This project aims to present the eight Harry Potter films with an extended runtime that helps expand on the characters, story and improves the pacing, along with restoring some unused music back into some scenes.

I have always wanted Warner Bros to release extended editions of the Harry Potter films like New Line did with Lord of the Rings. While they did put out extended editions of the first two films, they scraped plans for the rest, as the extended editions for the following films were exclusive to TV.

I have decided to put together my own extended editions, which doesn’t add back in every deleted scene that has been released, but only ones that felt necessary to expand and complete the characters and narrative, while not affecting the pacing, or in some cases, improve upon it. I have also taken it upon myself to add back in a few shots exclusive to the trailers that also add a little something (including an attempt to add in the unreleased scene from Deathly Hallows - Part 2 where Draco throws his wand to Harry), along with restoring unused music to breathe new life back into some already present scenes. A big credit goes to JJPotter’s work on his extended edition edits, due to finishing some of the unfinished VFX present in some deleted scenes.
