color as Harry discovers Hogwarts, and gradually getting a tad more ominous and dark as the film progresses.
• Fixed freeze frames from V2 version.
• Improved black backgrounds. Due to the film being shot on film, and a 1080p master as the source, there is only so much I can do.
• Removed the Key chase scene in-between the Devil’s snare and the Chess game. Structurally, this works so much better. Fluffy is the first challenge, the Chess challenge the second (at a staggering 6 minute runtime) and then Voldemort at a solid 7 minutes as the third challenge. It flows better, feels better - and also, the Key Challenge is awkward from start to finish. Bad CGI, no stake - and no importance to Harry’s arc.
